What an amazing experience! Dining in pitch black darkness elicits a variety of emotions and sensory responses. We varied from intensely intrique to momentary claustrophobia to complete awe. It's true that your other senses are heightened when one is deprived and we used them all in order to complete a basic human function - eating.
What's most amazing is the opportunity to get a feel for a sliver of the lifestyle of a blind person. We had to be more explicit in our oral communication, slow our actions down, feel around for object placement (how else would you know if you finished your dinner?), etc. We loved that some proceeds benefit a blind foundation and that the concept helps with the 70% unemployment rate in that population.
The food was great. It might be just slightly overpriced but worth it for the experience. We chose to have surprise appetizers and desserts. I'd recommend this option... having to use my senses to identify a dish brought a new dimension to the experience. Comparing our dishes, I preferred the portabella mushroom appetizer, filet mignon main course and the fruit sorbet dessert. I'd also recommend keeping the wine to a 1 glass minimum... remember, you already have some sensory deprivation that you're not used to!
All in all, an incredibly unique and fun experience. Don't hesitate to try this amazing restaurant!
