It's Just LunchReviews 396

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.

The 4 star review is for Tamia only, who attempted to rectify my terrible experience, for which this review is supposed to be for. I would rate the overall service as a 1, because there is no 0.
Please do not let them tell you "you can get out after 3 dates". I am not happy with the amount of effort I have to put in to get a date/rescheduled date. There appears to be a high no show rate. I definitely wish I never purchased these services.

I did IJL before, like 10 years ago and it wa great. This time around has been horrible, they really have had a downfall. I have been through countless matchmakers, every one of them sucks. Their communication is horrible, if a matchmaker quits, it takes them several weeks to contact you with your next matchmaker. They had the worst time finding me matches even when I took away all the parameters. They truly suck and should be ashamed of themselves as a business.

I only wish I could prevent others from spending their money here. PLEASE read the fine print and do NOT believe the lies they will tell you in order to get you to sign up. The only thing worse than the actual service is when you try to get customer service. You will finally get to a manager who will speak down to you, lecture you and basically say " thanks for signing up, we are sorry you are not happy with the service we provided". Save your money!

The service is not a service at all. They have insufficient members to met their commitment and an open-ended contract that gives them eternity to provide the committed number of dates. In over two years I have had two actual dates, two no shows, and countless cancellations. I have spoken with management to no avail. Wish I had done my homework in advance as plenty of similar reviews exists as well as lawsuits.

It's a great concept and there is a need in the marketplace but IJL is not a viable option nor a reputable company.

Have met a number of nice ladies. Debra has worked hard to make good matches for me. Her job is not easy, especially for my age group of seniors. By this stage of our lives, our patterns, circle of friends and associates is typically well established. This reality makes matching more difficult. Debra has been very accommodating and spent the time needed to get to know me as a person so that she could make better choices for my introductions.

I was at first with another web site, to find my ideal match, but was so disappointed.
I saw people who were in no way compatible professionally with me or my qualifications. On line dating sites also left me wondering if there was any thing real with these people who were looking for their: soul mates"
Some of these encounters are best relegated to the past. With ijl, especially "the Luxe division", all experiences were somehow so relaxed. There was an element of counseling after dates, and feed back, that I got from my dating coaches, that i had so craved, but i finally had. My experience with my local rep was informative and pleasant, and lead to some awesome photos.
Although I have not been matched yet with my partner, I remain optimistic, that IJL will find me my perfect match, and get me closer to my goals of finding the right fit for my quirky, fun, yet serious and independent personality.

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.
