Dark Dining Projects: Sensory Feasts for Blindfolded Guests

Feasts for the Senses - Don a blindfold and let us lead you into an environment created by a respected artist in collaboration with some of the finest chefs of our day. Wearing a specially designed “Mindfold” blindfold, you are immersed in darkness; eyes open or closed, you experience the perfect blackout.

Each event is unique and features a different menu and artists/performers. Notice the unexpected. Let your other senses take over. Perhaps there is something unexpectedly hard, warm or smooth in the breadbasket, or you are swept up in the percussion of a rainstorm. You might hear the sound of a dancer’s feet slapping the floor.

As you savor the luxurious food and fine wine, challenge your palate to tease out the mysteries of the menu. Then, afterwards, test yourself against the sealed menu card which reveals the event’s menu and artists.

A Few Specifics

Vegetarian Menu - When you make your reservations, please let us know if you prefer a vegetarian menu. 

Allergies - When you make your reservations, please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions. 

Blindfolds
As you enter, you are handed a blindfold to wear throughout the event. No peeking. If you need any assistance, simply ask or raise a hand; there are always several people ready to help to you. “Mindfolds,” are extremely comfortable blindfolds with adjustable velcro closures and foam pads which permit wearers to open their eyes. Originally designed as meditation masks, they provide absolute blackout. Diners have the option to buy the Mindfold they use at a fraction of their usual price.   

Restroom Trips
If you need to use the bathroom, simply ask or raise hand. You will be escorted there. Once inside, you may remove the Mindfold. The room will be lit. When you are ready to come out, put your Mindfold back on and tap on the door. Your escort will lead you back to your table. 

Reservations
Reservations are made by phoning the hosting restaurant or venue.
See Upcoming Events.

Are Dark Dinings art performances or dining experiences?
Both; they are participatory art events revolving around sensory awareness, fine food and eating.
