“We had the best night thanks to Elia. We were so glad we chose to dine in the bar area. Wow ! she was amazing . It was a super busy Friday night and she took on the dinner rush like a pro. Taking care of all the bar drinks with the servers and the tables in the bar section as well. We really enjoyed the food it was hot and really tasty. The level of customer service was so appreciated. Our garlic bread starter got missed and she apologized and made sure to make it right by getting it for us right away. To top it off she got our dessert covered dessert which was really unexpected. Thanks for such a great dining experience. We will be back.“

“We went to Symposium for our anniversary and what an amazing night! Our server Jaime was beyond amazing. Extremely welcoming and fantastic customer service. I recently came home from a trip in Bermuda and asked the bartender to make me a 'Bermudian Rum Swizzle' and Sawan did not disappoint! He nailed it right on the pin! The food was delicious and compliments to the chef! We also indulged in their tiramisu cake as our dessert and my goodness, the flavor! So fresh! All in all, an extremely wonderful night thanks to Jaime and Sawan!“

“Had a wonderful weekend dinner at the Swiss Chalet located at Kingston and Lawrence. Our server, Bil, truly made the experience exceptional! He was attentive, friendly, and ensured everything was perfect throughout our meal. From recommending menu options to checking in at just the right moments, Bil’s professionalism and warm demeanor stood out. The food was delicious as always, and the service made it even better. Thank you, Bil, for making our evening so enjoyable—we’ll definitely be back soon!“

“The absolute worst customer service I have EVER experienced. Inadequately trained servers, the "manager" definitely could use some serious customer service training AND training with the payment system as he struggled with processing our bill. The food was served cold. We order a Chicken BLT wrap just before our meal ended To-Go and after waiting over 50 minutes for our takeout, we were told the takeout was busy with takeout orders for customers?? excuse me?? what are we?? We had just ordered 2 bar drinks, an appetizer and 2 main entres, so I guess we are not a customer. Unbelievable!! And then the manager proceeded to be combative with us when we began to rightfully complain. No apologies, no discount, nada! No surprise this place has a low rating...THEY'VE EARNED IT! 👎“

“The Oak is a great neighborhood pub. Yesterday after work, a friend and I stopped by for lunch. Noah was our server. The professionalism from this young man was outstanding. He was completely on point, and I can't remember ever seeing someone do a better job. He represents the pub amazingly good. This type of service will keep me coming, and I'm recommending this pub 5 stars? thanks Noah!“
