Dinner Gild
Some of the great dinners coming up...
February 23rd: A Dinner Gild prepared Sunday Brunch is on the Books Again! Same menu as last time with some added goodies. It will also be served as a buffet this time and reservations are still required! We will be serving Seasoned Cream Cheese Egg Bake, and French Toast Bake and will add Shrimp and Grits, and Sausage Gravy with Biscuits. They will be served with Bacon, Tater Tots, Bagels and Biscuits, Apple-Pear-Cranberry-Walnut Salad, Orange Juice, Mimosas, Bloody Mary Bar, and a Hot Chocolate Bar. The bar opens at 10, buffet at 10:30.
March 1st: The Swim Club is back again. They are cooking Chicken Stir Fry, served with a Mandarin Orange Salad, Lo Mein Noodles with Fortune Cookies for Dessert. Vegetarian options will be announced later.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
Attention Permanent Diners!!! We will keep you on the list from last year. Please let us know if you don't want to be on the list again this year. Please let us know if you'd like to be added to the list.
A big goal of ours continues to be to bring back more of an intergenerational feel to the dinners. Please see below for news about our Saturday Club and also note that kids 16 and under now eat for free (Thanks Jill Althouse-Wood for creating the Saturday Club!)
NEW CASHIER PROCESS: We will not be taking payments as people arrive. Please wait until you are going through the line to pay for your meal.
Kids meals to start the season: Kids can choose from a Hamburger, Veggie Burger, or Hot Dog and French Fries. They may also choose a smaller version of the main or veg meal.
SATURDAY CLUB:
In an effort to see more families at Dinner Gild, we have launched a Saturday Club for youth at Arden Dinner Gild. Youth 16 and under eat for free, and we offer child-friendly alternatives for kids who don’t want the adult menu offerings. (Currently, the kid’s option will include a choice of Burger or Hot Dog, French fries, and one other side. These options will expand with more participation.) In addition, each youth will have a “Passport” on file at the cashier desk. Stamp and date your passport each time you attend. If families attend eight dinners during the 2024-2025 season, the child/youth will receive a free Saturday Club T-shirt at the end of the season.
The price of adult dinner continues to be $15 for Arden Club members and $20 for non-members.
Dinner Gild is no longer BYOB. Wine ($15 bottle, $8 carafe, $5 glass) and beer ($3) are available for purchase.

PLEASE NOTE: You must request a vegetarian meal ahead of time. We make them based on request, and although we sometimes have a few extra, we often don't.
Best,

Update!!
In case you didn't hear, we are taking credit cards now!
We are going to start implementing a small 3% service charge for the benefit of using a card. This amounts to $15.45 for members and bottles of wine, $20.60 for non-members, $3.09 for glasses, and $8.24 for carafes, etc. You can also add tips if you'd like!
100% of the tips collected at both the bar and the cashier table go to our clean up crew only! They work really hard and every tip helps them earn a fairer living. Please consider tipping as often as you can. We will have the jar at both places every week.
Please let us know if you are interested in leading a dinner or volunteering next season!
We are preparing the schedule now!
