It's Just Lunch Reviews

The experience has been well so far. I like the general hands-off approach in letting someone deal with finding matching dates while I can continue my busy week. I even had a date that went surprisingly well compared to any other dates that wasn't setup through friends. My only complaint is that I do with that there were more often check-ins at least to reaffirm that things are going well. I don't hear much of anything unless either I reach out first or there's a date upcoming or there's feedback needed on that date, so if there's not a date ready, then it can feel weird to not hear anything and then surprising when I do hear something, but that's only minor.

As a widowed male in my 50's I found myself not knowing where to start when I was ready to try dating. I was not comfortable using the dating apps now commonly used to meet people. As a busy professional, I was interested in having a personalized experience that would help me through the introduction process as well as match me with like-minded singles that shared common interests and values. IJL was the perfect solution. I was introduced to my executive matchmaker, Lisa D, who made the process both easy and painless. She handled everything - from understanding my likes and preferences to identifying compatible matches and scheduling first dates. Within two weeks I was going out on dates and meeting wonderful people. I would highly recommend their service.

I have had the honor to be working with Lisa as my match maker. I had a very nice 1st date. It was truly a wonderful experience. Lisa has been very attentive, and she responds and gets back to me quickly. I feel like the company and service are working very hard to find me a great match. I am excited and looking forward to my next date. So far it has been a very satisfying experience. I am very happy with the services and Lisa. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and enthusiastic about their work and finding great matches. I am looking forward to all of my future dates. I love the options and opportunities. I have a very good feeling that I may find just the right person for me.

Meeting Mike was a positive experience. He was a gentleman, kind, well groomed, educated and well traveled. I have two concerns: 1. He is 7 years older than me. I just had my 67th birthday and he turned 74 in March. One of my criteria is that my date be between the ages of 62 and 69. I decided to go on the date with Mike for 2 reasons. Since I signed up for "It's Just Lunch", I have said no to 4 dates because the "dates" that had been selected for me were not my "type". The second reason was even though Mike was older than my target age, he looked like a kind person and had a nice smile.

As a business professional, the time investment to meet people through clubs and dating apps can be quite the hurdle. It’s Just Lunch helps alleviate most of that burden through their matchmaking service. The matchmaker I’ve been working with has been truly delightful. She is kind, receptive, insightful and encouraging. I do feel that she really does care about finding potentially great matches as opposed to sending me out on dates for the sake of it. The restaurant selection has been great. I enjoy the convenience of having IJL schedule everything so I don’t have to worry about the details. If I had to make a small complaint, it would be the after office hours support. One date did not show up and did not follow the policy of contacting the restaurant. I am not sure how this could be avoided so I do not entirely fault IJL for unusual circumstances. Overall, the program has been a positive for me.

The date went very well. Both parties were kind and considerate to one another. I think we both enjoyed meeting each other. We both want to do things with another person and not be alone. We both have common interests in doing things together. I feel we both enjoyed each other's company.

Amber is very customer focused and listens to their comments. For example, parking garages in Center City where one of the Its Just Lunch restaurants is located refuses to take my vehicle for parking. Hence, I explained this to Amber and she is going to ensure that my new lunch dates avoid this high-traffic, parking constrained geographic area. Thank you Amber!!!

After previous less than great experiences I am really happy to be working with Marina at the Luxe level. She really listens and so far I am so glad I trusted the process and signed up with IJL Luxe. Marina’s approach is organized and her attention to the little things is really making this process work for me. I truly believe she cares. I’m excited to see where this goes.

DO NOT USE IT’S JUST LUNCH!! This dating service is not who they try to say they are! It is such a scam. I was very specific and clear about the type of person I was looking for and the location I could date. It HAS BEEN AWFUL. I have never once been matched with someone who met the profile I had requested or in the location that I could date. I asked repeatedly for a refund and all they do is move me from one different matchmaker to another. Tabitha H. Sign me up and she knew exactly what I was looking for and promised me there would be “many” men for me to pick from.… but there have been none that met my criteria. Also, in between matches can be as long as a month or longer. So when I have declined a match, sometimes it takes a month or longer to be matched again…just to have the same issue repeat itself over and over. If you are trying to decide to use the service or not… listen to me and do Not sign up. Scam!

My matchmaker was empathetic at first about my cornerns of the price and having funds leftover for dates. Later at the end, she proposed I pay for the dates completely to get more second dates, and I had already paid 4 figures twice for a year. I never got more criticism from their dating coach than editing my dating app profiles, which wasn't much either. Nearly all but one date never became a second date. So paying for an expensive service doesn't mean you won't get a bunch of delusional princess fairytale mentality women with unrealistic expectations about finding love. And since not a single staff member I communicated with was a woman, I think this service is biased against men. You would probably be better off spending that same money on the dating apps of your choice than this service.
