I am divided as to how many stars. 3 for part of our experience and 5 for other parts.
The 3*s - Charging extra for a few pieces of bread is simply a cash grab. We weren’t drinking the overpriced alcohol and I feel this resulted in a slower service. We were more like an afterthought. The food should be served in smaller plates to give the impression that the expensive portions are larger but my stomach does not lie - after the meal I was still hungry. We were seated in the enclosed patio area beside an unused stove with a narrow passageway. The servers did not bother taking the longer route

The service here was great. I ordered the calamari. The breading was totally tasteless and soft probably because it was undercooked, but the dip was good. The Spaghetti Bolognese was OK , but I had to send my shrimp and scallop dish back as the fish was undercooked and barely warm. (And I never send food back). They returned it and now it was at least hot, but still tasted underdone to me. I decided to take it home and cook it there. Overall I was quite disappointed with the food.

This was the perfect dinning experience for our Anniversary. They treated us so well from start to finish. The seafood was so fresh and cooked perfectly, the filet mignon was decadent and also cooked to perfection. The wine was great and the desert was lovely to finish off the meal(which they gave us for free). Great friendly service from the owner and the waitress and a very beautiful romantic atmosphere. We would go back for sure. Thank you for make our night special.

An unexpected fabulous dinner out at Convivia which allowed our pet to be with us, even without reservations. Our waiter Jamie was excellent with his non intrusive service and courteous approach to our questions and his recommendations. We had a refreshing Sangria along with sharing a fresh Capri (caprese) salad. My wife's Steak Frite was grilled perfectly and I really enjoyed their Cassoulet..the first time for me. It was delicious. Home made sausage in the unique dish. Compliments to the chef..and many thanks to Jamie for his service. Will return when in Osoyoos again. A must visit. Reservations

Went here for dinner with friends. We each had a different meal and each of us were really pleased with our meal. Staff were friendly. Food came quickly. The wine list was affordable. We had Creme Brûlée for desert, that was fantastic. We were really pleased when we received our bill feeling like we had a great meal at a very reasonable price. Will definitely return and recommend

Love this restaurant! The staff is so friendly, accommodating & professional. The patio and decor are fabulous! The management goes above & beyond. We missed our cab, so the lovely manager gave us a ride back to our resort. Amazing!! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a great dining experience.

We had dinner here just before lockdown, and so happy we got that chance. It was great! The staff are super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was electric, dinner was superb (French Onion soup is great) and dessert (Creme Broulee), just get it. Trust me. I can’t wait until the next time I get to dine here! I highly recommend anyone visiting Osoyoos to check this place out.

Amazing time! We had the french onion soup, seafood salad, cassoulet and filet mignon-- everything was great, very flavourful, cooked well and good size portions. We went on a Friday night on a long weekend and made a reservation a week before. The service was great and all staff were helpful and friendly! Best restaurant in Osoyoos for sure.

This place is COVID safe - but the food are not outstanding. I don't recommend the pizza. Better take pasta. If you are looking after an experience, it's not the place but it's simple and basics are good. Good wine list also and excellent service.
It's not a big town Osoyoos, this place is a the 2nd good option. The space is cozy and calm.

Went here while on a little vacation from kelowna, Absolutely fabulous time. Desmond our waiter was very attentive, polite and courteous when answering our questions and giving us the best service in osoyoos.The food was on par with the great service, escargot was amazing!the Osso bucco cut like butter and the lamb was so succulent. While there is a pandemic going on, if you want a "safe" place to eat (pun intended) I highly suggest Conviva restaurant and make it a point to ask for Desmond!
Thanks again !
Thanks again !

Hubby and I had a special meal tonight at convivia.
The resto was packed at 8 pm on a Sunday, and staff were busy.
Regardless, we had a lovely meal. I had the cod with risotto ( which is presented as a crispy hockey puck shape and is to die for).
Portions were good,not too much, and not overly heavy on the sauces. Healthy and tasty.
Dessert was called Coffee Mozart- a delicious mix of chocolate and expresso custard with whipped cream.
Thanks for the great evening!

