It's Just Lunch Reviews

I am pleased with at IJL in terms of the quality of matches I have received. Andrea is very responsive and stays in touch often. The meeting with Dawn was positive and I got the sense that both she and Andrea know what I am looking for in a match. My only constructive feedback is that both the dates I met told me they paid nothing to join IJL and they got longer membership terms than I received. I paid a considerable price to join and I feel the pricing structure should be revisited and reversed. Women should have free memberships and men should have paid memberships. If not, men and women should pay the same. Both of my dates brought up in conversation that they paid nothing to join and I felt slightly cheated and shocked to hear that the males had free memberships when I do not. Please review this policy and make adjustments.

My dating coaching session with Sheri was great; she was very positive and supportive and answered my questions regarding my own inhibitions around beginning the dating process. Having access to a dating coach with this knowledge and perspective is just what I have needed to put one foot in front of the other.

My experience with both Princess and Vanessa has been fun and professional. They are both great staff, who care about arranging good matches with me for Dating. I love their personalities and friendly nature. It makes the experience with IJL very appealing and personal.

My experience working with Michelle at It's Just Lunch has been enjoyable; she is easy to talk to and she makes the dating process fun. I am looking forward to future matches and meeting more interesting people.

My experience w/ IJL so far... I got off to a shaky start with my work schedule and all, but once that cleared up, it’s been a positive experience. Everybody that I have worked with from ILJ is very friendly and positive. They seem very concerned with my success. They can be somewhat pushy at times but only when it's necessary, which is a good thing. I look forward to what is in store for me with the rest of my membership.

This is the second time I have tried IJL. I wished and hoped the second go around would be better. Focus seems to be in selling new accounts and not providing great service to customers. The dating directors rotate or leave. Calls aren't returned. Dates are scheduled and there are no shows with no explanation. I wish it were better. When I have asked to speak to a supervisor calls don't get returned.

It has been awhile since I was with IJL and wanted to write a brief review of my experience. I gave IJL a 5-month try and came away realizing my matches were never met and the feedback I gave was never used to better my future matches. The first match had potential and the rest were matches I didn't have much in common with. I am glad I discontinued due to being matched less towards the end and had to call to get an update. The whole experience discouraged me from dating for a while afterwards due to not receiving compatible matches and being provided advice to improve my future dates.

Debbie ** is very good. She follows up, is extremely professional, listens and tries to provide good matches.

My experience has been touch and go before Princess... I just kept feeling as though I had been forgotten. Princess called me by name. Very important to me, personally and professionally, I need to be spoken to as if I'm important. I understand I had to delay my membership due to surgery, but I felt like I was not likable. I get no input after my VERY expensive dates. If I go to the trouble for input for him, I'm sure he is too. Princess has assured me I'm a valuable client and immediately found me someone to meet for lunch or dinner. If she says she will call me, she really does!!! Yay! I don't expect miracles. But Princess has redeemed IJL in my eyes. You have had huge employee turnover. Let's hope she is encouraged to stay with the business. She is an asset!!!

I am very happy with Debbie - she is personable and very kind and I think she truly has my best interest in mind. The reason I can't give 5 stars is because I believe GiGi mislead me to believing how many eligible men there were with my parameters.

I had a wonderful experience in my coaching session. Sheri was very informative and her tips helped a lot. Also the list of questions I should use were very helpful. Thank you.

The conversation and the food were great. :) Thank you, Princess, for taking care of me- my last date with IJL was the best out of all six. :)

Although I am probably not the easiest client to find a match for, Michelle has always been cheerful and positive. She is also quick to respond to my phone and email queries. I've always felt treated like a person and not a business obligation!

Dave has done an excellent job with introducing me to some high quality matches! I had a great time on all of my dates. I hope to find a certain chemistry and am looking forward to the next one which I'm sure will be fun. IJL is an exceptional service for a busy person like me. Thank you.

Great and friendly service.

Ali ** was very professional and followed through on all the details for each date. I appreciate her help finding a great person and a great match for me that I am currently dating.

I feel I have invested a great deal of time and money with the service. However, only one of the 7-8 dates I have been on to this point have gone to a second date which is a shame considering I have liked most of the girls I have gone on dates with, but for the most part I do not get any full closure or reasoning as to why the girls do not want to go out a second date. For example, the girl prior to the last girl I went out with looked promising for a 2nd date but then she gave me an excuse saying she wanted to focus on school and did not have time to date when in turn I found out she had met someone else and was not upfront and honest with me.

I first joined It's Just Lunch 6 months ago. I was a bit hesitant at first but I am so happy I did. I had a few good dates throughout my membership but there was no real chemistry... until I met Kevin! We hit if off right away, it was one of the best first dates I have been on. The date lasted five hours and we have been together ever since. I would recommend this service to anyone who is single and is ready to meet professionals who are also looking to be in a relationship. Thank you!!

I found the service to be very professional and private. Staff kept me updated and busy. I feel that my likes were a high priority in finding a match. I met someone who I have a lot in common with, we are still dating. I give my highest recommendation to the staff at It's Just Lunch. I will send others to this service. Thank you!

