So, thanks for visiting and we hope to see you soon – not that you will see us – as you will be Dining in the Dark!

To start the year off we’re back to the Taste of Chocolate Festival in Harvard Square with dinners at Nubar and Upstairs on the Square both with a chocolate theme and February dinners almost finished planning.  Happy New Year and we hope to see not seeing us, at a Dining in the Dark dinner soon!
