Lights Out

Opaque: A Unique Dining Experience
Turn off the lights, what do you see?
The eyes are the doors to mind and soul. Our observations constantly call upon a plethora of thoughts and questions-some known, some unknown. When the eyes are closed, the world becomes frozen as the mind becomes the dominant ruler. This also applies to the balancing act that our five senses play. When one is eliminated, the others' abilities become increasingly intense. By closing our eyes, we deracinate all possible thoughts to focus entirely upon one subject- in this case it's the sense of taste.
Studies prove that flavors of food are greatly enhanced when no light is to be found. Like electricity, the food acts as a conductor, pulling all currents of the mind and senses to focus exclusively on the food. Opaque wants to capture this essence of a phenomenon to share with the curious-minded, adventure-seeking human race. The utter darkness captures all familiarities and locks them away for this ineffable experience. It captures its guests, transporting them into an unknown abyss and forcing them into an uncomfortable state of being in hopes of creating a greater enlightenment of a new and unforgettable journey.
The vision-impaired, but specially trained personnel guide guests through every aspect of their new-found adventure. The menu changes frequently, offering a wide-array of opportunities for guests to experience. As the forkful of delectable cuisine enters the mouth, the taste buds come alive by capturing and savoring the flavor like antibodies would when attacking a virus. Every possible element of the meal is extracted, leading the individual to unknown place of serenity and pleasure.
