Ordered chicken wings the cook was generes with the sauce( unlike the down town Guelph 0 restaurant). and the chicken wings had meat and not just bones, waitress was nice friendly, forgot to ask her name so I can add her to the review
We had a small Christmas Party 9 of us total. The young lady taking care of us was absolutely fantastic shout out to the bartender and kitchen staff as well ! Fast Efficient Delicious and the portions were huge. Almost everyone took leftovers home . We will be back in the new year for another get-together.
Our server Melissa was amazing taking care of our 30 guests. The drinks and food came quickly despite the large group and the team worked hard to keep us happy and the meal moving along.
This is a great place to meet, eat and linger with friends. Service was good but not outstanding. The food quality varied depending on the dish. Fish and salmon were fantastic, but do not order the calamari it was rubbery and hard to eat. They also state cocktail sauce for the calamari but served an aioli and when I asked about it, the Wait staff said that is what they always serve. 90 percent great food!
The food was fantastic. I had been in the past and was really impressed with the improvements in the food quality. Will be back. Was pricey. Breakfast for two was 60 dollars
We ordered pick up from this establishment. The salad was sent without any dressing and the lettuce was rotting. The food was all ice cold, we have pick up from State and Main further away and it is never cold like this. The sauce on the salmon was congealed, you can peel the sauce off like jelly skin. The chicken is plain, unseasoned and so dry. There was only 1.5 small potatoes, with dried rosemary just sprinkled on top. My partner called to replace the salad dressing and left before he was aware of the state of the rest of the food. The restaurant replaced the salad, with more rotting lettuce in the new salad as well. Inadequate service and accountability, very disappointing. Would not recommend, the quality and service were awful. Edit to add: after picking out the worst of the lettuce, we tried to eat the salad. It was so slimy, and there was something very wrong with the olives. They tasted very off, kalamata olives are my favourite and I've never had them taste like this.
Generous portions and a big, quiet atmosphere. Great spot for any occasion. Their open faced breakfast was delicious, which gives me confidence for the rest of their menu. This place also provides some of the best service I've ever had. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Came in for dinner today, was our first time here and Francesco was an amazing server! He made some awesome recommendations for food, and everything was delicious! Drinks were also so good! I definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back soon!
Always a great value for the $$

Great food in a lovely atmosphere with cozy vibe. Good quality for a good price.
Love coming to Symposium for breakfast! The Eggs Benedict s are always a hit with me and I ve always had Paul as my server. Paul is a fantastic server who takes care of his customers
Went here on a Saturday morning. We were seated quickly, our server was pleasant. Coffee was good and top ups were quick. The restaurant looks nice, with large booths and plenty of space. The menu was pretty beat up and a bit dirty. Looked like it hadnt been wiped down in a while, I found stuck stains on the rear most pages. I got the Chicken club with fries, and a side gravy. The sandwich was terrible. Dry, chewy chicken breast, unripe tomatoes and wilted lettuce. I needed to ask for mayo, it didnt have any on it. The fries were ok, clearly bagged fries with some seasoning salt, and the gravy was also ok. While I have no complaints about the service or the setting, the food put me off, and thats going to weigh my review down further than the other elements.
The cafe has a nice vibe and atmosphere to it. Tyler offered an amazing service, and we had a really nice experience overall. Would definitely recommend!
Paul was the best. Dialled in. Makes a great Caesar. Checks in ALOT.
Paul is one of the best servers my partner and I ever have, we came in on a Sunday during peak busy time and he was quick, efficient and personable. I ve had him just about every time I ve dined here and have been happy with the experience each time
Wonderful afternoon spent at Symposium! The food, atmosphere, our server Paul, all exceeded expectations. Well done!
I had a couple good experiences years ago and more recently a bad one. Service had been exceptionally slow. It might have been almost an hour before we ate and it wasn t even that busy. I decided to give it another go and went for breakfast. The menu was very limited to what I could eat as I can t have any wheat. For me this place just isn t worth it.
Food was food. Service was good
Ok.ok.ok
Paul was fantastic!!! Thank you Paul ! Food
Paul made our lunch meeting !
