convivial chat
Went to Le Cabri for the first time since it re-opened with new owners. We were made very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our Steaks, cooked to perfection, served by a lovely young lady who spoke excellent English. I had cheese to follow and whilst the selection was not huge, what I had was very good. We rounded off the evening with a convivial chat with the new managers and are really looking forward to our next visit and trying some of the other items on their menu

: You like it, but it's over-translation and not everyone who chats in a restaurant is intellectually stimulating, believe me...

stimulating discourse
I think that something along the lines of discourse/ debate/ discussion would fit well into this context.
Discussion

Thanks for confirming your grasp of English prose.
Just click on 'dashboard' under the asker's name, and filter them.
2) Eight other professionals thought that soirées was perfect for the context.
