Best

I was invited here by our daughter and son-in-law and it is an experience I will not soon forget. Pros: Delicious food, great menu and service

Worst

I was considering going to this restaurant since the concept looks so cool. I saw too few reviews on the bay area page, so I googled it. There are more locations and more reviews ...

Not For Everyone 5/3/2011

This is not a good experience for everyone. If you've ever been the victim of any kind of assault or sexual violence, this is not a good experience. This is a huge ""trigger"" experience for a lot of people. more

where is the light switch 1/7/2009

Man they really turned off my lights. I was seeing sparkles for about 30 minutes, before i could see nothing. What is better of both, I don't know, but both together added up to be the crescendo of 2008. The evening out of a decade, my night with the one I love in perfect memory whether we die together, or our ways part. This night will remain unforgotten. more

Interesting experience! So glad I went!! 11/7/2008

Let me start off by saying I highly highly recommend Opaque. My friends and I visited the San Fran location and let me tell ya, it's a great place to visit with friends or sig other. We laughed from the minute we stepped foot into the darkness until we broke out into the light to pay our bill and leave! Pros: Great food! Nice selection, not your average dining experience Cons: Alittle on the expensive side when drinks start to factor into your bill but overall worth it more

hide 8/1/2008

Johnny Depp was there!!!! or at least someone that damn sounds like him, I could have sworn I heard his voice. Staff wouldn't tell me as 'people' come and hide in the dark. Apparently more so in Hollywood where this originated. We were not the first ones to find out but apparently Thrillist subscribers had the first go on this as they were on to it before Opaque even opened getting them into the opening night, shame on you dailycandy!!!! I am subscribing. more

Just opened and I will tell my kids that I had the pleasure of beeing the first one to review. Pros: no where else to be found more

Editorial

  • A European concept by way of LA, ""dark dining"" is like a power outtage with gourmet cuisine and white-gloved service. Before entering, diners are presented with a multiple-choice (beef or fish,...
