If you're single but tired of the same old dating scene, getting a table for two may still be within your reach.
Table For Two is a recently formed membership-based social dining group that aims to bring single men and women together over dinner at fine restaurants around the area.The idea, billed as the first of its kind for Acadiana, is based on similar groups in larger cities and serves as an alternative to the bar scene or other dating services, said Michele Lavergne, Table for Two owner. "I think people are looking for a new way to meet people that's not online dating, not through a dating service, not speed dating," she said. "So, the advantage is to come together and get to know new people in a relaxed way and enjoy a good meal.
"It's something really different. It's not a dating service. It's not speed dating. It's something completely different than anything else out there."
The group is open to single adult men and women of all ages for a flat membership fee or a cost per event. There are two events planned, the first at Doe's in late January followed by dinner at Bailey's Feb. 17.
Lavergne said a crawfish boil with live music is planned for March.
"I think the worst thing that can happen is that someone is just going to enjoy a good meal at a nice restaurant. They could meet new people or they may meet someone they can connect with."
