Really enjoyed this place! We went at a very good time -around 4:30- which is the time they had 33% off appetizers (until 6). They also have different deals each day and they're all really good ones. The place was not overcrowded and was a nice atmosphere. Decor was beautiful. I got the Atlantic salmon with pesto cream sauce and rice and veggies which was very delicious. They have an amazing dessert selection as well. We got the fudge brownie cheesecake which was definitely worth the calories ;)

Been here several times. Food is a hit or miss but appetizers are generally good. Place is roomy, service was always good. Love to come here to enjoy the drinks. They have different promos daily so check it out. Conveniently located and easy to find. A good 'catching up' spot with friends for me.

Symposium this Cafe leans more to the restaurant side. The interior is fun and the style is different... It's like the Italians trying their hand at a westernized version of dessert and coffee shops... and you know what... I welcome this. It's nice to have a change. The service was friendly and helpful. Came in here for brunch. The selection was quite standard on the menu waffles, omelets, and the the regular staple items. Our server refilled our coffee cup three times we never had to ask. He was on point. However this brings us to the first real negative point. The coffee tasted burnt... The coffee sucks. I could make better coffee from my $20 Walmart coffee maker.... But the service was good. And you know what I bet you those cakes are super good did looks so decadent I would come back for dessert.

The food at symposium is not bad. We came here for the early bird dinner. We felt it was similar to home made food than professionally cooked food. Their service is good, though. Loved their apple cobbler dessert

Had the vanilla steamer with cinnamon french toast for breakfast. The meal was supposed to include a fruit cup but the forgot it and didn't even realize, oh well. The French toast was also kind of brunt... The food overall was alright, would recommend only if you like a classy atmosphere that tries so hard to be fancy but can't always meet up to the expectation. Service was pretty decent. I would go back to try a different dish, their selection looked tasty.
