Diana and my friend Ian engage a formless body, which turns out to be the waitress. She explains that all the waiters are visibly impaired. "And the chef?" I inquire innocently. Cue: another much deserved slap, possibly from Diana, possibly from the waitress.

;D

I give it six months... noooo:

I know I'm just a cynic. ::)

Visually impaired I can understand. Visibly impaired has nothing to do with eyesight.

Perhaps because it is dark, everyone talks loudly, which prompts a waitress to shout: "Be quiet!" Charming.

Is the dark room monitored by CCTV cameras?

Yes, we do film the room with infrared cameras and keep records to ensure visitors' welfare and safety. Please be assured that we only watch the records in case of an incident or on customer request.
