Extremely dissatisfied with the butter chicken dish I ordered from here over Uber eats. We ordered the butter chicken and there was hardly any chicken or any sauce. The dish was basically rice and a few small chunks of chicken and a couple tablespoons of sauce. Very very disappointed because I have ordered this dish in restaurant before and it was way better quality. Not worth any money. Extremely low quality. Will not be ordering from Symposium again.

Food was average. Waiter messed up our order...twice even though we were the only ones there (I work in the food industry so I get it sometimes things go wrong). The food on the other hand was bland. I admit I’m not the pickiest eater & will eat about anything. The rice was dry & tasted like nothing. The meat was dry on the kabob & not seasoned. The salad didn’t even have dressing on it. The bruschetta was...just awful. The pasta my friend got was decent, very oily & tasted like fat. The pineapple with rice & chicken was fantastic. The strawberry desert was suppose to be chocolate but she messed it up, it was really good. The chocolate cake was the best thing we got. For the price we paid, was not worth it to be honest. If y’all go stick with mainly deserts, or try the pineapple rice sooo good.
This restaurant is a great place for a meal. The food is excellent, the service fast and friendly, and the decor and atmosphere is modern and welcoming. This is an expansion of the original restaurant in downtown Waterloo. The owners have good knowledge of the restaurant business and it shows. The location is not on the beaten track, so they had to ensure the quality and service would bring in the customers. The prices are fair, the menu selection varied, and matching the theme. A great place for a bite or a get.together with friends.
Made reservations for their outdoor cafe. Was meeting a friend there. 1. Didn’t have my name for the reservation 2. Told me to find my own seat outside 3. Waited for 10 minutes, no service. 4. Watched them seat other guests, give them their menus etc 5.. Still no service 6. I bring it to the attention of one of the servers. 7. She said defensively that she was told I was waiting for a friend. 8. People waiting for friends don’t get service? Maybe I would have liked a drink while I was waiting? So I got up, left and met my friend at MeetPoint. The food and service was amazing.
The interior design at this branch of Symposium Cafe is really nice and modern.The booths are super comfortable. The staff is friendly and service is fast. As you can see from the pictures their presentation is very aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately the carrot cake I ordered tasted super disappointing. I make a carrot cake at home that is infinitely better. The cafe late was good, the black coffee was not good and tasted more like water than coffee. The waffle was nice but not amazing. Over all it was an average experience.
Reserved a table on a Friday night for our anniversary, no problem to reserve and we were sat as soon as we arrived. We then waited 15 min for a server to come see us at which point we ordered the entire meal. We wanted a spinach dip and they had none at 7 pm on a Friday so we settled on calamari that tasted very good. I had asked the server for a water with my beer which I never receieved and then our food arrived after a lengthy wait (about 25 min). We had ordered the coconut pasta and a 2 piece fish and chips, both of which were also very tasty. Another server who brought our food to the table (not our original server) did refill my partners drink, got ketchup and got me the water. We ordered dessert since the food had been so good and it did come quickly, however did not match the description on the menu almost at all; it was the only disappointing food we had. Overall the food would get a 4/5 stars however the lackluster, rushed, and generally fake service we received from our server make this an experience we are in no rush to repeat.
Alex always does an amazing job serving us and taking care of his tables. he is outgoing and very relatable and always makes whatever occasion extra special with excellent service and attention to detail. this is our favorite restaurant and dining experience in the cities thanks to him and his efforts. I'm always happy to come in and see him working and always ask for him. On a side note the restaurant is always clean, food is delicious, and prices are reasonable especially for the venue and presentation. Keep it up! I would however change the spinach dip as I know recently they changed it and it hasn't been a hit.
The interior was awesome and also the breakfast menu shows a good variety to choose from. Unfortunately our waitress didn't do a very good job. Food was forgotten and I had to wait 30 min to get my Latte - the restaurant was kinda empty at that time. Furthermore my friends told me that the cook probably changed. The taste was not as good anymore as during their former visits and the presentation was carelessly.
