Dining in the Dark – Woolloongabba
What an incredible and unique experience! My husband was gifted a night at Dining in the Dark by his coworkers to celebrate his 50th birthday, and it was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Mick and his amazing team made us feel welcome and completely immersed in the experience.
The concept of dining in complete darkness was both fun and surprisingly insightful. Mick explained the process clearly, and the pre-set 3-course meal was a delicious mystery. As total foodies, we had fun guessing what was on each plate—some guesses were spot on, others kept us guessing until the big reveal at the end!
I loved being able to dig in with my fingers to feel the textures, while my husband impressively managed with cutlery despite not being able to see a thing. The staff were attentive, entertaining, and made sure the whole evening was smooth and enjoyable.
Arrive early to grab a drink and take in the historical photos of the area—it adds a lovely touch to the night. Highly recommend this as a fun and delicious date night or a catch-up with your bestie. A truly memorable way to celebrate a...
Read moreThe hostesses were very thorough in guiding to the table and to things on the table. But the chef has to put a lot more thought into the meals. My friend and I each took the pescatarian and meat option and shared as usual. The aioli for the (underseasoned) salt and pepper calamari was in a glop to the side of the plate which made for a very ugly mouthful. The seafood mains was a Spaghetti dish with partially shelled prawns and mussels in shells- this is blind eating! How are you supposed to cope with this? The beef mains -a calzone - was undercooked (raw dough) and under flavoured, but covered in aoli. The tables were decorated- I don't know why, but the faux spiderweb caught in everything and ended up in the food as well. Sadly the only things the blindfolds gave was to enhance poor quality food and...
Read moreMe and my partner had “Dining in the dark” experience here. It was really good! It’s actually in the dark space not with the blindfold like the other place that you can have a little peak🙈 The waiter in the dark will wear the gaggles. Love the vibes, love the staff at front very detail to explain the whole process.
Just some more details can work on, such as when you go inside the dark, hope the waiter can describe where is chair instead of saying nothing but no it’s wrong , since I’m the second people to sit down. Also I got hit by plates in my head, I know maybe it happens, but it was quite hurtful.
Overall I’ll still come back, I like the whole experience , like you can guess what we’re you eating in the dark, open your imagination also to enhance your palate. Fun to go on a...
