Timeleft Arvostelua 713

I really enjoyed mu first Timeleft dinner. The restaurants was nice and I met interesting people at my table. I am looking forward to go to more Timeleft dinners soon!

It was a first great experience. I like the people that were at the table, and we connected quite nicely.
We were 7 at the table...probably this was the only way we could be allocated and i was the unfortunate one siting in the corner of the table, but to be hones, i am not sure who i would have left out of the group, so i am happy we connected.
The restaurant was ok (not necersarly a 5 star) but for me the experience is more about conecting with people than the choice of the restaurant.
Looking forward to use it abroad as well, as this was the main reason why i installed it and used it locally in the first place 😊

I never thought it could be that easy to meet new and interesting people around my age. They were equally interested in sharing ideas thoughts and experiences and potentially making new friends. Time Left makes it easy and fuss free and I had the best time.

It was nice meeting new people and I will definitely attend another session. The restaurant was beautiful, but I would NOT want to return. It was very high priced for what you got. $55/pp and I had about 8 tablespoons of food; mostly pureed and finely diced veggies (no substance). It tasted good, but so not worth the price. If another meetup goes to a different restaurant, I'll be there. But if it's this same restaurant, I'll cancel.

Zero customer service. I submitted a customer service request. No response (now more than a week later). But they did email me within 48 hours after my request to ask how satisfied I was with their response.

What was my issue? Everywhere they talk about how you'll meet 5 other people. I've gone 3 times. First two times were fine. Easy conversations but no real friendship connections (and that's not Timeleft's responsibility) - they did what was promised ... connected 6 people for dinner.

Third time there were 2 other people. There's a huge difference in the dynamic between 3 people vs 6 people at a table. If I knew it was only 3 of us, I would have canceled (plus - they promise 6).

Additionally - they complete disregard the price range for restaurant. I selected the least expensive and we still ended up at an expensive place (and I know the difference in my city - nobody would consider this one budget). I would have preferred to cancel and reschedule. But at a minimum, I'd like a refund on my fee I paid to Timeleft. That's not happening because they ignored my customer service request.

I'm canceling my service and deleting the app.

Great idea but every diner so far has had a important majority of women (5 for the 1st dinner and all women are the other diners)

I went for one meal which was ok (they really have no idea about the restaurants by the looks of it). The second one they allocated me to was a steak house, yet I stated vegetarian as my preference. The steak house had barely any vegetarian options. I complained and they reallocated me immediately the day before the meal, then less than 3 hours before the meal they again allocated me to the same steak house! This time I had enough and asked for a full refund. I received the refund and not a single apology for what happened nor the inconvenience.

Mi sono iscritto per un mese e andrò alla cena mercoledì 27.8 . Voi mi chiederete ovviamente come posso fare una recensione e vi rispondo subito : Il test di entrata è assolutamente superficiale e dozzinale, assolutamente non idoneo per stabilire anche la minima affinità. Pensate se Mercoledì prossimo mi trovo davanti 5 covidioti o qualche cerebroleso pro ue e russofobico , o qualche credente religioso (che poi è intellettualmente e psicologicamente uguale ai primi 2 indottrinati e ammaestrati) ? Che faccio??? Iniziate a fare dei test seri con possibilità di risposte aperte (senza opzioni) e con domande mirate , mica ci vanno i 6enni al ristorante... Comunque vi farò sapere, sempre che non censurino le recensioni come ormai fanno tutti,in tal caso , nisba

Simple and easy, worth going back. I only wish they had more cocktail mixers in wicker park and that they did a better job ensuring the bar was close to the restaurant.

I had this on my radar for a while, and when I moved to a new city in Europe, I finally took a chance. It was worth it! The people in my group were very nice. There was zero awkward silence, and we actually connected later through the app to meet up again.

Really nice people and a great dinner! Already signed up for a second one!