This place is absolutely amazing. We have not ever been here. We live in Guelph. lol We will be coming again. Food
Paul was fantastic! Food was delicious. Definitely will be returning
Good food and decent prices
This was an OK experience. We have been here several times over the years. The food was good, but the price has gone up and the portions have gotten smaller. It has been a go to place for us, not so much now.
Great place to meet friends and enjoy great food
Server Amritha was great! She was fast and accommodated me and my friend with such ease. Thank you for the great service!
Breakfast was ok.
Great spot!!
Super good place, Paul took care of us really well Would recommend for anytime place to eat Food
Went to meet up with some friends tonight, and wanted a quieter place. Melissa was our server, and she was fantastic! Ordered the fish tacos - a little messy (naturally) but super yummy! Service was fast, efficient and friendly.
Went for brunch on a Saturday. Excellent service. Great menu. Lots of space in the restaurant.
Our server Paul was amazing, I d come again for his service alone, the excellent food was a nice added touch
Good food and service
Lovely food and very attentive service by Amritha on what was a very busy night for them.
I made a reservation for five on the patio and the reservation was accepted. When we arrived the server showed us to a table for four (honestly it would have been tight for four people it was more like a table for two) and offered to squeeze in another chair. I mentioned the reservation was for five and the server seemed unable to process what the problem was. She did not offer to even push two tables together. We stood awkwardly on the patio waiting for an appropriate response and there was none. I suggested sitting inside. After looking at the menu and the exorbitant prices ($10 to add chicken to a salad or pasta!) we left. Every aspect of that attempted meal was unsatisfactory.
My husband and I have always had wonderful service provided by Paul. Food is delicious and quick! Parking: Very quick and easy
Disappointing meal. I had fish & chips. The fish was overcooked and the sweet potato fries were undercooked.
The food is amazing, however, Paul the server is wonderful and is why we come back. Great breakfast experience!
Paul is a great server and it was so nice to see him after sometime and as always looked after us as though we were his friend
The lunch salad and flatbread special was great!
Excellent food, and service! Lots of coffee refills which I love. Our Waitress was Julie and was very helpful when I asked her for avocado or guacamole on the side and checked prices for me. Nice and cool in the restaurant. Very enjoyable experience today. Sharon M.(of Puslinch, Ont. )
Very bad customer service, cake was old and dry. DO Not recommended at all.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Food
Decor was nice. Food was so so, and very expensive. $30 for a salad with chicken on top and a coffee. And the chicken was overcooked and tough. That s a crazy price for not so good food. Find somewhere else. I certainly will.
Excellent atmosphere, a true gem in guelph. The chicken parmesean is excellent.
Really great experience, beautiful quiet patio on a Sunny Friday night.
Ordered for takeout today, food was decent but was floored at their prices for to go pops?! After tax, $5 for a fountain pop..the same amount you would pay to dine in at the restaurant and have free unlimited refills. Should reconsider your takeout prices, complete rip off
Our server was funny and very personable.
Took my girls to symposium for dinner. We had never been there at that time. We normally go for breakfast. Our server Amritha was excellent. The food was great too. Both my kids raved about it hours after dinner. We will be back.
Very accommodating and great service and food! Dietary restrictions: Accommodating diet Kid-friendliness: They have a kids eat free promotion which was great.
Our server was very attentive and helpful. Thanks for looking after us so well Amritha!!
Mediocre is the best way to describe the experience. The host was more concerned with answering the phone than seating the people standing in front of him. Once seated we waited over 10 minutes to be greeted by our server who seemed annoyed with the host who put us in the section. We had to ask for our drinks and once our food came out ~ we were switching parts of our meals that had been mixed up. The restaurant is tired looking and needs some attention. Not a great experience.
Paul is a wonderful server and we enjoy our food every time! Highly recommend for a nice meal and good service.
Friendly server, excellent food, good portion sizes, nice atmosphere. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free menu available. Food : 5/5 |
My favourite restaurant!! Been here many times and love it.
Amritha was amazing! kind and quick service!
