What we’re about
The purpose of Melbourne Dining Out is to explore the many and various restaurants in Melbourne, mainly in the City and inner suburbs.
We are doing this as an interest. We give our time freely and gain nothing financially. Our passion is going out on the town to have a nice meal and a couple of drinks in the company of others, and meeting new people, no matter who they are.
Guidelines:
It is totally inappropriate to do a ‘no-show’, that is to book for an event and simply not turn up. It is fully understandable that circumstances change at the last minute; however every effort should be made to change your booking. You may appreciate that with large group bookings sometimes a deposit is required by the restaurant to confirm the booking, and some restaurants may require no shows to be paid for. Additionally given the popularity of some events often there is a waiting list, so by updating your RSVP to NO allows a fellow member to attend if you cannot make it. If you are unable to change your booking online, please call or text (with your name). My phone number is posted on every event that I host.
Please remember what drinks you had at the restaurant when it comes to paying the bill, as most restaurants will not allow drinks to be purchased at the bar.
The purpose of Melbourne Dining Out is a social group for those that enjoy exploring different restaurants and eating out. We understand it is also a great way to meet new people and make new friends, which often happens, however it is not a dating or matchmaking service. Neither is it strictly for singles. Everyone is welcome and we have a number of couples who attend with and sometimes without their partner. We understand the Laws of Attraction can still come into play regardless, however please be respect others’ boundaries and be careful of whom you flirt with!
