Has anyone here ever eaten in a pitch black restaurant?

A few years ago we did a halloween dinner at a restaurant in Grand Rapids where they blindfolded you. We have eaten there before and it is very good. The dinner was lots of fun and the food was good as well. They orient you to the plate and glasses in front of you using a clock face system that is very easy to pick up. The food was mostly things that could be eaten with the hands or a spoon. No cutting or knives were involved.

'Dinner in the Dark' set for three dates at San Chez Bistro (Todd's To Do Tonight) | MLive.com
It was a lot of fun and you taste things that you would not if you were sighted.
They did not tell us what we were eating until after the course was done and then they told us. That was a neat part of it.
It was well worth it.

Eating with a blindfold is said to be a method used in Japan to address over-eating. You pay attention to how full you are rather than how much food is left on your plate that way, goes the theory, and so you eat less.

Never have. I don't think I'd go out of my way to do same. I'm rather untrusting of servers, especially if I've complained...which I rarely do.
Dont worry about the servers if you complain worry about the cooks if you send your food back.
Think about it the server is working for tips so they want to make you happy. The cook is just in the back sweating in a hot kitchen under constant stress and with no immediate correlation between how happy the customer is and their income. Pissing them off by sending stuff back, especially for something nit picking (I wanted extra medium rare not regular medium rare) is not the best thing to do without good reason.
Yes I worked in restaurants when younger
I'm easy going in restaurants. If the service and/or food is bad then it goes on my blacklist. It's a short list, there is competition in the sector and a bad restaurant will not be in business long.
Agreed, But I have seen people send back plates 2-3 times. Usually because they are trying (and failing) to impress and appear to be big shots. Sometimes though it is for a good reason, I have never seen anything bad happen in such cases.
You don't see it but I wouldn't eat the food that came back.

Well it would be a relief to your wife

Same hear and some were like that but as i moved up the chain to five establishments everything and everybody waz perfect0
I have a lot of restaurant experience, too, and I never send anything back. Ever. If it's that bad, I just don't eat it and never return.Dont worry about the servers if you complain worry about the cooks if you send your food back.

That would be an exception to my rule. If I ordered a t-bone and they gave me liver & onions (I hate liver & onions) I would send that back and expect my steak.Like I said if you return the food for legitimiate reasons (ask for rare steak they give well done, soup is cold, not what you ordered etc) I have never seen a problem. When you send it back because you are being nit picky/jerk (orderign medium rare but then complaining there is some pink, complaing that one of the shrimp on the surf and turf is a bit smaller than the others etc) That is something you probably shouldnt eat when it comes back.

I actually got a hot pasta dish once that was icy cold. I sent that one back without any fear of something nasty beign done, they obviously messed up. Wasnt a jerk abotu it just told them what was wrong.
One current trend that has cropped up is dining in total blackness. Many people believe that the other senses—especially those most aligned with eating, taste, and smell—are heightened when sight is taken away.
