I went on one 8 at 8 dinner before I met my boyfriend. It was not worth the money. The dinner was made out of randomly placed people whose commonality included being free the Friday after Valentine's and maybe under 35. The hostess sat me down near the 2 Indian guys (1 other guy was Asian and the last guy was white) probably because I am also Indian, which I didn't particularly appreciate. They say they do some sort of matching to decide who sits next to who. I am unclear what sort of sorting could be made at first glance. We were at rectangular table that I sat on one edge of, so I was never able to speak to the people at the other end of the table. You would think they would book a round table for the price you pay. Anyway, not worth your time or money. If you just spend a little time weeding out matches on tinder/online apps, you will get better results. This company also tries to get people to delete their negative reviews. I posted a review right after my first dinner in early '18, but was called the next day and asked to take it down. I was also offered an extension on my dinners. I thought if I ever broke up with my bf (who I met on tinder ) I would give 8 at 8 another shot to change my mind. My super expensive dinners ($400) expired before I could try it out again, but long story short, please use your $400 more wisely than me.

Response: the only thing I had in common with the 2 men I was sat next to was the fact we worked in the same industry. I was never asked about my hobbies or interests (was told that was too specific). I wasn't even asked what I looked for in a guy. Like I said before, completely random matching.
