Incredible restaurant, talked to the pastry chef and heaf chef and they were very kind and explained the dishes very well, such talented and wonderful chefs. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. And of course, the food was marvellous, worth every penny.

May 2024 While the food was extremely delicious and well-crafted, we could not get over how little the portions were, considering how expensive the prices were. We left feeling hungry, which was a shame. Had the portions been bigger it would have been great. Nevertheless, when we mentioned this to the waiter, they did arrange for us to receive an extra dessert as a gesture, which was kind. And they welcomed our feedback. There are other Michelin-starred restaurants in the area that will give you far more than this even if you're paying a higher price. Taste and service wise, all good, it was just a real shame about the expensive prices and very small portions.

The meal was absolutely delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The dishes were well-prepared and flavorful, making the experience delightful overall. However, I found the wagyu a bit too fatty for my personal taste. That said, the quality was undeniably excellent. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

Honestly one of the best meals we’ve have ever had - everything about the food and the service was absolutely perfect! Sitting at the chef’s counter was the place to be, and the wine recommendations from Julia were spot on. Thank you all so much - we’ll definitely be coming back!

Great restaurant and very impressed by the cozy atmosphere, and the team are quite friendly. Food is excellent and leave one star blank cause the sauce form the dishes are a bit similar and the desert is normal(my personal feeling). Overall is a decent restaurant and deserves the star for sure. Fabulous experience!

This was recommended to me, We opted for the 5 course tasting menu at the dining counter. Staff were thorough and friendly, absolutely loved their attention detail and their knowledge on everything being served. The sommelier was brilliantly knowledgeable about the regions and offering amazing choices. I think for me, being on the bar counter and experiencing the team working bc seamlessly together is like watching a symphony. Everything and everyone carefully orchestrated and placed, with the Exec Chef as the Centre piece creating these amazing dishes. Also another highlight was the charcoal grill and everything cooked on it using many different methods of smoking and flaming. The location was easy to find and central to many things around. Will be around again some time. Oh oh another little touch that made us feel appreciated was the Exec Chef little gift at the end of the dining experience. We definitely made it the following morning and was delicious! (No spoilers)

From the moment we stepped into Humo, we were greeted by a welcoming staff whose warmth and hospitality made us feel instantly at home. The genuine care they displayed throughout our experience made it feel as if we were dining at a close friend’s house. We opted for the 4-course menu, which was already enticing, but to our surprise, the chef generously brought out additional dishes on the house. Each plate was a creative masterpiece with its own distinct flavor profile, and the presentation was impeccable. The culinary experience was nothing short of exquisite, with every dish offering a unique and memorable taste. As it was my birthday, the team went the extra mile to make the occasion even more special. They surprised us with an original dessert, complete with a candle, allowing me to make my wish in the most heartwarming way. This thoughtful gesture truly highlighted their attention to detail and dedication to creating unforgettable moments for their guests. Humo doesn’t just serve food; they craft an experience, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone seeking a Michelin-starred adventure with a personal touch.

A wonderful experience in every respect. Exceptional cuisine, featuring high-quality ingredients, evident research, and perfect execution. Truly attentive and polite service, characterised by great kindness, availability, and professionalism from all staff members. The atmosphere is absolutely charming while remaining welcoming and comfortable. Fair and honest bill in line with the quality of the experience offered. We had the opportunity to try it on the occasion of a birthday, and everyone, from the service staff to the chef, maintained special attention to the event throughout the evening. A high-quality experience that retains its most authentic and genuine essence. Thank you for giving us a splendid evening. We will return soon!

HUMO offers an exceptional dining experience with its innovative wood-fired grill concept. The dishes, featuring seasonal British ingredients with subtle Japanese influences, are cooked to perfection, delivering smoky, rich flavors. The service is impeccable knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about the craft. The ambiance is elegant yet inviting, making it perfect for special occasions or indulgent nights out. HUMO is a must-visit for fine dining enthusiasts seeking something unique in London.

