" Convivial has become my go-to place for a delightful dining experience! The quiche is absolutely divine and is perfect for brunch. As a fan of French cuisine, everything from the savory to the sweet has impressed me. The service is consistently attentive, making every visit feel special. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Couldn’t have asked for more! I had lunch at Convivial and it was delightful. The food was exquisite, particularly the desserts. Everything felt so fresh, and the staff was genuinely friendly. The only downside was that the prices were a bit on the higher side, but the quality justified it. Would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic French bite in DC! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Convivial, I finally decided to try it out for my birthday dinner. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made sure to make my night special by decorating my dessert. While the main courses were good, I can't stop thinking about the rich chocolate mousse we ordered for dessert. I will definitely come back for another celebration! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Convivial by chance and I couldn't be happier! The happy hour menu made it easy to try multiple items, and the French onion soup was divine! The vibe was intimate, perfect for catching up with friends. Service was attentive, and we felt well taken care of during our entire meal. I will definitely be recommending this restaurant to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, we celebrated an anniversary at Convivial and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere enveloped us and set the tone for the evening. We opted for the prix fixe menu, which at first seemed like a risk, but every dish was a delightful surprise. The boeuf bourguignon was tender and flavorful, while the tiramisu for dessert melted in your mouth. The staff was exceptionally gracious, giving us a complimentary bottle of wine as a gesture to our special occasion. If you are a fan of French cuisine, this place is an absolute must-visit! " (*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*)
