Conversate Steak and Seafood

I have been to Conversate twice and the first time I have to say was phenomenal, the steaks were cooked perfectly, drinks were amazing and our server was fantastic. The most recent time I went wasn’t as memorable, we ordered the beef wellington and the bread was doughy and not crispy. The oysters I ordered were not shucked well, and were extremely small for the price. You could tell it wasn’t shucked well because the shell that had my horseradish had leftover bits of oyster on it. They were stuck to the shell and they definitely wasted some of the oyster. Our mains took a very long time to get to us, it took over an hour for our mains to get to our table. We got to the restaurant at 6:30pm and left at 10:00pm! My friend ordered the bone marrow with steak tartare which was extremely overdone. He sent it back and when they brought him back the new plate, they took the steak tartare with it and did not replace it. There was no compensation for any of this. I enjoyed the restaurant but for the price, it’s not as good as it should be. I do have to say that, my lamb rack was cooked perfectly although I wasn’t a big fan of the seasoning, it took away from the flavour of the lamb itself. It was also quite fatty. The sweet potatoes were way too sweet, needed a kick like spice or pepper. The baked potato was not cooked well and was a bit hard inside other than the top. I do enjoy the drinks, and they accommodated gluten free which was really nice. Super tasty butter before the appetizers. I’m unsure I’d give it another shot, I just wish the service and food reflected with the prices on the menu.

Spectacular food and service. Gluten free items marked very clearly and staff were very knowledgeable. We were a party of 8 and every person loved their meal. This rivalled many Vegas steak experiences. Well done!