The concept is fantastic. Take a group of strangers, put them together for dinner at a place they likely have not previously visited, feed them discussion topics, and just see where it heads. I can quibble about the occasional restaurant in my city that eschews parking for their patrons, but the experience itself is routinely a joy. Note that I chose a date for this, but I’ve enjoyed this enough to have participated over a dozen times.

Seldom does an instagram ad captivate me, let alone prompt me to act. At first I was skeptical but now I've gone more times than I can remember. Trying TimeLeft is something I'd recommend to anyone at least once. I've made lifelong connects and found some nice restaurants as well. I've made more than enough friends now but I'll likely continue to use it from time to time.

I had a great time meeting 7 interesting and friendly people in Durham, NC. The food and service at the restaurant, Mother and Son's Trattoria, were very good and they accommodated separate checks, which was a real bonus! I didn't receive an opportunity to meet any of the participants again, which I had heard would be part of the follow-up. I'm planning to attend again, despite that the closest city available is about 90 minutes away. I've recommended Timeleft to several people since my first dinner.

La idea es buena pero yo no pude conocer personas parecidas en términos de nivel socioeconómico.

I took a chance to go out and have dinner with 5 strangers. It was great! Met 5 kind, nice and friendly people which I would gladly like to meet again.The restaurant and bar they picked was also nice. Good job Timeleft 👍🏾 and thank you.

It’s not perfect, but it’s better than anything else I’ve seen including meet up.

If you can make one connection at out of the potential 12 people that are there then I think it’s a win.

Some observations after two events.
Not every restaurant is going to be conducive to conversation. Some restaurants don’t like catering too groups of people and splitting tabs.

I’m not sure if it’s my age category but people don’t usually follow up to the bar after the dinner or even willing to do something else. It seems they either they don’t have the stamina or they simply don’t find it compelling.

To summarize I have made some connections, so I think it is worthwhile. There are some refinements and hurdles to be overcome. Look forward to see what the future brings.

I had a lovely dinner and meet some lovely ladies but I don’t see the app as anything more than a facilitator or third party booking site.

It would be helpful if they were to move beyond dinner and drinks to something solid that actually requires participants to engage in a more meaningful way. Perhaps events with larger groups were you are matched ahead of time but your match is kept secret until later in the evening; that way you spend the evening speaking to other potential friends and engaging. Dinner and drinks isn’t suitable in today’s world. A lot of people have forgotten how to build relationships or have a conversation and need prompts to be less awkward. Additionally, it’s not always affordable. A larger event in a bigger space would be more cost effective and allow the app to gain a sizeable profit

As an introvert in a new city, I’ve been looking for ways to meet new people — a daunting and nerve-racking task. A friend recommended Timeleft, and although I was very apprehensive and even considered backing out on the day of, I’m so glad I went!

I ended up having a great meal with four wonderful people — all repeat diners — who made me feel incredibly welcome. Some of us connected after dinner and plan to meet again. I’ve already scheduled my next dinner!

Horrible and extremely isolating

I attended my first TimeLeft dinner in Madeira, London, and it was one of the most awkward, unfriendly evenings I’ve ever had. I arrived a bit late (about 7:50 for a 7:00 start) and at first there was a quick “hi, hello” from a few people, but after that… nothing. No one asked me a single question the entire night — especially the people right next to me. I tried to start conversations, but got minimal or no response, as if I wasn’t even there.

Your app promises people will take interest in others’ stories. In reality, I sat there like a statue eating my dinner in silence, feeling excluded like it was back in school when people make you feel isolated on purpose. The atmosphere was cliquish — small groups talking only to each other — and there was another guest sitting alone the whole time too.

I’d also chosen vegetarian, but was seated with non-vegetarians, which made the experience even worse. And at the end, someone who barely spoke English was going around trying to collect numbers for a WhatsApp group — which felt absurd considering nobody had even talked to me.

Overall, a horrible, unfriendly, and overpriced waste of an evening. I left as soon as the dinner was over and will not be coming back.

The only thing TimeLeft made me do was keep asking myself how much time was left until I could leave.
