Love the concept of this restaurant. It was an incredible experience to eat an entire meal in complete darkness. Really highlighted how visual my world is.... from seeing where my food is on the plate to the visual cues I use from facial expressions of my dinner companions.
Unfortunately the taste experience of the meal had a lot to be desired.
I chose a three course meal of which each dish would be a surprise. All I knew was that I would have a seafood appetizer, a meat main and a dessert.
The appetizer was calamari in French salad dressing with a few pieces of spinach. Not a flavour combination that was very appealing. There was way too much dressing.
The main was better.... tender and moist prime rib served with green beans and mashed potatoes. The meat was flavourful. The veggies ok.
Dessert as a very plain cheesecake. Edible nothing more.
While I understand the practical realities of plastic glassware... drinking out of a plastic tumbler took away from the sensory experience of the meal.
Our server was lovely with an upbeat, friendly style. He handled the unique scenario of serving us in complete darkness very smoothly.
Overall a fun night to try something so different.
Would likely not go again due to the food.
