Dinner with Newport Beach | Newport Beach

Hey, Entrepreneurs!

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous while on vacation? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. You sign up, and we book the restaurant. Our mission is to host dinners in over 100 cities to bring people together while supporting locally owned businesses. This micro-event is intended to be for 6 people or less each dinner. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

This is not directly associated with the restaurant of the week, but rather based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder for the page. Locations are given to registrants.

How does it work?

After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding age, hobbies, interests, and dietary preferences.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases but simply commits you to not bailing on the group!

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not singles gatherings.

*Try not to sign up the day of. But if you do, please email us first to see if the night you're interested in has enough signups first.

Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone - just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect :) We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human.

If you have any more questions, please contact [email protected]!