The service and atmosphere are excellent, but the food portions are small and overly salty, particularly for those who dont drink alcohol. Overall, the food lacks creativity in terms of the taste. the presentation of the food looks beautiful. While the concept of wood infusion is intriguing, most dishes (aside from the mains) are chopped into tiny pieces and paired with a similar cream-based sauce, resulting in a lack of variety.

It was my birthday and I booked the restaurant as a birthday treat. The food was good but the whole experience was lacking. Me and my partner decided to go for the tasting menu. Most of the dishes you are being served are to share, and they are quite small. So you are not getting an awful lot of food for your money. After just over 2hrs of dining we were told our time was up and we have to pay and leave. The whole service was rather rushed and unexceptional. No attention to detail, just one party in, one out. After my partner complained about this all at the end of the service. I was given a birthday candle, but this felt forced. None of the waiters even asked us if we wanted a digestive or coffee or tea after the meal. Just pay your £500 bill and leave. I suggest you go somewhere else if you are looking for a more unforgettable dining experience. Very disappointed, would not recommend to any of my friends.

Impeccable service - helpful, warm and not overbearing as the stars occasionally tend to do to a place! Beautifully plated, delicious food. We went with the a la carte menu and each of the dishes across the 4 stages were so flavoursome! The cocktails, on the other hand, are underwhelming. Having got feedback, they did not charge me for mine (and changed my partners) but I do think the menu needs a revisit; as also the presentation. Overall, a great experience and will be back!

My wife and I spent Saturday evening celebrating her birthday at Humo. We are in our early 40s. The restaurant came with emphatic recommendations and we were excited to try it. The mood is neo-Japanese with low lighting, dark furnishings and a low rhythmic thump of dance music. It s cosy with a limited number of tables arranged around an open kitchen centred on the fired oven which produces the thematic smokiness of the menu. Starting with the good. The food is really very tasty, with small but imaginative mostly seafood based dishes which mix Japanese and other favours. Highlights include the yellowfish in citrus sauce, the mushroom dish, the lobster and the scallop. The sauces are often creamy with an acidic topping. The food is artistically presented and over the four course we were nicely full. Now for the bad. The service is competent but incredibly cold. The staff seem to have been programmed to regard smiling as a sign of weakness or imbecility. Accordingly they strut around the restaurant with a frown and speak to customers with casual disdain that borders on rudeness. This must be the way that they are trained and presumably they are trying to appeal to the nouveau riche Mayfair crowd who are more interested in how they are perceived rather than enjoying the moment of the evening. It s a pity because this detracts from what would otherwise be a 5 star experience. I m sure the employees are nice people at heart who have an artificial idea of what is cool and therefore appealing to customers. Please try to change this and remember that warmth, smiling and light hearted small talk can go a long way

Pretty spot, novel and enjoyable food - very special. Spotless service. I liked all dishes, frankly enjoyed them, and cocktails were also pretty good. Overall it s a place worth trying once, would not strike me as the place I d go over and over again - perhaps because ultimately I found it a little too formal corporate vibe , somewhat a copy paste of places like Zuma, Hakkasan, Amazonico, Los Mochis and other top of the line cool vibe London. I found it somewhat lacking soul.. said this interesting experience and would surely recommend if you don t mind the classic London top range prices at 30-40 gbp for a small dish in a sentence: good, not mind blowing.

I had an amazing experience at Humo, and it really feels tough to leave a four-star review because the food was spectacular. Everything smoked had this incredible depth of flavor especially the eggplant and scallop, which were absolute standouts. I definitely recommend going a la carte to share a variety of dishes with a partner, as the portions are generous and perfect for sharing. The set menu, while well-curated, felt too pricey compared to ordering individually and didn t showcase the unique smoky twist as well as the a la carte options. While most dishes were a delightful explosion of flavor, a couple of items, like the hamachi and other raw fish, felt more like excellent quality sushi rather than something with that distinctive Humo element. The lamb was very good, but again, it didn t quite deliver the wow factor I found in the scallop or eggplant. The beginner bites were phenomenal a real chef s kiss that set the bar high from the start. The ambiance and service were on point, making the overall experience wonderful. If they refined the menu just a bit more to keep that signature smokiness consistent, it would be a five-star experience!

