Meet Your People
Over Dinner

Say "Siena" at one of our curated group dinner restaurants, meet your group, and dive into a 2-hour dinner event. Your £12.99 covers the matchmaking—pay for your food and drinks at the venue.

It secures our AI-driven dinner dating London service—matching, logistics, and support. No hidden costs, just a perfect dinner with strangers.

Let's face it—walking into a room full of strangers can feel daunting, especially in a city as vast and fast-paced as London. Maybe you've felt that pang of anxiety before, wondering if you'll fit in or if the conversation will stall. We hear you, and we've got you covered. Studies show 62% of Londoners think making friends was easier a decade ago—life moves fast, people relocate, and social circles shrink. Siena flips that narrative by creating a space where solo doesn't mean lonely. Picture this: you arrive, slightly jittery, but the table's small—six people total, including you—and everyone's there for the same reason: to connect. Our AI ensures the group's a good fit, mixing ages, backgrounds, and interests so there's always a thread to pull on. The host sets a warm tone, maybe tossing out a fun question like "What's your go-to comfort food?" and suddenly, you're all swapping stories about childhood meals or that one time you burned spaghetti. By the time your starter arrives, that nervousness? Gone. Replaced by the buzz of a night that feels like catching up with old pals, even though you've just met. Siena's not about forcing it—it's about making "alone" the start of something awesome.

London's a treasure trove of dining spots, and we've tapped into that richness to bring you the best. Each week, we partner with a different restaurant—maybe a rustic gem tucked away in Camden with wooden beams and hearty fare, or a chic spot in Southbank where the Thames glints outside the window. These aren't just random picks; we choose venues that excel at hosting group dinners, with tables big enough for six but cozy enough to feel intimate. It's all part of Siena's promise: to take the "Where should I go?" stress out of meeting new people and replace it with "I can't wait to get there."

Safety isn't an afterthought - it's baked into everything we do. We know that meeting strangers can raise questions, so we've built a system to put your mind at ease. Every single attendee is verified - real names, real profiles, real intentions - because we're not about anonymous chaos; we're about genuine connection. Our team reviews registrations to weed out anyone who doesn't align with our values of respect and openness. Then there's the venues: we only work with reputable restaurants, places with solid reputations and staff who know how to create a welcoming space. No dodgy backrooms or sketchy pop-ups here - just established spots where you can relax and be yourself. On the night, our host is your safety net, keeping an eye on the vibe and stepping in if anything feels off (though it rarely does - our crowd's too lovely for that). Whether you're a 20-something venturing out solo or a 40-something dipping a toe back into socializing, Siena's got your back. It's about meeting new people in a way that feels secure, not stressful.

If you've ever felt stuck in a rut, scrolling through meetup apps that promise connection but deliver flakes, Siena's your antidote. Maybe you're new to London, fresh off a move with no local crew yet, or maybe you've been here forever but your old gang's scattered. Perhaps you're 25 and craving a break from the dating scene, or 45 and realizing work's eaten your social life. Siena's for anyone who wants real-life bonds without the slog of digital overload. You don't need to be an extrovert—our small groups and hosted setup make it easy even if you're shy. If "How to meet new friends in London" has crossed your mind more than once, or if you're tired of swiping through apps that feel like a second job, Siena's your fit. It's not about age, job, or postcode—it's about craving connection over a meal. Sound like you? Then yeah, this is your scene.

We're not here to lock you in or guilt-trip you; we want you at the table when you're ready to enjoy it. Can't make this week but still keen? Book for the next Thursday instead - our weekly rhythm means there's always another chance. Flexibility's part of the deal, because real life doesn't run on a perfect schedule, and neither should your social plans.

This is where Siena's secret sauce comes in - our AI isn't just tech, it's a friendship architect. When you sign up, you'll answer a handful of questions: What do you love doing? What's your vibe - chill or chatty? Any passions or pet peeves? Nothing invasive, just enough to paint a picture. Our algorithm takes that and runs with it, cross-referencing your answers with hundreds of others to build a group of six that clicks. It's not random - age, interests, and personalities are balanced so you're not stuck with five clones of yourself or a table of total opposites. Maybe you're a 30-year-old foodie who gets paired with a 27-year-old travel buff, a 35-year-old bookworm, and a 42-year-old music nerd - diverse enough for lively chats, similar enough to bond. The result? A night where conversation flows like the wine (if you order some!). It's smarter than any app's "nearby people" filter, and way more human than a robot matchmaker sounds.

Short answer: No, you pay for your meal at the restaurant—your £12.99 is for the dinner event experience. Long answer: your £12.99 is all about the experience - getting you to that table with the right people. The food and drinks? That's up to you at the restaurant. We don't bundle it in because we want you to have freedom - maybe you're in the mood for a £10 burger, or maybe you're splashing out on a £25 steak. No pre-set menus, no forced choices - just order what you love, pay at the venue, and savor the night. It keeps costs clear and lets the meal be as personal as the connections you'll make.

Our groups are small, so it's not a shouting match, and our AI matches mean you've already got common ground. The restaurant setting helps - food's a natural icebreaker. "What are you ordering?" can spiral into a debate about spicy vs. mild that lasts all night. Plus, our host might toss out a gem like "What's a dish you'd eat every day?" and suddenly you're all laughing about pineapple-on-pizza crimes. You don't need to be a social wizard; the vibe's warm, the table's set, and the strangers? They won't feel strange for long.
