It's Just Lunch

Pros: Staff is accessible via phone and email.
Cons: Matches are not always the best fit, sometimes basic criteria (e.g., agreement on kids, age preferences, etc.) aren't a match; the people arranging the meet-ups don't live locally so sometimes you're driving 45 minutes to a location, sometimes you're driving across the city, when there was a much better meet-up point.

This is my second time as a member of It's Just Lunch, (prior membership in 2009) and will continue to refer others. It is a great service for those re-entering the dating scene. Destinee is thoughtful with her match making skills. She is always cheerful and open to suggestions. This has been a good experience.

My matchmaker has astutely listened to my preferences and expertly delivered on the first match. Though we may not have clicked, the individual she found shares my traits, hobbies, and values. Following the date, she provided invaluable support, helping me prepare for the next match while keeping the experience lighthearted and enjoyable.

I have been working with Tayna from It's Just Lunch for over a year, and my experience has been exceptional. From the very beginning, Tayna has been incredibly responsive to my calls and always takes the time to listen to my feedback. Her friendly and approachable nature makes our interactions comfortable and productive.

Tayna is proactive in arranging all the logistics of my dates, which has made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She genuinely understands what I am looking for in a relationship and goes the extra mile to ensure that each match is thoughtfully considered. After every date, she eagerly seeks my feedback to continually improve the matching process.

Her dedication and professionalism have made my journey towards finding a meaningful connection both enjoyable and hopeful. I highly recommend Tayna and the team at It's Just Lunch to anyone looking for a personalized and attentive matchmaking experience.

It's been a great experience working with Bryana to find a good match for me. Always hard at my age to find a companion that works. Somethings getting someone who doesn't know you personally is the best method.

After signing up for a 24 date package on Feb. 14,2023, I have consulted with seven match makers at one time or another and only now do I feel good about the attention I am getting. My most recent experience with Destinee is an uptick from what transpired earlier. She puts forth great effort and stays in contact better that what I had become accustomed to.

We met at 5 PM at PARC restaurant in Philadelphia. She was very nice and easy to talk to, We had many things in common but by the end of the date, we both decided to be friends instead of dating one another. We exchanged numbers and hopefully in the future we can meet up again for a friendly meal :)

I had Destinee as my personal dating coordinator. I have found her to be kind, & prompt on making plans for me. She is respectful to my requests, listens and receives feedback professionally. IJL needs people like her to contact their clients because she shows a caring personality! And gets dates done!

I just want to recognize Amanda for all the hard work she has put in to finding me suitable people. She listens to what I say and has really impressed me with the people she has matched me up with. Kudos!

Bryanna makes me feel like I can ask her anything. She seems genuinely invested in my happiness. When i have a concern she talks me through it without telling me what to do, and we always END our conversations with a good laugh! It's wonderful to have someone like her in your corner :).

My Rep listened to me and found someone I could see myself getting to know better. She had all of the qualities I was looking for and more. Communication was amazing and I am just so excited to learn more about my date and see if she may be Mrs. Right! Even if she isn't I am excited that IJL set up such a wonderful experience for me and I feel confident that this experience is going to continue to deliver until I do meet Mrs. Right! Thank you IJL

My IJL experience has been great so far. It has really taken the stress out of dating. There's not the rigors and back and forth of online dating and meeting quality people. My matchmaker has been so kind and responsive. In addition to being open to any of my thoughts, opinions, and feelings. I would definitely recommend IJL.

Jaiye has been very attentive and as great communication with me for the dates. He has been very accurate with the selections and what we have discussed as being my type and what I looking for in a relationship. Looking forward to to see dates. Yes, elected for me in the future.

My matchmaker (Giscard) is great; informative, and always available.
My first 2 dates didn't pan out, but I patiently await my next; and hopefully my last. Wish the dates were available morde frequently, when 1 doesn't go as plannes.

Matchmaker Marina provided a very clear description of the proposed date's profile. The lady I met and I hit it off very well - this was certainly the person that I had been presented. This was certainly a good match. A very commendable introduction by Marina.

Jaiye listens closely to my preferences and has been super responsive and attentive to my needs during the matching process for dating. He has expertly and intuitively taken my needs and preferences and made great matches for me during this process.

I have been a member with IJL for 11 month (since the end of November 2023). For the first 7 month I was very unsatisfied with the service I was getting, in other words I was not getting any service at all. In July 2024 I was contacted by agent Marina who was a matchmaker for the guy who was interested to meet with me. I really liked Ms. Marina's approach and professionalism in matchmaking and for the first time I experienced the best service in IJL and I requested Ms. Marina if she could be my matchmaker. I started getting more and more dates with great man in town since Ms. Marina took over my case. My rate for Ms. Marina is 5/5.
Rate for IJL is 3/5 for the bad experience (for no service) I had for 7 month.

Eyrina and the IJL team did a great job picking my 1st match. I loved having the person pre-interviewed and screened for me and the venue reservations arranged for us. I'm looking forward to my next experience.

Eyrina has been very patient and detail oriented. She takes the time to listen and give advice when solicited. She is kind hearted and smart. She is helping me in this journey and I trust her judgment. I feel like I can tell her all my thoughts freely and that her feedback will be direct and honest.

I've had two dates so far and both were enjoyable. I like the fact that my dating coaches are open to feedback, willing to listen and learn about my dreams and wishes.

I am very early in the process and Jaiye has been helpful. I would like follow up communication on dates to happen closer to the proximity of the dates. I will be able to communicate more after a few more dates. All arrangements that Jaiye have made on my behalf have worked out well.

I signed up with IJL about a year ago. Overall I am disappointed with my membership because I have not been able to find a potential partner. I signed up for the de luxe program and spend a lot of money. I have only been on 1 date and the few other times that I was interested in meeting someone the dates were cancelled last minute.
My matchmaker Amy was absolutely delightful. She really took the time to get to know me and I know that she did her best to find a good match for me.
The problem was however that there were no men in the network that I was even remotely interested in. That was the biggest disappointment for me in this whole experience.
I know though that Amy had my best interest at heart. I was extremely satisfied with her work.

I have had two dates with IJL. For the most part they were positive but, no match I am in my sixties and the dating pool is limited.
