Have you never heard of dark dining or dining in the dark? Seems to me
it was trendy in some ultra-cosmopolitan urban areas in the last 10
years. The servers aren't blindfolded (hopefully!) but the patrons are.
Here's a wiki article:

Dining blindfolded, not something I'd be interested in. My post about
the Club and the eclipse was intended to be facetious. That's why I
included the smilies.

I'm sorry to say I saw a little bit of Bonny Tyler performing her 1983
hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on television. Time and age has not
been good to her vocal cords. The eclipse didn't help, either.
