Dinner in the dark
The Sun, always ahead of the curve, wrote about the dining in the dark trend about four years ago. The idea is that the rest of your senses are heightened when you're totally in the dark so that you can experience food in a new way.
Here's a link to a California restaurant -- where else? -- called Opaque if you want to know more about the phenomenon.
Or you can give Taste in Belvedere Square a call. ...

The restaurant is holding a Dinner in the Dark on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.
As the press release puts it, "Diners are blindfolded, immersing themselves in darkness, and led through multiple courses of fabulous fare created by Chef Ann Nault and designed to heighten the awareness of taste, texture and scent."
More important, it gets down to specific details:
1) $40 for four courses, $50 for four courses with wine.
2) If you have to go to the bathroom, you raise your hand and are led to the top of the stairs where you can take your blindfold off.
Whew.

Comments
I got an email from Taste advertising this event. It doesn't appeal to me at all especially the part about being led to the bathroom!
