Wear your tartan and join the Craigs for a fun evening as we celebrate Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns. This fundraiser for the Arden Club will take place upstairs starting promptly at 6 pm, so arrive early for the Haggis ceremony! ( 6 - 9 pm - doors open at 5 pm)

- Unfortunately, there is no BYOB this year due to a change in the Arden Club insurance policy. There will be a cash bar for whisky, wine, beer and soft drinks
January 25th: Chris Day’s Ramen Dinner Returns
Chris will amaze you with this incredible and creative meal. We promise you won't go home hungry! Meat and meatless options will be offered, along with a variety of options to customize the ramen bowl to your tastes.
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,
Jen & Keri

Important Notice!!
Outside alcohol is not permitted at dinners, but we do have wonderful beverage options available:
We've partnered with Dave Gavatos at Swigg Wine Shop in Independence Mall. They've provided us with delicious wines, at a price break to the Club, which will be offered as house wines. One red and one white will be available at every dinner.
These will be the ONLY wines sold by the glass (6oz for $5) and… by the carafe (12oz for $8).
Additional Wine Options: A wider selection of wines will be available for purchase by the bottle at $15 each (Again—at a price break.)
• While we can't offer a customized wine selection for each meal, we'll strive for food-friendly pairings.
• Beverage service starts 30 minutes before meal service and ends when George’s announcements begin.
• Currently, only cash and checks are accepted. Please plan accordingly.
We're constantly learning and appreciate your suggestions! Please feel free to share your thoughts.
Thank you again for your continued support as we implement this new service. AND A Big Thank You: Diners have stepped up and completed the necessary server training, allowing us to maintain compliance with regulations.
Please let us know if you are interested in leading a dinner or volunteering next season!
We are preparing the schedule now!
