★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place has been on my to try list for the longest time. We were guided in by Odin - our visually impaired server. He was friendly and the service was great. We were also pleasantly surprised by how much our senses were heightened. The first 30 minutes to an hour was definitely fun & intriguing. It really felt like an intimate experience. However, it was such a busy night and we ended up waiting for a couple hours for our mains to arrive. That definitely takes away from the experience as it is difficult not having any distractions in the dark while waiting hours for our food to arrive. Another thing that we found annoying are the inconsiderate customers around us. People were loud and inconsiderate, we found that particularly annoying. Lastly, the food were decent, but we were definitely paying more for the experience than anything. I think it is a fun thing to do with dates/friends/ or family but once is def enough!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was an awesome experience! Our first time there and we liked it. The server was really helpful, the funny experience of eating 100% in the dark was hard for me at first but I reached a comfortable level after a few minutes later. The food was on point and the atmosphere too. Great experience! We will come back again!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best experience ever! The staff were so friendly and kind, the food was delicious and the experience was unforgettable. I’ve been talking about it with everyone I’ve met because it was just unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. You literally could not see a single thing. It’s an exercise for empathy towards the vision impaired and an experience for your mind considering all my other senses were heightened. The food tasted better and more vivid because of my lack of sight. It really made me think about what was in my food and I was surprised to realize how much I rely on my sight to know what I’m eating hahaha. Overall it was one of the best experiences I have ever had and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Overall service (hosts and servers) and the first hour of experience were amazing. But after waited 35 minutes to get into the restaurant (reservation was at 8:30 pm and we got to our table around 9:05pm), it was still great experiencing the dining experience in the darkness for the first hour. But after waiting for our main dishes for another over one hour and 30 minutes, I felt uncomfortable and tired. I can’t blame because all servers are blind but one of the servers poured all ice cold water over my back. I’m happy it was just water I don’t want to imagine if it was wine or hot drinks. When we were done with our dessert which also took about 30 minutes to arrive after we finished our main, we had to again wait for 20 to 30 minutes to pay and leave. So we got to the restaurant at 8:30 pm and when we came out of the restaurant it was 11:30 pm. The food and drinks (appetizers, main, munchies and desserts) was all really disappointing as I was hoping as we can’t see we would really focus on our tasting part of this experience. But there were nothing to discover. I felt sad to get disappointed because it was my husband’s birthday. Not that it’s important but the servers all sang birthday song for the other guests except my husband too that night even though all host and servers knew it was his birthday and host confirmed that they will sing a song for him. Overall, I would still recommend friends to try once but only once in life.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cool experience! I ordered the surprise everything. I got a coleslaw for the appetizer, cottage pie for the main, and black forest cake for dessert. Everything was tasty. My one suggestion is I wish the cuisine was a little more out of the box and creative, since it would be cool to explore more unique foods without being able to see. But the food was good quality and our server was fantastic (thanks Joe!)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great experience! Our server Joe was extremely funny and friendly. The room is completely dark but with some guidance and direction eating is possible, just wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty from spilling on yourself. Had the surprise cocktail, meal, and dessert and loved every bit of it. Plus it was my birthday and the surprise they gave me was wonderful

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A fun experience, I really didn’t think it would be super dark, however it made the experience that much more enjoyable. I loved how they asked to put your phone away, that really expanded the experience due to no light nor any distractions. Ones spatial awareness peaks, also ones hearing. I enjoyed our waiter and his expertise in guiding us to and from our table and to the washroom. A romantic experience as well as you truly focus on everything around you.
The food was so delicious, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
