    We had a lovely Father’s Day Brunch here. There is outdoor construction but still outdoor seating. We are inside anyway, and we enjoyed checking out the carryout market, which looks amazing. Daughter had crepes with chicken asparagus in cream sauce, and that was amazing. My husband enjoyed scrambled eggs and other standards, and I had a mushroom spinach and sausage omelette. It was good and cooked perfectly, but some fresh herbs would have made it a bit more flavorful. For dessert, we had a cherry tart that was phenomenal. Very nice, quiet brunch, which was just what we wanted. Prices were reasonable, and we will be back soon.

    Food was fine. Ordered a tuna salad sandwich . It was good, but the chips were very stale. I should have sent back, but I don’t like doing that. So I just left them on my plate. My guest had the trio and said it was very good.

    Hello, we would have been HAPPY to replace your chips. Sorry they may have been stale. The humidity can be difficult these days and we must have let that slip by. Please try us again. Thanks so much for the feedback.

    I thought it was a great lunch. We felt bad about all of the construction. But we were happy that the restaurant seemed to have lots of people having lunch.

    Convito is a lovely place for lunch or dinner. I was there for dinner with a friend! I love the homemade cookies for dessert and their deli section where you can buy prepared items. They have nice wines, too!

    The restaurant completely failed to meet my expectations. It did not inform me about the ongoing construction in the vicinity and the lack of outdoor seating. Additionally, the quality of the food and drinks was subpar.
    Convito Cafe and MarketResponded 7 days ago
    Hello, we wish you had let us know about any food issues, and we would be happy to rectify! We are a longtime family business for 45 years and hope to always provide great food and service. Construction has been up and down and we do not own the plaza. The patio is open now. Thanks!
