About this business
Located in V lounge in the neighborhood of Santa Monica, Opaque offers an out-of-the-box dining experience of Dining in the dark. Once you arrive at the restaurant, it is a lighted room where you have to place your order, after which you will be guided to be seated in a pitch dark room. The servers at Opaque are visually impaired and are well trained to serve food and to guide sighted people, ironical to the usual situation in life. A part of your bill goes as a charity towards blindness research. Call ahead for reservations... read more

The Worst Experience of my life! – We arrived to an empty old night club which they were still cleaning to very indifferent staff. We were very quickly ushered into a black out room and sat down with our guide which are apparently "Blind" which we found out later are not and are wearing night vision glasses so they can see. Overall "Terrible" experience. Not for the scared or claustrophobic.
Tasty food, but what brushed my cheek? – A unique experience to say the least, but during the second course, something kept brushing my cheek. At first, I thought it was just a fly buzzing around, but once I tried to slap it and it felt like I hit an exposed penis. Was I being crop-dusted? I will never know for sure. Otherwise, the experience was a positive one.
Business response:
Hi There, thanks for writing a review about us. If it helps to eliminate the concern about the genitals involved in your experience I wanted to point out that not only you but everyone else in the room could not see... but us. I can guarantee you that it would have been impossible for a guest to be precisely brushing your cheek like it seemed to you. Our waiters have better things to do to keep customers happy, should you still distrust them, while being precise with the plates getting your cheek like a fly even they cant do... read more
Did not work for me !!! So it sounded like a cool concept and I am up for new experiences. It was more than a little disappointing. The food and service were so-so and the "this is new" cool part wore off fast and became this is annoying dark fairly quickly.
Must try – Seriously.....one of the best dinner experiences i have ever had. I surprised my husband ...and by the way it was a first time for me. I never thought eating in the dark ( pitch black to be exact ) would be so much fun! I am always up for new experiences and so is my husband. He was amazed the entire time. It was interestingly relaxing. Having one of your senses tuned down completely was truly exhilirating. Try it and see......have fun!
You Got To Try This – This is an awesome experience. I wanted to take my girlfriend out for something different, she loves good food. This dining room is pitch black and you cannot see a thing. The purpose of this experience is to rely on your touch, smell and taste to guide you. You blindly select a meal and then you enjoy. The food was really awesome, the server was great and the experience was unforgettable. Really made for a great date.
This Friday is the day of night – I have been getting ready for this day a long time. I am putting my best gear on... gonna look real pretty, as there real beauty is proven when no one sees. This is so exiting and I will follow up when its on my 'seen' that done that list.
had I only an infrared eye between the other 2 – Nothing, plain nothing, is what you get. In terms of what you see. But they offer you the world of senses on a silver tray it is up to you to choose whether you want to take it and where you want to take it. Do you want to listen, smell, touch, or taste, or all at once. It was a concert of senses conducted by our lovely waiter Michael. Do yourself a favor and request him.
