    Food and service was great - highly recommend the prime rib special (Sundays), deviled eggs, Caesar salad, and catch of the day (Snapper). Super tasty food and attentive service. We sat at the communal table at the bar since we had a dog with us and it was too cold to sit outside.

    We dined at Matties last nite for their "Feast of the Seven Fishes". EXCELLENT! The chef delivers each course, talks with you, and is very interested your comments. The waiter was great, very friendly, and attentive. It was a wonderful holiday evening. We suggest you try it! And its very well-priced!

    It was my second time dining at Convivo . We sat outside on the patio, which I highly recommend. You can see the ocean across the street with the Christmas lights it was very festive It was a continuous celebration for our anniversary. Our waiter was fabulous. He was extremely attentive and very friendly and professional. The food was absolutely delicious. I had their flatbread pizza which was super yummy and my husband had the steak which was delicious.  I will say that the inside of the restaurant has a little bit to be desired in atmosphere, but if you’re looking for extremely good food and wonderful service, we had that !!!! Sit on the patio ;-)
