About us
Dining Table Talk – Men & Women 50+
At the heart of our group are monthly dinners for 30–40 people at some of the best restaurants in New Jersey, along with occasional smaller
by-invitation dinners intimate enough for everyone to share one table. We also mix things up with unusually fun experiences that I personally curate. I also host a backyard party twice a year, which we love...
Over time, I’ve built a friendly welcoming community, with many people returning again and again - and we love welcoming new people. Whether you come on your own or with someone else, the idea is simple: great food, interesting people and experiences worth getting out for.
Come for the dinner or experience — and stay for the friendship!

AN ENCORE EVENT IN LISA’S BACKYARD — LIVE MUSIC, FIRE PITS & COMFORT FOOD!
Location not specified yetOur September 19 Backyard BBQ was such a hit that many of you asked if we could do it again — especially after hearing Matt Hartke perform.
Matt was one of the highlights of the afternoon. Everyone raved about his talent, incredible range and the variety of music he played. He’s a recording artist and platinum-selling Billboard Top 40 songwriter whose credits include Adam Lambert, The Chainsmokers, and many others. He plays originals, familiar favorites, takes requests, and this time he’ll perform for a full 3-hours because two hours went by much too quickly!
We’ll give this encore a cozy October feel with fire pits, warming comfort food, great live music and cornhole set up for anyone who wants to play.
Date Saturday, October 17 • 3 PM until… | Rain Date: Sunday, October 18

This longtime Watchung favorite has built an outstanding reputation for excellent food, attentive service and its beautiful lakeside setting. The reviews are consistently glowing, and it is easy to see why so many people return again and again.
Family-owned since opening in 2004, Water & Wine serves contemporary American cuisine with an Italian influence. The menu includes seafood, steak, house-made pastas, creative appetizers, beautiful salads and seasonal specialties, with plenty of choices for different tastes. Their wine program is also highly regarded and has received Wine Spectator recognition for many years.
We have many members who join our dinners regularly, along with people attending for the first time, so you will feel very welcome whether you know people already or are coming on your own.
