What members are saying
Real tables. Real friendships.
“We met at The Pacifico in Biddeford. It was a perfect atmosphere, not too noisy so we could all talk. The food was excellent. We all got an appetizer and shared. We walked to the after party at a local wine bar. We stayed till it closed at 10 and exchanged phone numbers for a group chat. I highly recommend this experience.”
“Super fun and diverse group of folks. Felt like we were friends right off the bat and had a really great time meeting people with different interests. Well worth getting out of your comfort zone to partake in.”
“I really enjoyed the experience. The people in the group were so interesting! The meet up after was in a fantastic bar, which lent itself to good conversation. I will definitely do this again.”
