Long Drive, Hoping for a Better Match Next Time

I recently attended a TIMELEFT dinner and overall had an okay experience. The event was well-organized, and I appreciated how friendly, polite, and open the other attendees were. While I didn’t walk away with a deep connection that extended beyond the dinner, I still genuinely enjoyed meeting such a thoughtful and diverse group of people. The conversation was engaging enough, and the vibe felt welcoming, even if not every personality clicked.

While quite loud, the restaurant selected was excellent in terms of food, though it was quite pricey. After that experience, I made sure to opt into a lower-cost event for next time—something I appreciated being able to adjust in the app. One downside is that all the dinners seem to be concentrated in the Winter Park, Florida area. I live in Southern Orlando, so the drive—especially after dinner and a drink—was long and not ideal on a work night.

Another small issue is the timing. The dinner started at 7 PM, which I know is fairly standard, but with the travel involved, an earlier start time (maybe 6 PM) would make it easier to attend without feeling rushed or getting home too late.

While I didn’t feel like this particular group was “my people,” the experience was still valuable. TIMELEFT is offering something unique, and I’m looking forward to trying again. I’m optimistic that future dinners will bring together the right mix of people and spark more lasting connections.

I have decided not to go every week -- it's just too long a drive and too expensive for me to do so. I'll do it occasionally, but I'm considering dropping out of the app due to the long drive. We'll see what happens moving forward.

Best dinner ever!

I used Timeleft twice for dinner and I had the best time ever! Afternoon a really fun Friday night dinner, we decided to keep the fun going and ended up spending the weekend together! Best story ever!

Very cool

I live in a big city and I made 2 Timeleft dinners that I really enjoyed. The app is very nicely done. You can note people you liked and get in touch with them (if they liked you back) or you can let the app know that you would like to avoid meeting someone again. The restaurants selected were fine - nothing exceptional, but good quality-price, absolutely convenient for friendly meetings.

Very good experience. Second dinner with Timeleft and every time I spent a very nice evening with like-minded people. A great opportunity to meet up new people, be it for just one evening or for longer friendship

I love that Timeleft takes the planning off my plate. The evening is already arranged, and I just get to show up and enjoy. The surprise of finding out the restaurant the day before adds a fun sense of adventure and spontaneity. It’s been such an easy, enjoyable way to meet great people and explore local spots.

Meet Some Wonderful People

I meet some new people who I could see being friends with. There were 3 men and 2 women and all but one of us has a lot in common. That's pretty impressive considering they just picked random people. The one person I didn't get along with as well was nice but he didn't enjoy traveling as much as the rest of us. It was a great time. I'd go back.

Worth Every $

I look forward, every week, to going to my Timeleft dinner. I've made some wonderful friends! It's nice that most of the people I sit with are in my age range. It's not perfect. Sometimes the restaurant is too loud, and every now and then I don't connect with most of the people at the table. Overall, I love going to most of the restaurants they choose. I think they are continually trying to develop the choices for more experiences. It's a wonderful idea. I've been going for about 9 months now.

not pleased

The people at the meeting were socially weird which I guess it is to be expected, like maybe they were rejected from other friend groups also this was in Houston, Texas. Also they don’t tell you when you sign up that it’s a recurring charge so obviously they’re desperate attracting the desperate. No thanks.

I’ve done a few dinners

I’ve done a few dinners, just purchasing one ticket at a time so it isn’t on a subscription. I’m surprised how well the guests are matched, and although not every time, I have met a couple of good friends through Timeleft! Love that you can now invite a friend to your dinner too, which makes it a bit less daunting the first time.

I was new to the city and it’s been a lovely way to ‘get out’ when feeling alone.

It was a great experience!

I really appreciated the selection of participants at the table: each of us had common points with the others that made conversation easy and enjoyable.

The experience at the first meeting place was a bit noisy (because there were some very large groups there that evening, which is of course impossible to anticipate), but since the venue itself was pleasant, this did not affect the overall experience in any way.

In conclusion, I had a very enjoyable time and I intend to keep meeting my new acquaintances outside of the organized dinners (mission accomplished 😊), and I’m also looking forward to making new connections at future TimeLeft dinners!

Following a positive feedback of a friend who tried this in the US and Spain when being there on vacation, I gave it a try myself and I was very happy about the first evening. All was organised perfectly fine, no privacy issues discovered (ie that personal details where shared without my approval). The âge range and social background were fitting. Different nationalities, different persônalities made it even more interesting. I had a nice evening in good Company and I can only recommend.

Absolute best. Can’t recommend enough. A bit scary, but totally worth it. Had a great group and made some really cool friends! Lots of “normal” 20-30 y/o s just looking for new friends.

I have been billed $84 every 6 months by Timeleft. Even though I tried to previously unsubscribe through the app, which forwarded me to my Apple ID subscriptions where there was no Timeleft subscription to be seen, I was forced to cancel my card to avoid incurring further transactions on my card. Despite this, I was still billed a further $84 to my new credit card. There is no way to cancel the subscription at all.I have raised this and am yet to receive a response!
