| - Great new spot in my hood with such warm ambiance great for families or friends for dinner, coffee, dessert or all of the above. This location replaced Max Convenience Store and rightfully gained the status of landmark-ing this corner like a BOSS!
At first, Symposium Café gave off the ''coffee and tea'' vibe and then you dine in and their menu is like 50 lbs heavy. Decisions, decisions, you say? I wanted to eat backwards and start my meal with a huge slice of cake and waffles and then finish off with a steak salad.
They've got specials every day which makes Monday burger night, however they remain a ''dine-in special'' ONLY so don't think for once ordering 5 burgers for $20 will earn you bragging rights at the dinner table without breaking a sweat in the kitchen. Bring 'em all in and have a drink instead. Would've been better if it came with a small side of fries though, even like 10 pcs.(minus 1 star) but then again, HELLO YONGE ST. property value!
Our server was very attentive and super sweet, considering the many requests our group had with a party of 4 children in tow. I mean, Monday is tough already and dealing with 'more mayo and more ketchup' and potentially mixing up beer and milk requires a high level of pretending you give a hoot and playing nice nice all at once.
This location, seems to me operates like it's franchise owned which is great. Management seems more involved with the customers. The Manager came out on many occasions dealing with customers himself. He even agreed to serving a free burger for my cousin as his cow mooed a bit too late while everybody else was already indulging and belching. The fact that they owned up to FORGETTING the order AND RECOVERING quickly without wasting anytime on pointing fingers to who had mild amnesia proved this ship is run properly.
