What we’re about
We are a group of friendly people who just like to enjoy a good meal with others doing the same. We discover hidden gems but still enjoy going back to some that members have loved. We've been dining out all over the Detroit metro area for more than 20 years. Its a big dinner table and all are welcome. Discover great little restaurants while meeting new people. We meet, we eat, we sip, we savor and enjoy good conversation. We discover new faces and places, we discover old gems. We gather and meet all over SE Michigan.
One thing we don't allow is all that high school drama that other groups seem to have problems at time. Our organizers take their own time to set up all the meals and remind the attendees about those meals. We take other members complaints seriously. So don't worry if you seen problems in other groups, we are drama free by the rules the owner of the group will enforce for the good of all in the group.
"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." --Virginia Woolf

See all- Christmas Eve Dinner at Fogo de Chão in TroyFogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, Troy, MI
Join us to celebrate the holiday season at one of the most popular places on our restaurant rotation. I was there the Christmas Eve 2019 with a meetup group and everyone had fun. If you are like me, away from family or want to have a reason to take a break from family, lets celebrate together. Come in holiday dress if you want. I look forward to seeing a full table.
Here's the menus: main Adult Drinks Desserts
As normal, please get on the going list ONLY IF YOU WANT TO EAT THERE and not just saving it on your calendar just in case nothing better comes along. Dropping out the week before does count against your total of no shows or late drops. Even if you switch yourself to not going at the last minute, we can still list you as a NO SHOW after the meal. We need to be fair to other members, we have over 600, the staff and owners of the restaurant, and all of organizers of meet up groups that are now having a hard time scheduling events because of no shows. I cut off RSVP 24 hrs before the meal. You will be asked to confirm the week before and if you don’t, you will be moved to not going.
If you are on the waiting list don’t give up if you really want to go. The wait list has disappeared lately to give up openings a few days before for late sign ups. I also try to make a way to add to the reservation if I can. I have found that when I have more than 8, I am lucky to get 8 people even with a longer wait list. I can’t use our Meet Up name since on shows at those meals have made the restaurants not to give Meet Up groups reservations.
- Christmas Lunch at Kona Grill in Troy30 E Big Beaver Rd, Troy, MI
After talking to a few of our members, I decided on Kona Grill since it is in the center of our membership and easy to get to besides having good food with lots of choices. I have a standard table for 8 but remember if we have people on the waiting list that really want to go, I will see what I can do. Lets celebrate the holiday with friendly people and be thankful that awful relative is not there (we all have at least one or two of those)
