About Dark Table

Dark Table offers a unique dining experience in complete darkness. Guests can enjoy a wide range of menu options, including steak, which is sometimes pre-cut for convenience. Servers provide excellent service, with some famously escorting guests to the bathroom. While the experience can be challenging, it's definitely worth trying, even if it's not for everyone. The restaurant's unique atmosphere and attentive staff make it a great spot for special occasions and a unique experience to share with family and friends.

The dining concept originated in Switzerland by a blind man, Jorge Spielmann, who blindfolded his guests in an attempt to show them what eating is like for a blind person. Without the sense of sight, the senses of touch, taste, hearing and smell are intensified, providing a truly extraordinary experience.

Customers have described the experience as "a trip in itself," with one guest feeling "disoriented but the experience was extraordinary." Another guest, who was initially nervous, was calmed down by the server's kind and patient assistance. Guests have also praised the delicious food and the hilarious, friendly servers who made the experience even more enjoyable.
