I love that place, had a great time when we went on a team building exercise last year. Nothing quite like an ice cube fight in the dark to boost moral.

Gordon Ramsay on Hells Kitchen USA rewarded the women with a visit to Opaque, dining in the dark in Los Angeles I think.

If you plan to visit again, just eat plenty carrots beforehand, the vitamin A helps you see in the dark.

It appears to be a very shallow, Yuppie type of thing.
Did it give you pause to think of how truly blind people cope in a seeing world?

Well, the waiters there are blind, you experience an hour or so of living as if you were 100% blind and I believe they support blind charities. You have a crash course in trying to get buy without your normal senses and it's quite a reality check.

Yes, we had a laugh, but it was also a pretty enlightening experience

Hi

I have been there two weeks ago. I booked the table when I saw this in the weekly tips email two monthes ago. Martin has described the experience really well and it was almost exactly what we have expected.

Thank you Martin for letting us know that such a place exists!
