What we’re about

This group is for anyone looking to eat, drink, talk, laugh...and meet new people. Make some new friends, greet the old ones and break bread with us.:)

We tend to do smaller events, are open to venue suggestions, we are not a singles or a couples group - we welcome all. Our events/conversations/ hours are normally geared towards adults but we will leave that up to the parents to decide.

We do try for separate checks and please remember to tip venues staff - we want to be welcomed back.

We do ask that the RSVP's are kept as current as possible and for members to be respectful of others.

No Show Policy for the Madison Dining Out Group

Hi, Madison Dining Out Group Members!

We want to let you know about a new policy we are enforcing within the group. The organizers have had some issues with people RSVPing for events and then not showing up, specifically for events with an attendance limit and waitlist. This is frustrating for us as organizers, for the restaurants and staff who hold a certain size table and then loose $$ for the food and tips, and for other members of our group that are on the waitlist and would really like to attend<a>. Therefore, anyone with 4 no-shows to our attendance limited events will be automatically blocked/removed from the group.</a>

We also ask that you try not to change your RSVP last minute, especially for those events with a waitlist, as it’s hard for people to attend when they find out they’ve been moved to the “going” list with little to no notice before the event start time. We understand that certain circumstances and emergencies arise, so please feel welcome to reach out to us if/when this happens. We want everyone to be able to enjoy our events, which is why we decided to start this policy.

Thank you!
