We brought three grandsons here to experience the farm that grandpa grew up on. They are big city kids and thoroughly enjoyed running free over the empty cornfields and lovely walking trails. The Lavender suite itself is lovely! High-end appliances fireplace, and fire pit However we came in March and it was pretty cold. I have some mobility problems. I don't use a wheelchair, but I have to have pretty easy access to shower and such. This place was perfect. They also have some tree houses that would be fun, but that would be difficult for me and this place. There's plenty large enough to sleep five or six. The grandkids said they wanna live here. That made me very happy because I was worried that they might be bored. There are no theme parks here. they loved exploring the woods and the frozen creeks along the walking trail. The hosts could not be more perfect. We were responsive. But left us to our family time!

I ordered a cod dinner ( which comes with choice of potato and a salad) and a pizza. My husband went to pick the order up and there was no salad or potato! In his defense, he didn't know that it was included. Baked cod was hard and tasted awful. Fast forward to last night's order (same order as the previous one but I got the cod battered). I walked into the dining area to pick up since getting a bartender to acknowledge me was fruitless. I told the waitress my name after waiting nearly 10 minutes and she rudely told me to go pick it up at the bar. I told her I ordered online and already paid so she told me to hang on. Another good 5 minutes goes by and a different waitress brings me a pizza and 1 Styrofoam container. I checked it and told her it was supposed to come with a salad. She rolled her eyes and finally ended up bringing it out. Well, the battered fish was doughy so I only ate the actual fish. They have certainly lost my business. So much for trying to support local businesses.

They are located in Millwork Marketplace, a gorgeous old renovated brick building downtown. Upon arriving, we asked where were all their breads. They announced they didn't have any. The truck had not made its delivery and they had no idea why. The place seemed very poorly managed. Not to take away from the young ladies that waited on us. We sat at the bar, next to a disgruntled gentleman who asked us if we were going to have breakfast. We said yes, and he mumbled under his breath, "Poor excuse for a restaurant." We decided to brave it anyway. They offer fresh squeezed juices, which they prepare every day. We couldn't decide, so she offered to let us sample. They were refreshing. We decided to order breakfast and forgo the juice. I ordered the basic eggs, toast, hash browns and sausage. My friend ordered an omelet with a side of bacon. Her bacon was thick cut and severely over cooked. The omelet was small with not many veggies. My sausage was probably the best I have ever had. Everything else was good, except, we asked for butter and all they had was butter flavored spread. A "bread company" with no bread or real butter? Odd. I grabbed a salt shaker from the nearby table as there were none at the bar and it was stuck inside the shaker like concrete. Upon examining the rest at the other tables, I saw the waitress take them all back to be washed. The bearded cook in the back looked like he hated his life. The girls talked about how their hours had been cut. There was a coffee bar with quite possibly an employees backpack on it. Hopefully they find their stride, because it's a gorgeous building. Get some real butter in there and some actual specialty breads.

As great as this place could (if not should) be, it will never reach it's potential with the lousy customer service that we experienced. Why do I say this? Read on Yelper. We arrive for breakfast around 9:45 am on Saturday. There was a little bit of a line, which is to be expected at any well known breakfast/brunch establishment, right? The young lady working the register asked if we wanted to pick a table outside, handed us four menus and told us that someone would be out there to help us shortly. We sat at an empty, yet still dirty with plates from the last customers, table that was in the shade. Annnnnd we waited. As staff came out to attend to other customers sitting in the same patio area, the four of us sat there waiting for water, coffee, a smile... heck even an acknowledgement that we were there would have been nice. Seriously, if the Invisible Man was real and sitting at the table, he probably would have had a better chance of being noticed by the servers working that morning. We ended up busing our own table because no staff would bother to do it - I'm very serious. Nearly 20 minutes pass. As another couple comes into the patio, sits down and gets near immediate service with their drink orders, we had it! We entered the restaurant to find out what the problem is for such terrible service?!? The tall, head service member (did not catch her name) had an attitude for sure with her question "Did one of us seat you?" and we answered that "No, your host teammate told us to grab the table." She damn near rolled her eyes. Finally, lightening struck... someone showed up to give us water, wipe the table, and take our order. But don't get your hopes up that this was the end of bad service. Regrettably, it was not. We waited nearly 25 more minutes to get our order of eggs, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Tough order for a breakfast place, don'tcha think? Out comes the food... without utensils to eat with. 4 mins of watching your food get cold motivated us to good inside and get our own utensils. As we did, the head member walks out with the items. Now - let's shift to the one positive part of the experience and that of course is the food. To show you that I am a reasonable reviewer, I will tell you that the meal was very tasty, cooked to order, and satisfying (especially when you're starving!). When I said at the beginning that this place can be great, the food is the reason why. After a Friday night of fun, a place like Convivium is just what you want for a Saturday breakfast before an afternoon of NCAA College Football - you know what I mean? But until management decides to hold the staff accountable for this terrible customer service, Convivium will be closed in less than 5 years (my prediction). Read some of the other reviews... we share the same general opinion. And this is coming from someone that values restaurant concepts like this one. Get it together before its too late, Convivium.

My dad, sister, and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. My sister enjoyed her chicken pesto panini but Dad found his pulled pork to be dry and bland. I ordered broccoli cheese soup with sourdough toast. The soup was absolutely disgusting. It was so thick, overcooked, and tasted like it had been on a back burner for three days straight. Not to be gross, but it looked like congealed dog vomit. When I mentioned to our server, she was very condescending. I would like to try again and hopefully it was just a tough day.
