Great Food & People
This social gathering is a unique, family-style dinner that was created to bring walkers closer together in a casual setting. John Bardeschewski, executive chef at one of Rochester's finest restaurants, Rooney's, is the culinary mastermind. His wife, Kim, acts as his kitchen assistant and hostess. The duo essentially caters the event at different homes around the Rochester area. People can sign up to host an event ($19) while others can sign up to attend ($39/person). This is an incredible dinner value easily worth twice as much, not to mention the new acquaintances you'll meet! Interested in hosting a Table for Twelve? Contact us using this form.

Table for Twelve reinvents the concept of the family dinner. It's a gathering of both friends and strangers. Each dinner is hosted by a different person and served in their home to all the welcome guests. There's a beautiful balance of chaos and comfort as people arrive with bottles of wine in hand, shed their coats, and pour each other a glass. Guests sit on mismatched chairs and eat from eclectic table settings. The tables are adorned with fresh flowers and candles. Soft music plays in the background. Dinner is served family style with guests passing heaping plates of freshly prepared gourmet food. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively. Conversation is contagious as people share stories and toast to the future. Bonds are formed and you feel closer to the people you just shared a meal with. You can show up not recognize a single face at the table, but by the end of the evening you're already friends with six of them. Table for Twelve provides a sense of warmth and community the whole world needs.
