| - Finally found time to go here! First of all, I was very surprised to find out there are only 2 sittings per night (for Saturday it was 5:45 and 8:30, may be different on other evenings) and they book up fast, so get your reservations in an advance. Once you see how the whole set up works, it makes sense why they don't have people coming and going throughout the night.
Our food was very good, of course you're going for the experience and not the food, but based on others' reviews I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed our meal. The appetizer came out right away, but the time between apps and mains was quite long - hard to tell how long, being in the dark! Expect to sit for 2+ hours, especially if you order a bottle of wine, as the glasses are filled for you, and you'll need to wait for the waiter to come back around to ask for the fill.
Another tip - food is pre-cut! Don't be afraid to order the steak, it comes in bite sized pieces. Same with the veggie dishes.
The experience - don't want to give away too much but it truly is an experience where you can't see your hand in front of your face. You have no idea how big the room is, how many people are in it, and if your waiter is standing next to you or not. It's cute to hear the people around you - everyone tends to giggle and whisper like a 10 year old's sleepover party after your parents warn you to go to bed. I'd love to go back with a group and see how that dynamic is. You use your hands A LOT. Wash them before you go in - you'll be grasping at your plate quite a bit, especially when they bring the bread rolls. You will get messy - take this opportunity to chew and speak with your mouth full, no one will be the wiser :)
I'll definitely be back with unsuspecting victims, I mean, other friends.
