You eat with your eyes, sure, but what happens when your meal is shrouded by darkness? That’s the scene at Blackout Dining in the Dark, a restaurant experience where you have to rely on your sense of smell and taste to know exactly what you’re eating. Therefore, the menu is kind of a secret, for if you knew what was being served, the experience wouldn’t be as fun.
Although walking into the pitch-black dining room is initially jarring, if you enter with an open mind and trust your waitstaff, the darkness will quickly slip away and you’ll focus on what’s more important: communion. Since the room must stay dark at all times, any items that emit light are prohibited. So, sorry—no cell phones allowed. But now you’ll have time (and no other choice, really) to converse with your dining companions, sharing an experience that cannot be Instagrammed.
