It's Just Lunch

IJL does the hard work for you! They find you a match and set up the when/where you meet. The rest is up to you! It's basically a blind date, except you've seen a picture and know a little about each other. If you want to see them again you exchange contact info. If not, you part ways. It feels so much safer this way! IJL verifies everyone so you know you aren't getting cat-phished. My matchmaker Anita W really takes the time to speak with her clients to learn as much about them so as to better match them. I've enjoyed the dates she's set up for me.

3 of the 4 women I was introduced to were only fulfulling their obligations to go out since they couldn't get their money back from IJL. They seemed nice, but did not want to be there. Lot of emotional history and would say yes to a second date and then no. I did find someone that I'm going out with multiple times and seems very nice.

My experience with IJL has been good. Anita is my matchmaker and she is very detailed and makes sure she has a good match for me. I trust her and know that she has my best interest at heart. Her directions are clear about where to go and what to do regarding the date. She follows up after the date and she genuinely cares. I enjoy working with her!

I've been with IJL for app 3 months, so far it's been great. My matchmaker { Eyrina} has been great setting me up with wonderful dates. More than I could handle which was not a bad thing.
I haven't been disappointed in any of the dates I've been on.
Great service

I've only had the first two dates of 12 with IJL, and this process has been so useful to me already! I've learned a lot about what I'm looking for, about what's important to me. I've learned about how I want to interact with dates. These learnings require practice and exploration, on dates with the right kinds of people. That's where IJL comes in.

Tricia R was my executive matchmaker, and I think that she did a great job listening to what I was looking for and finding a great potential match for me. She has really good energy and was very excited to find the right person for me. Mike and I had a great time on our first date - we made a great connection and had a lot in common. We have been texting/talking since, and are looking forward to date #2! Overall, I feel I have met some great people through IJL, and appreciate being introduced to people I would not have met on my own.

Sales people convinced me about the quality and professionalism of their service. It wasn't the case or even close, the dates they sent me on were with women with nothing in common with me.
IJL is a complete waste of money and more importantly time.

My Executive Match Maker (Elliot) did an amazing job. He truly analyzed my likes and dislikes, and matched me with a beautiful woman who met 80-90% of my primary likes. Elliot worked closely with the both of us to schedule the first date quickly, but also gave us ample time to prepare for it. He went above and beyond to coordinate a date and time which worked for both our schedules. Neither one of us was terribly inconvenienced. My date with her was the best: great conversation and dinner lasting a little over 3hrs. Elliot followed up with me a few days after, and helped me plan the next step to having a second date with her soon. Thanks Elliot / IJL.

He was nice but the vibe was a little off. I didn't like the way he dressed. He a little too old fashioned for me. And didn't talk about his personal life.

I signed up with two matchmaking companies this year and the two agencies were night and day different. I'm having a very positive experience with Cupid's Coach, and not so good with It's Just Lunch. I'm here in Southern CA and the IJL matchmakers are all in Florida. They've never met me and they just seem to be throwing me together with just anyone.

Will D, matchmaker at IJL, handled the details of where and when to meet my dates. There was a change in one candidate's availability and Will D made the effort to reschedule my date with him. When I show up for my first date I'll know for certain that each of us will have elected to be there. This is one significant advantage of working with It's Just Lunch, as opposed to going it alone. Will D set up lunch with confidence and enthusiasm and designated a place to meet. That's a place to start.

Jayie was a gem. He took his tome and matched me up with the perfect date. It was very weird, but we everything in common right from the start and ended up in a very happy relationship within a week...unbelievable I know but true.

I would highly recommend Jaiye to all present and future IJL clients. He's professional and knows his business...THE BEST!

I have been using IJL for about 3 months. It is a pleasure to work with Amber. I have been presented with three matches and been on one date. Another date is being scheduled. Benihana was a terrific spot for a date and the restaurant was expecting us.

I appreciate the attention to detail (such that they can) that IJL spends to find the best match they can with pool of candidates they have access to. They follow up after each date so that they can further refine the process. I also like that each member that I have interacted with at IJL has lots of experience and really empathize with their clients

I believe Bryanna may be the first matchmaker I have worked with at IJL who reviewed my profile and looked for a suitable match instead of trying to match me with people who were in many ways the opposite of what I am looking for. She listens and asks questions. I am confident that if I continue to work with her, she will get me my forever match.

Overall I have been very pleased with IJL. I have been with them for several years. I am not into dating apps and this is a great way to meet professional people. They do the work for you! I have had several matchmaker's over the past, I know Eyrina is the best one I have had. She listens and understands. Some in the past and I believe are no longer there, was just checking boxes. IJL keep up the good work

Thank you

After 5 months of membership, I finally got a date worth accepting. It was so good, we've decided to go on a 2nd date! IJL's restaurant venues in Albuquerque appear to be very limited and were placed at Buca di Beppo, serving family style portions of italian food. How does that work for an intimate date for two? Suggest IJL expand it's footprint.

Tricia bent over backward to make a date happen, when all the factors kind of fell through. I appreciate her so much. Especially for the fact that the date she made happen is such a great connection!

I've worked with Perla at IJL for a few months now, and I find her to be very responsive and attentive to my needs. She stays "on top of" the logistics to make the members, restaurants and IJL staff stay in sync and result in quality matches.

Wish I would have done my homework better and saw these reviews here. Save your money. The person in sales painted a very nice picture was very responsive spent a lot of time with me but once they had my money it became a different story. I was explaining there'll be 24 matches. Later I found out it's match opportunities, so if I don't accept the match that they give me I just lost that match. The first guy was really not what I was looking for just in photo and description. The second guy was better the date was set up and he no-showed. No response from anybody at the company two days later I finally found out he had a flight change. That matchmaker was not very good at communicating in fact I didn't hear from her for 2 weeks after I was stood up. I got a new matchmaker who was better, the first date they gave me was okay but I went on it because I knew I would lose that match if I didn't and I had to trust the process. However that date also failed to show, said he was stuck in traffic. I asked for a refund and was told someone to get back in 48 hours, however it's been exactly one week and I finally spoke with someone who said a refund's not possible because they can still give me opportunities. They are escalating me to someone who might be able to help me but said they don't do refunds. Did I mention the service cost $5,000? So I'm currently disputing it with my credit card company. More pathetic than online dating ever was

While I don't recommend It's Just Lunch at all, my experience with Elliot as a match maker has been wonderful! He is by far the best Match maker I have worked with at IJL and I have worked with quite a few. He has a nice calm, caring energy that is so needed in this line of work. I highly recommend Elliot.

After 3 matchmakers and 1 year, NOT A SINGLE DATE, and no follow up either.
Asked for a refund and was told "it is up to their discretion".
STAY AWAY
Need to involve an attorney.
Anyone had luck doing that?

I just had my first "It's Just Lunch" date last night but it was "just dinner". I met a delightful guy with whom I had an easy conversation in a Lincoln Center area restaurant. Any nervousness I felt about "venturing out there" again was lessoned by the professionalism of my experience with "It's Just Lunch"