It took a full year to get my third date, but he seems worth the wait. Dave was great.

The matches I have been sent on for the most part do not align with my stated objectives. The men have either been older than I requested, not my religion, out of the area, or had significant appearance problems. Here's a sampling of the misalignments. Two dates were approaching age 60. I personally requested closer to my age due to the fact that I have a child still at home. Most older men do not want to get involved with someone with minor children. They have been there and done that.

I had my dating coaching session today with Sheri. It felts that I knew Sheri from before - she was very knowledgeable about myself and ask several interesting questions. The feedback that I got from her will help me have a more positive first dates.

Sheri has great positive energy and was supportive in both providing tips as well as answering questions.

I knew going into IJL, that I would be meeting women who at least had the resources to join, just as I had. I have not been disappointed in the pleasant women I have met. They were all well educated, well spoken and well mannered. Not all of them matched my interests but they were all worth meeting. Most recently, I've met someone who has all the bases covered. She is highly successful, great personality, very attractive (downright beautiful) and participates in activities I also enjoy. I hope everyone else has the same good fortune with their IJL experience.

I wasn't that happy with It's Just Lunch until Princess started to handle my dates - this lady is amazingly prompt, efficient, helpful and extremely pleasant to communicate with! Keep up a great job, Princess! Best luck in your work and have a great Christmas and Happy New Year! :)

Just had a coaching session with Sheri today. The people at IJL are very nice, very helpful, and in my experience have a great sense of humor, making it so easy to have a conversation with them. I have nothing but praise for IJL so far!

Erica ** is great! She is the best Dating Director I have worked with since I joined IJL. I have three months left in my contract. I wish I could have worked with her the entire time. I am 100% certain she would have found my "Mr. Right". She is a pleasure to work with. Keep up the great work Erica **!!!

I signed up for 6 months and paid what I now see was a complete waste of my hard-earned money. I had one date in a month and a half. The first date was the complete opposite of what I communicated I was looking for. When I gave my feedback, they indicated that choosing dates was a process and they learn more of what I like after each date and can get closer to my perfect match after each date. Well, the next date cancelled twice--the first time was a half-hour before the date and the second time was literally 5 minutes before the date. They never indicated before I signed the contract that this was a "process".

Our Director is great! Debbie is professional and patient about handling our requests. I think she is the best!!

I have had a great experience with It's just lunch! GiGi, my account representative has been very professional and thorough in finding me that perfect "fit" / "match".

It was a pleasure to work with Kate. She is professional, disciplined and consistently on top of things. Her prompt attention to all my questions really made my involvement with IJL a positive experience. She is an excellent coach and an outstanding representative for IJL.

So far it's been almost two months into IJL. I have enjoyed the company of incredible women who have been carefully and smartly selected and matched by the professionals in charge at IJL. Having this type of support team on my side has taken the anxiety of dating away. Aware of my profile preferences the staff has found and put me in contact with the right person in several occasions. I am very pleased with the results IJL delivers. The dating specialists are respectful, professional, dedicated and yet sensitive to my personal situation. Thanks IJL.

I've used IJL for just a few months and about 4 years ago. It's such a relief in this ultra-high-tech-connected world in which we're living to actually meet face-to-face with women truly desiring and seeking a long-term and lasting relationship. I have friends that married their IJL dates so I have seen success! My personal dating director, Sade, got to know me to better match me with someone compatible - saves me time so that I can enjoy the process. It's so much fun dating off-line!

I have been a member of IJL for the past year and a half. I have had great experiences with the service, their staff is friendly and they do try to work with you and your schedule. The actual matching is what is mostly up for grabs. I've had several account directors in this past year and their results have varied; either way this is expected. Overall the experience has not been bad. Some of the dates have been great, but I would still consider an expensive investment.

My last date called to cancel his date with me a week in advance due to his leaving town. I was never notified. I found out this information when I met with him yesterday. My date prior to that had an expired membership and was recruited to come back to Match, having to pay only $400. I don't like the selection of restaurants. Since you don't have a representative in Nashville, you are essentially clueless about the restaurants here.

I enjoyed mtg a special guy on an iJL date last night. Dave matched me with a contemporary and someone with my same educational requirements - an undergraduate and graduate degrees. He was intelligent, charming and down to earth. I had a great time. Thanks!

My last date with IJL was a perfect match. I appreciate GiGi's dedication & desire to find me the right match. I believe GiGi is on the right track to help me find love soon!

I am find myself very pleased with the services provided so far from It's Just Lunch. The service is a very strange one from the beginning but once you get used to the process, it becomes that much more normal. I will continue to trust in George to find me the right person.

I don't have a lot to say other than they are doing what they are supposed to do. I am meeting the kind of women I was hoping to meet when I joined. I haven't met the right one but I feel like this is going to in the right direction. Very solid work from George.

It's Just Lunch has set me up with some nice women that I would not have ever met. Ashley **, my date coordinator is very good with her job. She is very professional and listens to my concerns.

