| - I am only giving O Noir a 4 based on the food (which I would rate a 3), however, I do think that it's an experience that everyone should try! (If you don't know yet, it's pitch black!)
It may seem dark when you walk in- you'll find out why soon! You order drinks outside in the "lobby" area, and the waiters bring you into a a pitch black room.
My eyes didn't calm down the whole time I was there, I saw flashes of light and weird optical illusions. It's unbelievably weird not to see anything. I almost panicked at one point, but didn't. You hear more than you normally would- some tables would start to get loud and you'd find that you'd be matching their volume.
The waiters were great. I loved the "intro" they did, where they showed you where to find everything and touch to the right and left of your plate, etc. It was very helpful and reassuring for later.
The food was mediocre. I had an appetizer and main, and some members of my party had a main and dessert. There was nothing wrong with the food, but it was relatively bland. You don't go for the food. The experience is worth it. If I ate the food for that price anywhere else, I would be very disappointed, however, do it once, with a group, for the sake of going.
(When you come out, the "dark" room is so bright that it hurts your eyes! (You need to get adjusted before you can exit the restaurant!)
Really awesome waiters, though.
And make reservations!
