Fantastic! - Edit
Blackout Dining in the Dark was a fantastic experience! Dining in complete darkness and enjoying a full vegan menu is something everyone should try. It might be a bit intimidating at first, but the staff is incredibly kind and explains everything thoroughly, helping you every step of the way.
Read moreAfter about 10 minutes, you start to relax and get comfortable, and eating in the dark becomes a unique and enjoyable experience. The food is not only delicious but heightened by the sensory adventure. What made it even better was the fantastic wine pairing, which complemented the dishes perfectly. It’s an experience you truly must have! You should definitely make a visit to Blackout Dining in the Dark.

Great experience!!!!!! - Edit
Such a great experience!
Read moreThe staff is very friendly, our waitress was amazing!
The food was very tasty, we loved every of the 7 courses, simply delicious. And i was so funny to try to figure out what we where eating.
My father has allergies. He was taken into consideration, he even got a vest so that the waitress knew that he got other courses than we did.
When you are leaving they show you the menu with the pictures.
I can only highly recommend this unique experience!!! Absolutely worth the price!
Pros: Full vegan, Delicious, Unique experience

A vegan dining experience not to be missed while in Vegas - Edit
We stuffed ourselves on the seven course vegan meal served in total darkness at blackout. While they do reveal the menu at the end when you're checking out, I'm not authorized to tell you what they served, but I can assure you it's all vegan! Creative and fun and truly pitch black dark dining ... The food was mostly excellent and we had a good time guessing what we were eating. Don't miss the experience that is blackout.
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Fun eating in the dark, Most of the courses were outstanding
Cons: Seven courses is a lot of food, A little pricey

We had an incredible all in the dark. 7 courses over 2 hours. Our server Joshua was hilarious and kept us well entertained. Expensive but worth every penny. Even our omni friends loved it.

Can't accommodate allergies. (Even though they say they do) - Edit
Went with a friend who was vegan and had an allergy. They must premake all the food as they couldn't remove the allergen from my friend's dish.
Read moreThe reason this is so upsetting is because they state on their website that they can accommodate allergies, you have to make a reservation ahead of time, so they have an opportunity to ask ahead if there are allergies and make accommodations or tell you at that point no and turn you away. But they don't.
Pros: Cool idea
Cons: Can't accomidate allergies, Very expensive
RachelLevi
Hi, thanks for your review. We can accommodate soy, nuts, mushroom, gluten and tomato allergies, which covers a large percentage of the general population with food allergies. We work very hard to accommodate most guests and also offer them a delicious meal. Our food is made fresh and our sauces and desserts are pre-prepped the same day as your reservation, which is why we cannot accommodate more allergies than what is listed. We also don't want jeopardize the flavor of any of our guests meals or potentially cross contaminate their meal with an dangerous allergen by not being prepared in advance to meet their needs.
Read moreI am sorry that your friend didn't have the experience she was hoping for. I always suggest calling restaurants ahead of time with any allergy questions so it can be notated in advance, and if you book on open table you can add the information in the notes section. Thanks for your time reviewing as it helps us to become a better company.

Worth the Experience - Edit
It’s definitely worth visiting at least once to try dining in absolute darkness. I also think it’s cool it invites non-vegans to try vegan food.
Read moreThe food itself was not the best I’ve had but some dishes were quite tasty. It’s amazing how even some very familiar ingredients can be nearly impossible to discern in the dark…
Pros: All vegan, Very unique , 7 courses
Cons: A few dishes were quite salty, Expensive

Amazing food - Edit
The food is simply AMAZING. Every single dish was full of flavor. I wish they served the same 7 course meal I’m the light because I would love to eat there more often but eating in the dark more than once I don’t think I can do. It was quite the experience to be in pitch dark but I was ready for light and couldn’t wait to get out of there lol I will return though. I’ve told everyone I know to go there. Worth it.

