| - What a great experience! Most others got the description of the experience down - let into a solid black room yada yada...the initial feeling was very scary as if any moment I would trip or fall off an edge or bump into a table. I asked for the bathroom before seating so we were led there but then felt abandoned for a few minutes before our server came back to bring us to our table. I have no idea what the layout of the restaurant is and I'd be very curious to see how they did that. Hearing the voices around me echoing around as if we were in an arena made me think that this place is actually quite vast, but who knows.
Conversation was interesting, I felt more relaxed just to participate in a conversation since my eyes didn't have to do any work. I could sit in a relaxed state and not worry about things like eye contact or proper posture.
The server showed up seldomly, just to bring us our next course. When bringing waters, she spilled a little on me, at least it's just water.
I tried to put a little bit of butter on my bread, but it turns out that I spread an entire container of butter, which I never do.
The Surprise appetizer was great - when I first tasted it, I thought it was garlic beef cubes, then on closer examination of the texture, I felt that maybe they were clam meat...turned out they were escargot. Not bad!
The veal, served with spicy potatoes, and brocolli and peppers was average, but then again, how would you be able to truly judge the enhanced feeling of dining blind if you were biased with exceptional food?
The mystery dessert was Tiramisu - I thought the caramel was too heavy but the texture and the flavour of the cake was nice. Feeling around was hard with the appetizer and the main that I ended up resorting to using my hands.
Great experience and I would definitely do it again. I recommend going all in on the surprises, but I should remember my list of ingredients I don't like so I don't risk anything in the future.
