I have gone twice, And be wise whom you take. Grown mature people only… This is an EXPERIENCE not just going to a restaurant to eat out. Definitely not 5 star food.. Yes the food is just ok.. nothing fancy, but it’s not bad. I absolutely enjoyed myself both times I went, Im planning on making another reservation this month for another daughters birthday. It’s is very pricey but if your open minded and like and want to enjoy different experiences you’ll love this. It’s worth the money… don’t listen to them who say it’s not. They probably would rather spend there money on just baseball games and poker.

Such an amazing experience. You eat in complete darkness so if you’re afraid of the dark this isn’t for you. The hostess picks your meals for you which I actually enjoyed.

This was truly a unique experience! Dining in complete darkness can be a daunting experience, and to do it without knowing what your server will be bring to the table… Pretty darn intimidating. But the hostess and our server was fantastic. Friendly, warm and open to discussion about what it’s like to be visually impaired. We loved every minute of it, not to mention the food was fabulous!

I had an amazing experience from start to finish. The host was waiting for us when we arrived and he was friendly and personable as he explained what to expect. Our meal was chosen for us and then we were led into the dark room by our lovely waiter. Finding our food was a little tough at first ( I stuck my finger in butter lol) but once you adjust it’s smooth sailing. The food was excellent definitely worth every penny and the atmosphere plus the exceptional staff make this place a “Top Ten Must Visit” in my book!

This was such an amazing experience. The staff is so kind and patient. Food was fantastic, and not just because your senses are heightened, but actually delicious food. Only downside is that it’s not a true restaurant style, you might end up with one other couple in the same room with you and it can get a little awkward.

Cinno our waitress was amazing! Like all reviews, the food does not match the price. But it’s ok. I suggest having the first sitting. As more people came it changed the experience. Get to know your server….please! The stories are what makes this an experience! Just let go and learn how someone other than you is day to day. Dude note, don’t go in as a large party and be loud. It takes away from the setting for everyone. No kids. Never! Have fun!

I’ve been here twice and the food is OK. It’s not a place that I would recommend for great food. I will say however, it’s a great experience and a fun place to go on a date after you’ve been dating for a while or with a fun group of people. It is definitely a difficult task to eat in the dark. I have a lot of respect for the visually impaired. I will say, the food is a bit pricey for what it is, but you pay for the experience I suppose and it’s not like you go there that often if never again after you go once.

Our waitress wasn’t very conversational with us as she was with the table next to us. Who by the way, was being served by another waiter. He sounded very nice and helpful to the couple beside us. But overall, it was a unique experience and I absolutely loved the food.

Went here for the “Dining in the Dark” experience in the back of Opaque. It was our second time and I am sure we will go again. Really amazing experience being served in complete darkness by legally blind servers. Food is really great as well. Definitely a hot spot to check out again and again!
