I had a really great meal! The pasta was super creamy and tasty, and the bread was a nice touch. The waffles with ice cream and fresh fruit were the perfect way to finish. Everything was delicious, and I’ll definitely be back. Thanks for the great food!

Symposium Cafe offers a wonderful dining experience with a cozy atmosphere and an extensive menu. I enjoyed the chicken wings and a sandwich, which was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The service was attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. Don't miss the dessert selection; the east/west waffle is a must-try! Overall, a great spot for any occasion!

Went here a couple months ago with my wife.. came back tonight and regretted it the second my plate was placed on the table.
I was in the mood to try something new - the beef short rib dish. But it was 90% fat.. 4 little bites of the beef were tolerable, the veg & potatoes were okay , but could tell they were from frozen.
My wife's fettuccini alfredo was edible but bland and flavorless.
I got a beer.. my wife got a coke.
The dessert was good but you cant really mess up desert
For $99 dollars with tip, it was not worth it. Server was friendly and nice but not very attentive & we were one of 3 tables in there.
Needless to say- won't be returning, at least this location.

We have visited this location twice now as it’s the half way meeting point for us to meet family for a meal. The woman who was our server was so kind and great with us. My daughter who is a toddler was having a bit of a meltdown and she came over and brought her slices of strawberries as a distraction and to eat. She offered a couple different things and was so understanding. As a Mom I appreciate her support as kids don’t always cooperate when you’re out for dinner and I also don’t want to interrupt others meals. Thank you for being compassionate and caring it was much appreciate by this Mom. Always have great service here and the food is good and fresh!

Thank you!!

Prices high and food was just ok...I had the shrimp Pad Thai-- few mildly seasoned shrimp and too big on the noodles. My companion enjoyed her burger and fries which are always good here but commented that the "gourmet coffee" tasted like stale coffee to her at almost $5 a cup. Service was good -- but then it was not busy. We were the only people there most of the time. All in all, for a late lunch, at least, I won't be back.
