You are served by visually impaired persons. The food was delicious and enough to fill you up. I highly recommend this place. ?

I was so confused that I had to ask and confirm whether this was the appetizer or a complementary starter. It was indeed the appetizer...After that we experienced extremely slow and disappointing service, as we were told main dishes are coming soon , however we were made to wait over 30 minutes without a doubt. We were hungry and it felt like they had forgotten us for a long time.At the end we couldn 't even have our dessert in peace without them reminding us that they are closing and we are the last customer. Well, maybe if you haven 't forgotten about us, and made us go hungry, then we would be having our dessert earlier?The description says the whole experience lasts 90 minutes. We had gone inside at 8:30pm and we got out at 11pm. That 's 2.5 hours. That 's when we realized the feeling of having waited 40 minutes after appetizers was no imagination at all.If you are going to make us wait that long, at least provide us with a real appetizer to satisfy us? And not a sample size of baguette, ham, and tomato slice, which wouldn 't even feed a rat.Is this worth the $150 I paid? For the service, it 's unacceptable and the only reason I didn 't say anything was to keep it a memorable experience. But I was definitely not happy as I wanted the experience to be way better for us.The positives:The unique dark atmosphere and unique experience of eating in the dark. That is it. Overall a one time thing, which COULD have been a returning experience instead if the negatives hadn 't overshadowed the positives so much.

Unique experience. Amazing food and service. Exceeded my expectations.Dietary restrictions: Gluten sensitivity accommodated no problem. read more Unique experience. Amazing food and service. Exceeded my expectations.Dietary restrictions: Gluten sensitivity accommodated no problem.

What drew me to this restaurant was the opportunity to immerse myself in the world of visually impaired individuals. The food was delicious, but it was a unique challenge to locate and identify it without the sense of sight. This heightened my other senses and made the dining experience truly memorable. I especially enjoyed the surprise of not knowing what I was eating for the starter and dessert until it touched my palate, and then trying to decipher all the flavors. Our server, Yuko, who is blind herself, was exceptional – so delicate and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, as it offers a perspective that everyone should experience at least once. My respect for visually impaired individuals has grown immensely after this dining experience. ???
