I went to Dark Table in Vancouver yesterday and have to tell you about it!
This restaurant is a dining experience like no other. Without the sense of sight, the senses of touch, taste, hearing and smell are intensified. After choosing your 3 course meal, your blind server will guide you into the pitch black restaurant to your seat where you will experience what it's like to dine without sight. I was giggling a whole bunch and felt disoriented, but the experience was extraordinary. Consumption aside, sitting with zero visuals and only your other senses taking over is a trip in itself.
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.
I highly recommend trying this.

Words don’t fully capture how beautiful my experience was. I walked in and was very nervous, started shaking early on. Our server, Omid, kindly guided us to our table and I asked to use the washroom. He could tell I was shaking and reassured me and calmed me down so patiently. Omid, thank you so so much. You are such a pure and joyful spirit. Thank you for the beautiful experience, I just want you to know how appreciated you are. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

Second time here. Waiters are always absolute gems. Bobby was our server and made the whole experience that much more memorable. Would recommend everyone try at least once!

Went with my bf at the time, we happened to have back to back birthdays, we were sung to by the staff but it was when the entire restaurant joined that made it amazing and lovely ROSE who after 4 years recognized my voice, and remembered my name and was by far the most amazing waitress ever. She made every detail of the experiences incredible. Food, atmosphere, staff, amazing. Worth the 3hrs of genuine conversation, thinking it had been just an hour. Recommend.

The atmosphere and experience were amazing. The food was not ideal. I hit the lamb ragu pasta and I had like one piece of lamb. I should have gotten the steak or something else. The pasta in itself was super al dente to the point where you couldn’t really taste the sauce. I was al dente pasta all the time if there was more lamb it would have complimented well. But just super al dente pasta by itself is not ideal. The flavours of the food were good. It’s very possible they just made an error with mine because the food reviews are so good. I would come back and order differently. For dessert they brought two options one was a cheesecake and one was like some sort of chocolate brownie cake. The cheesecake amazing the chocolate one was really dry for yes cake itself but it had sauce it melted chocolate on some areas so with that it was good but the batter itself was like ocercooked a bit and dry. Great service wonderful atmosphere.

Only downside is the cost. The service was lovely and the experience was enjoyable. Definitely odd, but in the best of ways.
Great service! Food is good and the experience is unique. You are forced to focus on all your other senses and on the person who are with you at the moment, or you will fall asleep in the dark.

I came here for my birthday yesterday with six of my friends and we had a great time. Joe was our server and he was pretty funny. I got a three course meal and ordered the Local Chicken as my main, though I found it to be somewhat disappointing in flavour, I tried a bite of my friends Lamb Ragu and it was much better, if I come back I’ll definitely order that next time. By the time dessert came around I was pretty full and could not finish it. It was a great experience and I’d love to come back again sometime.
For three courses, a mocktail piña colada, the +$3 for the local chicken, and tip I ended up paying $72. The bills have to be paid all on one card and then you can figure out how to transfer between your table later.
Dietary restrictions: One of our friends was allergic to nuts and they were able to accommodate all the courses for her.
Loved the experience! Service was amazing! Will definitely go again.
