About this event

Hey foodies 🥘
Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses.
These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not dating gatherings. 🧍♂️ 🧍♀️
Each gathering is held at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy or other reservation platforms 🍱
Our pages are set to $USD.
