About 8 at 8 Dinner Club
The Concept
The idea is simple – four single men and four single women meet for dinner at eight o’clock for an evening of friendly conversation, good food, and the chance to increase your circle of friends over dinner. Club members are brought together based on age, mutual interest, and backgrounds. The relaxed group setting relieves the pressure of one-on-one dating and increases the chances of meeting someone interesting and compatible.
Sarah Kathryn and the hostess staff are matchmakers who work closely to choose hip restaurants, match like minds, and make dating introductions. We’re the social leaders of each group of singles. To ensure that we stay on the leading edge of dating and matchmaking services, our research involves trying new restaurants, sampling menus, and chatting with singles out on the town.

By my mid 30’s the glitter of being free, flirty and fun was gone and I was ready to BE in a serious relationship. Despite owning a national dating service, I had yet to find true love. After literally decades of dating, I finally took my own advice.
