Amply proportioned stemware allows full opening of the wine. Looking around on both occasions, we saw a full dance card of energized fellow diners. Everybody clearly has a good time at Convivio, whether watching lots of skilled young chefs dancing around the exhibition stoves or nuzzling romantically over a glass of something by Storrs at the sleek wine bar. The decor feels avant garde, yet not pretentious. Industrial materials mix cleverly with Old World textiles.
Tile floors encourage maximum buzz.
Such a confident kitchen. Nothing tasted overwrought, and each dish exceeded expectations. It could not have been creamier had it been produced at home. And while the spun sugar decorations are visually interesting, they're really unnecessary. Convivio lives up to its advance reputation.
