New Restaurant Partners Starting June 1, 2026

Amada

2 locations in PA

Chef Jose Garces opened Amada in 2005 because Philadelphia didn’t have a real Spanish tapas restaurant. Twenty years later, it’s still the one people talk about. The bar area looks like a bodega you’d find in Seville — cured jamón hanging overhead, Spanish wines by the glass, sangria made to order. There’s a six-seat chef’s counter overlooking the open kitchen if you want the full show. Private dining available at both the Philadelphia and Radnor locations.

Bake Me A Wish

New York, New York

Bake Me A Wish is an online bakery that ships nationwide, overnight. Their Chocolate Mousse Torte has north of 12,000 reviews. The Red Velvet Chocolate Cake has nearly 8,000. Prices run $38 for a dozen black-and-white cookies up to $65 for a personalized photo cake. For offices, they do corporate logo cakes and bulk orders. Gluten-free options, too. If you need a cake somewhere in the country by tomorrow, this is the call.

Blaze Pizza

162 locations nationwide

Blaze’s model is simple: pick your crust (four options), load it up from 35+ fresh toppings, and they fire it in about three minutes. Prices start under $7 for value deals. The Spicy Pepperoni with Mike’s Hot Honey has a following, and the Prosciutto pizza with caramelized onions and arugula punches above its price point. Mexican Coca-Cola on the drink menu is a nice touch. For the office, the Feed the Family 5 deal gets you three pizzas and two sides.

Blu Prime Steakhouse

San Antonio, TX

Blu Prime runs its own dry-aging program in-house, and the results are on full display alongside a five-star wine list and a champagne-and-cocktail bar that takes itself seriously. They call their happy hour “Elite Hour” — Mon through Thursday, 4 to 6:30 and again from 9 to 10. Dress code enforced. Multiple private dining rooms with a dedicated Event Director on staff. Closed Sundays.

Chubby’s Restaurant

Dallas, TX

Chubby’s is a family restaurant on Cockrell Hill Road in Dallas, open seven days for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hours run 7 AM to 8 PM on weekdays, 8:30 on weekends. No frills, no fuss. Sometimes the best business meal is the simple, honest one around the corner.

Connolly’s Pub & Restaurant

2 locations in NY

Family-owned Irish pub in Times Square with 50 beers on tap and room for anywhere from 15 to 500 people — that’s not a typo. The Times Square location has three floors plus a rooftop bar and a dedicated live music venue called Klub 45 on the third floor. 45 flat-screen TVs cover every game. Open until 4 AM six nights a week. Their Midtown East spot on 47th Street is the quieter sibling, better for a business dinner. Both are within walking distance of every Broadway show.

Einstein Bros. Bagels

3 locations in FL/MI/TX

Fresh-baked bagels and coffee brewed on the hour — Einstein Bros. does the working breakfast right. The $8 Breakfast & Brew deal is hard to beat for a quick morning meeting. Catering runs from a simple Baker’s Dozen box to full spreads for the conference room, delivered warm and ready. Download the app for a free bagel and shmear on signup.

Golden Corral

1 location in CO

Founded in 1973, Golden Corral is America’s largest buffet concept and they don’t try to be anything else. Over 150 items, from signature sirloin steaks to the famous carrot cake and those soft yeast rolls everyone fights over. Private party room at every location. They accommodate low-carb, vegan, and paleo, which is more range than you’d expect from a buffet. The company’s Camp Corral program sends kids of military families to summer camp — been doing it for years.

iniBurger

5 locations in CA

Here’s what sets iniBurger apart: every item on the menu is 100% halal certified. Angus beef patties, antibiotic-free chicken wings, fresh-baked buns with no trans fats, house-made sauces. Five locations across the Bay Area, including Fremont and Pleasanton. Catering covers boxed lunches, burger packages, and wing platters for the office. Over 2,000 Google reviews at 4.5+ stars. Gluten-free bun available.

