still and all
But despite that
Still and all is informal for nevertheless or even so, acknowledging what's been said while pivoting to a contrasting point: The movie had problems, still and all, I enjoyed it.
It's a conversational softener, less blunt than "but" or "however." Some speakers use the variant still in all.
