About this Event

Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. You sign up, and we book the restaurant. A different day, a different location!

Our mission is to host dinners in multiple cities to bring people together while supporting locally owned businesses. Each micro-gathering is intended to be for 4 -6 diners maximum. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

This is not directly associated with the restaurant we've selected for the week, but simply based on a table reservation via Opentable. 🍴

Our pages are set to $USD.

Coverage:
Cincinnati Magazine interview

Good Morning Washington interview

Here’s our feature on Fox 11 Los Angeles!

How does it work?

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. A paid ticket simply makes you more committed to actually showing up, supports our team's endeavors, and contributes to The Comeunity Project (see below for info).

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not dating gatherings. πŸ§β€β™‚οΈ πŸ§β€β™€οΈ

*If you sign up the day of, there's a risk of already reaching our maximum attendees for the night, or not having enough interest to move forward with a table reservation. Simply email [email protected] for info prior to signing up if you'd like.


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. πŸ€–

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

Testimonials:

"It was so great! I will share pictures of food and if you need anywhere to share the experience! You did it better than AI! All of us were from different parts of the world, somehow having similar interests even though the age was different. Super cozy and friendly and amazing. We had one birthday (Persephone) so we gave her a cake!Thanks for hosting and looking forward to more events!" -Korina from Munich

"Hey, just wanted to give an update months later. I ended up forming a long term friend from this event and am very grateful. Thank you for helping set it up!" - Daritza from Austin

β€œIt was a great event, Erman - thanks -- great group, friendly environment, and a really good way to be introduced to people.... β€œ - Ron from NYC, dinner with creatives edition

β€œThe organizers did a great job coordinating this event. It was a great selection of people, good vibes all around, and such a fun time. Perfect if you’re looking to connect and make new friends!” -Eden from Los Angeles

β€œI went in not knowing what to expect, but this ended up being such a great experience. The group was fun and easy to connect with, and the overall vibe felt very natural, not forced or awkward at all. We had great conversations, lots of laughs, and I genuinely enjoyed meeting everyone. We’ve even stayed in touch and plan to meet up again, which says a lot. Would absolutely do this again.” -Claudia from Miami