Jessop’s Tavern

New Castle, DE

The building was constructed in 1674. A cooper named Abraham Jessop worked here in 1724. It’s been a sea captain’s house, a restaurant, a bar, and a few other things in between. The Day family reopened it as Jessop’s Tavern in 1996, and the menu reflects every culture that ever passed through colonial Delaware: English pub fare, Dutch cheeses, Belgian favorites, Swedish sauces. The Belgian beer list alone runs over 200 bottles, 30 on draft. Private space holds 26 for events. Winner of Delaware’s Reader’s Choice Best Beer Selection.

Megan’s Bar and Kitchen

New York, New York

Family-owned Irish bar on West 45th, opened in 2018. Two floors, 60 beers on tap, and — this is the twist — homemade brick oven pizza. Not many Irish pubs can say that. Sister bar to Sean’s Bar and Kitchen and Kevin’s Pub, all run by the same family. Corporate events welcome. Open 9 AM to 2 AM daily, a block from Times Square.

Mendocino Farms

3 locations in CA/CO

Mendocino Farms does the fast-casual sandwich thing, but with a chef-driven seasonal menu that rotates. It’s not your standard deli counter — expect things like unexpected ingredient combos and weekly specials that keep regulars coming back. Catering is a strong suit for office lunches. Locations in California and Colorado, with more popping up. Order through the app for rewards.

Neil’s Pizzeria

Clifton, NJ

Neil’s is a neighborhood pizza shop in Clifton, with pizzas, pasta, salads, and more. Minimal fuss. If you know, you know. That’s usually how the best local pizza spots work.

Onesan

Dallas, TX

Chef Ray Skradzinski and Executive Sushi Chef Mingmin Lin run the kitchen here, and the menu covers a lot of ground: dim sum, sushi, and Asian-inspired cocktails. The five-spice char siu ribs and the short rib bao get repeat orders. Sashimi gets served on a salt rock. Fair warning: it’s a small spot, and parties of five or more need a credit card hold to reserve. OpenTable Diners’ Choice 2022. Fun fact: Chef Skradzinski also runs Republic Texas Tavern literally next door.

Pisco Y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar

5 locations nationwide

Peruvian gastrobar built around ceviche and pisco cocktails. Five locations and growing. The name comes from pisco (Peru’s national spirit) and Nazca (the ancient civilization behind those famous desert lines). If your team hasn’t done a Peruvian dinner yet, this is the excuse.

PopStroke

2 locations in TN/TX

Tiger Woods designed the putting courses. That’s the headline. But PopStroke is also a legit scratch kitchen — smashburgers, crispy chicken, salads, and over-the-top milkshakes. Two 18-hole courses per location, a sports bar with craft beer, and an ice cream parlor. Order food on the app and they’ll deliver it to you on the course. Birthday parties and corporate outings are a big part of the business. “Eat. Putt. Drink.” is the tagline, and it’s accurate.

Reilly’s Public House

Piermont, NY

Family-owned, opened in 2022 in the small Hudson River village of Piermont. Don’t let the small-town address fool you — the newly renovated space has high ceilings, an open floor plan, two full-size bars, and 24 beers on tap. Elevated Irish-American menu with daily specials. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 3 to 6. Brunch on weekends. Private events for corporate groups.

Republic Texas Tavern

Dallas, TX

Chef Ray Skradzinski (also behind Onesan next door) runs a menu that changes every three weeks. Chicken fried steak, pork belly lollipops, fried quail tenders, crab cakes. The whiskey collection runs past 150 bottles. Half-price wine every Tuesday. Private parties for 9 to 30. OpenTable Diners’ Choice 2024. It’s named after the Republic of Texas (1836), and the kitchen has the ambition to match.

San Francisco Brewing Co

San Francisco, CA

Brewpub in Ghirardelli Square with a 10-barrel system on site. Their hazy IPA is named Karl — after San Francisco’s fog, naturally. The light lager uses toasted jasmine rice, which gives it a distinctly clean finish. Draft pours come straight from the brite tanks. Beer garden out back, games inside, full cocktail program alongside the house-brewed lineup. Private events available. Call 415-484-BEER. Yes, that’s the real number.

