It's Just Lunch with Amy as my agent

By Jing L., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I’ve been very impressed!

By Alvin W., Staunton, VA, Verified Reviewer

Since the pandemic hit, I haven’t been out as much as I once did. Consequently, I’ve missed many opportunities to meet new single women. And then I heard about It’s Just Lunch. Once I made contact, I was immediately impressed. I’ve tried other dating sites, but with It’s Just Lunch, I don’t have to browse through hundreds of profiles. And I have a matchmaker who has spent time getting to know me and what I’m looking for. My experience has been favorable and I recommend their services. Thank you, It’s Just Lunch!

Vanessa from It's Just For Lunch

By Kate A., Toronto, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I signed up with this company almost two years ago. I wanted to try hard to find the great partner. At the beginning it took time to find the right person to work with. I do not lie that I was frustrated, then I started working with Vanessa. It has been a life experience. I have not found my match yet, but I learned from her to know better myself, to understand what I am really looking for. Even I am a great professional, it takes time to understand where to fit myself. Even though I am complicated, Vanessa can easily read through my words and expectations and teach me to never rush anything...I will understand when it will be my time. Meanwhile, she is giving me the opportunity to have wonderful dates with many interesting men. I do not lie that I am frustrated about timing, but she contacts me only when she is sure to not waste my time and giving me the wonderful experience of a nice date. Wish you can enjoy the fun part of dating, and the amazing experience to deal with Vanessa - Just for Lunch.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Having fun with Vanessa in order to find the best match

Benefit from Vanessa's expertise

Understand that life is destiny, and it has to have its own path

My first date arranged by It's Just Lunch

By Corliss R., Simi Valley, CA, Verified Reviewer

Even though I have only been out on one date, the whole experience has been quite pleasant. The matchmaker, Amy M, added a lot of value to the service with her professionalism and knowledge of the services offered. I do look forward to more dates in the future until I find the right person. I have expanded my geographical territory and hopefully this will bring in more of a selection.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

My matchmaker, Amy M, is professional and understood my desires to start dating again, explained in detail what the services had to offer.

My husband passed away, she was compassionate and caring, she was engaged in listening to the type of partner I am looking for.

The Zoom meeting added a personal touch to the interview process, as opposed to filling out a questionnaire and sending in some photographs.

I love the fact that the other person was interviewed as well.

I appreciated that Amy M arranged the meeting place for lunch at Vitello's in Studio City, I liked the experience even though I was quite nervous.

Signed up for the service the beginning of the year, have only been on one date with a very nice person, but no interest on my part to continue seeing him.

My file was transferred to another matchmaker, Lauren, she did not call, and the only reason she finally called is because I reached out to her.

She had a very caviler approach, made me feel she was not really interested in my situation.

Since I have widened my geographical scope, I hope to see more dates in the future.

Absolutely a scam

By Rachel A., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

Total scam. Don't waste your money. I signed up in 2019. I live in West Los Angeles. Tons of people. I was given one date 3 months in after complaining.

Just to give you an idea of my attractiveness level, I've had modeling offers. I was asked to drive very far initially, which I refused. I was shown a picture of a normal-looking guy, not great looking, but I was open to meeting him. The guy who showed up looked nothing like the picture and was very overweight, the one thing that I said was non-negotiable.

There is a lid for every pot, but we can't help what we are attracted to and not attracted to. Additionally, his personality was terrible. I was never given another date and was told there weren't enough people in my area, Los Angeles, again.

They kept trying to pressure me to go on dates with people 15 years older or people who lived 3 hours away or people who weighed 300+ pounds.

I think if a company is doing so badly that these are the only dating options they have they shouldn't be charging people $4,500. I was guaranteed 24 dates in 12 months, but only given 1.

I could take them to court, but the headache isn't worth it.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love my matchmaker Debra!

By Peg S., Baltimore, MD, Verified Reviewer

Debra has been fantastic. Her insights are spot on. She takes the time to tell me a little something about each one of my dates. She is also very practical with her tips and suggestions and I find myself enjoying each and every conversation. While most dates end up in the friend zone, each and every one has been an adventure. Thanks to Debra I give IJL a five-star review.
