Monday music bingo was super fun! Easy to reserve a table beforehand and free to participate. Service was slow because it was busy, but very friendly staff!

About the restaurant

As experienced on local news channels, newspapers and radio talk shows. Guests dine without sight to heighten your other senses such as taste, smell and touch. Your group will use these “Superpowers” to figure out each of the 7 courses, as the menu is a mystery. Thrill comes through debating each course among your party. Once the experience is complete, you are guided out of the Black Forest so you can meet the Chef, where he presents you with the menu and is there to answer questions.

Chef tastefully creates the menu that will excite your taste buds with items you most likely have enjoyed in your life. The menu is designed for the masses. No exotic or niche items.

So far, our chef has accommodated for >95 different food allergies and dietary needs when known in advance.

Call for same day reservations or groups larger than 9 guests.

This is our second time into dark dining and we brought friends and family! Food is always remarkably good, meeting with the chef afterwards is definitely the highlight! They accommodated gluten/dairy, free friends. The checking in process and staff could use some work but we will be back. Super fun'

Our service Alia was amazing!!! The happy hour menu was perfect. We sat out on the patio and probably won’t pick that table again because the music was right above us and one of our guests is deaf in one ear, but other than that it was really really great service, delicious drinks and good food!

They were right on time, which was GREAT! Our Chef was outstanding. The meal for 4 of us with 6 drinks was 240.00, (only 1 person ordered seafood and the scallops were horrific!). There were the size of marbles and the gentleman at the other side of the table couldn't eat his either. That would be the only thing I would stay away from....

Food was delicious, but had to do some self service. Needed to see our main waiter a little more often. The food runners walking around got their exercise today. Everyone was very friendly. Definitely would come back to this location. Happy Easter!