November 22, 2024

Came here for my boyfriends birthday. Opted for a normal table and a la carte which we were very happy with, and actually glad we didn t choose the bar as this felt much more intimate. The food was incredible, especially the lobster, mushrooms and beef. The ambience and service was also exceptional throughout, with a delightful dessert even provided for the birthday. The only thing that tainted the evening a little was at the very end of the evening. After I asked for the bill, and put my card on top of the bill in front of me, the male waiter came over with the card machine, picked my card up from in front of me and handed the machine straight to my boyfriend. A little disappointing this assumption still happens, especially at such a modern restaurant with otherwise exceptional service. Everything else was so incredible though it wasn t worth dropping a star for.

It s been opened for 2 year. Located in Mayfair, just a 5-minute walk from Oxford Circus and a few streets away from Regent Street, this small restaurant features a modern interior with an open-plan kitchen, wood-paneled walls, and soft lighting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It described an itself as a wood fire concept kitchen with a fusion of Asian- European . We were seated near the bar at the back of the restaurant, with a view of the kitchen. However, the table felt a bit cramped for four people. The main issue was the air vent for the open fire stove, which required a high-flow air system. On a chilly autumn day, this felt like air conditioning, so I d recommend dressing warmly. The food was exceptional from start to finish. The three amuse-bouches were a delightful introduction. The cod carpaccio was outstanding, and the second course, a pea garden dish, was equally excellent light and full of flavor. For mains, the trout was beautifully marinated, and the lamb was among the best I ve ever had perfectly pink and served with a flavorful sauce. Dessert was a creative highlight: fig ice cream with koji and chocolate, both intriguing and delicious. The service was attentive, and the wine selection complemented the meal nicely.

We had an amazing time at Humo! The quality of the food is something I never experienced before. So many different flavours and ways of cooking their ingredients. The smokiness from the different wood they use brings an interesting flavour. We had the mushroom, aubergine, scallops, trout, turbot, lamb but the best one by far was the beef! The service was amazing and staff very knowledgeable about menu and recommendations.

Humo is defo a great restaurant with well-executed food. However, is it worth dining there more than once? no. The staff is welcoming, and every dish we tried was well-prepared, but nothing stood out as exceptional or made me want to go back. The sommelier was particularly impressive, offering insightful recommendations and introducing us to some fantastic wines from regions we hadn t considered. Unfortunately, the desserts fell short of expectations, coming in below average. Overall, its a nice place to try once, but not a spot I d revisit.

Was here for a 3 course small lunch, and came out having eaten the best meal I had all year. Very inventive small courses, with some Japanese influences and the use of firewood smoke to give a subtle but wonderful twist. The interior is modern but warm and inviting. Normally I would deduct a star for the hear it everywhere lounge music that is a little bit disturbing, but the overall quality is so high that I can t.

Good evening! This restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I absolutely love the presentation of the dishes, the creativity behind each plate, the delicious food, the warm atmosphere, and the excellent service. However, I have to mention one thing that made me feel uncomfortable. One of the waiters, every time he came to our table, only looked at the person I was with, completely ignoring me. I m not sure if it was because the person accompanying me was a man, but whatever the reason, I found it disrespectful and it did bother me.