I was very impressed and very happy with my one hour session. First she called at the exact time she said. We discussed many things that I have been struggling with and I feel that she helped me quite a bit. Follow up information was provided as she committed immediately after our call. I was very happy for her to provide me feedback from those I have dated. That was very reassuring and informative. A++++

Quality consultants with a profound depth of knowledge. I have the utmost confidence in their ability to create a positive, successful experience.

Ms. ** was a pleasure to talk to. She was most informed and enthusiastic about the dating experience. She provided me with tips and sample questions for a first date. I found this to be most helpful.

I have been working with Valerie through IJL, and it's been a wonderful experience. I've had quality/fun matches, and an abundance of them. Val has also been very accommodating, as well as understanding of my schedule. I am in outside sales and my schedule changes frequently, sometimes at the last minute. Thanks for the great service!

My advisor is offering dating possibilities. Many I have met seem in the search mode. Many are disillusioned. Others are less so. Is there a fresh spirit out there or has modern society really made relationships more challenging given expectations and criteria preset absent feeling and chemistry?

Gigi and her team that works with Nashville, TN, really did send me on a good date last Saturday night. I thought they really strategically searched for a good match for me. The person has really been one of my better dates during the dating experience with It's Just Lunch. Thanks, Gigi and team!

The dating experience has been an interesting one. Sade has done a great job of staying in contact and trying to find me the perfect date. I have not found the lady of my dreams, but look forward to dating again soon.

Shade has been responsive in our communications. Very happy with IJL.

Sheri was very positive and upbeat about my starting the dating process through IJL. She gave me some tips about sticking with neutral topics, and dressing to accentuate my positive attributes.

The team seems nice, friendly and wonderful group of people...by just discussing things with them. They are very helpful in helping me finding that perfect individual I've been looking for!... a match that I couldn't find or meet on my own. I thank each and everyone of you.

IJL is a great service for meeting good quality, single professionals. I especially recommend it for individuals who have been out of the dating scene for some time, either due to work or long term relationships. It's a great way to get "warmed up" and back out there talking to the opposite sex. One has to be flexible when dealing with people's traits and "chemistry." Don't expect perfect, local matches that meet your every criteria all the time. This is a dating service, not an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing company. Look for the good in your dates and chances are they will have more likable qualities than not. Dating has more misses than hits, but it only takes one!

My advisor has been friendly. I asked her not to schedule anymore downtown Vegas dinners and my last date was downtown again. It costs 20 dollars to park. I know she is not from Vegas because the strip is free to park and there are a lot of restaurants. I feel she has tried hard but maybe is selling too hard. I really wanted an "It's just lunch" thinking casual and friendly but every date has been set up at night and not really casual. I don't think she has done anything wrong, it's just better to know the city you are representing and some of the challenges. Downtown Vegas on a Thursday night is a nightmare. A local would avoid it.

It has been quite a journey with dating through IJL. Literally, a journey but in the end, I found my match! I first signed up with IJL in Sacramento and decided to move to LA, thus putting my IJL membership on hold for a bit. I am Latina and have always wanted to date Latin men, but never found a good match on my own. So when I moved to LA and restarted my IJL membership, I wanted to really focus on finding my other half, my man. Through phone calls and feedback after each date, Sade started to understand what I was looking for. She got right on it and set me up with the best match! Though he was a bit younger and previously divorced, I gave him a chance because Sade had faith that we would be good for each other. Her sincerity about how he was a good, wholehearted man convinced me to take a shot. Ever since I met Roberto, he has been loving, supportive, patient, and above all, fun to be around!! And needless to say, he's very handsome!...Sade, thank you for connecting us and for listening! I won't be needing any more dates. :)

Dave provided awesome service to find a match for me. I feel I am getting helped through his interpersonal touch. Now I am very excited for the 1st date he set up for me next week.

I wanted to let you know I am finally happy with the service I am receiving from It's Just Lunch. In the past my dating coordinators were not very helpful and were very difficult to get in touch with. Valerie has been a big help. She answers my questions and always responds promptly to my emails and phone calls. I hope we are able to work together to find me the right match. I'm looking forward to my next date.

I would say that my overall experience has been excellent. My account manager has worked extremely hard and done a great job in scheduling lots of good dates. She calls every other day to present me with dating opportunities. She has been very responsive and easy to reach when I've called and emailed her. And she has been extremely in responding to any concerns or requests I've had. For example, early on in working together, I had asked that she try and schedule dates at locations that are more convenient and easier to get to since Los Angeles is so large and traffic makes it difficult to travel between certain parts of town. She was very understanding and did a good job trying to accommodate me.

After a very rough start....1st date never showed up, I've gone on a few dates with some very nice men. I dated one gentleman for a couple months and have had 2 dates with a couple more. I haven't met that special person yet, but it's still great to be able to meet men who are my age, and are also interested in building a relationship.

Kate was good to work with. She was pleasant and responsive. I would recommend her without hesitation.

