Restaurant was permanently CLOSED! We arrived to a bar on the door because the landlord had locked Symposoum out. Had to scramble to find an alternate place to eat.

One of the worst food I have had in a while. Grilled salmon, dry rub chicken, fish tacos were all competing to be the worst dish on our table.

I had a dress rehearsal for The Messiah and needed a nearby place to have dinner. The symposium was a great choice. Great food and attentive service.

Busy restaurant for a Sunday brunch. Service was slow but good - not fault of the server but understaffed like most restaurants these days. Food came out hot. All was good but the peameal in the egg benny was like shoe leather.

went for a lunch with sisters, brothers, in-laws. Service was great.. food choices were good, some of our party had breakfast, others had lunch. Fish and Chips were popular - 2 of them ordered it. I loved the Zucchini noodles special on Monday's vegetarian menu. Would definitely return. As a matter of fact, my husband is going on Aug 9th with friends of his.

The staff did a fantastic job with the service and they asked us if our food was good. It was a beautiful day so we ate outside on the patio. I love the selection of food choices as well as their desserts!

We ordered egg benny and fish and chips. Clam chowder soup was free on Friday. All the fish and chips and soup were extra salty.
