Convivial - Washington, D.C.

Out of the 5 dishes we got, 2 were tasty. To start, we got the bluefin tuna (tasty) and pate (medicore). For entrees, we got the porkchop and steak (both mediocre). For dessert, we got the chocolate mousse dessert, which was amazing! In hindsight, we wouldhave skipped the disappointing and overly expensive entrees for extra dessert. The presentation of the food and the service wasgood, but it wasn't intimate at all I could fully hear the conversations to my left and right, but I struggled to hear myfriend sitting across from me. I expected better food and atmosphere for the price, but was very disappointed.

Dino was our server. Very polite, prompt, checking in with us at convenient times. We sat on the patio and he offered us bug spray (for the mosquitos right away). The food was phenomenal. I had the cassoulet and the duck skin was perfectly crispy, themeat tender and flavorful. My boyfriend had the the steak, which was perfectly cooked and served with the most delicious fries.Our sincere compliments to the chef and staff.

Went for dinner last night and it was by far one of the best dinners I had in DC. The chef worked with me to help select dishes to accommodate my dietary restrictions. The dessert was amazing and super light we didn?t feel guilty having 3 different ones!Highly recommend dining there.

The name says it all for the dining experience here. The room is well spaced out, warmly decorated and allow decent conversation with your meal parties. The food is really good if not outstanding. Ingredients are fresh and served in generous portions. I?mglad i didnt order any appetiser otherwise I wont be able to have room for more sinful dessert. Beet of my heart, I kid you notthats the cocktail I ordered. And you guessed it right it has beet in it. Its a concoction of burned beet syrup with bourbon.The drink sounded weirdly phony but its actually quite well mixed and tasted refreshing. Highly recommended

Quiet, but probably because we were at lunch first. good food, more pleasant space. a white table cloth restaurant without table cloth.