My second dating director, Angelica, has been a doll. I've been on 7 dates, 1 of them was mildly appropriate. The rest, two on drugs while one is openly committing fraud. Disappointed. Hassled. Threatened. Just burn your money instead.

Sheri was very sweet and so helpful. She is very kind and patient and definitely understands what I need to know. She is very knowledgeable and I feel very comfortable sharing my dating experiences with her.

I feel like the fee is very expensive and that the matchmakers didn't listen to what I was looking for in a date. I was pretty specific and I felt like I was just thrown on dates with whoever was in my age range. I also think it would be beneficial to see a picture of the person - that way you can decline the date ahead of time.

I am very pleased with It's Just Lunch. The ladies I have met have uniformly been very attractive, intelligent and friendly. I am having a great time getting to know them. I recommend IJL.

I want to share my experience with IJL after a month of participating in the dating website. I have received on point matches that have fulfilled my expectations. IJL staff has been conscientious in finding people I share common interests, values and so many other things that have assured successful outcomes in my dates.

I enjoyed working with Kate, she was the best person so far that has helped me with getting me out there.

Sheri was great. She guided me through the process to get me started. I feel confident moving on.

The JFL experience has been varied, with one experience holding true regardless of the date. I have not experienced a connection with the women. All the women have been very nice people, allowing for a meaningful dating experience. There is no one capable of matching the prime element necessary for a connection to occur- that being chemistry. This is simply undefinable for any individual and cannot be manufactured. In addition my experiences have varied. Some women's main agenda seems to be to merely "show up," make an appearance and then simply leave in a very short span of time, while others have shown some level of engagement, indicating a level of interest. To accept a date while engaged in "clock-watching" in order to relieve someone from watching children appears to show much less that an indication of caring anything about the date. Finally only one woman showed a primary interest in meeting me. There was considerable conversation about the parent organization that quickly detracted from any worthwhile conversation. Quite frankly I have begun to feel less engaged in the process. A lack of chemistry and a disengaging attitude make it difficulty to continue.

It's been a pleasure working with Andrea and Ethan. They really are taking the time to understand what type of woman I am looking for. So far the dates I have been on were fun. Still hoping the "one" will be found for me.

Pleasant experience in total. The ability to match appropriately was satisfactory. The ability to schedule meetings over a fairly large geographic area was lacking. Am not quite sure what the local on-site coordinator does.

Sade at It's Just Lunch really goes out of her way to find some good matches. She also goes right to the point and doesn't waste anyone's time. She has been really fun to work with and I hope to keep working with her some more.

Date venues are very selectively picked and the date match ups are outstanding! Well worth the cost with the type of service provided!

A wonderful experience and would recommend the service. Working with Rich and the crew has been a pleasant adventure.

I'm really glad I joined "It's just lunch". I've been on four dates so far and all of them were a good experience. I look forward to all that's to come. Ashley, my coordinator is very friendly and easy to talk to on the phone. This appears to be a very organized and professional operation, making me confident that my whole experience will be as good as it's been so far.

Erica has been helping with my dates. She has been pleasant to interact with; more or less listening to my request. Too early to tell, but she might have have me a good match - out of 7 women. Might not be too bad. Overall the experience is enjoyable.

Sheri gave some good do's and don't's in preparation for my first IJL meeting. I'm glad I had the session because some things I thought about doing were don'ts! I feel better about my first meeting and believe that I will be more confident because of the coaching session.

A few months ago my matchmaker was switched to Sade and has been a very good experience since. She has acted more like a friend trying to introduce me to her friends rather than just a person running the data base. The concept of IJL is good and worry free. I just show up for my date. The only downside I have is the distance I have to travel. There are sites closer to me but I guess there's no one available in those areas.

Nika - She's been a pleasure working with and always accommodating with dates. Just need to make it work.

I was pleased and excited about my conversation with Sheri. Thought she asked important questions about what I thought a first date would be like. I also was pleased with her suggestions, her questions about what I would wear, etc. were great.

I was quite optimistic upon signing up for IJL in September. I was set up on the first date quickly and everyone I spoke with seemed quite nice. My first date left much to be desired. We had little in common and he did not meet my physical or intellectual preferences. The dating director subsequently called me to set up the face to face meeting that is required with the service and told me that I would meet the coordinator on a specific date and time. I arrived at the location on time and waited 30 minutes; however the person I was to meet never arrived. I subsequently called the dating director and left a message as well as sent her an email to determine what had happened. I didn't receive a follow up call until several days later and when I asked about the meeting she said it wasn't confirmed via email so it was never officially scheduled. There was no apology issued for the waste of my time.

I joined "Just for Lunch" about seven or so months ago. I had a very nice advisor-Ethan. The problem is I never went on any dates during this time frame. I paid a lot of money for services. I called today seeing if i could get any of the money back. "I will ask and get back to you" was what i was told. I am just asking for part of the money back. I did not know you can not cancel after three days. I went through a traumatic event in my life in Feb. and now when I contact the agency I get told that about the cancellation policy. I would not recommend this company to any friends or family members. l am very disappointed. I did find a lovely man on my own which did not cost me thousands of dollars.

