I'd looked forward to lunch here all week, could not contain my excitement, but then almost had an anxiety attack once I was in total darkness. Just go into it with an open mind and a willingness to roll with it and laugh at yourself.This was definitely an EXPERIENCE! I love trying new things, and this was a lot of fun.after I calmed down from being in total blackness. We thought we’d been in there for 45-60 minutes but it was actually two hours. And everything was delicious and extremely filling. I’m a picky eater, but not seeing the food made me try foods I probably would have skipped normally if I’d seen them on the table. The food was a mix of hot and cold, and it’s all vegan. So we just used our hands instead! Your waiter comes to clear your plates in between courses and then gives you the next one with enough instruction to know how to eat the current course, but without telling you what it is.

We were assigned a waiter, Kory, who was awesome.

I visited here last week on a girly trip and we were all very excited about it We were sat down at our table fine Then we were given our first course FINGERS ONLY what a joke when your putting your hands in sludge and god knows what There was only a napkin and I asked for a fork to be told that it was part of the experience to you my hands I ended up using my water glass to wash my hands disgusting After about half an hour and another few courses my sister felt ill I asked the server to take my sister out because she felt ill only to be told that he was serving DESSERT I said she couldn’t wait and he finally took her out She was violently ill and when she returned we had all had enough so we asked to leave Only to told to be quiet when they showed us the menU of what we had eaten while we were in there It was a horrible experience of which I will never repeat The next day the concierge in planet Hollywood asked us how it was and we told him all about what had happened he was very concerned because he obviously couldn’t recommend any where like that So we told him to try it and see what he thought Anyway I would never recommend this to anyone My sister is still nauseous and even having nightmares about the place ![]()