Excellent !! .. we walked in on the off chance for lunch, to be met by the very friendly & accommodating FOH, Natalie. The place is very well designed, being fitted out to a very high standard while retaining a lovely ambiance (no bling, just quality). The counter seating is comfortable and the best for overseeing the action over the embers . Every course was tasty, well executed and paired perfectly with several delicious wines chosen by the expert sommelier, Julia. Did not realize 1* Michelin when walking in, it deserves the star if not 2. (ps. Think lucky to get a seat as quiet outside due to it being bank holiday Friday, best to book in advance)

From the moment you step inside you experience the warmth from the welcome at the door to the focal point of the open wood fire. Miller Prada is an artist I was mesmerised watching him prepare each plate with love , passion and perfection. I feel we had the best seats in the house sat at the breakfast bar in front of the wood fire where every dish is made. We had the tasting menu Miller asked which I like the best I answered it was between the sea bream , the scallop with white peach or the star of the show lamb cooked to perfection he was pleased as that is half the menu. Each course was paired with the most amazing choices of wines which I wouldn t have chosen but worked perfectly with each course showing the professionalism of the sommelier. The show stopping food , exquisitely chosen wines and warm atmosphere is definitely the best restaurant I ve experienced. Enjoy and thank you x

Gorgeous dining experience with passionate chefs in the heated restaurant. This restaurant has an unconventional stove filled with different types of wood. You would feel the warmth radiating from the open kitchen in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant offers a variety of menu selections. We chose the tasting menu over the à la carte option for simplicity on our first visit. The fragrance of different woods emanated from every dish. It was distinct and added so much joy to the overall tasting experience. I particularly enjoyed the Garden Salad. The mix of crunchiness at the beginning and smoothness at the end made this dish feel especially fresh. The service at the restaurant was excellent and not intrusive. For example, they noticed that my partner was not fond of alcohol and made adjustments to the desserts and the concluding drinks. Overall, it is a highly recommendable restaurant and we will return to try other items on the à la carte menu.

Our visit to Humo last night was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by the host, setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable evening. We opted to sit at the counter, where we were fortunate enough to be served by Chef Robbie, the nicest Scotsman you could ever meet. His passion for his craft and engaging personality made our dining experience truly special. We ended up staying at the restaurant until almost 1 am. Humo s concept of four stages of fire is brilliantly executed. We savored two dishes from each stage, including Brill, yellowtail, mushrooms, salad, lobster, turbot, and trout. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing impeccable technique and a deep understanding of flavor. The progression of dishes was perfectly paced, allowing us to fully appreciate the characteristics of each stage of fire. The entire team at Humo, from the sommelier to the waitstaff, was outstanding. Their friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail enhanced our experience. The sommelier s recommendations were spot on, complementing the dishes beautifully and adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Humo is a gem in the heart of the city, offering an unparalleled dining experience. If you re looking for a place that combines innovative cuisine with exceptional service, look no further. We can t wait to return and explore more of what Humo has to offer. Thank you, Chef Robbie and the entire Humo team, for an evening we will always remember!

Second trip to introduce friends to HUMO, after a fantastic recommendation from a friend. Another great experience all around. The sommeliers have been great both times and I appreciated how Simone worked with us to land on a really good wine. Gin s (sp?) service was gracious and added to the overall experience.

They have reduced the portion sizes to such an extent that it is, in effect, a diet restaurant. Youd be lucky to consume 700 calories from the entire set menu. For £600 including wine and service. Avoid. Overrated.

I guess this might be the type of experience that is a hit or miss. We had a booking at 21:15, but unfortunately we had to wait for additional 30min while standing in the corner before being moved to the bar until a table would be freed up. We were offered apologies, but nothing else. For the price, I would expect at least a waiting area (the seats at the bar were already occupied). The food itself is really good, and the staff was very attentive. They recommended one dish per section per person, so we tried to order different options to share. Theres a lot of storytelling about the ingredients, but it seems that the sole purpose is to try to make the dishes sound more special and unique than they actually are. Some of the dishes, such as the yellowtail and the scallop, do not have a unique taste compared to other cheaper restaurants. The cake dessert with ice cream was not good for me, the smoked flavour added to the ice cream combined with the grapefruit did not match. The wagyu beef was good. The highlight of the experience was the cocktails, which were customised by a very friendly bartender. This poor guy was scolded by some other staff member when we accidentally drop a glass that was behind one of the menus that he was handing over to us (even though it was not his fault). I wouldnt go back here, and do not think its good value for money given our bad waiting experience and the unremarkable dishes. Therefore, I have to give a 3-star rating.