All IJL representatives have been very professional and have clearly explained their roles in helping me prepare for Dating.

I was admittedly skeptical when I joined IJL. There are many unfavorable reviews. After evaluating my options I decided I preferred IJL's approach over online sites or other matchmakers. I was pleased to find that they did solicit my feedback after each match and utilize it when making subsequent matches. Most importantly this lead to a positive result. I am currently in an ongoing relationship with a most wonderful woman. Thanks to IJL.

Overall I think that IJL is a good service. I have met some very nice people and gone to some very nice places to eat. I would recommend at least trying the service. The staff is wonderful and very willing to help and answer any questions you might have. :)

I just joined so I have only the experience of talking with my dating coordinator and life coach. So far everyone has been very nice and professional. I am able to freely describe what I am looking for and I hope this will be a successful partnership.

Although I am disappointed that no match resulted from the 3 dates which were arranged for me by IJL, I am satisfied that the company provided the services which were promised, were available to me by phone and email and were always professional when contacted. I feel that the initial interview process should be more thorough and detailed, possibly with the use of an email questionnaire, to better match the participants of the arranged dates.

I have been with IJL for a little while now and they have been really great to work with. I enjoy meeting new people and this works much better for me than dating sites. If you want to date there is no reason not to try their system.

This was one of the worst dating experiences of my life. It might depend on where you live, but I was not matched with anyone that even remotely seemed like who I described I wanted. This included setting me up on a date with a man who did not want children, when I made it VERY clear that I wanted children. I also got set up with men much older than what I was comfortable with. Poor customer service, including not returning phone calls when I needed to discuss charges on my credit card for dates I was never set up on. I did better choosing my own dates on online dating services than they did. Be careful when deciding to spend the kind of money they are asking for. I considered it an investment in my future, but feel like I got scammed.

Met some really nice people on this journey - although there was no connection made with them - the quality of their character was higher than any other site/firm I have tried.

I am very pleased to write a character reference about my director Kate. I have known Kate for several months, during that time I have always been amazed at her level of enthusiasm. She has always been a very good listener, good communicator with regards to what I am looking for in a partner. Much thought goes into the dates she has set me up with. She has been personable, motivated and optimistic. She has been very consistent and committed in finding the right partner I am looking for. Kate is in contact with me bi-weekly to either check on my availability days or offer a possible match. I have been very pleased with her and would recommend IJL to anybody whom is in search for the perfect match.

I have been working with Ethan from the company for a few weeks now after he was recommended by a friend and I have been more than pleased. Ethan listens intently to what and who I am looking for, is extremely responsive, professional and kind. I am so happy with the service thus far and have recommend IJL to two of my co-workers. Thank you.

I have to admit that I was a bit hesitant to allow someone I didn't know the opportunity to put me in touch with like minded women in my area. Admittedly it was a little difficult at first but that was because they literally don't know you from Adam. It took a little bit of time for my contact to really get to know who I was and what I was looking for in a partner.

Alyssa ** has been outstanding to work with as a Dating Coordinator. She has been a great addition to the staff at IJL and I hope the trend of adding quality people like her continues. Before she started I was frustrated with some of the previous experiences. People didn't always get back to me. I would give possible dates and they would say they were "checking" with the other person but I wouldn't hear back. Also it was very inconsistent in the e-mail confirmations or reminders. However with Alyssa she is great about getting back quickly and sending the e-mail confirmations as well as calling as a reminder, which for busy professionals is nice. I had heard other people who were also growing frustrated with similar issues but I have told them these issues appear to be resolving. I think if IJL continues to have staff that as organized and friendly as Alyssa I would certainly recommend it to friends. She has turned a previous 3 star experience into a 5 star experience.

I have enjoyed the IJL experience. I have met several great ladies that I would have never met otherwise, although I am still searching for the right match. Alyssa is my dating coordinator with IJL. She is fun and easy to talk with. She also provides good guidance when I ask her. Last week I was traveling for work and it was a tough trip. The first voice message after getting off the plane was from Alyssa, asking me to give her a call. That made my day.

I've enjoyed having Alyssa as my Matchmaker. I think it's been about a month and half since she took over for my matches. I appreciate her work on these matches and they've been good dates. No second dates yet but I am confident one will work out. I'm now on the month to month plan and look forward to continue working with her as my matchmaker!

I just had a delightful conversation with Sheri. My first dating coaching session. She is delightful, reassuring and gives great positive direction on how to date in a comfortable manner. I am so looking forward to sharing this process with her.

I went on a date with the Elite division of It's Just Lunch. I had met one of the company's matchmakers Michelle at the City Pages Wine event. Michelle was so great at her job! She really took the time to get to know me so she could match me with the perfect bachelor. I ended up going on several great dates with one of her clients. I couldn't recommend this service more!

This is a good service. My planner has been good to work with.

