Matched by humans.
Seated where you belong.
No apps to download, no personality quiz to fake your way through, no infinite scroll. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.
Build your profile
Free. Tells our matchmakers who you are, what you do, and what you're actually looking for. Sarah Kathryn and team read every one personally.
Pick a dinner
Dinners post a month ahead, from Inman Park and Midtown out to Roswell, Alpharetta, and Milton. Most run three tables at staggered times (7, 7:30, and 8), and your matchmaker seats you with the group she thinks you'll click with. Seats are matched, not chosen, so no swiping.
Just show up
Your Eight at Eight hostess greets you at the door, hands you the first drink, and makes the introductions. By dessert you've made new friends, and maybe traded numbers with someone you want to see again.
What actually predicts a second date.
Not a personality quiz. Six things our matchmakers have learned matter most, in the order they matter.
One dinner > 1,000 swipes.
Dating apps
- Judge someone by 6 photos and a Sunday-scaries bio
- Match, message for a week, ghost, repeat
- Meet at a bar you'd never pick, alone, hoping
- No accountability, no filter, no facilitators
- Free, but the cost is your evenings
Eight at Eight
- Matched by real humans who've done this 28 years
- You know the restaurant, the time, and that people show up
- Seven other people in the same boat, so no one's alone
- A hostess handles intros, drinks, and the awkward first minute
- One membership covers the year. First drink on us, dinner on you, and a good meal either way

Your first step is a free profile. A matchmaker takes it from there.
