A video capturing a restaurant staff's inclusive surprise for a blind patron on her birthday went viral.

TikTok user Natalie Te Paa was celebrating her special day at Gino D'Acampo's Luciano restaurant in London when she was presented with something not on the regular dessert menu.

Placed in front of Te Paa was a plate of melted pieces of chocolate spelling out, "Happy birthday," in Braille—the tactile writing system designed for the visually impaired.

A video of Te Paa's joyful response was posted on her TikTok page, where it racked up 8.7 million views in 24 hours, according to Indy 100.

I’ll never forget this moment. #braille #blind #blindtiktok #viralvideo

Te Paa wrote in text on the video:

"So I'm totally blind and this is the moment I realized the lengths the restaurant staff went to in order to wish me Happy Birthday."

When she was given the chocolate surprise, a waiter told her:

"We want to wish you a happy birthday."

Te Paa's friend, who was sitting across from her, asked for the birthday girl's hand so she could place it on the raised chocolate dots.

The moment she realized what the establishment did for her, she exclaimed:

"No freaking way."
"They did not!"

Te Paa continued with effusive glee:

"You guys are amazing."

Another text in the video read:

"They had the chef write Happy Birthday in BRAILLE!!!... using melted chocolate."

TikTokers were moved by the inclusive gesture and felt all the feels sorely lacking in our current climate.

The viral clip was also shared on Twitter, where users got out their Kleenex.








D'Acampo, the Italian-British celebrity chef and media personality who owns Luciano, also acknowledged Te Paa's birthday on the TikTok post.

Te Paa thanked him and wrote:

"Between the filming of this night, I was in floods of tears! So blown away by this team."

Happy birthday, Natalie.

We hope it was the best birthday yet!

Pete Hegseth Roasted After His Placard At Cabinet Meeting Includes Hilariously Fitting Typo

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was widely roasted after eagle-eyed social media users couldn't help but notice a glaring and fittingly Nazi-esque typo on Hegseth's placard during President Donald Trump's Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

Hegseth’s nameplate listed his position as “Secretary of War,” reflecting Trump’s effort to rechristen the Pentagon with an old-world title for the Defense Department.

Trump Just Epically Threw JD Vance Under The Bus While Trying To Insult Tim Walz—And Yikes!

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump seemingly revealed his true feelings about his Heritage Foundation-chosen Vice President JD Vance during a recent rambling attempt to slam Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz. Vance was in the room at the time that the POTUS called him "incompetent."

Handed a setup by a Trump administration-friendly member of the White House press corps about an investigation into the fraudulent use of COVID relief funds in Minnesota—which Pam Bondi's Department of Justice has been focusing on while ignoring similar crimes in red states, Trump began by ranting about Somali immigrants, again, before attacking Governor Walz, again.

Megyn Kelly Slammed After Sharing Her Sadistic Desire To See People On Suspected Drug Boats 'Suffer'

Right-wing talk show host Megyn Kelly was criticized after she revealed she not only supports the Department of Defense's attacks on alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean but wants anyone aboard these boats to "suffer," even saying that she hopes they "lose a limb and bleed out" slowly.

Kelly spoke after a Washington Post investigation published last week alleging that in September Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed a U.S. strike unit to eliminate everyone aboard a single vessel. According to the report, after two people were later spotted alive in the wreckage, commanders authorized a follow-up “double tap” strike to ensure their deaths.
