Absolutely exceptional and one of the best restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Service perfect. Seating perfect. Food perfect. Decor was tasteful but not overdone. An absolute highlight of an experience that makes other good restaurants look bad by comparison — and our server Blake gets high marks too. We were seated away from people with a reasonably sized party and had plenty of attention without feeling burdened by it. Everything from the menu to the flatware felt fun and creative and “on brand” with a cohesive “conversation” theme that takes after the restaurant’s namesake. It’s not cheap, all things considered; you’ll pay 100 a person if you consider tip and 3 courses, as may be suggested by the menu itself - but you could walk in and out for 60-100 if you really played it close to the vest and 2 people got simple entrees, and a few additions. Creative, comfortable, quality, would go back in a heartbeat! 10/10

When we walked in, we were met with the most lovely scent! We did late night happy hour and it was a fantastic deal. We had mussels and clams, served with cheese toast and it was perfect. We had a negroni and a martini that were done well. The ambiance was fantastic and the people that work here are lovely! Highly recommend!

Hotel restaurants can so often be an underwhelming experience, but happily Conversation is excellent. The food is delicious with inspired ingredients, the cocktails are great and innovative, and the service very attentive. But beyond that, I must say that the atmosphere at Conversation is special. I don't honestly know what it is, but coming for dinner in the evening, it just feels so relaxing and intimate. The gentle lighting, the bronze silverware, the glow from the windows, maybe it's all these things and more, there's just an attention to detail that makes itself known subliminally that just makes dinner here wonderful. They also do breakfast which didn't leave the same impression on me. I'd much more recommend dinner.

I’m currently dining here on 11/7/24 at 8 pm. I missed my server and hostess’ name, but they are incredible. Both so professional and communicative even during an incredibly busy dinner service where they appear to be alone on the floor. Wow! Food is great but even with the two of them alone, service is even better. Keep these gems!

Had such a good dinner here trying their new menu! Everything was great but loved the roasted oysters, chile butter shrimp, and the eggplant lasagna especially. Also thought the potato cakes were excellent (ate them too fast so forgot to photograph!) Can’t wait to come back and try more

We rent here with friends with brunch end of November and I highly recommend it. The Salmon Benedict was really really good and our server, T(h)omas, made our visit delightful

Food so good the conversation is going to be silent! The smash burger was divine and was prepared extremely well. Full of flavour and incredibly filling. Upbeat restaurant with a nice bar. Definitely a local hangout. Service was good and the waiter was always checking up on me. I enjoyed the location and is insulated from the street which is great. Recommend visiting.
