I had dinner in the pitch black restaurant

The unusual concept may be familiar to rom com fans, as the restaurant played a key part in About Time, starring Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson. The level of darkness was the most shocking aspect of the entire experience - obviously, I knew it would be dark, but this was next level and I couldn't even see an outline of my hand when I waved it in front of my face.
