Dining in The Dark

Our first Dining In The Dark dinner event was a great success!  The event was intended to alter the dining experience by relying on other senses. It worked! For example, one thing we learned right away was that when someone is blind-folded, they tend to talk louder. The conversations in the dining room were downright hilarious. 

We kept the menu simple with customers choosing between chicken and seafood.  We changed up the starches so everyone at the table had something different. Everybody had a great time, including our staff.

Stay tuned for our next Dining in The Dark event, and check out upcoming Saturday night dinner events here.
