![]() ![]() ![]() And, you know, I love exactly what you said. She and her companion decided not to talk and focus on the food. While chewing my entree, I relied purely on taste to figure out each ingredient. I found that the limited use of eyesight seemed to enhance my other senses. She and a friend went to this restaurant, experienced it, to your point, I love what she said. Phil: Now this story is written by Samantha Barron. And then the third thing that I really love about this is that people are getting exposed and interacting with people that have disabilities and seeing that they have capabilities just like everybody else. I imagine that phone being away has something to do with it, but also the lighting being low. But also what I loved about this is that they have deeper conversations with the people that they're dining with. Now, what's really cool about this is that the feedback that people are giving is that they find that their food is more enjoyable, maybe their senses are heightened a little more, I don't know. And you are working with a staff that is visually impaired. Sally: And then they will lead you in a, they describe it as "leading a conga line of people into the dining area where the lights are down". And then they give you a key, and the key is for you to lock your phone up so that you don't have your phone while you are dining. You do have the option of ordering a surprise dish for each course if you want to, instead of choosing something. So the idea is that you walk in and in a lighted room, you are able to read the menu and order. So, Blackout is located in there, and like you said, the entire waitstaff has some sort of vision impairment disability. And it's actually located in this center called NaLaga’at Center, which is actually a theater where there are performers and creators working there that have disabilities. I love several things about this, but the deal is, the one that I've been looking at and reading about is in Jaffa Israel. We've done that story before years ago, but this one has a twist where all the wait staff in the restaurant are either visually impaired or blind. It's not, you know, we've talked before about going into restaurants where it's all dark, it heightens the senses. I couldn't finish all of the main dish because I wanted to leave room for dessert.Phil: So, Sally, tell us this story about blackout restaurants, that there are now 14 of them across the world, and what's the effect that people are having? This is, you know, so unique. We started off with a soup, an appetizer, main meal and dessert. It's the different textures as well as guessing the indigence that I really enjoyed. My idea of "hot" is tabasco to give some an idea of my palate and it was no where near that spicy. We were there for lunch and it was a four course meal. Personnel there said that the menu does change every 3 months. it's not served.at least at the time of this review. ![]() If you're looking for steak, chicken, fish.etc. Service is AMAZING! From the time we walked in and throughout the meal! As stated in the other reviews, you'll be guided to your table, given information on where your dishware/cutlery is and be treated with first class service. ![]()