Go-to spot in guelph for a relaxed date with the girlfriend! Their wings are SUPERB! All the servers are great, but Amritha always go above and beyond. Vegetarian options: My girlfriend is vegetarian and shes never had a better fake meat burger!
Loved the place, specially the patio, food was great and service was excellent.
Tonight our server Abby made us the best margaritas and provided great customer service!
All good! Vegetarian options: The zucchini dish was delicious! Food : 5/5 |
We have been to symposium several times over the years with no concerns however in the last year I can say we have been disappointed everytime we have gone but today I felt a review was warranted. We ordered truffle steak bites (24.95) the were tough , tasteless and serving size was very small , chicken wings (19.95) not a great chicken wing . Three entrees a chicken ceaser wrap(this was ok average wrap ) chicken teriyaki bowl ( I have always gotten this over the years yet in the last three visits it has changed , no veggies in it other than raw Brussels sprout pieces that are bitter and some green onion pieces and sea food pasta which was ok but lacking in flavour and variety . Our bill was $150 with taxes and no alcohol . $45 for two very small very un appetizing appetizers . So very very very disappointed.
Tyler was great! Friendly and a great sport, food was amazing.
We have been loyal customers to Symposium for a long time. Today was our first visit since the menu change and it was extremely disappointing. Shrink-flation at its finest. The prices are higher, the portions are smaller and some of the food quality has changed. Do not order the braised ribs- they are not worth it. For 35 dollars you get two small pieces of ribs with a sprinkle of potatoes and veg. You are better off going to the Keg or Montanas. The calamari portion has shrunk and the price is more and the childrens chicken fingers have changed. My girls loved them but wouldnt touch them today. Our server was lovely and apologetic (not her fault obviously) She made the evening out worth while. Thanks Abby. We dont know about returning now which is a shame because this was one of our favourite dinner spots
We love symposium and have been visiting often. We enjoyed great food today and the service was very friendly. However, maybe because of the menu change, they dont offer Sunday Kids Free Special anymore. But, it is still listed as a Daily Special on the website, so customers will be confused. The new menu, Fishtaco, was excellent.
Very good experience. Amazing ambiance, servers were great.
Very relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food.
It was wonderful food, great music and Serena was wonderful!!! sweet and kind and efficient. Took great care of us!
We recently hosted a gathering at Symposium Guelph, and we couldnt be more impressed! From the moment we arrived, the service was incredible. The staff was extremely accommodating, ensuring every detail of our gathering was seamless.The food was outstanding fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making our guests feel right at home. A huge thank you to the team at Symposium Guelph for making our occasion so memorable. They truly exceeded our expectations! April & Stephanie Linked by Brilla
Great experience! Highly recommend it
We waited about 20 minutes and then flagged down a waiter so we could order our food. After taking all of our orders she informed us that the kitchen is backed up and it will take about 30 minutes to make our food. The restaurant was not even halfway full so we ended up leaving and going elsewhere.
Host was very friendly and atmosphere here was great
Paul is the best!!! Ask for him!!
A lovely feed with attentive service. Amritha, our server, kept us informed of the delay in the kitchen due to a large party ahead of us, which we thought was quite thoughtful.
Our server Amritha was very attentive and promptly and politely saw to our needs and orders, Avery enjoyable experience because of her.
The quality of the food is just average. The service needs a major improvement . The decoration is old.
Sat on the patio with a middle aged man serving us (don t remember his name). Great service, prompt food & drinks. Food was delicious. No complaints! Will return
Francesco and Tyler did an amazing job taking care of us, thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back soon!!!
Had lunch today with a friend and we both had the perogies. Absolutely horrible. Very tough and not much flavour. Had trouble cutting with a knife. Needed a very sharp steak knife I would think. Think our order got forgotten and left under the warmer too long before it was picked up. Maybe even put in microwave to reheat. Service was terrible. Hardly anyone in the restaurant and took forever to get menus. A table came in long after us and were eating before we got ours. Had to remind the server. Complained and they gave us half off which was lovely but would definitely not come back to this restaurant. I have always had good food at Symposium but not this location.
