    It was one of the best meals I had in a while, and it was really memorable; from the delicious food to how was presented and the care and artistry devoted to each ingredient on the plate. The wines beautifully paired each dish and the whole vibe of friends around a table sharing morsels of fish heaven. As they say the “devil is in the details” and oh boy! the details… the sauces… the smoky beurre Blanc, one of the best chicken jus (yes, chicken, but elevating the fish) I’ve tasted, the firmness of the cured fish, the perfectly balanced acidity…. I loved it and I shall be back.

    What an amazing experience. 8 savoury plates and 2 sweet ones that were all fabulous with the chefs coming round explaining the food each time. They obviously love what they are doing and it shines through. Liked the curved seating area where you could see what was going on in the kitchen.

    The food is very fresh and well presented. It is nice to see what chefs do behind the curtains as the kitchen is open and in front of the table. The 6 course meal is delicious and light

    How have we only just found this place? Live round the corner and eat out a lot but Behind slipped under the radar. It’s ace. This is serious food. Super tasty, Interesting & unusual but never falling into silliness. Lovely atmosphere and service in a pretty unremarkable building. Extra point for the shipping forecast in the loo! Excellent lunch