I have enjoyed the opportunities that IJL has provided me. I have recommended IJL to many of my friends. I really enjoyed working with Erica. In a short period of time she found me a perfect match. Things really worked out for the first three dates. Thank you very much. I look forward to other matches.

My dating director Sade has done as good of a job as anyone could with setting me up on dates considering the limited number of professional women that have joined IJL in the Los Angeles area. Sade is always a pleasure to talk with on the phone and she is always on top of things.

We met through IJL and we decided to go on a second date which sparked our hopefully mutual interest on getting to know each other better. After 2 months of dating, we decided to go to Peru and meet my family. The rest will be nice history. Thank you to IJL I meet a wonderful man.

After spending a few years trying to find the right person on my own I decide about ten months ago to give IJL a chance. At first it was frustrating on the dating side because it seemed as if my contact person kept changing. But finally a few months back I was able to work with Sade. What a welcome, just speaking with her on the phone made me feel as if she understood the situation I was in. She convinced me she was going to do the best she could to match me with dates that were the most likely to lead to long term relationships not just friendships. She also goes out of her way to check in prior to the date to give me a call to check up and give me a pep talk. That has lead to me calling her coach, just because as in any team sport the coach gets you best prepared to win/do the best you can and win or lose has your back.

I have appreciated working with Kevin in the dating process!! He is attentive to the details and always follows up with me quickly and seems to have a true interest in helping me find good matches and setting up fun dates!! Thank you Kevin:)

It has been a really bad experience until Ms. Kate ** from Phoenix got involved in my case. She has really made things so much better for me, she goes the extra mile to make things happen. Before it was a total mess. Now is great since she is there, so thank you and only because of the kind of personal service she does. I have recommended IJL. THANKS.

Sheri and I discussed a great many issues during our telephone interview; Sheri was focused on helping me identify the pros and cons of my dating experiences with an emphasis toward assisting me to improve my outcomes. She is a great listener and was genuinely interested in hearing about my experiences. I believe that this experience will help me have better outcomes and will help to guide my dating coordinators as they strive to find that special someone who is waiting out there just for me!! Thanks Sherri!!

I am satisfied with this service.

It was a great first date. I really enjoyed myself and he was a great first choice, in fact we are going out again. I did not really like the restaurant but other than that I am extremely happy.

I am extremely pleased with my dating coordinator Kate. She matched me with someone, that is almost perfect.

IJL is great for me, as I would not be meeting the caliber of people I do. I'm happy with the mtg. choices, and thank my dating director for the enjoyable matches!

I had a great time on my date. However, my advisor Kate is the Best!

I am happy to deal with Kate who is been working with me and my dates. I still haven't gone with a date for a second time, but it seems that the matches are getting better every time. I think Kate is doing a great job and I really like her.

"IJL" does deliver extraordinary matches. Meeting at delicious restaurants, enchanting atmosphere, and with great company. Will continue meeting thrilling matches and looking forward to making new friends.

My first date so far was a great match and a really good experience. I'm very pleased with my interaction with IJL and my personal rep.

Sade is wonderful! Positive, outgoing, and easy to talk to. She makes the dating experience a pleasure!

I wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for connecting me with Princess. She is attentive, easy to talk to, and efficient. My experience working with her has been great so far! I also wanted you both (Tia and Princess) to know that I really appreciate the effort you have made to turn this into a positive experience for me.

My experience the first 2-3 months has been very positive. Every IJL meeting I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with quality professional people looking for the same. The best part is never seeing your IJL date to be honest, as it's your coordinator job that focuses on finding you a mutual match for life is the goal, zooming in on each meeting you have. I look forward to the next 3 months, this is so exciting! Thank you for your hard work and efforts!

Overall I have met many women, just not the right one for a long term relationship. I'm optimistic that one day that will change. IJL I think tries their best and when things don't quite workout we in some cases can laugh about it knowing not taking things so seriously in this journey is good for all parties. I think there are some who register for this service might have unrealistic expectations. I try to go with the flow.

I've had a good experience with IJL and especially with the Dating Director, Tomeka **. She is very helpful and I believe she is genuinely concerned about her clients meeting good matches. I've enjoyed the dating experience with IJL.

Mitch has been excellent to work with - he gets me and I can talk to him like a good friend. Do what you can to keep this guy - he is awesome and professional.

The Date Coaching session is a great tool to help in the IJL dating process. You get tips on how to make the date successful and it provides excellent feedback from previous dates. This is the kind of feedback you rarely obtain. Real information to help deliver positive results.

It was 4-5 months before my first introduction. We met at a place that was so noisy we could not hear each other. He spends every other weekend away which makes it difficult to establish a relationship. Date #2 also traveled every 2-3 weekends. Date #3 called after 6 weeks. I was told I would have 5 introductions in a year; I had 3. I finally got a fourth after threatening legal action. There are clearly far more women than men in my age group (the men all shared that they had plenty of introductions). Don't waste your money or your time. I have met more high quality guys on my own over the past year.

