About


Chef Cedric opened Convivial in November 2015 to accolades and rave reviews. The menu has evolved to be reminiscent of the bistro fare found on the streets of the French towns in which Chef grew up. Those looking for a quick meal an enjoy s bite at the bar, which offers happy hour pricing at different times depending on the day of the week. Although the restaurant is distinctly French at dinner, guests can induldge in "Brunch Américaine" Saturdays & Sundays. Lunch is a perfect medium of the American classics from the brunch menu and the French fare of dinner.
