Blackout restaurant is a fairly unique experience - those with visual impairment guide and serve you in a restaurant that is devoid of light. Lets you understand just a small segment of the difficulties experienced by others, and have you use your other senses of touch/proprioception and importantly taste to figure out what you are consuming (and how to do...

Every time someone comes visit me from the States, I have to take them here. I love the plays, as well as the restaurants and events that they have. It's a one-of-a-kind experience that really leaves an impression.

If you are reading the reviews for the restaurant then you will be familiar with the idea of the Blackout Restaurant in that you eat in complete darkness. Obviously this is a truly unique experience and I would recommend it based on that alone however the service (our waitress was Nicole) was excellent and the food was really, really tasty.... More

The evening was so compelling, the stories so exceptional, the engagement so authentic. I highly recommend the theater production of "Not With Bread Alone"

As many other reviewers have said, the restaurant is operated by, and for the benefit of blind and visually impaired people, and is designed to simulate for diners the experience of being blind. It is truly dark inside. You don't realize until you're in there that you hardly ever experience true darkness; there's always a light source somewhere. Here, they... More

I ate with friends at Black Out Cafe. It was a very interesting, powerful experience, to know what it's like to be blind for a meal. Our waitress Ruti was very kind, and friendly. All of the staff there really knows what they are doing. The Salmon was cooked to perfection. That was my favorite. But the whole experience was... More

This is a restaurant where one eats in total darkness, served by blind or sigh impaired wait-staff. The staff is excellent , helpful and friendly. The food is excellent and the experience amazing. One can not see utensils, water pitchers or other diners at the table. You get to know what it is like as best a sighted person can,... More

A different and very special experience. We started the evening with "dinner in the dark". We were greeted by Hila, a cheerful waitress who guided us through the meal. And the food tasted lovely. We did not know what awaited us on the show, but it helped us get an understanding of the blind persons life. All in all a... More
