This was an amazing experience! Firstly our server, Mizen, was the best. I can't imagine serving food & drinks in the complete darkness. Initially I was a little apprehensive walking into the blackness, but it was actually pretty cool. The room was quite quiet, just other patrons who were quietly speaking to each other, & some light music. Food was delicious. I had the scallops appetizer & a steak. Not gonna lie, I ended up eating with my fingers. I made a valiant effort to use a knife & fork but just couldn't make it work. This is a very unique experience & I highly recommend it. Thank you Mizen!

Une expérience incroyable & vraiment originale ! Manger dans le noir est un concept surprenant & parfaitement maîtrisé. Tout était excellent, de l'accueil au repas

Un grand merci à Samy, très professionnel, attentionné & rassurant. Je recommande à 100 % !

I had mixed feelings about my experience at O.Noir.

The service at the beginning was excellent, & the concept itself is very unique & interesting. Dining in complete darkness is truly an experience. However, once seated, the atmosphere changed significantly due to very large groups being extremely loud. There was yelling, constant laughter, & disruptive behavior, to the point where other guests were asking them to be quiet. One woman even took out her phone repeatedly to take pictures of her food, which completely broke the immersion.

I understand that when someone loses their sight, they may naturally compensate by speaking louder, but I strongly feel that guests should be reminded to keep their voices at a reasonable level. I also think limiting table sizes to no more than four people would greatly improve the experience-large groups really take away from the calm & immersive atmosphere. The noise became so overwhelming that we rushed through our meal just to leave, & I ended up with a migraine.

As for the food, it was mediocre overall. While it is impressive that the chefs are visually impaired, the execution could be improved. I ordered the beef (sirloin/flank), & it was very difficult to cut & chew in the dark. The pieces were too large, which made eating uncomfortable & even nauseating.

I would recommend doing the two-course option instead of the four-course meal. There is about a 30-minute wait between each course, which makes it a very long time to remain in complete darkness-especially when paired with excessive noise.

The concept is excellent, but the overall experience could be significantly improved with better crowd control, smaller group sizes, & clearer expectations for guest behavior.

An experience of a lifetime! Dark it is & you cannot see your hand in front of you face. Sophia our server was wonderful & food was delicious especially the surprise dessert. Your other senses will kick in especially hearing. It is not likely any louder than any other restaurant but you can hear conversations then as more people arrive it does become louder but it was not distracting to us as we enjoyed the smells & tastes of the food provided. I would highly recommend. Thank you Gabriel & Sophia for wonderful service!

J'ai profondément aimé cette expérience! Je suis venu avant tout pour l'expérience mais la nourriture était tout bonnement excellente.
Toute fois, il faut être prêt à mettre sa main dans son assiette. & pour vivre l'expérience jusqu'au bout, je vous recommandé de prendre le menu surprise !
Toute l'équipe est vraiment sympathique merci à Sofia de serre occupée de nous toute la soirée.

Le seul point négatif c'est que certains clients oublient que ce n'est pas parce qu'on ne les voit pas qu'on ne les entend pas, pas besoin d'hurler pour parler à une personne juste en face de vous..
