supper club

Evening dining establishment

A supper club is a type of restaurant, especially in the Upper Midwest, that serves classic American food in a relaxed, often dimly lit atmosphere—typically featuring prime rib, fish fry, cocktails, and a salad bar.

The term also applies to private dining events where guests gather for elaborate home-cooked meals: We joined a supper club that meets monthly at different members' houses.