I enjoyed my conversation with Sheri. I learned a lot about myself and how to grow in my dating experiences. She provided helpful advice and encouragement for my future dating experiences.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to give an acknowledgment to my favorite dating director - Sade. She takes customer service to a level rarely achieved especially in a field where people are emotionally invested. It is easy to become discouraged or frustrated but Sade is quick to make things positive. Sade's customer service and style are an authentic friendliness. She is able to convey an important perspective to this process; until that special meeting happens, have fun!

It's Just Lunch is a professional scam company. NOTHING MORE. They discovered that many people will naively sign a contract for $2,000 that only guarantees a date a month. Most people who sign this contact are thinking there is no way a company would only send me on one date a month, but this is what this company is about. Behind the glossy facade, which is pretty annoying, lurks professional phony scam artist. Isn't it odd that most people either give a 5 star or a 1 star review. HMMMM.

I recommend IJL for a number of reasons. It was the personalized one-on-one interaction with the staff that I needed to help me get over the hesitations and even fear of "putting myself out there". At the same time I was working with IJL I have a friend using other online dating services and there is just no comparison! My friend is frustrated by the lack of quality people she is connecting with, and with the large amount of time she is using to try to connect with someone on her own. My experience with IJL was completely the opposite - not a lot of time, good and quality matches, and personalized attention from the staff. This entire process helped me see myself in a different (more positive!) light. While I found someone outside of IJL, I do feel they helped me do this by giving me the confidence I needed to see myself differently - and I do believe this is a key reason why I was able to find a good person overall.

For the majority of my IJL experience, I was less than satisfied! Because Kim ** listens... the dates have been more closely matched and have been more interesting. IJL needs all of their coordinators to learn from Kim **!

I want to take a moment and express appreciation for Ali **. Thank you for the manner in which she represents the IJL program. She consistently delivers professional and personable information which gives me a sense of confidence in the quality of matches and encourages me to put my best into each introduction.

My dating coach session with Sheri was very helpful. She helped me to stop and take an objective look at myself - from how I dressed for IJL date, my body language and suggestions on how to keeping my conversation light and interesting for myself and my date. Her constructive criticism makes me look forward to my next IJL date with a new sense of confidence.

I do like the overall set-up & have enjoyed the dates. Obviously, some go better than others, but for the most part, they have been OK. Maybe my one concern is the cost in relation to time frame. Two months seem short, but we shall see.

All the girls were so helpful and great about reminding me about days and times. It's been a great experience and I can't thanks everyone enough!

Coaching Session - She allowed me to be open about whatever questions I had. She asked follow up questions to make sure she understood me. She gave positive feedback and tips to enhance my dating skills. She made me feeling comfortable like we were old friends.

Angelica and her team at It's Just Lunch are so amazing. The team members are excellent at what services they provide. This service is well worth the time for busy professionals that see their lives passing them by. The dates are real, fair priced and really offer a fun time. I would refer them to everyone.

In August 2014 I inquired into the dating service, It's Just Lunch. A salesperson, "Dawn" called me to give me some information and to go over the process with me. We had a one hour phone interview before I committed to paying the $3000 fee for six months or 6 dates. Dawn listened to my criteria for potential dates and assured me that she had "many great guys who fit those requirements" "in your area". After I paid the fee and signed the contract and the three day trial period expired with no further contact from Dawn or my dating director, I called and asked why it was taking so long. The very first person I was presented with lived over an hour away from me and was 41 and had never been married. One of my main requirements was that I was not interested in dating someone over the age of 38 who had never been married. This person was described to me as "married to his job" and "immature" so, I declined to be matched up with him.

I have had great dating experiences with I.J.L. It's as easy as answering the telephone and listening to the dating director tell you about the lady they have picked and the arrangements that's been made for you. I've been on several dates arranged by I.J.L. and have met several beautiful ladies. My dating director Angelica called me recently and said, "Michael I have a perfect match for you." I was happy and excited to hear about my date, she sounded perfect.

Well where do I begin. I am a "Late Bloomer", since I worked in the airline industry for almost 11 years and had no social life because I worked weekends. I got out of that and transitioned into my first love and passion that is and has always been radio broadcasting. Now, my professional life is complete. However residing in New York with almost a 5 women to 1 man ratio, it is very difficult to meet and connect with a nice young woman. With that thought in mind I started to think maybe a matchmaker would help. I performed some online research and found It's Just Lunch. They were utterly cordial with me over the phone. I was interviewed by them and asked who I was in search of.

I have had a very positive experience with It's Just Lunch. I am very busy and this has made it so easy to meet people who I would otherwise never connect with. Kim, my date director, has made the process very enjoyable and easy. He genuinely cares. I have met really great guys and am so glad that I signed up.

After initially being very skeptical of IJL - Kim **, dating director won me over - professional, smart & savvy. Thanks!

After a bit of a rocky start with IJL (my dating coordinator left within the first 10 days, I was assigned an interim coordinator who clearly was juggling a lot, and it took a long time to schedule my required in-person coaching session), I was assigned to Erica ** who has been fantastic. So far she has set me up on two good dates, has been responsive to my feedback and has been overall pleasant and fun to work with. I look forward to continuing this process with her over the next few months. She is awesome.