Before Christmas I had an incredible lunch at Humo. The experience from the food to the service was exceptional. The staff were extremely attentive (but not overbearing) and went out of their way to ensure I had a 5* experience. The food was delicious (the monkfish was incredible) and head chef Robbie Jameson was a joy to watch, I particularly liked that he took the time to explain each dish to diners and the presentation was amazing. I loved the whole concept and the fact you could witness the innovative cooking methods first hand. It was a really special experience and I wouldn t hesitate to recommend and look forward to returning with friends and clients in the future

We had the lunch set menu at this wood-fired restaurant in Mayfair. One of the standout dishes was the smoked and aged hamachi. The delicate flavor profile was unlike anything Ive experienced before, even as a fan of Japanese cuisine. The aging process elevated the hamachi to new heights, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a subtle, refined taste that was not at all fishy. For the main course, we opted for the lamb and the Wagyu (with a £40 supplement). Both dishes were expertly prepared and delicious in their own right. The lamb, in particular, was cooked to the perfect doneness and paired with a sauce that complemented its flavors beautifully. The Wagyu, served in a Japanese-inspired dashi broth, was also a treat for the taste buds. However, I found that the broth slightly overpowered the delicate taste of the beef and prevented enjoying a proper sear on the meat. Perhaps that s just the way it was intended. Desserts at Humo were a delightful conclusion to our meal. The intricate layers of foam, creams, and crispy elements created a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. The service at Humo was top-notch, with the staff being super attentive and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that my gluten intolerance was taken into account, making me feel well taken care of throughout the meal.

As an experienced connoisseur of Londons dining scene, my visit to Humo left much to be desired. Despite its high-profile promotion, Humo failed to deliver on several fronts. Firstly, the portion sizes were disappointingly small, leaving one still hungry after a meal. While the dishes were competently executed, they lacked the wow factor expected from a restaurant of this caliber. The flavors, though well-balanced, did not rise to the occasion of the establishments reputation. Service was notably subpar, characterized by an icy demeanor that permeated the experience. The staff s coldness was palpable, creating an unwelcoming atmosphere. Disturbingly, the chefs, stationed just a meter away from where I sat at the bar, did not acknowledge the diners, maintaining a disengaged and indifferent presence. In conclusion, Humo did not meet the expectations set by its promotional promises. For those seeking a fulfilling and warm dining experience, it s best to avoid this restaurant.

It was a special evening, it moved us. At the beginning of the evening, we were not satisfied with the seating at the counter too close to the fire and the chefs cooking, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. The Chefs manages to show you up close the passion, dedication, and organization of their work while still giving you a complete sense of privacy and intimacy. The food is special, all the dishes are delicious, with perfect cooking, beautiful presentations, and perfect pairings. But whats even more special is the service, they are very attentive, friendly, and informal, it feels like being among friends. It was the day before my birthday and we hadnt made any requests but the staff prepared an extra dessert for us (with hazelnuts from Langhe, delicious) with a candle to celebrate. Thanks again

I loved the whole experience. The ambience is warm and welcoming: love the grill and how the whole magic of the kitchen happens in front of you at the counter. Even from the tables you are able to experience it all! Service is very polite, attentive yet friendly. I lost track of the number of people working there to make your experience pleasant. Finally the food. What can I say about the food not easy to describe it. I liked it a lot. The whole concept of no electricity I find it very interesting. And the result they get with the taste mixing grill, spices and ingredients is just magic. Probably not for everyone, as I read in the comments, but for me it worked perfectly. Michelin star totally deserved. What the chef does is magic. Another note I liked about the chef is the way he was supervising and assembling every single dish that was going out of the kitchen, to make sure everything was according to standards. I will definitely go back. Special mention to the scallop would have had more, extremely good!

