   So different from blackout on in Las Vegas. This experience did not compare with Blackout in Las Vegas. The smell when you first walk in to opaque is not good. The service is subpar. If you ever get a chance to experience a night of dining in the dark, go to Vegas. Don’t waste your time at this shabby establishment. The food is not good, the service is something to be desired and you’d be better off traveling to Vegas for a wonderful experience and absolute good good. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

   Try the pinot noir. And the food is good, but not extraordinary as the price would suggest. Is weird that you don't know how much food you got since you cant see it

   Overall it was a great experience. I wish that there was more time to settle in before heading back to the table. It also felt a little out of place in the venue. Maybe after hours it’s a club? There was a DJ setting up when we got there. The staff was really great, friendly, and helpful. My old fashioned was $15... seemed like a lot considering you’re paying $100 a head for the meal already. Everything leading up to the main course was pretty tasty. My chicken was super dry so that was a bummer since I told them they could surprise me on the protein. I may suggest ordering before going in? They paced the partions out well and our server was really helpful and friendly. He was very patient with us adjusting to the room. Inside the room there were a lot of loud people who I believe were trying to overcompensate for not being able to see their party. The two guys next to us were super loud, drunk, and inappropriate. Not that that’s on the restaurant, but you hope when you’re paying that much for an experience that people be responsible and take it seriously. One of the guys actually said something about whipping out his d**k because nobody would see. WTF? One of the servers did finally ask the room to be considerate, but it was really hard for us to talk and hear each other because of outside conversation.

   Always a good experience but the table next to us was way to loud and they had their phones out using them for "light" when it should've been put away! #NoLightsPeriod I think the tables are a little to close now... table next to me spilled their water and it splashed on my foot 🤦🏾‍♀️.. that was kind of gross especially being in the dark 🥺😱

   Took a friend here for his birthday. I like the concept of this restaurant and I love the ideology behind it and the community it supports. Takes you out of your element and thrusts you into the world of the visually impaired. Senses are heightened, the experience is surreal, and you leave with a great meal and a bit of enlightenment on how the sightless thrive without the use of vision. Definitely recommend. Our waiter, Rafael, was charming.

   Something entirely different in the arena of dining and ambience.

    Overpriced but fun. Ugly nightclub decor in the waiting area. They kick you out right after desert. No time to talk.
