this place offers the most unique dining experience ever. we were guided into a pitch black room and were brought surprise dishes. I’m not gonna lie, not being able to see anything kind of gave me anxiety but I got over it throughout the night. the waiters are very nice and helpful btw. super fun experience and I would recommend everyone to try it at least once!!

It's often said that we don't truly appreciate what we have until it's gone. This sentiment rang true for me during my unforgettable dine-in-the-dark experience at O.Noir. The unique setting and remarkable service transformed an ordinary meal into a sensory journey like no other.
From the moment we arrived, the attentive staff, including our exceptional server, Fey, made us feel at ease. He expertly guided us through each course, sharing enthralling stories along the way, making the experience even more memorable.
We opted for the surprise courses, which proved to be a delightful adventure for our taste buds. With our sense of sight temporarily removed, our other senses were heightened, allowing us to fully appreciate the intricate textures, enticing aromas, and exquisite flavors of each dish.
While the price may be on the higher side, the unparalleled experience at O.Noir is undoubtedly worth it. I highly recommend this empathetic culinary adventure to everyone seeking a truly unique dining experience.
What an awesome experience this was! There's nothing like it anywhere in the World! The entire service is in the dark, and you really can't see anything! Every server working here is legally blind, and it's so impressive.
Our server Fe was such an all star all night. His story is so gut wrenching, but regardless, he was spirited, outgoing, and professional. The food was really good, and I highly recommend doing the "surprise" menu.
If you're looking to venture out and try something unique, then this is the place for you! The food, the atmosphere, and the outstanding customer service was just incredible! Two thumbs way up to Binky, Gabriel an our bartender Laryssa for being such amazing hosts!
Fantastic experience for anyone looking for something outside of their comfort zone and different! You have diner in a pitch black room where you can’t see a thing. Its an excellent way to raise awareness towards the blind community. For informational purposes, you enter the restaurant and order all of your food before entering the dining room. You can also take a surprise menu which will have you eating top tier meals without knowing exactly what your eating. Keep in mind that you might be eating squid, rabbit, duck etc.. this place is fancy. The blind staff will lead you to your table and the service takes around 2h. I strongly recommend going here as a group as conversation is key when you can’t see. Friendly staff, excellent food and great experience. I recommend everyone try this at least once if your in the area.
I need to say that O.Noir was an amazing experience!! We had a pleasant night with our server Sami. Our reservation was 8 pm, I think that helped the environment not being so loud as other people have complained about.
I think people’s anxiety level really increases when they first walk into the room to sit down. People have the nervous laugh, sometimes loud, because of the unknown situation they find themselves in. It is surreal, the place is pitch black and the eyes do not adjust. DO NOT adjust. The entire time is all about being tactful. It is difficult to eat in the beginning, but after some tries, we got the hang of it.
Highly recommend it. Once in a lifetime experience! Thank you Sami!!
Great experience & great service! It was a little too noisy & unfortunately, the food didn’t meet our expectations & was too expensive for it’s quality. We still recommend living this experience at least once:-)
This had been on my mind for some time. The experience was amazing and truly awe-inspiring. Our server, Mathieu was amazing and we struck up a great chat about some of the challenges the visually impaired face daily. I have a new appreciation for buttering my bread! Will go back!
This was the wildest most unique dining experience I've ever had. I'll never forget it! The staff and customer service was incredible. I have a gluten sensitivity and they handled it so professionally. I really can't say enough nice things about the service I received! I would happily recommend it again and again!
This was the most exquisite dining experience I have ever had! Eating in the dark forced my other senses to heighten, creating an experience like no other. It helped me have a brief glimpse of what those with limited or no sight experience, I was able to really smell and taste my food, and had an entire meal with no one on their cell phones.
My food was delicious! I got the surprise cold and hot sea appetizers, surprise main, and the chocolate lava cake. All delicious with amazing flavors.
The staff were amazing. They were able to accomodate our very large group of 50 people and navigate in the dark with ease. Matthew, Sophia, and Fey provided the best service I have ever experienced. Our bar tender and the staff that checked us out were also fabulous. Thank you so much for the Epic experience from myself and our entire Epicure group.
I highly recommend this to everyone for an unforgettable date night or a fun activity between friends. This is an incredible experience that is worth trying at least once. The food also makes this place worth going for. I just wish they had an infrared camera to show us some footage afterwards. I'm sure that would give everyone some great laughs. Personally, I was eating with my hands the whole time..
