Class Description

Description Cancellation Policy

Description

Without sight, diners’ other senses are heightened.

Smells, textures and sounds all become more intense.

Arrive at our door, don a blindfold and let us take you on an unforgettable ride.

We like to maintain the mystery, but here are a few particulars —

  • Diners wear comfortable blindfolds throughout the event. The dining room is not dark.
  • Dinners are 4 courses paired with (unlimited) wine. Please allot 2 1/2 hours for the dinner.
  • Menus are secret until the end of the meal so naturally guests have fun guessing which food and wine is on the plate and in the glass.
  • Any dietary restrictions can be accommodated.
  • Please contact us at [email protected] to tell us of any allergies or dislikes.
  • Tickets must be purchased in advance. Pricing is all-inclusive (food, wine, and gratuity).
  • On arrival, we give you an orientation outside and answer questions before leading you into the dining room with your blindfold on.
School Notes:

We don't have any age restrictions on either our classes or events. We take people of all ages, but those under 21 years of age are not allowed to consume wine or any alcoholic beverages.

Refund Policy

  • Tickets can be fully refunded up to a week before the class
  • If less than a week, you may reschedule or request a refund, with a $25 per ticket fee
  • If within 48 hours of class, there will be no refunds issued or rescheduling allowed (but tickets are transferable)
  • In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount

    I loved it all! The sounds the tastes the courses were awesome. I do think some of my food had a touch of cream or something that I listed as a sensitivity, but it was all very tasty. If there was anything about the experience I would change, I’d say that if we are supposed to wait outside in the wintertime, we should know about it so we don’t end up arriving early and waiting so long in the cold. Anyway, thank you Abigail and staff you were all so kind and accommodating!

    Chef Abigail created a wonderful experience in addition to outstanding food!!

  • Dinners in the Dark

    It was a fantastic experience. An opportunity to try to enhance other senses but the sight in a safe environment. Staff very kind and professional and I had the plus to benefit from a meditation moment. Relaxing experience, enjoyable and unforgettable. That was a present’s birthday from my daughter Sissy and as usual her great taste for the good things was proved once more.

Question from hope h.
How many people in a table?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff
Hi Hope. However people sign up is how they seat people. They have long tables that are technically communal but they are not packed like sardines at all. :) It feels intimate if it's a date. Hope this helps.

Question from Anonymous
For Dinner in the Dark, what are the menu options?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff
Hi there! None! That's the whole point. Students will list any dietary restrictions but the menu is a secret. Having said that, the menu is not "weird" it's simple farm to table fare. Hope this helps!

Question from Anonymous
Is this available for large group/private parties?
Answer from Priscilla N. Verified Student
It's a small space, but if you book enough in advance, you should be able to get a block of seats for your party. On the night I was there, there was a group of either 6 or 8. For a private party, you should probably call the restaurant in advance to inquire if they can reserve a night just for your party or something.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff
Hi there! Yes, they do. I just need some information from you. I'll send you an email shortly. Thanks!
