 Another whacky Chinese restaurant! Sounds like open season for groping...

The first dark restaurant in Asia is officially opened on the 23 December 2006. This restaurant, located in Beijing, China, has its interior painted completely black. Customers are greeted by a brightly lit entrance hall and will be escorted by waiters wearing night vision goggles into the pitch dark dining room to help them find their seats. Flashlights, mobile phones and even luminous watches are prohibited while in this area.

By starving one's sense, your other senses are stimulated to full alert – all so the theory goes – and your food will taste like it's never tasted before. In case you are wondering about the washrooms, they are all brightly lit. [a href="vny!://news.xinhuanet.com/photo/2007-01/04/content_5563981.htm"]Link[/a] [in Chinese] [/p]
 
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

   I think a beautifully plated meal is a sense that I wouldn't want deprived.  It's an interesting concept though.

I would do it for the heck of it but yeah, I like to see my food first though. You see what you eat.

Up until now, I've never wanted to be a waiter.

Oh, the possibilities...
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

I believe the tenakani-san would grope you then serve you later. And not necessary in that order.
