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.

One of the best brunchs I have ever had in Canada ! Special thanks to Shirin who served us today. Very clean and cozy environment, friendly staff and the most importantly delicious meals. We ordered Eggs Benedict and Pancakes, with a slice of chocolate cake. All was really good. The only problem we had was with the orange juice. I asked the waitress whether they have natural freshly squeezed orange juice, and she firmly confirmed it is natural and freshly squeezed. However, the juice was regular commercial with artificial color could be found in Walmart. Two ladies in this branch who prepared the food are so friendly, they reached out to us and asked for our opinion about the food. When I told her this is not freshly sqeezed juice, she said she does not know and "this is what she is told" ! We will definitely come back to this place, but my advice to management is never make your employees falsify/lie about the menu items, you could honestly announce that this is not natural fresh juice and we would order something else :)

I’ve been eating at different Symposiums for almost 10 years. Always made a point to know my local Symposium for breakfast. Sad to say this is the Symposium I will never return to. I’m a breakfast person and tried many restaurants in my days. But over $50 for breakfast, and $7 of that was for 2 regular coffees? You can put gourmet in front of anything. But that doesn’t change the below average coffee being served. Not to mention the service was comparable to McD. The server was new and clearly couldn’t care less. She put down coffee and turned away without taking our order. Kept making me repeat everything I asked. And after I asked for the bill, she just stood by the cash register and chatted with another server for 10mins. I had to wave her again for the bill. BTW there were only 2 tables including us. Well… here’s the picture of the receipt. I’m giving it 2 stars all for the food. To be fair, it’s good breakfast. But not $50 good.

I came with a group of friends to celebrate my friend getting engaged. We ordered drinks that took forever to come, personally the burger that I ordered was dry but that was the least of the experience. After waiting for about an hour for someone to come to get our Desert order my friend decided to go up to the cake display and order one herself.

After doing so the manager brought our bills I thought it was a miscommunication and said no we didn't ask for the bill we were waiting for desert. Then he proceeded to say we are refusing you service and for the life of me I couldn't understand why.

I walked up to the manager by the name of Denis who was the rudest and had the worst customer service I have ever recieved by a manager in my 10 years in the industry.

He proceeded to curse at me infront of other people in the restaurant and started to count down the seconds we had left to leave.

By this time we have not yet paid I asked for the bill and I was refused Denis told me to just get out and leave he doesn't want my money and that the cops were called. We all left to sit in the car waiting for the police to arrive we didn't want to leave because we did not pay.

After waiting for quite some time we decided to follow up on the call. The police advised that the call was dismissed but feeling shocked, verbally abused and disappointed by how the night ended up I requested them to show up to resolve the matter

Long story short this was THE ABSOLUT worst experience I have ever had in any restaurant and would not recommend anyone to go there for their special occasion as I know mine was absolutely ruined

Also strong recommendation for the owners to fire Denis and find a more adequate personal to handle customer services and satisfaction.

Update* was contacted by head office who refused to take any responsibility or actions and barely apologized. honestly this is the worst customer service and the worst treatment I have ever recieved by any business. Please avoid...

The food,service and pricing was very good to excellent. Our problem was unexpected, nauseating and humiliating . The waiter, in an unsolicited manner, brought up a discussion on politics. First he stated his dislikes re: our current Federal government policies. I was thinking....'please stop there'. He decided to talk about Mr. Trump. Now, we as a group, have nothing against a person's beliefs ( within reason). That said, he went on and on about Mr. T's incredible achievements and honesty. We were absolutely dumbfounded that he continued even after he noticed our disgust. Let me digress: Instead of getting up and leaving, we stayed and attempted to involve ourselves in this debate. I personally am embarrassed that I was arguing with an individual who's knowledge of politics, was almost non-existent. Having said all of this, we were aghast that an individual who was on the clock, would continue to spew his infantile politics. Clearly he doesn’t care about his job. At one point and I quote ,he said " Let me educate you"...I have heard some condescending remarks in my time, but this one is at the top. I needed to get this off my chest ( as my wife and I are now at home suffering from severe indigestion. ) I feel sorry and embarrassed for F----l. If he is angry about an attack on his country, (initiated under a former Democratic presidency) then perhaps he should reconsider ( among many things) returning home and making an effort to fix things. DISRESPECT, DISRESPECT, DISRESPECT...

Hopefully, management will discuss what this individual' s job description,...

Absolutely horrific service! Three of us had dinner. It took twenty minutes for a waiter to arrive to take our order for drinks. ( The place was not busy) Two drinks arrived, the third arrived 20 minutes later. Food arrived lukewarm, souvlaki was very rubbery, likely microwaved. There was a huge long hair in my friends coffee, which she took over to the manager. He was clearly annoyed by this and said; No one is perfect it happens! Who in their right mind would say this to a paying customer? We were all mortified. We will not be back and neither will anyone from our company. One of the waiters quietly whispered; I'm sorry, as we were leaving. He clearly was embarrassed by his manager and the red head ( dishwasher or buss person) who stood there smiling and laughing. Not sure what the fellows name was who claimed to be the manager, but he needs some serious training or to find a different job. I don't expect this place will survive much longer given their attitude, poor service, and a Manager/team leader who clearly has little experience at running a restaurant and zero customer skills. Not worthy of one star. Unfortunately, we did not take the time to read the absolutely, terrible reviews this place has on Yelp, Travel, Google and basically across...
