Fine Dining for Magnificent Minds & Playful Souls

For those who savor growth as much as cuisine... We’re a community of accomplished, growth-minded Gen X career professionals who gather at Philly’s finest restaurants to share delicious food, refined atmosphere, inspired conversation, and authentic connection.

Each dinner blends elegance, laughter, and lifelong learning - fine dining for the body, mind, and soul - where we believe that creativity, laughter, and learning pair perfectly with a great meal...

... and that life tastes better when it’s experienced together and playfully.

Who We Are:

• Gen Xers (roughly mid-40s, 50s, to early-60s)
• Established in career or craft, grounded yet still expanding
• Lovers of quality - cuisine, culture, conversation, and life
• Emotionally intelligent, open-minded, lifelong learners

What to Expect:

• Monthly dinners at top Philadelphia venues & beyond
• Conversations that blend insight, new ideas, career, and the art of living well.
• Small gatherings (4–8 guests) for genuine dialogue and easy connection
• Elegant but unpretentious atmosphere; sophisticated, not stiff or snooty
