Very cool concept and great food. Must say, you really are dining in pitch darkness, and it gets you to use your other senses a lot more! Also was great that each course (you get 3) is made up of 4 smaller dishes, so there...really is an element of wonder and discovery for the food :) We liked that we were given a fun questionnaire at the end to see if we could guess what our dishes were, and a few of them were surprising! Would also like to shout-out to our dining host Halimi - great service, very personable guy.More

One of the most unique experiences ive ever done. And food was so good! Serving was more than enough. And the best thing about this experience also was BERNARD the host. He was funny, entertaining and made the experience so much better! He knew everybody’s...names and made sure everyone was comfortable despite the dark. Look for him when you go hereMore

We went to Nox Dine in the Dark to celebrate Mother's Day. It is definitely a one of a kind experience! I usually don't like to go to restaurants with a prix fixe menu, but in this case, it is totally worth it! The surprise...of not knowing what's on the menu and then trying to guess is a lot of fun. At the end you fill out a questionnaire where you guess what you ate, and then a staff member comes out to show you photos of all the dishes you were served and what they were. I was surprised by a few! They change the menu every 2 months, which is nice so you can go more than once. Also, shout out to our waiter Halimi, who has a great and positive attitude and made this a fun and unique experience! Would highly recommend.More

Food was amazing and was an amazing experience savoring and guessing the food that we had. (The staff will reveal the results at the end) The staff here are blind and its really humbling to hear their stories and how they've persevered despite it all....Special shoutout goes to Halimi who really inspired us to be grateful for life and was jovial in his service and to Bernard who was kind to answer all our questions. A must try!More

Experience its ok, we have dine in the dark, but food and wine wasn't at all were should be for the price that cost,350$. First room it's nice and elegant but stairs to go up were dirty and unsanitary. I'll give two stars as the...waiters were amazing, but food was bland, unseasoned, extremely small portions and given to you in packs of fours. Supposed to be a degustation menu, not a school packed food in plastic cups. This place need a big improvement if they want to be open long term as we won't go back and we won't recommend it at all.More

Fantastic! I went with my sister, who is deaf. She has cochlear implants but relies on lip reading in loud areas. The dining room is total darkness. The staff was very accommodating and did everything they could to make sure she understood everything. The food...was very good, and you don't know what you ate until after eating. It was fun trying to guess what each dish was. Great experience, wonderful staff.More

This was my 2nd time there and 1st time for my partner. However the 1st time for both of us at the new relocated location at Club St. Much bigger same and the aesthetics from the arrival experience through the entire dinner journey was super...well thought through. A big big shout out to Halimi who was our host through our dinner serving and he was impeccable with details and interaction especially having the fact that none of us could see each other. He went above and beyond to close the evening with his personal story that was very touching for him to share his vulnerable side and made the night closed with a bang for us. Eugene & Janelle as well as Bernard was also 100% 5 Stars at any of the touch points with prompt service with a genuine smile and welcomed us back again in the near future. The Lounge area was so beautiful and lux, with hidden lockers that was well designed not to be an eyesore of the restaurant looks. The simulated dining area for photo taking was too cute. Do note that you are required to lock up your belongings and remove all light reflective items on your body (shiny earrings, accessories, watches etc). Do remember to use the wash room before going up to the main dining hall for a full immersive experience.More

Food and wine could be better but you are paying for an experience and proved to be an excellent evening and very interesting. The service was exceptional from Bernard, Kevin and all the staff, their willingness to talk openly about their lives was very powerful....I wish the staff and concept well. Would recommend a visit and put trust in the guys to enjoy it! If anything was nice to put phone away for 90 minutes!More

Went to Nox to have dinner with my wife. It was interesting to experience how people with visual impairment live their life. You can't really replicate this experience at home because you will be more familiar with with your environment.
