| - My grandpa's completely blind so my mom and I decided to try this place out and get a sense of what it's like.
I have to start by saying that our server (Gavin I believe) was great--he was friendly, helped us adjust to the dark, and every time he came to bring our plates to our table he would ask us if we needed anything. BUT my experience here was HORRIBLE and this was mainly due to the long wait. I had a 3-course while my mom had a 2-course and it took us TWO AND A HALF HOURS. This wasn't because we took long eating or anything, it was because our server just rarely ever came to our table. He would only come when delivering food, and the wait in between each course was way too long.
I'll go into more detail about why it was a terrible experience though:
First, there are only 2 reservation times on their website. I couldn't make the 5:45 so it had to be 8:15, which is already pretty late. When we got there, the hostess was so unclear with the instructions. We weren't sure who would be taking our orders, when we would go in, whether we pay before or after, etc. Then, when it was time to go into the dark dining area, our server led us. The place is PITCH DARK. I can't remember ever being in such darkness so at first I felt pretty anxious and uneasy, but I got used to it after a while. While I was ordering outside, I asked the hostess what the sweetest cocktail was and she said Sweet Tart so that's what I got. It was anything but sweet--terribly blended and tasted like pure alcohol. So that was the first thing I received from the server and already pretty disappointed. Next, we got bread and the server helped us feel where the bread basket was so we thought he would leave it at our table for us to enjoy but NOPE, he was just letting us each grab a piece of bread and then he took it away. Then we waited around 30 minutes in the dark for our starters. I had the calamari and my mom had the octopus--both were so hard to eat. By that I mean they were either overcooked or they were sitting out for too long because I couldn't even stick my fork into it... that's how hard it was. Then we seriously waited for around 40 minutes for our mains. I had the chicken and she had the fish: the serving size was big and it was cut up for us. The chicken was really good, with potatoes and artichokes. But by that time, it must've already been almost 10pm and I had lost my appetite so I couldn't finish mine. Then we waited a long time for our dessert--fruit sorbet. It tasted good in the dark but I'm pretty sure if I saw it with lights on, I would say it wasn't worth the money. At the end, I felt puking. Must have been a combination of the time, the dark, and the food.
On top of that, the washrooms are so dirty. Most of the stalls had no toilet paper, they ran out of paper towels, and the garbage cans were overflowing.
So overall, it was a TERRIBLE experience. If you want to try eating in the dark, cook at home and turn the lights out and close the blinds. I would never ever ever go back.
