3.5* really, I just can't justify giving it 4.
Symposium has a really cool atmosphere that is very Georgetown. Me and the friend I went with commented on how it'd be the perfect place for hip moms to get together, get drunk, and gossip. And we're pretty sure we saw at least 2 of these groups...
We just went for drinks and dessert. I had the Oatmeal Cookie Martini that somehow actually tasted like an oatmeal cookie. Highly recommended. Their cake selection is pretty extensive and they have some interesting choices for sure. I had a white chocolate cheesecake that was quite delicious.
My only reason for the lack of a stellar rating is that the pricing is a little steep. The $8 martini wasn't all that bad, but $8 for a piece of cake? Not like the portion size was huge, either. And then I paid an extra $1.50 for ice cream. Just seems kind of odd pricing, especially since this is a regular restaurant with full meals. I could not imagine paying that much for dessert if I'd also bought an entree there.
I do want to go back and try their entrees though as the place smelled great!
