It was fine. The food was decent, but it doesn't feel distinct enough to justify the price. Happy hour seems like a good deal, so maybe that would be a better time to stop by.

Service was excellent. Food was very good. Prices were reasonable and diversity of the menu was good. The Greek white wine I had was excellent. The meatballs were excellent also. The gyro meat was very good. However they hosted a very large group of people smack in the middle of the room taking up most of the smallish space, maybe 40 people in one long table. It changed the environment completely and not to mention the noise of the professors of their students were making. If that is common I won't go back.

The food was not tasty, the waitress was pushy and told us that we had to pay all together as a group and couldn't pay separately. My moussaka was frozen and absolutely tasteless. In the end, I said it was inedible. The waitress automatically included the tip in the bill, which surprised me a lot, as I wouldn't have left her a cent. I do not recommend this establishment. Unpleasant, unattractive, and with poor service.

Finally, it is a restaurant that I would recommend to people who will visit New York! It's a very sweet place with a very nice atmosphere! The employees were very polite and the service was very nice. So is the food! Appetizers and galaktoboureko are definitely a must try! I hope I will go again!

Recently, my wife and I discovered Symposium, a hidden gem in North Manhattan, while driving home. Its Greek sign beckoned us into an experience reminiscent of the cozy taverns in Athens, where entering feels like stepping into a secret cave or basement. Celebrating Greece’s Independence Day and the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25th, we were delighted by the traditional dishes that paid homage to these significant events, much like the celebrations back home in Greece.The highlight of our meal was the cod with garlic spread (μπακαλιάρο σκορδαλιά), a signature dish for the day, embodying the essence of Greek tradition. Our feast also included crispy octopus, kalamarakia, French fries sprinkled with feta, shrimp saganaki, a refreshing Greek salad, authentic Greek coffee, portokalopita, and the sublime galaktoboureko. Each dish transported us to Greece with its authentic flavors, as if homemade.Accompanied by a “Savvatiano” crisp, cold white Greek wine, served in an ice bucket to maintain its chill, the dining experience was elevated. The staff’s politeness and hospitality added to the warmth of the evening, and the generous aperitif of Samos wine from the manager before our departure was a gracious touch.Symposium stands out not just for its genuine Greek cuisine but also for being the sole authentic Greek restaurant above 110th Street in North Manhattan, making it a perfect choice for our family. We are grateful for the memorable evening and look forward to returning. Thank you, Symposium, for a wonderful dining experience. Until next time.

After we seated down, make us wait for over 20 minutes without serving any water or hand the menu to us. We tried to ask the waitress at the front for the water and menu, she just ignored our and keep played her phone. We ended up go out the restaurant by sitting in the restaurant for almost half hour without anything.
Food was very fresh and delicious! Service was top-notch!

Delicious and fresh! Easy ordering on online and delivery was fantastic. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu. Gluten free options were perfect!Dietary restrictions: Loved the gluten free options. Maybe try to offer a gf pita option would be my only suggestion. But their non gf pitas were the best we have ever had.

Food was fantastic- my daughter made a reservation for 10 people and our food was outstanding. One special mention is the fact that at the time we got our bill, I had added 18% without even noticing that the gratuity was already added to the overall bill. The hostess call to tell me that my additional tip was not necessary and reversed it. Kudos not only for a great restaurant, but also a great service and honest and respectful staff.
