For People 23-40 Years Old.  Every week we pick one restaurant in Santa Monica to dine at until we've been to every restaurant in town.  We DO NOT include national fast food chains, but will include smaller Mom and Pop type places and local chains when appropriate;  choosing 1 dive restaurant a month, at least 1 ethnic restaurant a month, and 1 high end ($$$$). Because reservations are often required and out of respect for the restaurants that save us the tables,  only people who show up after R …

LA Dinner Club introduces an exciting new spin to the dining experience. Think the club promoter business model, but for restaurants.
