   I was greeted quickly upon arrival and had attentive service throughout, all from Thomas. He was cheerful and friendly, checking to see if we had everything we needed and if the food was okay. Portions were big for the omelets but not overly so. The blueberry pancakes for one of our party was very large and a takeout container was provided. We have been to this restaurant many times before and appreciate that we are able to linger and visit and not made to feel we need to leave when finished eating.

   Restaurant was permanently CLOSED! We arrived to a bar on the door because the landlord had locked Symposoum out. Had to scramble to find an alternate place to eat.

   I had 3 pancakes with bacon and they were the best pancakes I've ever had.

   One of the worst food I have had in a while. Grilled salmon, dry rub chicken, fish tacos were all competing to be the worst dish on our table.

   I had a dress rehearsal for The Messiah and needed a nearby place to have dinner. The symposium was a great choice. Great food and attentive service.

   Busy restaurant for a Sunday brunch. Service was slow but good - not fault of the server but understaffed like most restaurants these days. Food came out hot. All was good but the peameal in the egg benny was like shoe leather.

   went for a lunch with sisters, brothers, in-laws. Service was great.. food choices were good, some of our party had breakfast, others had lunch. Fish and Chips were popular - 2 of them ordered it. I loved the Zucchini noodles special on Monday's vegetarian menu. Would definitely return. As a matter of fact, my husband is going on Aug 9th with friends of his.

    The staff did a fantastic job with the service and they asked us if our food was good. It was a beautiful day so we ate outside on the patio. I love the selection of food choices as well as their desserts!
