It's Just Lunch Reviews

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.

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.

My matchmaker Bryanna has been great to work with. She has found some wonderful people to match me with, and although so far I haven't yet found someone to continue to date beyond the first, the dates have been very enjoyable and I am looking forward to my next one soon. Bryanna is very courteous, professional and responsive and I'm enjoying working with her.

I would like to clarify some remarks I made with respect to my experience with IJL. I signed up for a 24 date or 12 month package on Feb. 14, 2023. The agreement stated that if the 24 dates did not occur within 12 months, the term would be extended until 24 dates were arranged. I was immediately assigned to a male matchmaker whose name I do not recall as he soon left before any dates were arranged. After that, I was at one time or another in touch with five other matchmakers: Carissa, Tricia, Marina, Amber and Amy and some dates were arranged, but the consistency of communication and overall experience was unsatisfactory. I expressed my displeasure in my earlier evaluation.

I was so disappointed with this dating service at the cost of $**. I only had 1 date from 6/2024 to 1/2025.. Two dates were cancelled the day of meet up. Poor communication with representative. I feel that they did not have enough people in their network for dating. A word of advice. Put your money somewhere else and try out a different dating service. I had to put 1 star because the rating didn’t offer zero.

I am very disappointed with the services of this company. I was told my membership would be placed on hold, only to learn six months later that it had been cancelled without my knowledge. This company does not stand behind its practices (even if it is in writing), and I would advise extreme caution when deciding whether to use IJL. I believe they are deceitful and take advantage of people in vulnerable situations. If I could give them less than one star, I would....

I joined IJL about 6 weeks ago. My matchmaker is Marina. I have enjoyed working with Marina so far. She has a good grasp on what I'm looking for in a match. She chose a good match for my first date. We had a lot in common and were a good personality match. She was also very helpful in easing my anxiety related to going on a first date. She also gave me good advice on how to frame my mindset around this matchmaking process. She is always available if I have questions. I feel like she is genuinely interested in getting to know me so that she can find the best possible match for me, my person.

Constantly match me up with matches that don't fit the guidelines of what I was interested in when I signed up. All this "mismatches" count toward the number of matches they guarantee. Before you sign up ask them how many daters are in their system. Basically it's almost none but they won't tell you they have don't have enough clients and diversity for it to work well.

So far so good with the It's Just Lunch crew. Everyone I have dealt with has been professional and courteous. They have also done a good job of getting to know who I am so that they can find the right matches for me. I am pleased with the services thus far.