I came here for lunch and went off the a la carte menu. I chose: Trout & caviar / mushroom / crab / turbot. The food was all tasty. The mushroom dish was head and shoulders above the rest (although I was slightly disappointed not to get a morel on my plate whereas my friend got one). Also the trompette mushrooms on my turbot were gritty. For that reason, I gave 4 stars. The service was extremely attentive and slick and I loved the theatre of a chef working in front of a roaring fire.

We were in London just for a weekend and had Humo on my list, the same day I booked, I found out that couple of hours later they got their first Michelin star (Felicidades!) so my expectations were now even higher! We ordered A La Carte to tried more options, they recommended 2 dishes of each section (Ignite, Smoke, Flame, Embers) which was perfect, the individual portions have a great size for sharing between 2 people and the sommelier provided great wine recommendations for each one. The food overall was great, the Monkfish positively surprised me and I want to go back just to have more Scallops! The only one that didn t got me, was the crab. My only disappointment was about details that elevate your experience. I meant, the staff sent you a reminder asking for confirmation and if you are celebrating any special occasion (the usual), but this time they included a special field to add your photo and how you want to be called to welcome you. I completed all the information, including a photo, but on the day, the reception was the same as every other place, asked for your booking information, etc etc .. so I guess I was frustrated that I took the time to add my details and the restaurant didn t use it to make my experience more memorable..

Seasonal menu, hence the excitement to come back each time. My favourite dishes are yellowtail and lamb so far every time it s been totally outstanding!

Recently, my partner and I had the opportunity to experience the chefs table at Abajo by Humo. The evening was impressively organized, and we appreciated the manager introducing the team for the nights dinner service a nice touch that added a personal element to the dining experience. However, when it comes to the food, our feelings were mixed. While there were standout dishes that delighted our taste buds, there were also misses that left us uncertain. Unfortunately, the mixed feelings extended beyond the dining experience, as both my partner and I experienced stomachaches that lingered into the early part of the week. We cant definitively attribute it to the food from the restaurant, but it does raise some concerns about the overall dining experience.

I cannot imagine a more perfect last supper for my time in London. Upon walking in the doors, I was greeted by the most inviting presence that welcomed me to sit at the Chefs counter. This immediate impression was foreshadowing of the service and dining experience that followed. Every detail is considered in such a thoughtful and sophisticated way. I challenge you to find an aspect of the restaurant that isnt beautiful, from the menu to the decor continuing through to the glasses and flatware. Your senses are piqued as you feel the heat from the fire and it sets the food up with a seemingly impossible mission; to hold its own against this back drop. Well the expertly crafted menu does just that. Each course has a bit of fire and surprise. Highlights for me were 1. the Wagyu with a dashi broth and spring onion that packed so much flavor 2. The velvety mushrooms paired with a toasted and crunchy buckwheat 3. The torched banana dessert that I had with coffee infused mezcal to create the most unique flavor blend to end the meal. I need to call out the staff again. They each went above and beyond. My meal was heightened by the chef who walked me through each dish and how fire was used in so many different ways. I connected with one of the sous chefs, Dre, whose NY accent I heard. Being a fellow Northeasterner from the states, i chatted him up a bit as well. Undoubtedly the food was superb AND I received a level of service and hospitality that I wont soon forget. My last supper in London could not have been any more perfect.

