Totally worth it

It's really nice meeting new people and equally nice getting to know new restaurants. I had three experiences so far and each one was truly unique in their own way. If by misfortune you have a bad first experience, give it another chance, it's totally worth it.

Amazing people and a great place

Amazing people and a great place. I loved the whole experience even when I had my reservations. The way they chose the people is excellent. I identified with all the people who went to the dinner. I'm planning to go every time I can.

Bad experience

Timeleft have overbooked my table at tge restaurant and i was seated to another with age mismatch. Even on my supposed table, there were 5 guys and 2 girls. I raised a complaint and was answered by an AI robot.
Afterall, they fill the tables on first come, first in. There is no consideration to preferences, gender balance, just nothing. In addition, they keep everything secret until 24 hours before the event just to tie yoh in. What's so secret about it? I really do not recommend this app and there are many other way to hang out better than this one, should it be on facebook groups or other sites.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🧡 We get where you’re coming from, and want to clear a few things up with enthusiasm! The restaurant is only revealed the day before because the surprise is part of the magic✨ Our algorithm does take into account preferences and balance, though if you only joined once, the available tables that night may not have been the best affinity.
About support: the AI reply is just our automated first step, our customer service team always continues the conversation if you want to chat. We read everything! And unlike free groups, Timeleft ensures safety and security standards, if anything happens at dinner, you can always reach out. We truly care about giving our community a safe, smooth, and fun experience 🧡

What a great concept

What a great concept! I've been to two dinners, both were enjoyable and everyone is in the same boat. They pick good restaurants and you can specify a budget. I'm booked to go again and will continue to do so.

Cannot book multiple events together

Cannot book multiple events together. Support staff is slow on requests. Only response always is that they will update the app. An update that is never coming it seems. Without that feature it's a hit or a miss that you can join enough events whenever you find time to make the most of the subscription. After the dinner, not always a lot of people go to the bar. Maybe they split the crowd to multiple bars. This leads to very low numbers and doesn't seem worth it.

Billing nightmares

The dinners were OK. But when I went to cancel my account was the problem. I tried cancelling payment, removing my card, and deleting my account and they are still trying to bill me.

We’re really sorry you had this experience 🧡 Billing and cancellations should be simple and stress-free, not a nightmare. Thank you for sharing this. We’re working on making payment management clearer and more reliable so situations like this don’t happen again. Your feedback helps us improve ✨

The business should be more involved in the experience

The group was ok. I was not expecting to connect with everyone but the restaurant was noisy so not good for a fluent conversation with everyone. I met a very nice person and we decided to change phone numbers. But they charge you for the experience, at least you should get a discount in the restaurant! They make a reservation for people at a restaurant and that's all what they do.

Thanks for sharing your experience 🧡 We’re so glad you connected with someone meaningful, but we hear you on the noisy restaurant and the feeling that the business could be more involved. Your point about discounts or added value is super valid. We want the whole experience to feel worthwhile, not just the reservation. Feedback like this helps us grow and improve ✨ Hope to see you soon!

Great way to meet new people!

On the recommendation of a colleague, I attended my first TimeLeft dinner while on a business trip in Dublin, Ireland.

What went well:
• Spent a lovely evening with 5 (+2, see below) charming, interesting people.

What could have been better:
• Two additional people arrived a few minutes late; they said they were not informed about the location of the dinner and had to call TimeLeft to find out. The restaurant also apparently did not expect them; our table was too small to accomodate them, so they had to sit separately at another table nearly.
• The restaurant was nice, but more expensive than I expected for the $$ price preference I selected. I paid about $60 for a glass of wine, a (small) main dish, and a dessert.

Overall I found the experience quite pleasant. I plan to attend another dinner this week in my home city!

So glad you gave Timeleft a try in Dublin and had a lovely evening with such an interesting group! 🧡 We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback, too. And you’re right! Late arrivals without proper info and mismatched restaurant pricing can affect the experience, and we’ll keep working hard to improve communication with both guests and venues. Thrilled to hear you still found it pleasant overall and are already planning your next dinner, that’s exactly the spirit we love to see! ✨ See you at the next one!

Great way to meet people!

I’ve been to two dinners so far and have loved getting to know other people, without the added pressure of it being 1:1 (which can be more difficult for me). The restaurants have been overall okay, nothing too exciting, but I’m not really going for the food anyway! Definitely plan on continuing.
