A unique experience, everyone should to try at least once. My son wanted to celebrate his birthday doing something unique and different, so he selected the restaurant Dans Le Noir, NYC. I made reservation weeks in advance for our family of 6. We were greeted in the lounge area when we arrived and our journey began. Since this experience is... More

Myself and a group of girlfriends went to Dans Le Noir this past weekend during a short trip to NYC. What an experience. A rather unfamiliar and unerving experience to be in pitch black to begin with but our fabulous waiter Sam made us feel comfortable and assured us that we would be looked after! His infectious laugh also dispelled... More

If you want a unique experience, this is it! Sam was our waiter this past weekend, you were brilliant Sam! Being in the dark like was not entirely comfortable for me at first, he made it so easy to relax with his humor while he gave us great service. The whole restaurant sang to me in for my birthday, in... More

I have had a really interesting experience at Dans le Noir,( in the Dark) I think everyone should try it. . You are guided by blind staff into a completely dark room. You form a real bond with your waiter as you are completely dependant on them. I really concentrated on the flavours which I thought excellent, the quality of... More

Unbelievable! Such an unusual experience that I feel everyone should go. My girlfriend and I were seated with 6 other people whom we didn't know, whom we couldn't see (of course), but we feel their voices and conversations gave us a much better feel of who they really were than a simple judgment at their physical appearance. Unique. Our guide... More

I believe everyone should experience this, you really do come out with a new appreciation of sight. I notice people are whinging about the food - sure, it's not a perfectly balanced plate of flavours, it's a plate of interesting flavours and textures to heighten the experience, I'll take a hit on the cuisine for that. My only negative was... More

You are guided and truly being taken care of by persons who can't "SEE"; to savour a delicious meal in pitch dark. You really taste the food, being visually undistracted, and enjoy the joyful presence of the other diners at your table, whom you talk to so naturally, and share your experience with. And like children, you play and have... More

Me and a party of 11 visited 'Dans Le Noir' on Friday 15th Feb 2013. When we were led into the restaurant by our blind guide we were very excited and were thrilled by the experience of being in total darkness. However a number of factors diminished our enjoyment of the evening. The first was the food. I had the... More

STRONG RECOMMENDATION: 6:30 seating. Supposedly, the 8 or 8:30 seating is packed tight. However, the 6:30 seating was comfortably personal and intimate. I cannot imagine a dining room of 72 people. There were maybe 12 in our dining room. It was a bit loud, people overcompensating for their inability to see, through shouting. The preparation: We arrived about 1/2 hour... More
