What we’re about
I currently have a successful Meetup group in Manhattan, the "Manhattan Fine Wine and Dine" group. But sometimes I'm out on Long Island and like to eat out at nice restaurants so I'm setting up this group and loosely basing it on my NYC group, sadly without the wine, because I don't want to Uber/Taxi to all the restaurants!
For this group I'd like to host one or two dinners per month, almost always on the North Shore of Nassau County. They will be 6 person dinners. Depending on membership and how this works out, I may increase it to 8 people.
Some of the restaurants I am considering are : Jonathan's in Huntington, 2TwentyFive in Locust Valley, Juniper in Westbury, Cafe Testarossa in Syosset. I'm also open to suggestions!
This will work as follows. A deposit of $25 through PayPal on Meetup will be required to hold your spot. Then at dinner you will be credited with $25 towards your dinner. Cancellations and refunds will only be offered IF someone takes the spot that you originally signed up and paid for. All cancellations will be subject to a $3 convince fee. So think carefully before signing up for a dinner. It is a commitment! Sadly if you are NOT a Meetup+ member, Meetup will charge you an additional $3 for each reservation you make. I can't do anything about that.
At dinner, you are welcome to pay by credit card, providing the restaurant will take multiple cards (which I will know and include in the event description) or cash. Each member will be responsible for paying for their dinner, plus 33% to cover the tax and tip.
When membership reaches 20 plus members, I'll start to schedule events.

See all- First Event! Two25 in Locust ValleyTwo25 Restaurant, Locust Valley, NY$25.00
Time to schedule our first event! Join me at Two25 Restaurant in Locust Valley. They bill themselves as a Modern Italian Cuisine restaurant. I've eaten there before and I love the decor, and the food. There is also plenty of parking near the restaurant. Here is a link to their menu.

This is a 6 person event. A nice number to allow everyone to talk with everyone else at the table.
To reserve your spot, please use your PayPal account to send me $25. This amount will be credited to your dinner bill. Before signing up, please review and understand my cancellation policy. I'm making a reservation at the restaurant and no-shows and cancellations are difficult. Hence the pre-paid deposit.
Some notes and group rules:
NOTE: Meetup chargs a "Partner Fee" that is above and in addition to the listed price of the event. It is annoying and confusing, but there is nothing I can do about it. It comes to approximately $3 more for each RSVP. You will see this charge when you complete your rsvp and pay for the event. Sorry! Meetup+ members are exempt from this charge.You will also have to pay the cost of your food (plus 33% for tax and tip).
Please read and understand the group's cancellation policy. If you take spot, then cancel, and no one else takes the spot, you will not receive a refund or credit. No refunds or credits will be given for no-shows or late cancellations (unless someone else takes your spot). All cancellations are subject to a $3 service fee.