Had business team members up from the states and its a great place to host a large number of people. Staff very helpful in booking their room for these type of things and overall everyone had a great time, and enjoyed the dinner
The food and drinks were great and Francesco was so charming! All of our entrees and drinks came quickly and as ordered. Francesco was attentive to detail and provided an incredible guest experience!
We get fabulous service every time we come here from Paul, Patrick and the wonderful Francesco! We cannot express what wonderful staff they have here. Food is great Food
Always Great food and service . Special shout out to Paul . We ll continue to come back comfortable atmosphere fast service with attention to detail, good food.
We were there for the Easter weekend. Our server Carina was awesome, very friendly and very professional and the evening was great. Host was friendly, and it was an overall wonderful time.
the food was great & i loved spending fun time here with my girls. thanks to Francesco for a lovely service!
Went for an early Mothers Day brunch with my daughter. Excellent food and service.
Food and atmosphere was great. Our server Amritha was really nice and helpful. Kid-friendliness: Sunday kids eat free. We took both our kids on Sunday. They loved it. Food : 5/5 |
The vibe and customer service was great! However the food tasted kind of bland
Waiter had very little knowledge regarding the food. It took 1/2 hour to order and 4 times he had to go to kitchen. Is advertised as gluten-free but had very few options. Basically salad with no dressing for $15.00. Portions are very small. Had to track him down to get the bill. Expect $30- $40 per person, no drinks. Not worth it.
Has to be the best Symposium I have been to in a long time. We had a young waitress who did her best serving us. It was obvious she hasnt been serving for a long time but was friendly & kept checking on us. The food was great & the location is in a great spot. The only thing we didnt like is that there is only a single washroom & the door is literally right at the bar entrance for the staff so you hear the washroom & see each person going in& out. The bathroom looks like an afterthought as it is centered in the middle of the restaurant, with the drywall around it built into what should be the staff area behind the bar. With our booth right across from it, it stuck out like a sore thumb. We needed to go but chose to stop elsewhere because we felt awkward going when everyone could see and hear who was in it. Not to mention I dont think a wheel chair could easily access it. Vegetarian options: They had some protein bowls and salads that looked delicious on the menu but I had the steak sandwich and my friend had the chicken sandwich. The chicken was supposedly incredible and my steak sandwich was pretty good Parking: I found the handicapped parking a little awkward as its at the end of the building and not really set up very well. Would be better if it were close to the doors and if you didnt have to walk through the driveway to get to the walkway
Great Mother s Day dinner. The clam chowder is the best I have ever had. Server (Amrita) is great.
I visit symposium with my family very often, thanks to good food and very vibrant always smiling Amritha. If you want to enjoy best hospitality with food look for Amritha
It was late in the evening. Salads we ordered tasted good. It was nice and quiet as it was after dinner rush.
excellent service and great food. Good value for your money
Walked in with an 11 top. Unannounced. 1 cook in the kitchen. They were gracious and welcoming. Our server Paul was fantastic. Food was great. Will return for sure! Thanks!
Get good service with Amritha...... she is very nice
Amritha was a great server.... very attentive and responsive.
Came by for dinner with family for spouses birthday. The atmosphere was very calming, and the service was good. The manager was very kind, and had a good attitude. The food was to my surprise delicious! Finding more and more restaurants not tasting as good, so when I tasted my food I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was! Even the desserts were good and very filling! I would come again, and I would recommend!
Service and atmosphere is fantastic. Food is ok. We were a large group, ordered variety of mains. Some not enough spices, some overcooked, some is sank in a sauce. Edible but not tasty. Food
Amitha was excellent!
Went for breakfast today. Julie was awesome. My eggs were undercooked but, other than that everything was lovely. Best home fries in Guelph BY FAR! Thanks Julie! You were a busy lady and still did amazing for us
Our new breakfast spot! The last few times we ve been, we have had the pleasure of Paul serving us! He is super friendly and very efficient with what he does. The food is always fresh and tasty.
