| - We stopped by Symposium in Oakville one night for a late night dessert because I saw some positive reviews on Yelp. We ordered "East Meets West" on a crepe, which the menu states is a crepe with strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and strawberry purée, and on the other side, chocolate ice cream, bananas and chocolate sauce, all topped with whipped cream.
Since we had our dog with us, we ordered to-go, and what we received is nothing like the above description. It was a styrofoam container containing a bland, cold, dry crepe (it was awful!), a container with vanilla ice cream, and one with the bananas and strawberries. No chocolate ice cream, no strawberry purée, no chocolate sauce, and no whipped cream. We were going to just sit outside with the dog and eat, but it was impossible as everything had to be put together. Since the crepe was so cold and dry, it just broke apart. Can't believe it was over 10 dollars for that! I won't be back.
Note: I understand that sometimes when you order to-go from a restaurant, some things may be changed so your food doesn't get soggy, but if the dessert was this different from the menu, then I feel I should have been warned on the phone when I ordered. That way we wouldn't have brought the dog and we could've sat inside and tasted the dessert as it was intended to be. No excuse for the crepe though!
