It makes for a great experience and a great date. It's great if you deal with social anxiety. It was filling and tasted great but it was overpriced for vegetarian. That being said I'm still down to go back. The staff was super polite and attentive. Overall it was a great experience. Try it!
This was truly immersive experience to where to you can't see your own hand in front of your face. The noise level you would think is quiet, however with all of your other senses expanded during the dinner you learn to tune out all of the conversations around you when your server is talking. The food was ABSOLUTELY amazing. The only thing I wish they would've done is told me at the beginning you shouldn't finish every dish of the 7+ course dinner. I got topped off full by course 4 when I could've just eaten a little bit of everything! Like I said the food was quite amazing, and trying to taste every element to determine what it is was an amazing experience. Foods that with fool you over and over again. You find out at the end of the night and trust me you'll be blown away. I would highly recommend doing this. Best date night we've had in a while. The servers are so funny and inviting, the ambiance is relaxing and uplifting, and the food is remarkably tasty. We will go again.
$300 including tip and deposit that dose not go towards the bill for two people (each had one cocktail). The first thing you should know is this restaurant is completely vegan and the restaurant keeps this fact a secret from you till the end. The menu is prefixed and they don't tell you what you are eating. The dining room is completely black so you have no visual of what you are eating. 4/7 of the dishes we ate tasted good 1/7 of the dishes we ate tasted amazing 2/7 of the dishes we ate where not ediable Both my guest and I are stuck in bed with severe stomach pain as well other unpleasant symptoms caused by eating at this restaurant. We missed an event we had tickets too become we are incapable of leaving our hotel room. The experience of the pitch black room is an amazing concept but at this point it feels more like a trick than an experience. If you have to trick your guest into eating your food I suggest trying a new menu.

I don't write a lot of reviews... but this one is very much needed. The actual experience of dining in pitch black was AMAZING. Fantastic concept and really good execution. You focus on the senses (besides sight) for the food and the company. It was so unique. The food on the other hand? Not good. Please, please fix the menu. They make one mention of “plant-based” menu on their site. We missed that part. So we were surprised by a “vegan” menu. It was not great. First course and last was good. The rest were bland, veggie-heavy, small portion foods. If they JUST had anything involving yummy pasta, or asian, or Mexican, or anything. Felt like there was some agenda to prove vegan food is tasty. No. No it is not.

This place is phenomenal! I enjoyed every course of the meal. It was a one of a kind experience eating in pitch black darkness and using only your other senses to determine what you are eating. Your eyes can lie to you. We see things and immediately say I don't eat that, but taking sight away you get to experience the dish without any preconceived notions. My server Joshua was the absolutely best and made the experience even more fun! I will definitely come again when the menu changes.

This experience is great! It is really fun! The food was delicious and eating in the dark was a great time. Our server was wonderful! it was really busy, but they did a good job and never waited very long for each course. This is a great date night!

Service was excellent and all the staff were very friendly. I would recommend people try this just for the experience. It was fun trying to figure out what I was eating. Having said that, I didn't care for the food. The final course was the only thing I could take more than a few bites. When shown the menu at the end, it would have been nice to see pictures of the food as well.

Very fun experience and well executed. I've done this before at another place and it was different. I like how Blackout does the seven courses but doesn't say what you're getting until the end of the meal. The courses were a little heavy and rich but all the food was excellent. I would love if they had a wine pairing option.

We were a bit nervous but open to trying this experience. We are not disappointed! Would recommend this to people with open minds and a love for foods. All the items were delicious. The entire staff was friendly and really made it easy to get past the fear of not being able to see or really know what the menu was ahead of time. Would go again.
My husband I travel from Ny to Las Vegas often. We make it a point to experience Black Out Dinning every chance we get. We just visited again last night and loved our 7 course meal! Always had amazing service and fun waitress/waiters too. Just do yourself a favor and go!

It's one of the best dining experiences I've had ever! The food is absolutely delicious with great contrast of texture and flavor combinations. The pitch dark experience allows people to immerse into the fantastic tasting without visual perceptions, or distractions, which requires higher culinary skills to achieve that as people usually eat by eyes first! It's a must stop at Vegas and should be known to many more people for them to truly enjoy foods in a most unique way! And guess what, that's a big revealer in the end which is most surprising and that would elevate this experience to an even higher level! I don't want to reveal the movie ending and you have to try for yourself to discover that!

I convinced a couple of my coworkers to come try this place with me. It was very fun! The first course, a soup, was my favorite. It was fun trying to find the food and theorizing what we might be eating. The food was good, but I think you're paying more for the experience. Not sure I would pay the same price to come here again. It's definitely worth trying though if you have adventurous companions to join you.

Chris was a great friendly waiter but the service took 1.75 hours and we not only waited a long time between courses for 2 people, we almost missed our show start. We would have liked to have had more time to look at the menu- but we were already late. Wine quality could be better.

I was a little nervous when my husband brought me here, but kept an open mind and found that this was AMAZING!! Food and being disconnected from phone was the best. Service was excellent as well!Vegetarian options: All plant based and delicious!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and nut allergy options
