Very long wait for food and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. When served, 2 entrees were cold and dried out. Server forgot to enter one meal into computer, a simple burger with swiss cheese, so it wasn't prepared with the others. This may have been a good thing since the bacon cheeseburger (with cheddar) that they actually served was at least fresh. Clearly they gave me someone else's order. Other entrees were adequate. Nothing to write home about, but not disasters either. Dessert cakes were pretty good. With all the other options for fresh food in Guelph, why go to a place that clearly serves institutional frozen food that has simply been reheated?

Picture two thick long brown breaded rolls. Pour over them onions and green peppers stewed in an indifferent tomato sauce. That's Symposium's Tuscan Chicken. Visually it's very unappealing. And void of any flavor. Really. 100% tasteless. I don't normally add salt but even that didn't help. It was cold night . Inside the cloth seats were cold. We ordered the Broccoli and Cheddar soup to warm up. The portion is enormous, and the china oversized. Too much for a starter. Soup was luke-warm. It was so thick the bottom of the bowl remained visible after you'd drawn the spoon through it. The soup is served with a pkg of saltines and toasted wedges of tasty baguette. The entree arrived before we were half way through the soup. Given the size of the serving dishes and the narrowness of the table there wasn't room for starter and main dish. We relinquished the soup. My friend had the pork and rosemary dish. Other than the occasional strong rosemary taste it too was devoid of any taste. I have not given the food at Symposium a good review but ... this place has potential. As someone else said it's new and there are some kinks to work out. The decor is truly lovely. The dining area by the windows is open and airy. For those preferring a more private dining experience it looks like the more enclosed area away from the windows will offer that. There's an outdoor patio which will be very nice once the warmer weather arrives. The service was very attentive. Upon mentioning that we were ordering soup to warm ourselves up the waiter offered to turn the heat up which was very nice. Our meals arrived promptly. The desserts look amazing. Every night they have a different theme (Sunday is dessert and coffee night) and of course you can always order off the main menu. With respect to the menu options I have to agree with another reviewer - same old, same old. Still there's nothing wrong with the standards - if they are well prepared. I'll give them a try again. Might have been an off-night? AND they serve all day breakfast!

This was my first experience at Symposium. I must say that overall, my husband and I were quite impressed. Our server was very attentive, and even wowed us by bringing us fresh cutlery after our salads!!! Hard to find that kind of wow service in this city. Our meals were fantastic! Good portions, and wonderful prices!!! Either the server, or the kitchen switched our sides, but we figured it out. No harm done. As far as atmosphere goes, although my husband liked it, I found it a bit open, as I prefer a little more privacy when i'm eating out. My only other issue would be wait times for food. Given it was a Friday night, 35-40 minute chit times is not acceptable. But i will not hold it against them at all, as they are a new place, and it takes a while to get into the swing of things. Kudos Symposium!!! Keep striving for the best!!!

Cruel Management

Our student server was great. Coffee was perfect. Breakfast best in the south end. My concern was the manager insulted the staff and used their power to publically embarass the workers. His barks were so loud we left our meal early. His rude behaviour made me sick to my stomach. I will never return as long as he works there.
