    Mary,

    Dinners range from $75-$95. Five courses with wine pairings and a signature cocktail hour.

    Cheers,

    Patrick

    Hey Pat, just want to reiterate how impressed we were with the dinner. The food and wine were incredible and we had a great time. Thanks again.

    Patrick,

    I want to compliment you on an amazing event you guys put on this weekend. That was certainly something special that you gave those in attendance, and I think the buzz you created will certainly help the two restaurants as well as dinner party. I am sure that planning took a lot out of you, and the next event will probably be a few months off (and smaller in scale).

    Thanks!

    Very, very impressive, Patrick. Really an uber upped ante. The setting was superb (thank you, Lord, for the weather!!!), the cast of chefs impressive, the group of diners rose to the occasion. The chevre cheese cake in group 4 was really one of the best deserts I’ve had in the ATL, and I’m not a dessert person. You folks pulled off a culinary woodstock!

    kudos!

    Well done, sir. Well done.

    Patrick, thanks so much for hosting Scoutmob tonight. Me and my fiancée thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the hard work setting it all up.

    The couple next to us had heard about it thru Scoutmob.

    Anything we can do to help…just ask.

    Patrick -

    Congratulations on a job EXTREMELY well done. We, and everyone around us, had a fantastic time. The food, wine, and setting were perfect, and it was a blast. You picked a great line-up of up and coming chefs, and created an event that was truly one of a kind.

    We are really fortunate to have Dinner Party in Atlanta – you guys have built an amazing program. Take a few minutes to congratulate yourself on putting together what was, I am sure, an incredibly challenging and stressful, and insanely successful, event. You deserve it!

    Ted and Alison

  14. Veronica, May 5, 2010 at 3:54 pm

    We enjoyed the event very much, sat with some really nice people, and loved the food and wine.

    The setting was beautiful, and it was lucky that the weather cooperated, and made for a lovely evening.

    Congratulations, and I can’t wait for your next event.

  15. Michele, May 5, 2010 at 3:49 pm

    Hey Patrick, Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the May Day dinner party. It was a spectacular culinary event ! You did an excellent job …Congrats …everything from the food and wine pairings to the ambience and patrons were truly spot on. Thanks, Brad

    TO: Patrick, Darren, Shane
    and all who had a hand in Saturday Night’s Piedmont Park Dinner,

    Much will be written about that spectacular evening – I’ll keep it short and sweet:
    Perfection!

  19. Andrea & Tim Peters, February 7, 2010 at 10:39 pm

    Patrick, Darren and Shane – Thank you for a WONDERFUL time on Friday night. The food was amazing, and Valerie’s wine pairings were inspired. We truly enjoyed the atmosphere and the company, as well. What a fabulous idea. If you’ll have us, we will be back!

  20. admin, February 6, 2010 at 5:25 pm

    Kate, it is best for people with allergies to contact us at patrick@dinnerpartyatlanta.com a week in advance so we can try and accommodate them. Cheers, Patrick

  22. Kate, February 5, 2010 at 1:12 pm

    How do you handle food allergies?

    Dinner Party – Jan, 29, 2010:

    “Shane, Shane, Shane – king of foods!”, is what I say. Along with perfect wine parings brought to you by Valerie are all the delicacies you would dream of wrapped in 1 night of splendor.
    Patrick & Darren have really created something special for Atlanta & I intend to keep this party at the top of MY list. Everything was divine – and it was my pleasure capturing these delicious moments!
    I am looking forward to more from these guys & anxious to see what will become of their NEWEST baby being born on Edgewood & Boulevard…
    cheers!!!

    Friday, January 29th dinner party ROCKED. The pictures will be posted on Facebook. Cheers, Paddy.

  25. Bill & Pat Laverty, December 28, 2009 at 2:20 pm

    What an enjoyable and unique dining experience! The food was clearly at the fine dining level, elegantly matched with wine selections. Chef Shane’s commentary on the courses was informative and appreciated, as was the Sommelier’s (Valerie) commentary on the wine selections. Equally pleasant was the company of the party at both the cocktail gathering and dinner. We thought the spontaneous and genuine applause for our hosts at the conclusion of the evening said a lot about the collective experience. Thanks for a great evening; we look forward to future adventures.

    Harmony, our photographer, got some GREAT pictures of last Fridays dinner. They will posted on our facebook site tomorrow afternoon. facebook.com/dinnerpartyatl

  27. admin, December 21, 2009 at 1:41 pm

    Thank you again to all of you who attended last Friday nights dinner party. Those of you who were there were an absolute blast and took Dinner Party Atlanta out of 2009 on a high note!! Your dinner party, as you all know, was definitely UNIQUE..

    We look forward to meeting more of you in 2010. Darren, chef Shane and myself are excited, to say the least, about the coming year. More great food, company and dinner party locations are in the works..to be sure.

