Anita has been helpful with the entire process from helping me with picking out the right photos to improving my profile.
In addition, she listened to my needs and worked with me to find the right person and to help with the location of the first meeting to make sure that the location was truly a good mutual meeting place. So far, the picks have been spot on.

Genie took the time to truly understand what I am looking for in a life partner and matched me up with someone who was a very good fit. We decided not to move forward for other reasons but I definitely am so grateful I went through this process and had Genie as my matchmaker. Any fears or concerns I had about this process are now gone, and I'm actually super excited about my next date! YAY!

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.
Length of Use: 2+ years
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
You know you're meeting an actual person
They don't share last names or any contact info with your match

Waiting multiple months between getting a match/date

Not having an IJL rep/office to contact on weekends if necessary

After a few cancellations, I finally had a good date in New York City at a fine restaurant. My date was chatty and we hit it off well (I think), we both had things in common and could connect on quite a few levels. She was on time as I was as well, and I think we both had a good early dinner. I think IJL made a good choice with this date!

Jaiye is my Executive Matchmaker and he is great! I’ve just begun working with him, but I can tell he’ll be attentive to my dating preferences. His communication process is much better than the efforts I had to take while on Match.com. The one date I’ve been on so far was really nice and the next date I’m going on tomorrow also looks good. Jaiye is willing to tailor my dating profile so that the dates he or his colleagues find are best suited to me. I’m looking forward to working with Jaiye.

I signed up for this service because I was so tired of feeling like I had a full-time job online dating only to be disappointed when I did meet someone. It was exhausting and discouraging. My experience with It's Just Lunch has been the opposite! IJL does all the work for you, finding a match and setting up the date! I have been on 2 great dates and met 2 genuinely nice men. It has been such a breath of fresh air to be able to show up to a date and be pleasantly surprised with the company and conversation. I would recommend this service to anyone who wants to stop the apps and enjoy a real connection.
Length of Use: 3–6 months

My first contact with IJL was with James. He asked lots of questions about me and about the kind of person I am looking for. He was encouraging, especially since I was nervous about this new adventure. Anita is my dating coach and she is easy to speak with, listens well, and is very helpful.
My first date went very well. I am pleased.
Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Pros and Cons
They listen to who I am and what I am looking for in a long term relationship.
They find people for you and so far it has been a very good experience.
They book the place and all is ready for you to meet your lunch date!
For me, there is no market area in the city I live, so the closest market area is an hour from where I live. Hopefully it will swoop down towards my town.
I understand the quality of the business they are doing, however the first mention of the cost was a bit startling.
