“Truth be told, Convivial excels in all areas…Of course, the real reason diners keep coming back to this energetic hot spot is most certainly for the food: bold and playful takes on the tried-and-true that are made for sharing."

"Warm bread and soft butter open dinner, and how nice to hear the bread crackle at the touch. Then the appetizers start coming and you congratulate yourself for having made the decision to dine here."
