I have done a couple encounters like this. The ladies enjoyed an off the clock meal before bcd and voluntarily accepted my offer. The one encounter was amazing as we got to know each other quite well before bcd. The second went poorly because she basically got drunk (she probabably showed up with a few drinks in her) and decided to leave before bcd because she was tired. I still enjoyed our meal together but was highly disappointed that we didn’t do bcd together. I was only out dinner and drinks though so not a killer.

When done right I think it can be a much better meeting but I also understand many providers would have no interest in off the clock time. Either way is fine with me.
