Will other Strangers have access to my personal information?

No, your personal information will not be shared with other participants.

If I don't want to fill out the personality questionnaire, can I still sign up for a dinner?

No, all attendees must complete a questionnaire. The questionnaire is used to match and balance tables.

How do you handle dietary restrictions/allergies?

You will be able to list dietary restrictions and allergies in the questionnaire. We will do our best to find restaurants that accommodate you, but we cannot guarantee accommodations for every date.

how do you determine price points for restaurant reservations?

We ask that you provide a range of price points you are comfortable with. We do our best to find restaurants that fit your price range, but we cannot guarantee specific prices at any establishment. Of course, you can order small bites or appetizers if the entrees are outside your price range.

How many Strangers will be at a reservation?

We aim to have 4-6 attendees at each reservation, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6. We also cannot control "no-shows".

$15-$20 per attendee for event reservations and group matchmaking.

What does the service fee include?

The fee includes the matchmaking process of scoring for personality markers, matching the most compatible attendees, and securing the reservation at a local bar or restaurant.

How do I pay for my dinner and/or drinks?

Each participant pays for their dinner and drinks directly to the restaurant. We recommend bringing cash for their share of the bill and gratuity.

Do I have to buy an entree at dinner?

You can order whatever you like from the menu. If you prefer an appetizer or small bites, that is at your discretion. We just ask that you purchase something to support the establishment.

What is the refund policy?

Reservations are non-refundable but can be rescheduled within the next 4 weeks if you notify us by email at least 48 hours before the reservation begins.

If I make a new friend, will you share my info with them?

No, we will never share any personal information with other attendees. If you choose to connect with someone outside Spa City Strangers, that is your personal choice. Please exercise caution.

I love this service and want to use it every week! Is there a discounted rate or membership for multiple dinners?
