| - Just wow! This truly is an experience!
This is not just a restaurant, it truly is an array of feelings you aren't accustomed to.
As you walk in it's a modern, clean front area. Very friendly staff welcome you and give a quick intro to the concept. Then they have you sign a waiver, put away your things in a locker, pick type of flavor: savory, sweet or spicy (the only thing you get to know about your menu). This is also when you tell them if you have any allergies or food aversions. My brother and I are vegan, they were very accommodating and assured us they would not put anything non-vegan in front of us. They said since this is dining in the dark, they take food preparation very seriously and don't cross-contaminate anything, which put me at ease.
Now, we were escorted into the restaurant, in a "train" form, with hands on each others shoulders led by the server. It is a surreal experience, it's completely dark (close your eyes, like that!) and all you can sense is smells and noise from tables around you. Felt like being in a haunted house. As we were seated at a table, the servers gave us more directions as far as how the food will be served. After a while memory kicks into gear and you are able to find your way around your dining space. I was drinking my water and cocktail no problem. Feeling my way slowly not to accidentally knock anything down.
The food! I have never felt this much thrill while eating in my entire life! Each bite is a complete mystery, you race through the food trying to experience it and discuss it with your dining buddies. There was an item with a fresh strawberry that I and my husband recognized right away, however my brother just could not guess what it was until we told him! This experience truly makes you focus on the food and enjoy it to its full extent! There were 6 courses of small size, and by the time you get to dessert you are well stuffed, but the dessert was absolutely perfect ending to the dinner! Whatever that chocolaty goodness was, was amazing and worth another trip to there just for that!
I cannot wait to return and bring more friends! I have been talking about this place to everyone who will listen!
Seriously, thank you Blackout for the wonderful experience, your staff, food and concept was unforgettable!
If you have read through my novel this far, you must go! It's like skydiving, everyone should try it at least once!
