I've been here several times for lunch only and the experience has been good overall.
I've had the meat lovers pizza which I think it delicious and packed with good stuff. My friends have raved about the soup as well.
Also the cost for lunch is good.. And the lunch specials are usually pretty solid value.
My only knock on their lunch is the time it takes sometimes to get your food.. And thus get back to work. I've been here with a party of 3 several times, and have ordered effectively the same thing, with a few others in there but not packed, and the time was very variable. Anywhere from 40 to 80 minutes. It would be nice if they stepped up and made this time consistent. -

Very good tomato bisque soup, my turkey wrap was very tasty. I will be back to try something new.

Attended a bridal here this past weekend! The place is clean, nicely decorated. The food was ok, not bad, not good, very very bland( we had a choice of 4 things) no frills, no flavor! I still cant wrap my brain around the vegetable tray they offered, the carrots on it were mushy, as in cooked till mushy then chilled! yuckkkkk
The service was wicked bad! One waitress waiting on our party of at least 30 guests, and she had other tables she was waiting on in the main dining room as well. It took over an hour to even get offered a beverage and by the time she got everyone served their beverages, everyones glasses were empty again. Then the meal service was wicked slow, she took our orders, then brought all the food out and very slowly passed it all out. I sat 20 min with my plate in front of me waiting for the others at my table to receive their meals. Just bad service all around!
I would try it again! interested in their authenic greek food, as our entree choices were pedastrian(chix c blue sands, chix caesar wrap,pizza or manicotti)
Looks like they pack them in as the place was filling up when we left. -

My wife and I were out shopping on Columbus Day when we decided to stop for a late lunch at Symposium. The place was nearly deserted, so we didn't experience the noise problem other reviewers have complained of. Quite the opposite, in fact. I think there was only one other table being served.
My wife ordered the soup and half sandwich combo. The soup was portabello mushroom, made with bleu cheese, and the sandwich was half a chicken Caesar wrap. She was not impressed, and if it were up to her, she'd give Symposium two stars, based on her mediocre lunch. But, since I've got the iPhone, it's up to me, and I think I chose wisely.
For $8.50, I had a really delicious pasta dish. Artichokes, pine nuts and asparagus, sauteed with tomatoes in olive oil, lemon and garlic, and served over penne pasta. It was incredible and worth four stars. So, on balance, we give Symposium three stars. I just goes to show you that two people, dining together, can still have very different experiences. -

The last two visits to this restaurant have clearly made us not come back.
My wife could not eat her dish and sent it back. The owner did take the price off our bill. My lasagna was greasy and barely edible. Place was rather deserted. We have tried giving this restaurant a chance but have given up. -

Not bad food. My first experience here was a vegetarian society dinner and i thought they had these things on the menu reguarly. The next time I went I looked for them and found the only veggie selections are pretty much salads and a couple of other small things. The food I did get was really good and the veggie dinner had excellent food. I would give it 4 stars if the veggie dinner items were on the regular menu.

I've eaten here a number of times. The service is always excellent. The dining experience is a bit too raucous. There is little to no separation between the various rooms, and many of the "intimate" two seat tables are along the main pathway to the kitchen, anything but intimate. Which is really a side issue as the place is generally too loud for any real conversation.
High quality food which you'd expect from the prices, nothing really spectacular.
I was a bit disappointed in the beer selection, I want something fresh not a bottle. -

Very boring and poorly prepared food.
Extremely bad service, some of the worst I've ever witnessed.
Used to go there more, but the service and poor food, and high prices just finally finished it for me.
Unless your a cute gal, the bartenders pretty much ignore you.
And they really don't care, that is obvious in their attitude.
The fine dining is a joke. They try to pass it off as something special, but the lack of skill shows. -
