Dear Marie,
Thank you for visiting us for dinner and for keeping your review spoiler-free.
I am glad you liked it from service to food and recommend the Menu from the East with matching mystery wine pairing.
It can be rather unnatural at first, there is suddenly absolutely no light in the dining room and in our lives there is always light around us. We are very depended on sight, and that is something we take very much for granted. We want to ensure our diners feel comfortable and confident as they enjoy their dinner. So, our guides are trained to explain the table setting, how each course is laid out and where to begin. And, as you mentioned after some time one gets easily adjusted and can feel liberating at times.
And no worries, nobody could see you eat with your fingers. We hear quite often one is using ones’ hands. It makes sense, as in the light our sight is a buffer; we already can anticipate the taste and smell. However, in the dark touch seems to take over as a buffer; you can feel at least the texture and temperature of what you are going to place in your mouth.
Thank you for suggesting others to come and give it a try. We do look forward to your next visit,
Kind regards,
Germ

Dear Celine,
Tusen takk for writing a review of your dining in the dark experience.
It was nice to meet you and we enjoyed taking care of you.
We are pleased reading you enjoyed the dinner from the service to the food. How wonderful as well to notice you like the decoration in the lounge and other “lit” parts.
At Noir. Dining in the Dark we are very proud of our service and it is always a pleasure to know we achieved our goal: providing a unique experience to our guests and meet every guest’s expectations.
Thank you for recommending our restaurant to others and it would be a pleasure to welcoming you back again,
Kind regards,
Germ

Dear Noir.-lover,
Greetings from Saigon. How wonderful to receive such a nice message of compliments. Thank you very much for choosing our restaurant with the group and for taking the time to write your impressions. It is always a delight to be able to pass on such positive feedback to the team members who contributed to the success of your visit.
You will have quite a hard time, as you mention, to place names of ingredients to the tastes, textures and smell in the dishes. Of course you are also more focussed on conversations with one another at the table.
Thank you once again and we do look forward to your next visit once your travels bring you back to Saigon,
Kind regards,
Germ

Dear Noir.-lovers,
Thank you for your review and we enjoyed welcoming you to our restaurant.
I am glad you liked the dinner from service to food.
Since 70% of our sense is sight, in the dark with 30% left for four senses there is indeed an overload on your senses; taste and smell heighten, you will start to touch everything around you and the texture of the food is suddenly more noticeable, also one’s hearing does become intensified.
We take sight quite for granted and you definitely came to the conclusion, or at least confirmed the fact, that we are eating with our eyes.
Indeed, we do recommend our guests to take the same menu, as it enhances the experience; it is nice to talk about and discuss the different ingredients in the menu.
We do look forward to your next visit,
Kind regards,
Germ

Dear Dammerun,
Tusen takk for visiting Noir. Dining in the Dark and taking the time to write a review.
The team and I are pleased you feel the experience is incredibly cool to do.
At Noir. Dining in the Dark, we do our best to give each diner a personalized service and a wonderful dinner when they dine here.
Dining in the dark is indeed more than just a meal; it is a sensory journey that will make you re-evaluate perception of taste and smell, plus providing job opportunities for blind and visually impaired staff.
We always try our best to welcome our guests, however it is definitely recommended to make reservations prior, in order to avoid disappointment, since on many evenings we are being booked up fast.
Thank you for the recommendations and it would be a pleasure to welcoming yourself back too,
Kind regards,
Germ
