DINE IN THE DARK

What does emotion taste like?
At Dine in the Dark, every course was built around a human emotion: comfort, desire, fear, joy, nostalgia.
Violinist Jaimi Grether guided our guests through the journey, note by note, emotion by emotion.
🥂 Ten courses. 🎻 Ten emotions. One unforgettable night.

🖤 Multi-Sensory Tasting Journey | Where Flavors Glow in Silence

Where flavors glow in silence.

At Dine in the Dark, the familiar world of sight slips away — and in its place, a new universe of sensation is born.

Throughout the evening, you’ll journey through emotions sculpted in taste:

  • A fleeting moment of curiosity, captured in something crisp and bright.

  • The deep, enveloping warmth of comfort, melting softly on the tongue.

  • A playful surprise, hidden within an unexpected spice or texture.

  • A tender note of nostalgia, whispering from a familiar yet transformed flavor.

  • And a final taste of wonder, leaving you suspended in the unknown.

Each course is designed as a delicate, one-bite creation — easy to hold, to discover with your hands, to savor slowly.

Curated background music flows through the evening, weaving invisible threads between each emotion, each dish, each breath.


Close your eyes. Taste the unseen. Feel what you have forgotten.
