An extremely interesting concept for people who do not know anybody in the area. The app needs some fine tuning to make the experience a bit more streamlined and clear. The after drinks meetup location was fully booked and my group and another Timeleft group both couldn’t get in which made it awkward as some people were considering just leaving, but we had someone in our group who could navigate us to a new location as she was from the area. The restaurant selected was out of the price range I selected and I ended up spending a lot more money than anticipated. The game questions and the rhythm of the evening is a bit off. If dinner is at 7pm, and the drinks location is 8pm, one hour is not enough time to get to know a table of people. For our dinner they did not even take our order until around 7:40pm. Additionally, the restaurant did not allow us to pay individually. Some members of our group did not drink, and some ordered more expensively than others which stressed out the situation for a solid 20 minutes trying to figure out who had Venmo, who had PayPal, and who could afford a charge for a $500 bill. It brought the vibe down a bit and created some confusion. Overall I would try the app again, and be wary that the projected pacing of the evening that the app suggests is incorrect, and that your restaurant experiences may not be as expected.

Sure, here's a review based on your experience: --- **Review: Timeleft Dinner with Strangers** I recently had a unique dining experience thanks to an app called "Timeleft," which sets up dinner with five random strangers at a random restaurant. I stumbled upon this intriguing concept while scrolling through Instagram and decided to give it a try, even though it meant driving an hour into Manhattan. The app pairs you with like-minded individuals based on a series of questions about music preferences, horoscope signs, religion, and other interests. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the pairing worked. From the moment we sat down, the conversation flowed naturally. We didn't even need to use the app-provided ice breakers because everyone seemed genuinely interested in getting to know each other. The mix of personalities and backgrounds made for a dynamic and engaging evening. The atmosphere was lively, and it felt like dining with old friends rather than complete strangers. Each person brought something unique to the table, leading to a variety of fascinating discussions. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Timeleft and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to meet new people and enjoy a memorable meal. It’s a fantastic way to step out of your comfort zone and connect with others in a meaningful way.

They tell you the morning of your dinner (Wednesday a workday) that they have scheduled you for a dinner that is 1 hour away from where I live. In Paris, the only question they ask you regarding location is Rive Droite or Rive Gauche. Instead, they should ask what Arrondissement you’re in and organize some thing that makes more sense. They literally organized a dinner on the polar opposite side of the city having to travel 1 hour back to my home after dinner or drinks is too late when I have to work the next day, not to mention certain metro lines make me uncomfortable after a certain hour. The support is really slow. I messaged them on WhatsApp during the hours they say they work. No one really answers. Email takes at least a day so if you find out the place, you are having dinner and you have a question that same day forget it you will never get help. The phone number they provide no one answers, they just tell you to message them. If you find out, the restaurant is too far away and you cancel they say they will not tolerate more than two of those in a month you’re supposed to cancel on Monday, but you don’t find out the restaurant is one hour away until the morning of the dinner. Asking peoples astrological sign is bizarre. The idea is good, but they should do things in a way that makes more sense and they should also provide more support that is responsive in a timely fashion, especially the day of the dinner. Disappointing.
