THIS Month’s RESTAURANT:

Matador - https://www.matadoronmain.com/

A lively new Spanish inspired tapas restaurant in the heart of Carmel, Indiana. Inspired by the traditions of Spain, it features shareable tapas and authentic dishes made for gathering. From crispy Patatas Bravas and classic Pan con Tomate to rich, saffron-scented Paella, each plate is designed to be savored with friends, family, and good conversation. Pair your meal with our signature house-made Sangrias, or sip from a carefully curated wine list and craft cocktail menu at our full bar.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Sign up for the dinner to reserve your spot. It’s $10 to reserve your spot, which covers the curation and includes an appetizer for the table.

2. All food and beverage orders during dinner are paid for individually.

3. Fill out a brief profile (so we can match you with humans that you have similarities with)

4. Wait for your restaurant and table info. You will be notified 1-2 hours from the dinner date.

5. Show up to the dinner. Each table with consist of 5-6 strangers. Make new friends with conversation prompts and ice breakers, then pay for your own bill.

6. After dinner, stick around and socialize with the other tables, and view compatibility match scores with everyone.

This is an intimate, curated dinner series that brings restaurant recommendations to life. It’s all about supporting local restaurants, discovering new places across the city, and meeting people who love trying new things just as much as you do.
