Symposium Cafe Restaurant Oakville

Did not like the food

Had brunch at Symposium today. The food was excellent. Had the Belgian waffles and they were prepared beautifully. Celebrated my daughter’s 16th birthday and the service was friendly and efficient. Shailyn provided exceptional customer service and always great to see the Manager Lori there.

Joanna was great! She was super friendly to my girlfriend and I. Even let us know all the daily specials during the week. It was our first time going and we will definitely be coming back soon.

Patio was open but not ready. Tables not power cleaned. Service was very slow and not because there were too many patrons. Three tables on the patio only and inside was maybe at half capacity. Food was excellent once it arrived. This was not typical of our previous experiences at this location!

Had fish and chips with an extra mixed salad. The coldslaw was off and and advised the waitress and manager. Not sure how many other people complained. All in all it was a nice night

Went on a Friday night when we expected the fish special as advertised on the website. However it was Good Friday and they did not offer the special even though the offer card was still on the table!

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.

Excellent service by Jorie.

Did takeout for work and the food was amazing! Everyone enjoyed it and it was still hot by the time we ate it. I got the lunch special fish and chips (highly recommend, so good I would add the 2nd piece of fish). Service was awesome, they helped bring the food to the car and the order process was painless. I didn't sit inside but it looked clean and nicely decorated. Highly recommend.

One of the best locations I’ve been too! The new chicken parm sandwich is so so good! I was also eyeing the Philly cheese steak one as it sounded delicious! The service here is amazing & the staff always treat customers like family. Management- specifically Laurie is always around making sure things are good with the customers & always friendly with a smile! 😊
Thanks for the great experience!
