Dinner with strangers.

That is either the start of a new friendship or three hours learning how someone feels about cilantro.

“Vista Social Club Monthly | Foodies + New Friends” advertises dinners with no more than 10 people at a table. The organizer says it chooses a restaurant based on participants’ tastes.

Eventbrite lists Friday, October 2, 2026, at 7 p.m. as the next Vista date.

One detail is missing.

The restaurant.

“Restaurant of the Month” Is Not an Address

That is what the listing calls its location.

Eventbrite’s search results also show “Oak Drive Villas” beside the event. That is an area label, not a confirmed dinner venue.

The organizer says its map pin is a placeholder. It tells guests not to go there.

Which is helpful. Dinner is awkward enough without accidentally arriving somewhere that has no idea you are coming.

The organizer says it arranges a table reservation rather than running an event with the restaurant. No restaurant for October 2 has been publicly named. The listing does not say when guests will receive the address.

Before you set out, ask where the table actually is.

Your phone cannot navigate to “we’ll let you know.”

A Ticket Does Not Buy Dinner

Guests pay the restaurant directly for their own food and drinks. Registration is a separate expense.

Foodies + New Friends also advertises a $30 monthly membership for access to dinners across its cities. That is a separate offer, not the confirmed price of a single Vista Eventbrite ticket.

The current one-time ticket total, including any fees, has not been independently verified.

The organizer describes these as friendship dinners, not dating events. It warns that someone signing up on the day might find the table full. If too few people are interested, a reservation might not move forward.

So the October listing tells you when the organizer hopes to gather.

It does not confirm that a restaurant has set the table.

A Series Looking for Its Vista Table

Foodies + New Friends is part of a wider Ermantourage dinner series offered in multiple cities.

Its Vista page says it is enrolling people and coordinating to get dinners going. That wording leaves an important question open: has the monthly Vista dinner actually happened yet?

The public information reviewed does not confirm one. It also does not identify a Vista restaurant that has hosted the group or include an account from a local attendee.

There is a separate weekly Vista listing in the same event family. That one advertises groups of six or fewer. The monthly listing allows up to 10.

Same general pitch.

Different table.

The concept has charm. Meet a few people over a meal without cleaning your house or pretending a name tag is a conversation starter.

Before paying, confirm the ticket total, whether the reservation is going ahead and when the address will arrive.

Save the mystery for the people you meet.