Last nights dining experience at Humo was an extraordinary journey in fine cuisine. My wife and I were captivated from the moment we entered, greeted by an ambiance that was as elegant as it was welcoming. The menu was a showcase of culinary innovation, with each dish artfully crafted to offer a symphony of flavors and textures. The chefs signature dish, in particular, was a standout, reflecting the high level of skill and creativity that Humo is renowned for. What made our experience at Humo even more exceptional was the meticulous attention to every detail. The staff were not just attentive but also knowledgeable, providing us with spot-on recommendations and insights into the perfect wine pairings. The ambiance struck a harmonious balance between modern sophistication and relaxed comfort, creating an environment that was both upscale and inviting. However, its worth noting that the portions at Humo are on the smaller side. While some might find this surprising, we found that the quality and richness of the food made each bite thoroughly satisfying and worth it. Its a reminder that great things often come in small packages, and in the case of Humo, each dish is a testament to this adage. In summary, our dinner at Humo was not merely a meal but a celebration of the art of cooking. We left with our palates delighted and our spirits lifted, eagerly anticipating our next visit. For those in search of an exceptional dining experience, Humo is a gem that shines brilliantly in the culinary landscape. The restaurant offers an exquisite testament to quality over quantity, making each dining experience both unique and memorable.

Came for dinner for my wife s birthday. Vibe was decent (Saturday night), service was average - the hostess looking after us looked basically angry at the start, rude and not helpful in explaining the menu, but eventually calmed down when I asked her to take it slow and explain. The food orders are not easy to work out, especially when you have a hostess like we did at the start. We were a party of 4, no one properly explained to us how much we should order! Eventually, we just ordered one of everything and two portions of the prawns, which were very very average and very over-cooked. Anyway, I was expecting some big things given the rave reviews, but food was alright, and not sure I could actually taste or smell the wood fire in any of the dishes. Isn t that the point also? The best bit was the Beef in the main course (the Embers section). We ordered seconds, it was really good. Starters (or the sashimi essentially) were not bad at all, but not mind blowing either. The Prawns in the third section and the Monkfish in the mains, were both below par of what I would expect in a place like this. The service was a let down - restaurant waiters (and our hostess in particular) felt frazzled by what should be a regular Saturday night service for them. Had to ask for wine to be poured, we couldn t actually understand any of the explanations being given at the time of service, our hostess wasn t too pleasant, she got the bill wrong at the end, and there was just too much going on in the place. (Ostensibly they took the bill back to remove the charge for the Milk pudding we didn t like, but the bill came back more than it was before. I had to ask why this was the case and our hostess didn t bother to tell us that they had forgotten to charge us for something and that s the reason she took the bill back!). It s a good place to come with friends & family for wine and drinks and some respectable food; but I wouldn t come here expecting a mind-blowing culinary or service experience. Food is good, but not great. Has a good vibe and cool place to come for a good night out. It is an expensive place in particular given the portion sizes, but I wouldn t expect anything less for its location. But at this price point, I would expect a mostly impeccable dining experience. This isn t.

Dinner at HUMO was an amazing experience and our favorite dinner on a trip to London! All of the food and drinks were delicious - especially the tequila cocktail, salad, crab, and lamb. The portions were generous for a tasting menu and were more than enough food. You can swap out dishes within the tasting menu. I highly recommend booking seats at the counter - it is an experience to watch the kitchen team at work and see the wood fired grill concept come to life. Note it does get hot at the counter seats by the end of the night, so dress appropriately.

Amazing experience! Giacomo is the name of the chef that was at the pass last night, he was great!!! Amazing food and place. Really kind people, the sommelier amazing in the recommendations and temperature of wine served. The italian waitress (can t remember the name) was great! Super kind and focused! Really enjoyable experience at HUMO!

Disappointing, bland food. Service was friendly but it s not great to look at the backsides of waiters in training in front of the pass instead of the dishes being prepared.

We visited here for the Abajo menu along with the wine pairing and had a fantastic time. Watching how each dish is meticulously crafted is such a great experience and really enhances the enjoyment of the food. Giacomo and his chef team are laser focussed throughout the evening, but are also approachable and clearly take great enjoyment from talking you through their menu. Tristan the sommelier was very welcoming and clearly incredibly knowledgeable around the wine flight. I will refrain from posting pictures of the menu or the food but each dish is an amazing exploration of ingredients, pulled together in a way you wont have seen before. Couldnt recommend visiting anymore, having only been around for a short while its a top top dining experience.

