" Had a bunch of friends over and decided to go to Convivial for a celebratory dinner. Key highlights were the cozy ambience and expert service. Our waiter knew the menu inside out, which helped us make great choices. I especially enjoyed the fried coq au vin, although another friend discovered their steak was a bit overcooked. We all had a great time nonetheless and appreciated the effort put into each dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Convivial was a charming spot to enjoy dinner after a long day. The ambiance was warm, and it felt welcoming from the moment we walked in. While the food was quite nice, especially the steaks, the dessert could have been more decadent. The service was accommodating, enhancing the overall experience. Would recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had lunch at Convivial and was blown away! The flavors were bold, and it seems every dish was made with quality ingredients. I adored the beet salad, and my friends loved their burgers. The service staff was very well-trained and attentive, making the whole experience enjoyable. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mediocre brunch at Convivial. While the atmosphere was cozy, the food did not meet the high expectations I had built up. The quality was average and didn’t feel as authentic as I had hoped. The service staff was kind and attentive, but the food didn’t make me want to return immediately. I may reconsider in the future, but right now, I'm indifferent. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Convivial for dinner last week with friends and had a lovely time. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, ideal for dining in good company. The food lived up to its reputation; the boeuf bourguignon was a hit! I would say portions were decent, although I feel some items could have been more generously served. Overall, I would recommend it for a family or friend gathering. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Convivial was a mixed bag. While I enjoyed the three-course prix fixe menu, the food was good but not life-changing. The service was above average, and I must say the ambiance was appealing. I would say it's a nice place for casual gatherings, but I might not come here for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't very impressed with my meal at Convivial. While some dishes were decent, the duck I ordered felt bland and lacked the depth I expected from a French restaurant. The service was friendly but a bit slow, which was disappointing for the price point. However, my partner enjoyed the steak and the dessert was a high point. I might give it another try but not anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