I went to Symposium on Good Friday for wine and apps. They have half price wine on Fridays but our server said the manager took it away for the holiday. I find this so cheap and disgusting to make some more money. We left and went to another restaurant that had the same special and didn t even think of taking it away for the one Friday holiday a year. I ve been here in the past and it was decent but if they are going to nickel and dime it s not worth going back. Give your money to an independently owned small business instead.
Just had a great dinner with the wife and the service from Francesco was wonderful. All around awesome experience
Amazing food, usually amazing staff until tonight. We had a very unfriendly server, she barely spoke 2 words to us, never checked on how the food was, didnt refill our empty glasses, when we asked for chocolate sundae for my son and she said okay chocolate ice cream and walked away, my son was like oh its supposed to be a sundae and she very rudely snapped back they are the same thing ...which i had to clarify they are not the same thing as sundaes have whip cream and sprinkles. 1- you should never snap on a customer...nevermind a child, especially when you are incorrect!
Nice restaurant. Good selection of food
Wish I saw the bathrooms first! I would have never ate there! Meh food for high priced breakfast in utterly filthy bathrooms. If they keep their bathrooms that dirty, tells me how clean they keep their kitchen!
Terrible food, overpriced, and questionable food safety. Would not recommend the breakfast or brunch menu here. I had a smoked salmon dish and my salmon was mostly grey and brown. Staff are nice but disengaged and busy.
My husband and I came in for lunch today having never tried Symposium before. Our waiter was super friendly and did a great job through our time at the cafe. The problem is the food. We had the warm spinach dip to start, my husband had the Symposium burger and I had the vegetarian wrap with Caesar salad. Now, the Caesar salad was great, and the flavors of the other things were good, but good God they use so much oil that I had to hold my wrap with a napkin. And my husbands hamburger bun had disintegrated before he could even get a proper bite in. The dip even was solid oil. All we could taste, even after eating the dessert (which was great btw and I can see why Symposium is famous for dessert), was oil. There was no flavor left behind because of how oily everything was. I didnt expect that coming here and especially didnt think that it would be the case with a vegetarian wrap. You can literally see in the one picture how bad the oil was for even one part of my wrap; the other side was so wet the wrap had disintegrated basically. So while the service was great, and the dessert was really nice, I dont think we will be coming back here due to the food and the fact that it was almost $100 for our food when it didnt feel worth it.
The staff for lunch and breakfast are awesome.
From the perspective of a 7 year old... The bread was a little crunchy and there should be root beer available. The chairs were very comfortable and fun. The food is excellent. The service is 5 star. From the rest of us - The food is excellent with great portions. There is a good Happy Hour from 3-6 pm everyday. The kids menu is really good and kids eat free Sunday. Excellent overall.
Some of the items we ordered were not up to our expectations. Fries needed to be cooked longer, calamari was over cooked (rubbery). Chicken seemed to be package and was not flat top cooked like we were told, chef Mic, microwave. I had the fish and chips, fish was really good. The manager came by to see how our experience was...
Francesco was our server and was absolutely amazing! So kind and gave great suggestions!
Francesco my boy was phenomenal
Had a great date night thanks to Francesco! Service was amazing!! Food was super yummy
Nice Ambiance. Tasty food and very good and fast service. Definitely visiting again. Food
This restaurant never disappoints me. The food & service are always great!
Absolutely horrible experience...will never go back. My friend and I both ordered the BLT with side Caesar salad The sandwich had two small pieces of bacon, lettuce and the tomatoes were not edible. The tomatoes were white in colour and hard as a rock. We brought our disappointment to the managers attention who responded that that is the way they get the tomatoesHe took our plates and said he would show the kitchen staff. When he returned he advised us that the tomatoes had now been separated in the kitchen. Not sure what this meant ...but obviously this did not address our concern over paying almost $20.00 for a sandwich which was not edible. Imagine our astonishment when we got the bill and the manager did not take the cost of the sandwich off the bill. When I talked to him about not taking the sandwich off the bill...he basically said too bad and didnt care that we were really unhappy. I have never written a poor review before but couldnt believe the lack of customer service. I will be letting all my friends and family know to never go to this restaurant. For the sake of a $20.00 bill this manager could of and should of handled this situation so differently and we would have left on a positive note. There is a lot of competition with restaurants in Guelph. I will be spending my money in a establishment the serves not only great food...but am made feel that I am a valued customer. Perhaps a course in customer service would benefit this manager so this restaurant does not lose more customers in the future!!
