    It is located on Yonge Street, and parking is convenient. Above all, the staff is very friendly. When I asked a question, a manager-like person came and explained it to me very kindly. My wife and I plan to visit often with our children. Of course, the food was also great. Highly recommended.

    When we arrived at Symposium, we realized that the air conditioning was off. On speaking with the manager, they admitted that they turned the air off because there were so many people on the patio despite the fact that there was an equal number in the restaurant. The food is mediocre at best, the prices are high, and there was absolutely no service after delivering the food. Anything I needed got up from the table myself and asked someone at the bar for something as simple as a serviette or a glass of water. I will not be returning to this restaurant anytime soon. Actually, anytime ever.
