Had the Halibut fish special and my wife had the symposium cheeseburger. A very nice atmosphere but don't worry about dressing up since this is Hamilton and this place is really comfortable for a nice quiet meal. ( unless there is kids in the place)
This was our first time at Symposium. We were planning on having breakfast for dinner but we changed our minds and tried the dinner menu. I had Ribs and Chicken w/ roasted potato, she had a Banquet Burger/fries and son had a BBQ chicken pizza. When the food arrived at the table, her fries were just barely warm. Back they went. Her bun was stale to the touch and dried out tasting. Otherwise the burger was good but nothing really special. My sons pizza was freshly made and quite good. Now to my meal....one bite of the chicken and I spit it out. It was bad. I got a second opinion and it sure was. Back it went. The ribs were side ribs, not my fav, and were kind of dried out and skimpy. The veggies and potatoes were bland, although cooked nicely. The manager came with my replacement chicken appologizing for the problem. It could have been me but the new chicken tasted bad as well. One thing was for sure, it was overcooked and dried out. Maybe from microwaving to rush it out. I ate a few bites and lost interest. Anyway, they gave us a $10 gift card and charged us for the complete meal, asking us to try them for breakfast. We might. We generally give restaurants a second chance. The waitress never once refilled our drinks or even asked, thus the low score on service.
Really great stop for a casual dinner with friends or family! And what a terrific menu! The fruit juices were yummy. The crab cake burger was delicious. Service was very friendly and prompt. We didn't have room for dessert however the brownie in the glass case was huge! I would return for that alone.
