    Tollington's is one of the only places I have any desire to leave a review for. It is incredible. First and foremost outstanding service from every member of the team to impeccable dishes served precisely on time. I cannot recommend the scallop and potatoes bravas enough, and don't get me started on everything else. 11/10

    It’s not often that I am silenced, but everything about Behind managed it. It’s not because I don’t want to shout from the rooftop about how amazing this place is, it’s because I am not sure that I could ever be articulate enough to accurately convey the sheer genius that this restaurant exudes. It is a small restaurant where every seat has the best view in the house. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed as if you are in their home. Before we get in to the food, let’s talk about the staff. They are the chefs, wait staff and pot washers - some of them I would go as far as saying they are also the comedian as well. They were so lovely to speak to, they were as interested in us as we were in them, they were incredibly knowledgeable, humble but in all honesty, I would have happily taken them to the pub afterwards and probably had a fabulous night. Now to the food (as that’s realistically what you all want to know). It is quite simply outstanding. It challenges you in a fresh and exciting way. It matches flavours that shouldn’t work and manages to extract flavour more pure than you ever thought possible in every single dish. Value for money - absolutely (even the matching wines is worth it!). Will I go back again - try and stop me! I don’t live in London but I will happily increase my travel to London just so I can go. This restaurant has found a way to test your senses and knowledge of fish that makes you appreciate it more than ever. Please try out this restaurant - there are many things we regret in life but eating here is never going to be one of them!
