How the night works

  1. Arrive solo, or with a friend.

    Your host checks you in, hands you a welcome drink and gets the conversation going.

  2. Three courses, family style.

    A shared menu at a restaurant you've been meaning to try. Real conversation, no pitches.

  3. Switch seats between courses.

    By dessert, you've talked to almost everyone at the table.

Questions

Can I come alone?

Yes, and most people do. Every dinner is built for meeting new people, and your host makes sure everyone's included from the moment you check in.

What's the age range?

Everyone is welcome. Most of our guests are between 25 and 40, but that's a pattern, not a rule.

What's included in the ticket?

A multi-course meal, a welcome drink at most events, and a host who runs the night.

What if a dinner is sold out?

Join the list. We add new dates regularly, subscribers hear first, and seats sometimes open up from cancellations.
