About
DINING IN THE DARK IS BACK! An unforgettable evening of mystery, flavor, and fun awaits.
About the Experience First launched in Europe’s culinary capitals—Paris, Berlin, Vienna—Dining in the Dark made its U.S. debut in 2005 and has since fascinated thousands. The concept is simple: when vision is removed, your other senses heighten, making every bite more intense and every flavor more vivid.
At our event, guests will be blindfolded between courses, creating the illusion of true “dark dining” with the freedom to peek in between. Get ready to smell, taste, and even feel your food in a whole new way.
This year, we’re adding an extra twist: it’s a Costume-Optional Halloween Party with prizes for the best looks of the night!
Feel free to arrive up to 1 hour prior to your 7:30pm seating to enjoy Happy Hour pricing at The Vault's Sidecar Alley Bar, show off your costumes (optional) and get to know some of the other guests.
