First off, everyone needs to understand (and the greeters do NOT explain this at all) is that \"eating in the dark\" - means eating in the pitch black - no light of any kind, you can't see you nose in front of you. There is no option to even have a small candle should you feel uneasy or uncomfortable or want to see what you are being served - and that is a big part of the problem with this place. Understand this completely before you walk in the door.\n\nWe ended up offering our apologies and leaving for two reasons. First, we were just not comfortable with the absolute darkness. Much of the experience of eating good food is being able to see it and we both got the sense that everything around us, on our table and served to us, was cheap. The calamari I ordered as an appetizer was not cooked, which I considered very unusual. The drink I ordered didn't seem to have anything in it. \n\nBut the last straw was when my fianc\u00E9 received her \"surprise\" appetizer - which turned out to be a very bad smelling steak tartar(?) While they ask you if you have any food allergies, I believe it reasonable to expect that your food will be cooked and you will not be served raw uncooked meat with a raw uncooked egg as a \"surprise.\" That was it for us, and we politely asked to leave and did.\n\nService was \"ok\" - but there were comments our waiter made that bordered on rude.\n\nThis pretty much ruined what should have a nice dinner out and we tried another place and recovered the evening nicely there - at a place where we could see what we were buying and eating and could enjoy a dining experience. This place, just does not offer this - certainly not at the prices they ask."^^ . . "0"^^ . .
