The Man Behind the Curtain in Leeds

On the whole, most of the dishes are too salty to me. It is really hard to say the food is very good. The plus side is the fancy plating. The stuff reminds me of the French lol

First off, and surprisingly given the nature of the food, it was an utterly unpretentious experience. No stony faced waiters, no cold formal ambience, just a genuinely relaxed evening with warm and friendly staff. The kind of place (if not for the smart dress code) which makes you feel you could pop in for a quick bite to eat in your comfies!We went for the permanent collection with the prestige drinks pairing. I hadn't looked at the menu ahead of time so every time the table was reset for the next course, I was excited to see what I was going to get. And I wasn't disappointed. The food and presentation was delicious and just a whole lot of fun. My particular favourite was the pate and caviar!OK, it isn't cheap, but think of it as paying for an experience where the food is just included. We were there for about 3.5 hours in total and enjoyed every second. We were told they're due to launch a new menu, so I have no doubt we'll be back!

Last night was our 1st visit to Man Behind the Curtain (Feb 17th). It was the most amazing experience from start to finish. Not pretentious or intimidating at all with very welcoming staff.The real star of the show is the food. We enjoyed each of the dishes and can't decide which was best, for me personally it was the Tuna Nigri and Hand rolls - amazing.I'd highly reccomend it to anyone- an azimg experience!

We've been wanting to come here for a couple of years and it certainly didn't disappoint. Yes; it's very expensive, the drinks menu is quite limited, but the food was like nothing we've ever eaten before. All of the dishes we're very imaginative, crazy, quirky, but most importantly delicious. We had the matched juice for each course which were equally surprising but all very tasty. The chefs clearly take pride in what they've created. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Some of the best food I've eaten in my life. Had a wonderful experience. Wish the cocktail menu was a bit more extensive as if you don't like gin, whiskey and vermouth it's rather limited. Wine list good though so made up for it :). Would definitely recommend. The 'emancipation' dish is just beautiful.

How many different ways can you say wow?! What an experience. Definitely worth a visit, although due to the prices not somewhere you can visit too often, unless you're rolling in money! That being said for a special occasion treat it's well worth the expenditure. Each course delighted us just as much or more than the one before it. The staff were amazing, so attentive and friendly. I can't pick any faults not even a small one. The restaurant itself is trendy and opulent. Even the toilets are decadent. What a way to spend my birthday.

Wow. Without doubt one of the most visually pleasing and visually perfect Michelin meals we’ve experienced. The menu itself is very clever. Particular highlights included ‘Emancipation’, ‘Black Caesar’ and the incredible ‘Ajo Blanco’ . At times some of the dishes looked better than they tasted, which would be my only minor critique, on this otherwise very solid 1star. Bravo Mr O’Hare 👏🏼

What a place to eat, don’t go expecting meat and two veg, it’s all about the flavours here. 14 courses of surprises served by young knowledgeable staff straight out of a Robert Palmer video. It’s not somewhere you would go every week (£500 with drinks) but it’s somewhere you should try at least once in your life

A very special restaurant experience for my birthday celebrations. Had been hard to get a table and we felt fortunate to have a Friday lunchtime booking confirmed.We knew this would be special...But wow! The decor, service and experience were unlike any other. And we've been fortunate enough to enjoy one and two star restaurantsStunning dishes with a mostly monochrome colour scheme. Plating and presentation was out of this worldThank you to the whole team for a fantastic lunch and one heck of an experience 🤘

What can I say.Superb superb, superb.Loved every second of it and it truly was like being part of an experience, not just a meal.One piece of feedback to the servers- we need to be able to HEAR what you are saying so if you have a strong accent then slow it down. More exciting if we know what we are eating.Truly excellent server tall chap, ginger/blond hair, slim and stubble. His introductions were AWESOME.Food blew us away. Amazing combinations, mind blowing flavours.Few months and we'll look for the new menu.