Clean, nice, contemporary, great food, vegetarian options and few vegan . Read the menu online before coming so you don't get disappointed if you don't find many vegan options. Pizza was great, we had the vegetables salad which is made of polenta crostini with grilled eggplants and zucchini.
The pasta with shrimps and crabmeat. Overall it was good. Service was great, a bit of wait but we didn't mind since we were celebrating Father's Day and beside if you are in vacation you enjoy the ambiance.

No masks !
None of the staff in the restaurant were wearing masks! It is surprising to us ! I would probably not dine there if I knew that was the case.
The food was wonderful and the waitress was nice though.
I really think the restaurant needs to rethink its policies regarding masks for the staff!

This has been my favorite restaurant in Osoyoos and we always look forward to a good meal and nice evening at Convivia.
Our last experience was very disappointing. We sat on the terrace. It was enclosed because it was a windy day and the temperatures were below seasonal. After we were seated it took such a long time for our server to come to the table that we thought we'd been forgotten. The service only got worse from this point. We ordered bocconcini with tomato to share as an appetizer. Nice warm slices of baguette were brought to the table. Our appetizer was good. We ordered a

We were very excited to try this restaurant. We read great reviews. Unfortunately, after a long wait we ordered our food. Sadly the food arrived cold, my partner and I ate our meals separately. It was not the romantic dinner we hoped for. Our server was friendly but the restaurant refused compensation for the half decent dinner. Later, my girlfriend and I became quite sick. We believe this was the food. Restaurant had potential. Cannot recommend after our experience.

The seating process was extremely disappointing and frustrating. Thankfully, the kitchen staff was entertaining to watch and friendly with us.
FOH staff seemed incredibly unorganized (I understand this can happen as I've worked in the industry) but no acknowledgement or apology was made to us at any point. Walk-ins (NOT reservations) of the same size were seated ahead of us and when we politely spoke up about having been there before them, staff acknowledged we were right but didn't do anything to correct it or even apologize.
We ended up waiting over an hour for a table to be set

We enjoyed our experience.
Pro's:
- friendly greeting by owner who seated us and thanked us at the end
- attentive hostess, friendly french server
- i liked the small bread basket with garlic butter...perfect portion
- the portofino seafood salad was delicious and fulfilling...i had the plate size
- i also ordered the veggie cannelloni as a side plate and it was the perfect portion. The are small tablespoon-size dollops of rissoto on top while stuffed with a flavourful eggplant and topped with melted mozzarella and a sweet balsamic glaze drizzle.

We came here for dinner as it was one of the higher rated spots online in Osoyoos and came as a recommendation from our host at a winery that we stopped at on the way in.
As a note to anyone that decides to come, the front door is to your very left. We mistakenly came through a large red door that ended up being an emergency exit. A bit of an awkward entrance but the staff were kind enough to seat us quickly anyhow.

Before writing this article, I spent ten minutes attempting to unearth what "convivia" means. Google had no idea; it and other sites kept trying to autocorrect it to "convivial", which would make sense given that means variations of "pleasant". One page, an obscure one, finally came back with "banquet."
Well...that makes more sense--you'd think that would've been easier. From our perspective, Convivia had the perfect location, walking distance to motel. Being on the "wrong side" of the water has generated some criticism I've

Fantastic food, nice ambience, superb service and what a wine!!
Great place to check out when in Osoyoos! We just walked around and found this place and loved the outdoor seating. We bumped in other tourists and had a great chat. Our server (forgot her name :( ) was very nice and made good recommendations. The food is always pricey in Canada, but that's how it is. Overall very happy and will go back here when back in Osoyoos!
Oh and met the chef (French/Italian) and he was a very nice person too! Loved talking with him too.
