This Is Cool! Uptown Tavern Debuts Dining In Complete Darkness!

An elevated feast for the senses—that’s the objective of “Darkroom – A Dinner Series” debuting at Uptown Tavern. The new monthly event intensifies the dining experience with a blind five-course chef’s tasting menu in complete darkness.

The idea: By removing one of the senses from the equation—in this case sight—diners will indulge in a more enhanced sensory dining adventure.

We’ve heard about these dinners…they seem crazy cool!

Limited to 20 seats, reservations are required for this special tasting menu designed to stimulate, delight and surprise. The price for the five-course dinner is $49.95 per person. Includes a welcome aperitif cocktail. The event will be held inside the Arrow Lounge, Uptown Tavern’s private dining room.

Executive Chef Mark Molina will prepare a new creative surprise special tasting menu each month inspired by local ingredients in season.

See you there! Or…errrr…I guess maybe hear you there?? 😉
