Welcome to Friends At Dinner!

Dine Differently: Connect, Share, Enjoy!

At Friends At Dinner, we believe that the good friendships are forged over shared meals, drinks, and games!

We're not just about dining; we're about creating lasting connections through fun and memorable experiences in a cozy home atmosphere. Our dinner parties and events are designed to be the perfect blend of fun, networking, and culinary delight.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Discover Upcoming Dinners: Visit our events page to explore upcoming dinners. Then, sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media to stay updated on future events.

  2. Secure Your Seat: Due to high demand, we operate on a lottery first-come, first-served basis. How to attend an event:

    1. Subscribe to our email list or directly fill out the events sign up form (currently open) to enter the lottery and receive the info.

    2. On the first of every month, we’ll email all subscribers a short form to fill out to enter the lottery. This form will be open for 48 hours.

    3. After the 48-hour window closes, we’ll randomize the applicants and email a group of individuals notifying them they’ve been awarded a seat(s) at the events, to which people will confirm their attendance on a first-come, first-served basis—so don’t wait!

    4. After attendees have signed up and the event is full, Friends At Dinner will email you a second confirmation email with more information and details, such as the menu, house address and what to expect.

      (After the event is full, there may be a small waitlist available for those who won the lottery but didn’t secure a spot in time to wait on.)

  3. Join the Dinner: Show up, dress casually (unless the host states otherwise!), enjoy a fantastic meal, drink, or game, and engage in good times, stimulating conversations, and memorable experiences with your fellow diners and new friends!

If you can't snag a spot immediately, don't worry, we have a waitlist system for those that were initially invited but weren’t quick enough to register. As soon as a spot opens up, we'll inform you right away. Your dinner adventure with new friends is just around the corner!

  • Sometimes! It depends on the particular dinner and its capacity set by the host. We love meeting new faces. If you'd like to bring a guest, make sure to check the description to make sure a guest is allowed. If it doesn’t explicitly say it, then the event is for invitees only.
