Spoil your sweetie the day before Valentine's Day with an experience of sensitivity never experienced before, taking a journey of taste, sound and touch all while in the dark. In this age of information overload, visual stimulation has reached an all time high. But imagine that you cannot see, that you are abandoning vision in exchange for a new, more stimulating dining experience - this is "Dining in the Darke."
Guests are welcome to arrive at Montage Cafe in dowtown Greenville at 7 pm on Friday, February 13. They will be seated and given a uniquely constructed blindfold called a "Mindfold." Once everyone is in total "darkeness" they will be offered a drink from a select list of wine and beer. When the 3-course gourmet meal, a menu specially designed by Montage chef/owner Aaron Cox, is brought into the dining room, guests will enjoy an experience of taste, smell, touch and sound they will never forget. So that participants will truly need to use all senses other than sight to determine what it is they are eating, the menu will be revealed at the end of the dinner.
"The board members of Main Street Greenville are excited for the opportunity to bring such an out of the ordinary event to Darke County," says Amber Schmerge, Executive Director. "While doing research on dark dining, we found that it happens in major cities for up to three times the cost we're offering here in Greenville. We're looking forward to an interesting evening," she concluded. The ticket price of $40 a person includes two alcoholic beverages, dinner and dessert.
To reserve your seat, please call Main Street Greenville at 937.548.4998 or purchase tickets at Montage Cafe, 527 S. Broadway, Greenville Mon-Sat. 8 am-4 pm.
