PRIVATE DINNERS
A table, a few hours and unhurried conversation. Most introductions begin here, and a good many members arrange nothing else.
An introduction over dinner asks the least of both people. There is a table between you, the evening has a natural shape, and nothing has to be decided in advance.
Tell us where you have reserved. If you have not, ask. Dubai has a great many restaurants that photograph well and serve badly, and rather fewer that are worth an evening. Your companion will know the difference, and she will have a view.
She can meet you at the restaurant or at your hotel, whichever suits. If the room expects a jacket, say so and she will dress for it. She will be on time. If you are delayed, tell us rather than her, and it will be passed on.
Dinner usually runs two to three hours. Anything beyond it is agreed on the night, between the two of you. We neither assume it nor arrange around it.
Two things said plainly. Your name stays between you and us. And photographs are taken by neither of you unless you have both agreed to it first.
Membership is extended selectively through existing members, trusted referral or direct invitation. Private applications may be considered, but acceptance is never automatic.
