Anne Fione, a blind woman, likes to come to the restaurant with her husband Jim, who is not blind. "It has helped him realize the difficulties I face every day," she says. "It is also the only restaurant where I don't feel dependent on other people." Anne likes to order the "Mystery Meal" for both Jim and herself. This meal is a mystery because people have to guess what food they have on their plates. Anne always manages to guess what she's eating, but Jim often guesses wrong. "When I can't see the food, it doesn't taste the same," says Jim. "I also need Anne to get the food on my fork. Since we started coming here, I have learned what it feels like to depend on other people."Robert Clark, another blind customer, is glad that the restaurant was opened. He says that dining there has helped strengthen his self-image, since in darkness he functions better than a person who can see.
