Foodies + New Friends: Irvine | 2026 Dinner Club

Calling all foodies! 🍱

Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. You sign up, and we book the restaurant. Be part of our weekly restaurant experience: a different week, a different location!

Our mission is to host dinners in multiple cities to bring people together while supporting locally owned businesses. Each weekly micro-gathering is intended to be for 6 members or less. 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 or other online platforms. The pin 📌 on the map on Eventbrite is just a placeholder as each outing takes place at a different location, so please don't go there. We coordinate locations via email with members. Feel free to contact us with questions prior to signing up.

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 membership for 2026. It also helps our team's endeavors.

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

🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️

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]!