While dating is a process, IJL really helped bring me a wonderful person I'm still dating. What I like is that with this service one meets folks that are motivated to meet someone. No process is perfect but if you communicate with your IJL dating director and stay with it, you'll find a wonderful match.

Having been satisfactorily impressed with the services provided by It's Just Lunch in Louisville, KY, I enrolled my daughter in same in New Orleans. Prior to paying for the dating service, I spoke with the Dating Specialist by phone and was assured that their client base was both professional and extensive, and that they took a personal and sincere interest in each client. None of this is true. This "local" business is actually located in Hollywood, FL, the Dating "Specialists" have no knowledge of the New Orleans area, setting up two dates at restaurants across the lake (over an hour away) even though restaurants in the city are numerous, not formalizing meeting arrangements with area restaurants (having to self locate date), no procedure for notifying clients of emergency weekend cancellations, not respecting personal preferences in a prospective date (athletic, active, professional) and not properly vetting prospective clients (first date arrived excessively late and inebriated). Once they have your money, as far as IJL is concerned, their job is finished! However, your continued disappointment and extreme frustration with IJL is just beginning!

Erica - Makes IJL a fun experience with the ease which she employs her skill!!

Michelle at IJL corporate has turned around my thinking about IJL. As someone who came in out of one of your franchises exploding due to horrible fraud, I was not an IJL fan and only approached corporate again due to the significant but unrealized investment I'd made. However in the 3 weeks since being with Michelle she has managed to fix much of the damage done through amazing service, attention to detail and plain old-fashioned integrity. She is nice. She cares about her clients yet at the same time understands that this is a professional service and is organized, practical and professional at all times. She also listens to you and is able to read between the lines to connect you to what you are looking for. I've had one date since Michelle came on my team, but I could tell within 5 minutes that she had listened to both me and the person I was matched with to hear what were truly looking for so that we would connect. I'm looking forward to working with Michelle going forward, IJL is more than lucky to have her as an employee.

My experience with It's Just Lunch has been very positive. Rachael and the girls truly take the time to listen to feedback and clearly fine tune the process as time goes along. I have met numerous people with traits that I couldn't find through the standard dating practices. Each date gets better and better!! They are timely, proactive and genuinely care about your needs. I would have signed up years ago if I knew dating could be this simple!

The woman that I've had dates with have been very nice but not always met the criteria that I've provided my dating director. I have not found someone that I really like yet.

Overall I was happy with the introductions. It started out a little slow but then my dating counselor and I worked together and introductions were a better match.

After some personal changes in my life, I was ready to start dating. Friends suggested Internet dating sites. After looking at several, I decided that was not for me. A friend mentioned It's Just Lunch. I made the call and from the beginning have had nothing but a great experience. The idea that everything is taken care of by a group of professional people was very appealing - and they did not disappoint! From the initial contact person, my coordinator and then the personal interview, things ran smoothly. The dates were always arranged at really nice places to meet someone. The best part - I met someone almost right away that I am still dating. So glad I made that initial phone call!

I have tried a number of online dating sites with little luck so I thought I would give IJL a try. Boy what an improvement. The men I have met have all been professional, handsome and well spoken. They have all treated me with respect and made me feel very at ease. The restaurants where the "lunch" reservations are scheduled have all been very nice. My only word of advise is that if you check in with the hostess check again after 10-15 minutes to make sure your counterpart has not yet arrived.

This is not a professional service and the "matchmakers" do not have experience or knowledge. The dates do not meet any criteria of what you have requested. They state in the sign up phase that they have lots of clients that match what you want... but unfortunately, this is not true. The fees and contract lengths are based off your income and vary from men and women. If you complain, there is nothing that happens. They do not have the clientele they say they do.

Kim has been fixing me up with guys that are good, successful and fun, but not exactly my type yet. She has been trying really hard, she is really great, upbeat and fun... Overall I thought I would be getting more dates, I was told before I signed up that there were plenty of men who fit my criteria. I like working with Kim, she is the best one I have worked with so far. I just want more dates please.

Erica - Her warm voice is disarming and leads to who you are, very effective for learning about the needs of the client!!

Sheri makes professionalism fun!!

I started using IJL about a month ago and after just a few unsuccessful matches setup by a variety of dating directors, Rich at IJL really hit a home run with my latest match! She is engaging, smart, funny, and everything that I'm looking for in a woman. I work weekends and with my super busy schedule, it's very difficult for me to meet quality people. Rich at IJL made it easy. He set up a Monday night date at a casual but comfortable restaurant in NYC and all I had to do was show up. My date had me at hello! She is beautiful, has a fantastic personality and brains to boot. Our first date went great! I couldn't have scripted it any better. I was amazed by how much we had in common and I think she was too! I don't know what the future holds, but we sure have a wonderful foundation for a great friendship in the very least!
