| - I had heard of Dark Dining and really wanted to give it a try. When I saw the Living Social deal for it, I immediately purchased it. I knew one of my friends would want to be my date!
My friend Holly and I went together and it was a very interesting experience. It was at Mood Restaurant at the Artisan. I love the Artisan! It's such an awesome place. I had been to the hotel and lounge several times, but never to Mood. I was excited!
So, Dining in the Dark is dining with a blindfold on. It's quite an experience, to say the least. I didn't know what to expect, since I've never done anything like this before. We put our blindfolds on and I felt claustrophobic for the first 10 minutes. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the whole meal. We had two great ladies sit with us, so we had a great conversation with them through the whole meal. That helped ease my nerves. As time went on and courses came out, I got more comfortable and really enjoyed the experience.
I found that using utensils while eating blindfolded, was very difficult. I hate to admit this, but I used my hands for most of the courses. Classy, I know. Luckily most of the items weren't too messy. I would review each item, but honestly, I wouldn't want to ruin the experience for anyone else who might want to try this amazing dinner. The whole point is you should guess what you're eating, without being able to look at the item. That was definitely the best part of the whole experience. Also, there's unlimited wine included!
Every course of this meal was delicious. I highly recommend this and I would definitely consider doing it again. The only negative was that everyone gets VERY loud during the meal. Something about you not being able to gauge how far people are from you. I don't know, but all in all, it was fun!