Bad portion sizes. It s not even a fancy enough restaurant where that s expected. Paid $32 for schnitzel cutlets and was only give 4 cubes of roasted potatoes, I understand why they put the cutlets over to potatoes now. Very disappointed
Go-to spot for eggs Benedict
Great food and service today! I had breakfast with a group of 16 people in the party room. Paul was an excellent server. Highly recommended!
Great and elegant place to have a meal or to hang out with friends.
Absolutely phenomenal food here and very average prices. Owner is very kind. I can t believe in my 21 years I never knew about this place right here in my home town! Food
The food is delicious. Service was fast and the staff and owner are friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.
No check up by server
Great menu and great service. We will definitely go back again Vegetarian options: They have a sign on the door for vegetarian Mondays I believe Food : 5/5 |
Enjoyed our meals and friendly service
Amber was our server. Very nice, explained answers to any questions. Always checking on us. Thank you Amber. Sarah and Fran Vegetarian options: Lots of options Parking: Lots of spots
Went to have a coffee with a friend, was able to enjoy a Chai latte with plant-based milk. Seating was comfortable and roomy, one side was more casual but nicer coffee shop, and the other side was more private with booth style seating. Staff were very friendly and quick, would definitely return! Dietary restrictions: Has several plant based milk alternatives for beverages.
Had a great brunch style meal in the bar area on a Saturday. Nice and quiet with exceptional service from Paul.
First time at Guelph Symposium. Food was really good as well as service. The atmosphere was so layed back and relaxing, will definately be going back
Our server Paul was fantastic. Attentive and observant. Food was great as well quality and quantity is 5 star. Only recommendation like to see real bacon versus the commercial stuff thin.
Wasnt the best service. Staff was not very know and sort of rude. But stayed anyway. Food was Good like always. But maybe need to step up your customer services game guys!!! Used to be my favorite place
My experience at Symposium Cafe was nothing short from incredible! My server Amber was always on top of our orders making sure we had coffee, waters, ect. Great food and good service for being as busy as it was.
Paul was AMAZING! Food was super. We had a great time!
Had a wonderful lunch with friends who were visiting. Our server Paul was amazing! Fun, friendly and attentive! Will definitely be back!!
Enjoy this restaurant.
First time here and won t be the last! Paul is the best server! so warm and welcoming LOVE IT!
Got my fiancé a chicken vegetable soup last night as he was sick and it was $10 for this tiny container of soup that consisted of soo many herbs and vegetables, hardly much soup, definitely bottom of the pot remains. He took one bite and didn t drink it anymore.. I tried it and it was super sour. Definitely do not recommend
Lovely place! Ramen was delightful, exceptional service from him!
Lunch Special Menu... scnitzel and chips with onion gravy was fantastic!
Seafood pasta was excellent, huge portion! The carrot cake was dry, which was disappointing for a place that prides itself on its cakes. There were groups having their Christmas gatherings here when we had dinner, they were so loud we could barely hear each other at our own table which made the experience less than stellar this time. So maybe avoid at Christmas if you want a quite dining experience.
This place was great, a surprise find everything about it was great. Great portions and fresh food. Will be coming back for more for sure!!
Absolutely amazing the food was fantastic! Their breakfast is great and Paul was a fantastic server!
Food was delicious, great choices of desserts. Super friendly staff and a nice interior.
Great place. Try the marinara mussels!
