Chapter 1 – David and Bonnie opened Delightful Dining in 1998. It was geared toward matchmaking.
Chapter 2 – Brooke took over Delightful Dining in 2001. Over the next 10 years, the focus moved from matchmaking to enjoying dinner with friends. Brooke created an environment where people can have fun if they choose to. She didn’t guarantee that you would have a flourishing social life, just a Delightful dinner at a Delightful restaurant with Delightful dinner companions!
Chapter 3 –In 2018, Cathy took the reins. She continues the path Brooke laid down. Our core mission is seeking out good restaurants in the Western Suburbs of Chicago once per month on Saturday night. Delightful Dining is a dining club for single professionals! That’s it – it’s that simple. We like to go out to dinner, try new restaurants together, meet new friends, relax, and enjoy the company of other singles. After a successful first year, Delightful Dining began experimenting with DD Extra. These are restaurants that are either geographically a bit further away, a lunchtime experience or more unique cuisines.
Chapter 4 – After a year and a half of the Covid 19 Pandemic, Delightful Dining reemerged stronger and more invigorated that ever. We remain a premiere dining club with the goal of finding new and exciting restaurant destinations and creating new and lasting friendships with other singles. Our group is primarily 55+ but all ages are welcome. There are no membership fees or commitments.
Chapter 5 – In 2024, Delightful Dining expanded its scope. We now have lunches as well as dinners to experience the fun and friendships. We go to the same high level restaurants at lunch as we have been for dinner. We will expand the geographic reach of our lunch experiences. We still do not have membership fees or long term commitments. Come to a lunch or dinner and give us a try.
Please come and join us. Make a reservation and give it a try!
