"This is quite a dining experience. Don't expect a normal dinner!! We enjoyed every moment. The service is outstanding & food so tasty--lots of small portions but all presented in unique ways. Don't shy away from the outside appearance as inside is the wonderful smell of a wood-fired oven & warm, cozy atmosphere. Definitely loved our dinner"

after having been fan of ryan crawford for a few years, I will step myself because I don't get into his restaurant earlier. we waited with joy for the opening of the back home and we were not disappointed. we decided to start on the 3 curs tasting menu with about two appetizers. no judgment, please! the poutine, because the chicken pig can give up, house made curd and crispy chicken skin and the house made burrata with tomaten purée .dear lord! then on the tasting menu....beef tartar as amuse bouche- the dry aged bark not disappointed! radishe supper served along the side 2 different house made sour teig brot, a carrot dish 3 away with house made pancetta was for me the highlight of the meal...

Go too Backhouse. You will at first be confounded by the blacked out, out of business exterior butted up to a 7-11, but you will be rewarded with a visual feast the second you find the right door to open, and then a memorably ambitious culinary experience.leeland, our server, provided the professional tour throughout the evening, as we enjoyed the chef counter show as the owner and his minions moved through the courses in a showy yet unpretentious demonstration of haute cuisine preparation.having done the chef counters at hip joints in bigger cities, and been thoroughly disappointed, i was surprised to the upside by the enjoyment of watching the staff prepare our tasting courses.definitely g...

Enjoyed a great dinner w/ friends..would have missed it, if not for friend who knows the area...in a strip mall, a short drive away from the town, with windows that are blacked out so that it looks like it is closed. Once inside, it is a cool/casual "repurposed" decor and it smelled amazing due to the wood firing technique. Not a big menu, but most of us agreed it was delicious. One friend ordered fish that was not cooked to her liking...waiter said it is the technique that makes it look raw. Hmm? She did not enjoy it. It would have been fun to do the tasting menu, but we were not hungry enough as a group. It was a little challenging for one friend who has Ciliac and must eat gluten-free...m...

we had a fabulous experience in the other night. we chose the signature tasting menu, the dinner lasted 2 hours and was full of fun culinary adventures. there was no court we didn't like. the dive was amazing. the cocktails were also delicious. we recommend to sit at the bar the experience cooking and distributing all the tasty as they call them. we will see the menu for seasonal change. this is a very special place. we go back!