    Cheers and Happy Holidays to you all…

    Patrick

  28. Jonie, December 19, 2009 at 10:45 am

    A perfect evening! Such a space, such a view ! Dinner was beyond delicious – I dreamed of velvety cauliflower soup and all that went before and after. Thank you to the Dinner Party team of magnificent professionals. To all of the delightful guests, thank you for the holiday pleasure of your company, Best Wishes, Merry Christmas. May we meet again.
    Jonie

    The December 18th location has been locked down. Stay tuned… Cheers

  30. Tom, November 14, 2009 at 12:11 pm

    Had a wonderful time and a wonderful dinner on the 6th. Thank you!

  31. Jamie, November 11, 2009 at 8:28 am

    I just read the “Atlantan” article – followed up with a peek back at your Nov. 6th dinner menu – most impressive.
    It would seem you are indeed the toast of the town.
    So, I’ll add mine: “CHEERS right back to you!”
    See you soon – you can be sure of that.
    Jamie

  32. admin, November 9, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    Thank you Quality Wines & Spirits, Atlanta. The wine pairings were PERFECT. THANK YOU VALERIE….

  33. admin, November 9, 2009 at 2:32 pm

    Emmye (Fusion Design Group, Atlanta) and Mitch, YOU ROCK!! The space was absolutely perfect last Friday. The response from our guests was off the charts! Cheer- Patrick, Darren & Chef Shane

  34. admin, October 29, 2009 at 1:23 pm

    It appears a second dinner party date in November may not feasible due to scheduling conflicts. We are doing our best to make sense of these conflicts but do not want sacrifice quality for the sake of volume. Cheers, Patrick

  35. Katie, October 4, 2009 at 9:47 pm

    Patrick et. al. — It was a wonderful evening at your Atlanta Dinner Party on Oct. 2. What a treat for us visiting Texans. We will be talking about our fine dining experience for some time to come. Food and wine were exceptional. Thank you!

  36. admin, October 3, 2009 at 4:17 pm

    Special thanks to Amir Farokhi for letting us use his space last night. The view of the city was spectacular and our guests were a blast! Cheers, Patrick

  37. Jeff, October 3, 2009 at 8:29 am

    I concur with Ted. Last night’s party was amazing!

  38. Ted, October 3, 2009 at 12:13 am

    Fantastic experience tonight! Great wine, phenomenal food, brilliant location, and amazing people. Can’t wait for the next one.

  39. Michele, September 30, 2009 at 11:50 am

    Brillant! Can’t wait to attend one!

  40. Peggy Normandin, September 28, 2009 at 12:33 am

    Good luck to you all on this promising new venture.
    Peggy

  41. Teddy, September 23, 2009 at 1:02 am

    Brilliant! This sounds like so much fun!

  42. Jonie, September 22, 2009 at 8:21 pm

    I have heard the happy buzz from some very enthusiastic September 18th Dinner
    Party guests. It sounded perfect! Can’t wait to join the lucky circle around one of your
    tables very soon.
    Congratulations to you and fondest good wishes for Dinner Party Atlanta.

  43. Katie, September 21, 2009 at 9:27 pm

    Congratulations to Patrick and Darren on the launch of a most innovative concept in fine dining. All the best to you for a successful future. Jim and I hope to be at your table sometime in the not too distant future.

  44. Patrick, September 20, 2009 at 7:03 pm

    Mary Lynne! Thank you for checking us out. If last Friday night is any indication of what’s to come, this should be a blast for all involved. Providing we have the space, we have absolutely no problem accommodating a single reservation. Capturing a wide array of the Atlanta demographic can only elevate the evening. As for a dinner party night in ol’ Orange County (California), I am not sure. It is definitely something I should mull over with my partner (Do you know of any space in .. say, Huntington Beach??) Cheers’, Patrick

  45. Mary Lynne, September 20, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    Congratulations, Patrick! What a fabulous idea! But then I knew you’d come up with something uniquely, wonderfully delish. Two questions — can singles join in the Dinner Party? And when are you planning one in Orange County? Best of luck to you and your partner.

  46. Patrick, September 18, 2009 at 2:53 am

    Newport Beach Nana (West Coast ambassador to Dinner Party), you rock! We would love to host you!

  47. Marie J. Griffith, September 18, 2009 at 1:07 am

    The SoCals en masse are sending you best wishes on this creative endeavor. It sounds like it is worth a special trip to Atlanta. God Bless !

  48. Patrick, September 17, 2009 at 11:16 pm

    Jim, the available upcoming dates will be up on the site Tuesday, September 22nd. Cheers, Patrick

  49. Morgan, September 17, 2009 at 4:23 pm

    I knew you two were up to something!! Can’t wait to make it to a dinner. Good luck this Friday, boys.

  50. Jim, September 16, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    When is the next date so I can sign up?

  51. Mark, September 16, 2009 at 12:01 pm

    Sounds fun! Love the concept. Good luck with the kickoff dinner!
