10/31/24 TimeLeft.com Update

OMG, I had a wonderful time. There were supposed to be six of us, but only four showed up. Probably because there were tornado watches all over the city. We met at the American Reserve bar and grill inside the Ambassador Hotel downtown. It was nice and quiet, there weren’t many people there. It was easy to talk and to hear everybody. There were three of us women and one man. One of the women had been to six of these so I pressed her on all things regarding stranger dining!  I liked her the most out of all of the people there, but I didn’t get her number so I’m hoping I can contact her through the app and I’m pretty sure I can.

All four of us were professionals, in our late 50s and early 60s. And I know that everybody could afford the meal because it was kind of expensive. The food wasn’t that bad but the drinks were $21 each. Note to self: make sure you look at the menu before you order. My French onion soup was just OK but the Caesar salad was to die for.

I could tell we were all pretty much the same type of personality. Somebody who would get out on a rainy night to meet three other strangers for dinner. There was never a pause in talking and we all participated pretty evenly. After the dinner, we were asked to give our feedback and a big part of it was “would we have dinner with these people again”.  I answered in the affirmative on everybody. The one lady had told me that you were matched partly by political affiliation and she was wrong about that. So I need to not make that assumption because it is incorrect. All in all, I had a really nice time.

Not sure I recommend the restaurant but I definitely recommend timeleft.com.
