MEET TABLE 315: CENTRAL NEW YORK’S DINNER CLUB DESIGNED FOR YOU TO MEET PEOPLE AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS
Come for the dinner. Come back for the people.
Our concept: Strangers sit down for dinner.
Whether you’re new in town, new to trying this, or new to putting yourself out there, if you’re looking to find your people in Central New York, this is for you.
Most guests at Table 315 show up alone to dinner club and start as strangers. You take a personality quiz. We seat you with a few others, reveal the restaurant that morning, and let good conversation do the rest.
Our events take place monthly on Wednesdays and Thursdays in rotating cities and towns throughout Central New York
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps from stranger to regular.
Take the quiz.
Tell us how you like to talk, what you want in friends, and what you want from the night. We also ask about budget and allergies. This quick quiz matches you with people you’re likely to click with based on personality traits, and overall interests so you’re not doing this alone.
Get matched.
We build tables of 4-6 people, each at a different restaurant. This allows us to help support multiple restaurants with reservations mid week. Going with a friend? Add a +1 and you’ll sit together.
Find out where.
Your restaurant is revealed the morning of. The morning of the event you’ll receive a text with your restaurant details. Your ticket will always share the general location but the surprise element is part of the experience - embrace the fun!
Stay for the secret after party.
About an hour in, every table learns the after party location. Join in if you’d like for the chance for all dinner guests to meet up. The after party location is intended to be in walking distance or a short drive from your dinner location. Come back next month and we’ll reshuffle the tables.
UPCOMING DINNERS
Grab your seat.
Your $15.99 ticket covers the matching and the event experience. You’ll be placed at a curated table based on your responses from the personality questionnaire. Dinner is ordered and paid for at the restaurant. Seats are limited, and tables close when they fill.

OUR STORY
I started a dinner club to make friends I couldn’t find in Central New York.
People say there’s nothing to do here. Events exist but it’s hard to find an event where you can go alone and actually meet people. Table 315 bridges that gap.
So I built a dinner where going alone is the point. Most dinner club guests at your table come by themselves. We seat you with a few others, tell you the restaurant that morning, and all you have to do is show up hungry.
-Alyx, Founder
A reason to go
A dinner on the calendar is easier to say yes to than “we should meet people.”
A seat already saved
No hovering at the edge of a room. Your table is waiting when you walk in.
People who came for the same thing
Everyone showed up wanting to meet someone. That makes the first hello easy.
