Food took over an hour to get, one dish was given to the wrong person at the table. Another dish was completely wrong. Staff tried to make it up to us by offering a free piece of cake and a free order of waffles. The front door has a broken handle with sharp pieces, where one person in our group cut their hand.

I went to dine in Monday night with my family for my younger brother’s birthday, having Ali serve us was truly a delight very nice service very very nice food I got the butter chicken with rice bowl my family also got the ribs, chicken souvlaki and the fish tacos among others I must admit the depictions of Ancient Greece as-well as its philosophers in their times really left me stunned. Desert was delicious as-well I definitely recommend this place when dining with family or friends. Thank you for this experience

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. The staff were attentive and made sure everything was perfect. A special thanks to Saghar for their excellent service. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great meal and a wonderful atmosphere. I'll definitely come back soon.

Well decorated cafe. We were surprised by how tender the ribs were. Wings were great too. Kids menu could be a little better. Service is good. Atomosohere is fantastic.

This is the first time I visited this restaurant. Very classy interior design . A very attractive menu with many choices . I just wanted to have a light lunch, the milkshake was very good. The soup and the mussels were good too , only they were a bit salty for me, maybe next time I have to mention less salt when I order the food.

2024 review: Still 3/5 stars. Nothing spectacular. Our server was kind and our food came out within a reasonable time, however we waited 30+ m to get the bill and had to ask for the bill. Fish tacos were impossible to eat and full of lettuce and the sweet potato fries were cold. Now that I’m thinking about it I’d probably rate this place 2 stars but I’ll leave the 3 based on location and friendliness of staff. ______________ 2022 original review: The ambiance of Symposium is great (esp the patio!), however the food is just meh. Pictured below is the Cobb salad and an omelette breakfast. The Cobb salad wasn’t even a real Cobb salad; it was just lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and one cold egg, with chicken that was saucy… very odd for a Cobb salad! Definitely wasn’t worth the $25 that’s for sure. My mum’s omelette was good, but wasn’t spectacular. The tomatoes were tasteless and the plate just looked sort of empty like it was missing something… The cappuccino was good and the desserts/cakes are good, which I’ve had before. Also the French toast is pretty bomb… Servers are kind and service is quick. No waiting around which is nice. Would definitely come back here again (as I have a few times now), however I’d just be more selective as to what I order.
