Dining at Chef Behind The Curtain feels like you're being served world-class cuisine in your best friends' dining room.Chef Joel's food is focused and creative, and he demonstrates a level of technique that is on par with (if not exceeds) the top restaurants in the greater Seattle area. Their hospitality is warm, personable, and makes you want to "rent a table" and stay for hours. Joel and his partner Katie , who runs the front of house, strive to source most of their ingredients from within a 100-mile radius of Snohomish, so the menu is hyper-seasonal and showcases Northwest produce. I've been craving his artichoke and white truffle soup for the last three days. I attended with a large group, so I was able to taste multiple dishes from each course. You really can't go wrong with any of the items on this pre fixe menu. Also, Joel's desserts are showstoppers, even if you typically steer away from the sweets.This place is a gem, and I'm very excited to watch them grow. Make a reservation; the space is intimate!

We had a blast! Went with 2 other couples and it was such a fun and exciting experience. The food and wine were absolutely delicious! Super excited to do it again! Great job Joel and Bex! You two are wonderful!

I had heard wonderful things about "The Chef behind the curtain" and he did not disapoint. The meals were delicious and beautifully prepared and presented. The service was good too.

Rustic, charming, great food, friendly staff. Very cozy. We have been here twice and looking forward to more. We love that they do not dicriminate (poked or unpoked). Highly recommend this place.

This was an intimate, warm and amazing experience ! The food was deliciously prepared and beautifully displayed. Joel and Bex have designed an exclusive Snohomish ambiance with wine pairing to complement the unique food match. A must when planning a special night out ! Can't wait to see what Joel prepares next !
Amazing food, thoughtful menus, and innovative desserts. Everything is delicious and unique. It’s our favorite date night spot. Fantastic hidden gem. Would recommend for both date nights and large party events. Staff is always lovely and friendly.

Fantastic is the best way to describe our dinner. 10 of us had the best experience with 5 star food and service. We will be back with more friends.

This newer restaurant in charming Snohomish (city) will soon be a favorite in Snohomish (county), so get in there now before it gets even more difficult to get one of the 6 or so tables. With a prix fixe menu, the Chef behind the Curtain focuses on doing a few dishes perfectly on a menu that changes to accommodate whatever is freshly available.My wife and my meals last night consisted of the best clams and salmon we have ever tasted as well as an amazing beef tenderloin. Each meal was a subtle showpiece of mastery of technique. The clams in the pasta appetizer had a nuttiness and firmness I've never had before, but will be seeking out again. The salmon was cooked in a puff pastry and somehow the pastry and delicate fish were both perfectly cooked.Portion sizes were perfect (much smaller than the American standard), which I believe helps you enjoy every last bit. You'll leave full, but still able to enjoy a cocktail nightcap nearby.I do have one small complaint. I hated the fork I was given. It was too thin and rounded and the curvature made it impossible to apply any sideways pressure as it would just rotate in your had. We had a good laugh about it and we will definitely be back. I might bring my own fork though.