1/10/24- another late night dessert night with my daughter. The owner was in tonight and is always so very kind and attentive. The server was was polite. We had cake and coffee and I ordered a burger to go. They never rush us out even though its late. 12/16/23- another great meal and exceptionally good service. Came in with my mom who wasnt feeling very well. Our server Paul grabbed her some gingerale and crackers and suggested the chicken soup..he was so kimd and kept checking in with ua to see how she was doing. 11/27/23 -Once again stopped in with my daughter for dessert after a walk. Dan was our server. As always we had amazing service. He was attentive and very polite. He Made us some spectacular drinks. Very friendly conversation. --------------------------------------------------- Stopped in with my daughter after an evening walk. We stopped in fairly late, to have a slice of hummingbird cake and a coffee. Thomas was our server and was fantastic. Very attentive, and polite. Id go back again just based on the service but the cake was also a hit
Absolutely awesome and food exceeded my expectations!
Went for Thursday date night special. The price was very good for two people. Food was ok. The menu handed to us had a different steak option than what was posted online. We received the online version. Steak was cooked perfectly, but the rest of the meal was underwhelming. Service was excellent. The restaurant itself looks a bit dated and lacks personality. While our meal was ok, our experience wasnt enough to make us want to return another time.
Paul was lovely! Such attentive service and delicious food for a great price!
It is actually my first time in this restaurant really amazed by the food, the ambiance and the experience. It is a complete worth and really great. The staff is pretty friendly loved it. Vegetarian options: Must try the vegetarian stir fry bowl
Amber was our server, she was amazing and very knowledgeable on the menu and specials. Also friendly! Came for dinner during a busy time but still had time to relax and enjoy 3 courses.
Sharing the empty bowl of the vegetarian Stir-fry rice bowl. The food was excellent and the menu with so many vegetarian options. We liked the ambiance of the restaurant and our server Amanda was nice and friendly. We also tried the vegetarian Pad Thai and it was delicious as well. If you are in Guelph, and looking for a good menu with lots of vegetarian options, try this place out
Eggs benny have no flavor and not a lot of sauce. The eggs/muffin should be completely covered in sauce. Home fries are fantastic, just wished I had more I also didn t get alot of fries as well. Server was fantastic! Very friendly.
Very slow service. Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese was great Food : 4/5 |
I finally got to check out the Guelph Symposium and I am impressed! Service was great! Food was amazingly delicious! I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I noticed they have a couple large rooms that can be closed off for large parties. I highly recommend you stop by for breakfast lunch or dinner!
Great food! They accommodated our company event with 20+ people.
Very Friendly Service, amazing ambiance
The food was very tasty and the service was really great! The entire team of the restaurant was very welcoming and took genuine interest in getting you the best food served. Highly recommended! Food
Nice room.for a larger gathering
I picked my wife up from here after an evening with a few ladies for a Christmas party. I think there was about 12 of them. One server that was very overworked so meals were slow and drinks were forgotten. Something that you can hardly blame the person for, its more of a system that seems to be broken. My wife had fish tacos and she ate one, took the other two home...but shortly made their way to the garbage after she thought about how awful they would probably taste after they were reheated...soggy fish She was pretty bummed about the food, as were a few of the other ladies, which sucks, because they had a fun time all hanging out. My wife had a few and while waiting for her ride, she asked for a coffee and they billed her for one. I mean, yes, that coffee has a price tag. However, they knew who she was and the large group she was with and decided to charge her for a coffee. Really? Close to $1000 spent on a group and you charge for a coffee? Classy move.
Francesco was so friendly, such a great brunch
The staff and management were very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. We totally enjoyed our meal in a comfortable happy environment
Friendly service and great food!
Maryam did a awesome job serving our family Christmas dinner.
We attended for a large family gathering. Maryam did really well at keeping the flow going, without feeling rushed or waiting too long. Kid-friendliness: Our kids were happy with their meal choices and dessert. The private room gave them room to play.
Beautiful venue, an extensive menu. Quick service.
Fantastic service and experience with Amber.
All around an enjoyable experience!
Paul the waiter is a ray of sunshine. Very attentive without over crowding :) thanks for the awesome experience, Paul!
Food was great. We were seated off in a room by ourselves. Nice and quiet.
Great food at reasonable prices
Your regular run of the mill type breakfast place. Bacon was terrible, eggs were ok. Dont think I would go back
