Comments about this restaurant :

I went for the experience and that was what I got too. We took the main course and dessert. Our choice was fish and meat menu. The fish was ok, but the meet we didn't like it. So I will say better try the fish menu. I was nice surprised by the service. Our waitress was excellent and she really guide us through the whole experience.
The athmosphere was really loudly (I think people try to compensate one lost sense with another) so I definetely not recommend it for a romantic meal.
It will be really nice if the restaurant will think to play a little bit with the taste, like combining salty with sweet...
Overall it was a different experience and I would recomand it to anyone!

Comments about this restaurant :

I went with a family member for Monday dinner. The server (Trevor) was friendly and made it a more pleasurable experience. The food was fun to eat - I chose to do so with my fingers as it was impossible to use a fork and knife effectively. The food wasn't very good, and my foodie Uncle ate little.
The major problem was that the place was so very loud. If we are to rely on our other senses, they should allow us to hear better. Conversation was very hard with people around us, which made it frustrating.

Comments about this restaurant :

We booked for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Although the food was very tasty and nice the portions were quite small, and because the food was almost pre-prepared (they only have 2 kind of set menus)it came very quick, so we barely stayed there 40 mins...
It's a great experience that you must have once in your life, but the prices are quite expensive, so it's not something I would repeat.

Utterly different experience

Comments about this restaurant :

You will never have a dining experience like this or at least you will be hard pressed to find one. Walking through a completely dark room, with no light whatsoever you are led by your waiter who is blind to your table. To be honest, I thought I could cope with the lack of light but for the first few minutes I was mildly panicking inside! However after about 10 minutes you get more used to it and then by dessert I enjoyed the secrecy and intimacy such a setting can bring.
The food was good, not brilliant, the wine was ok and it is somewhat expensive for what you get. However, the experience is unbeatable and leaves you with a lasting impression.

Comments about this restaurant :

A group of friends and I dined in the evening on a Thursday night and were greeted by friendly, professional staff who explained the concept and what we were to expect. The cocktails were greatly executed, and we found the blind waiters to be very helpful and friendly. Service and food was found to be amazing. The food was a sensory delight and gave great subject to humourous notions due to the fact you could not see your hand infront of your face let alone a knife and fork! Brilliant experience! Would recommend to a friend!
