Symposium Cafe Restaurant Cobourg

Good vegetarian options and my server (Jay) was great! I'll be back

Great location, great customer service. I went twice in one day for the wings special. It also has a patio with very comfortable seating. I would definitely go back.

One of the worst places to eat there food was terrible steak was like sawdust with absolutely no taste fish was burnt on the outside batter was still raw inside i would definitely steer clear of this place. Our server was great though, you were warned.

I would give zero if I could, this was one of the worst dining experiences my mother and I have had. I have a very severe gluten allergy and this place was a recommendation on my GF app. What a mistake when we walked in the waiter and manager had a language barrier and we could not really understand them. The male waiter didn’t even greet us, he walked over and asked what do you want to drink. After we waited for a bit I informed him of my allergy, he checked with the kitchen multiple times and they said I could order the bbq chicken salad- tbh I’m not even sure they know what
gluten is. They were both clearly not trained on menu ingredients or allergies. I was served a bowl of lettuce with maybe 1-2 cherry tomatoes, a little bit of cucumber and maybe 3 oz of plain chicken. There was no bbq sauce, no boiled egg, no cheese and no pea sprouts, the waiter also never quality checked so I had to flag him down to ask where the rest of my salad was. He was confused and said the pea sprouts and egg had gluten in them? Well maybe you should inform a guest before that half the meal the ordered would be missing. 23$ plus tax for a bowl of lettuce and over cooked chicken. No thanks, the “manager” was also not helpful and came over and asked why I didn’t like my salad, I told her the same thing half of it was missing. Obviously I didnt pay for my meal, but they still charged for my coffee that was never refilled and my moms pop that was never refilled. My mother’s meal was also pretty bad, the burger was over cooked and soggy from so much sauce. Also they never cleared our plates and we had to ask for the bill. Safe to say I’ll never go to any other symposium cafe. There also seems to be prefer essential treatment to guests who are south Asian- same as the workers. We noticed they got faster quicker service and were able to seat themselves. What a shame the owners should be shaking their heads- all guests should be treated the same.

Excellent customer service and delicious food!

Party of 5 .. every order was wrong.
We ordered appetizers, they never came.
The food (when we actually got it) was so terrible.
We should have left when we saw how
dirty the place is.
Do not waste your money here.

This was fantastic for breakfast, better than expected and lots of food for a great price. Service and food quality were great!!

Mansi waitress was very nice. I have celiac, and they made me a gluten free French toast with bananas and a fruit cup. Wife had early bird special. Food was good and reasonably priced. We are visiting Coburg , and this is the second time here for breakfast.

This morning my family was at your restaurant for a birthday breakfast.
The service was terrible, took for ever to get a coffee when we got there. One persons coffee cup had dirty lipstick on it… gross!!! Meal was brought and we had to ASK for silverware.
3 waitresses and only ONE doing anything.
Eggs Benedict was horrible. Supposed to be soft eggs NOT hard!! Some meals were cold.
The waitress brought the bills at the end of the meal and took her forever to come back, yet the other 2 waitresses stood at the bar and yapped the whole time.
All and all a terrible meal and service and I’ve been there several times for meal which were quite good.
I truly appreciate your restaurant being open today but will think twice about returning.
Very disappointing service and meal. 😡
