About
The Twelve Tables Club
A monthly dinner party club hosted in Washington, DC at one of DC's top trendy spots !
Each month, we make a reservation for a dinner with 12 spots at a different restaurant. Reservations are first come, first served. Once the table is full, it’s full.
​
Signing up is super easy, just follow the link below or head to any of our socials for more info! If the Table you are looking for is already full, join our waitlist! If you signed up and cannot make it anymore, your spot will go to someone on the waitlist, so make sure to let us know!
There’s no price fixe, no splitting checks, no group-bill stress. No worrying about someone else getting the most expensive thing on the menu and having to split the bill! Everyone orders what they want and pays for what they get.
Restaurants will rotate across cuisines, neighborhoods, and price points so you can join when it excites you and skip when it doesn’t. Who doesn't love trying different places?!
We meet one Friday night a month, leaving the rest of the evening open - whether that means drinks after, going out, or heading home early.
Every dinner will start the same with going around the table and everyone sharing: their name, a current obsession, and one place they want to eat at next. The rest of the meal is left to our conversation flow!
Come for the food, stay for the conversation, leave with new connections and friends for life.
Simple. Intentional. Limited. Iconic.

Hi I am Jacoba!!
​
I’m a Washington, DC native with a big personality, strong opinions, a deep love for dressing up, and making things feel special. I’ve always been the friend who plans the dinner, picks the place, makes the reservation, and somehow ends up hosting without even meaning to. I love aesthetic spaces, good lighting, beautiful tables, yummy food, and the kind of nights where you look around and think, "wow, I’m really glad I came."
​
I’m creative at heart and very people-oriented. I notice vibes, I notice energy, and I care a lot about how things feel. I love bringing different personalities together, mixing people who wouldn’t normally meet, and watching conversations unfold naturally. I’m the type of person who believes dinner is never just dinner: it’s an excuse to connect, to laugh, to linger a little longer, to order another drink, and to feel part of something.
I also know firsthand how weird and isolating making friends in your 20s can feel - especially in a city like DC where everyone’s busy, transient, or glued to their schedule. I wanted something that wasn’t a bar crawl, wasn’t networking, and wasn’t awkward. I wanted an excuse to get dressed, leave the house, sit down somewhere beautiful, and actually talk to people who are open, curious, and fun.

Twelve Tables Club is an extension of me and the way I love to socialize: intentional but playful, elevated but not stiff, fun without being chaotic. It’s for people who want a reason to put on a cute outfit, eat really good food, and make friends in a way that feels natural and exciting. One table, twelve seats, and the kind of night you’re still thinking about the next morning.