Pitch black! No joke! - Edit
I thought it would be dark in there, like lights out but this is, no kidding, NO light where you cannot see your hand in front of your face. Pretty cool and unique! I so badly wanted to visit when I heard it was vegan and badly wanted to give a good review but a one hour wait with a reservation was really disappointing. Second, read the waiver you sign carefully! Why does it mention the possibility of meat? We almost left but went and asked for confirmation that everything we were going to be served was vegan. Still unsettling.
Read morePros: Low key vegan dining!, Good food! , Fun experience!
Cons: Long wait WITH a reservation! , Sketchy waiver to sign mentions meat! , Awkward waiting room with people giving spoilers.
RachelLevi
Hi, thanks for your review as it does help us to improve as a company! We will definitely look into improving our reservation wait time. As for the waiver, I can assure you that there is no meat or animal products of any kind. Our lawyer added the verbiage in there as a blanket statement when he created the waiver, never with any intention that meat would be served though. We (the owners) are personally vegan and have been for 15 years, so I do understand where you are coming from in that regard.😄I hope we see you back again!

Cool experience, sub par vegan food - Edit
Very unique to eat in pitch black. Service was great. Super loud. Food was over salted, used fake meats, and could have been so much better. Glad we went but food was disappointing.

Giddy with excitement - Edit
This restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip to Vegas. I knew going in what to expect, but I still didn't expect what was coming.
Read moreOur waiter guided us through the pitch black restaurant, conga-line style. We both immediately started laughing from how much fun and ridiculous it was. You literally can not see a single thing inside besides a small light from the waiter's night vision goggles.
It's a 7 course meal that rotates throughout the year and they show you a menu of what you were eating at the end.
We were dissecting and guessing all of the flavors we could in the courses and were pretty spot on after the reveal. They tell you how to eat the food, but you can go in and just start feeling it around with your fingers.
Our waiter was such a blast. He was so funny, kind, and really made our time that much better. It's expensive but it was 100% worth it for the experience.
Pros: Unique, Fun, Great service

FUN - Edit
I visited this place around Halloween of 2021. This place was our best Vegas experience which is saying a lot because we had a fantastic week there.
Read moreEverything IS vegan even though it may not be always clear. It’s PITCH BLACK while you are inside the dining area. You might see a teeny tiny red dot on a waiters goggles but that’s it. You’re not told what the food is until the end. They explain “how to eat” the food, but the full use of your other four senses are highly encouraged AND FUN. PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD.
I felt like a dummy because I ate with my eyes shut for some reason. Anyway, staff was incredibly nice and did not judge in any sort of way. This was crazy filling (seve courses?!?!) so come hungry!
Pros: Super fun, Friendly staff, FULLY VEGAN

Oh wow this was good - Edit
Definitely didn't require fancy clothing. Was very busy on an early Thursday night. They'll make you lock up your phone. The 7 course meal is a surprise. Revealed only at the end. You get only what they serve. Also, staff uses adult humor.

Great date night experience! - Edit
I enjoyed this experience so much the first time I make it a point to come here every time I’m in Vegas. The entire menu is a surprise but it’s allergen friendly and completely vegan. The servers abs host are really friendly and enthusiastic which adds to the fun experience of the date. Experience is great food is great and it’s a memorable date night!

A unique experience for a vacation or special occasion - Edit
So, as the other reviews have mentioned, the dining room is entirely in the dark. The servers have night vision goggles and your party is escorted conga-line style to your seats. No phones or glowing electronics are allowed (there is a locker for you to store them in) so it is TRULY pitch dark in there. There are 7 (I think) courses, and the server will describe to you how to eat each one (without telling you what it is).
Read moreIt may seem kind of gimmicky, and I suppose it kind of is, but it honestly made for a pretty cool experience. It is pretty trippy to eat say, a Brussel sprout and know you're eating something familiar but be unable to pinpoint exactly what it is because you can't see it!
The actual food is quite good. Would it be worth the prices they were charging if it was just a normal restaurant? Probably not, but obviously since the service is so involved the prices are understandable.
I also like that they are pretty subtle about the fact that they are a vegan restaurant, so I imagine this exposes a lot of otherwise stubborn meat eaters to some delicious vegan food.
Due to the expense I don't see myself coming back here anytime soon, but it was definitely worth it for the experience and I would absolutely recommend it to others.
Pros: Unique dining experience, Friendly, attentive service, Great food
Cons: Expensive
