Dinner with Strangers: Jacksonville | A Night Out with New Friends

Hey, Jacksonville.

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. All walks of life welcome! Don't do city life alone and build your community with us.

Brought to you by event series Ermantourage by Erman Baradi.

You can also take a look at our main event calendar via Posh for coffee meets, evening hangouts, and more!

How does it work?

1. After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding dietary restrictions that we use to select restaurants. (If you sign up within 24 hours of the gathering, we may already have the restaurant selected).
*This time, we made a table reservarion at River & Post via Opentable.

2. If you register for membership, you'll be added to our membership database through December 31st, 2025. We will connect with members continuously to organize dates and times to host our dinner meetups.

3. Since we're all strangers from the beginning, we'd like to get to know you first before you join us for outings. Let's schedule a quick Zoom chat to get acquainted!

*Your membership ticket does not include your individual food and drink purchases.

*The pin on the map is not the location for dinners, but simply a default placeholder Eventbrite gives us when we select your city as a location.

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These aren't singles gatherings.

*An ideal evening consists of 4 diners minimum.

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.