The food was a bit mediocre, there are better restaurants in London for this price and creativity. Not the place to come back as for me. unfortunately Food

Simply exceptional. Food, atmosphere and service were all incredible. The head chef even went into the trouble of preparing one of our dishes on 3 separate plates as he realised that our party intended to share it.

Top place for a fine dining meal !!! The service, especially from the chef, was outstanding. Food was top notch. Although minor alterations to specific dishes like the prawn (concept was accurate), could elevate the flavourness to a higher standard. Also a slight increase in quantity would be ideal, especially for younger men :)

Great food, portions a bit small. Great atmosphere. Sommelier thinks a bit too much of himself.

This place is phenomenal. The service of the food was 5 star. Every dish was explained in detail. Every bite of food was eye rolling. Every single member of staff was engaged and superb. Millar you are a superstar! Cannot recommend enough! *****

Ridiculously small portions does not even begin to describe it. Spent 100 pounds for literal air and the flavours disappointing to say the least. Waited over 20 minutes for each dish to arrive and finished each dish in 30 seconds not because it was good but because it was 2 bites each.

The Art of Flavour Huge thanks to the Humo Team on shift during Monday s (11.12.23) lunch service, particularly Faith who greeted us so warmly, Brooklyn & Tristan for their patience in explaining Menu items and dishes, the Sommelier (we didn t catch his name- apologies!) whose passion for wines was truly compelling, the Bar crew for mixing me a bespoke creation, and of course Chefs Robbie, Ricardo, and the rest of the Grill Team for their amazing food. We had Counter Seats, which I would highly recommend in order to be mesmerised by the incredible gastronomic theatre, that nonchalantly takes place before you. The intense care, and superb detail of Chefs using tweezers to extract individual flowers, sauces painted or drop spotted onto plates, salads neatly piled and fish elegantly rolled, was akin to watching artists at play. Everything was slick, the staff were all very engaging, and the Chefs even served some of our dishes, taking a moment to clarify the flavours, before we began to enjoy them. A trip to the restrooms takes you past a glass cabinet that ages fish, which is also worth catching a look

Exceptional cooking, wine and staff. Pretty much every aspect of this restaurant - the room, the interaction, the ambience - is immaculate. And it is friendly, not up itself.

Exquisite ingredients, the quality of the food and service are unlike anything I have ever seen. The combination of Japanese and Colombian influences makes each dish innovative, fun and tasty!

What a wonderful dining experience this was from beginning to end. We were met at the entrance welcome desk by a delightful lady who was a pleasure to talk to and who could not have welcomed us more warmly. We were then given a choice of seats at the counter to choose from and we were seated opposite the famous open flame grill and a ringside view of the open kitchen and the chefs creating their culinary magic. It was an honour and most informative being able to interact and speak with the super talented yet humble Executive Chef Miller Prada and his wonderful team, who were so kind and generous, especially as they were under the pressure of service. The service team were also great, professional and warm and left us wanting for nothing. All that food was delicious and of the highest quality, especially our mains dishes of lamb and Wagyu beef. It was a beautiful touch by Exec. Chef Miller Prada, who noticed that my Girlfriend and I were sharing all our early dishes in order to be able to taste everything, so he kindly split our main dishes into two separate plates without us even asking him.to do so, even though he doubled his workload by having to plate and garnish each half dish separately. Now that is what I call intuitive service and it was so very much appreciated by us both. As we left we were once again given a warm farewell by the hostess at the door. This is without doubt the most memorable dining experience that I have had the pleasure of experiencing for a very long time and I cannot recommend it highly enough, as your highest expectations will still be exceeded.
