Description
Ever wondered what it is like to eat in the dark? Eminent psychologists have been advocating dining in the dark as the ultimate taste experience for many years. Studies show that 80 percent of people eat with their eyes; with that sense eliminated, the theory is that the other senses—namely taste and smell—take over to elevate your meal to a whole new level. After donning your blindfold in the darkened, candlelit room, you'll soon realize that focusing on taste and smell alone can be a truly enlightening experience—provided you're not afraid of the dark!
- Genuinely so fun, well organized and a wonderful experience.
- Unique and so fun.
- Great Experience
- Dining in the dark was a fun experience! We loved testing our senses to see if we could figure out what we were eating without seeing it!
- Loved it! Food could have been a slight hair warmer but other wise perfect!!
- It was a great experience only wish at least one alcoholic drink of choice was included for the meal
- Was a great experience. Amount of food relative to the price paid was a bit off in my opinion, but the quality of the food was really good.