Sean’s Bar & Kitchen

New York, New York

Family-owned Irish bar steps from Rockefeller Center, open since 2016. 54 rotating draft beers. The menu goes beyond Irish staples into globally inspired territory — waffle fries nachos, a BBQ Beyond Burger, a Greek Goddess salad — alongside the expected shepherd’s pie and bangers. Brick oven pizza, too. Catering and private parties available. Sister spot to Megan’s Bar and Kitchen. Open 9 AM to midnight, every day.

Stoney River

14 locations nationwide

Stoney River is part of the J. Alexander’s family, and the format is upscale steakhouse with hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, and a comprehensive wine bar. They host wine dinner events with producers like Far Niente — $125 a head for four courses with pairings. Private dining at every location. VIP Club for regulars. Fourteen locations coast to coast.

Subway

1 location in GA

The world’s largest restaurant chain needs no introduction. The $4.99 Sub of the Day and the $6.99 Meal of the Day keep it budget-friendly for everyday business lunches. New Protein Pockets pack 20+ grams of protein for $3.99. Catering platters serve 5 to 9. Founded in 1965. Over 37,000 locations. You already know what Subway is — now it earns you myDinova points.

Taco Joint

9 locations in TX

Dallas-area Tex-Mex chain that opens at 6:30 AM for breakfast tacos and doesn’t slow down. Every menu item has a name — The Lester, Clyde’s Fajita, The Sophie, The Disaster (queso, ground sirloin, guac, pico — $7.49). The salsa bar has six sauces, including ones called “5 Alarm,” “XXX,” and “Delta Force.” Happy hour Monday through Friday, 3 to 7, with $1 off margaritas. Margaritas to go: 18 oz for $10.50, half gallon for $36.50. Catering via EZ Cater, including a 40-taco tray for $116 that feeds 20.

The Ellwood At Goleta Beach

Goleta, CA

Oceanfront dining on Goleta Beach, just outside Santa Barbara. You’re watching waves from your table. Seasonal California-coastal menu for brunch, lunch, and dinner, with handcrafted cocktails and a solid wine list. Kids menu. Special events and live events on the calendar. Reservations through Resy. If you’re doing business on the Central Coast, this is where you take the client.

The Perfect Pint

2 locations in NY

Two Midtown locations, both on 45th Street but on opposite sides of Manhattan — west at Times Square, east near Grand Central. Thirty beers on tap plus their own house brews. Private event spaces at both spots. It’s the kind of Irish pub where you can book a floor for a corporate event or just grab a pint after work. Pick the location closest to your meeting and you’re set.

The Public House NYC

New York, New York

Inside the Merrion Row Hotel on West 45th, The Public House takes the Irish pub concept upscale. Shepherd’s Pie Empanadas with salsa verde. Lamb ribs with avocado-tzatziki. A Wagyu burger with Gruyère and truffle aioli. This isn’t your average pub menu — the kitchen is doing something with each dish. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 7 AM to 11 PM. Private events for corporate groups, with hotel rooms upstairs if anyone needs them.

Vatan Progressive Indian Kitchen

St. Charles, IL

Vatan calls itself “progressive Indian,” and the separate Cocktail Room dedicated entirely to Indian-inspired mixology backs that up. The Dining Room handles the regional Indian flavors. Located in St. Charles, about 40 miles west of Chicago — a suburban find for business diners in the western suburbs. Available on DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats for delivery.

Village Whiskey

Philadelphia, PA

Chef Jose Garces built Village Whiskey as a spot where he and his kitchen team could grab a drink and a bite after a long night. That’s the origin story, and the speakeasy vibe still holds. Over 200 whiskeys behind the bar. The burger has been called one of the country’s best. Happy hour runs Sunday through Friday, 4 to 6. Same Garces Group that runs Amada. Small, intimate, built around the central bar. Come for the whiskey, stay for the burger.
