Reviews for Symposium Cafe Restaurant Brantford in Brantford, ON

Where to start. Hadn't been here before and it had been a while since me and the girlfriend had gone out for dinner. Bad choice.... Server was nice and accommodating. The menu is enormous both physical and actual which should have been the first warning. Foodwas flavourless and obviously frozen. Only saving grace was the desert which was good. Bathrooms are "under renovation" sothere's one toilet for the whole restaurant. I went to use it once and someone was cleaning it, kicked me out and locked thedoor on me. Owner let a visibly drunk guy in who was loud and obnoxious, forcing a man and his young daughters to leave therestaurant. During dinner rush the place was nearly empty leading me to believe the public already knows not to go here. Thisplace needs a complete overhaul. I rarely leave bad reviews but couldn't hold back on this one considering how much I spent forsuch a bad experience. Read more

Very nice experience. We went as a family of 6. Shiva was our waitress and she was very attentive, polite and patient. They have... a great selection of different foods in their menu. We all enjoyed what we eat and would recommend anyone to try out theSymposium. Kind regards Gav J Read more

I have been here a couple of times. The place is great. It has everything you need from coffee to meals, to a well stocked bar.... Our server Inder was amazing and she is very friendly. The food is great and has good flavor. A great place to catch up with afriend. Read more

The coffee is special, not regular, not tasty. The desserts are not bad, my husband liked the desserts. I didn't like it... because they looked dry and not fresh on the bar, and they tasted like yesterday. But it's clean here. Read more

Well I don't often walk out of restaurants. But ordered the Spanish dip. And well after one bite asked for the bill. It was... nasty. And that's a hard thing to mess up. I can see why this place is never busy Read more

I had lunch to go and I was impressed with there service and with the meal. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and boy oh boy it was... so delicious. It also was a large portion size for 2 meals. Well for me. I am happy I chose here to eat. Fabulous Read more

Incredible dessert waffle. Apps and drinks were good too. Proteins in both of our meals were lower quality than we would have... liked or expected but the overall meal was decent. The atmosphere was excellent and so was the service. Will definitely be backto try other items on the menu! Read more
