Dining in the Dark
/We just finished hosting our third Dining in the Dark dinner at M’tucci’s Twenty-Five and plan to do more. Is it a gimmick? No, it’s more of an opportunity to challenge and surprise your taste buds. The M’tucci’s chefs, led by Company Chef Shawn Cronin, create a secret 3-Course meal which guests eat while blindfolded in a darkened dining room.
After each course, one of M’tucci’s chefs will talk about what you have just eaten and the reasoning behind creating the dish.
The meal consists of an appetizer, a main and a dessert. You choose a meat, seafood or vegan menu and you have the option to pair your experience with wine, or you can order beer and cocktails from the bar.
The next two dinners are February 8 & 15 at M’tucci’s Twenty-Five (for all of you who couldn’t get reservations for the 14th). Click here to learn more and enjoy the photos from last night’s dinner.
