We had a lot of fun last month, one diner said; "I had a great time with my group! It was a great way to meet new people, and try a new restaurant. I have recommended the Vibe Dinner Club to all my friends "

This month, The Vibe Dinner Club is heading to Hess Village on Tuesday, November 17, for the last dinner club before the holidays.

Start your season celebrations with great food and great company. It’s easy, take the quick quiz, get matched with five other locals, and find out the morning of the 17th which Hess Village restaurant you’re headed to. After dinner, everyone meets up at a secret spot nearby to keep the night going.

You can bring a friend if you don’t want to come by yourself but you have to book by Sunday 15th - book your seats now.
