| - A group of friends/coworkers (5 of us) and I decided to try another Symposium, as we are noticing more of these Bar/lounges are opening up everywhere now.
We visited Wed night just after 7pm to have desserts only. The restaurant was busy.. pretty much all tables full. We only found out later that there was a special for mussels on that evening.
Our server seemed grumpy and annoyed.. didn't seem to want to be there. It was the first time for 3/5 people eating at this restaurant and they needed more time to decide on what dessert to order.
Our server seemed to only be recommending drink options and really pushing for us to order specialty coffee beverages. She asked us at least 4 times when we sat down.. even though we clearly mentioned we came here only for dessert.
I asked what were the cake options today (as I know last time from previous experience they don't have them listed on their menu and they don't have all different types every day). She just said that "I can go look at the cake display." Gee.. thanks for the help.. I got up from my seat to look at them and OF COURSE IM A CAKE EXPERT... (not) , NONE OF THE CAKES WERE LABELED. So, you can had to GUESS the types of cakes they had available. I stood there with another guest in the restaurant and we both didn't know what each of them were.
Nevertheless, I went back to ordering a fruit festival again, this time in a crape.. which was hardly one (super thin and burnt). It was alright. It tastes much better with the waffle. My friends had the super 5 layer chocolate cake, a waffle dessert and a brownie. Everyone seemed to enjoy their dessert- thus the rating I gave for only this reason.
The server did come back and ask how everything was which was great and again asked us if we wanted one of the specialty coffees again.. and asked again when they cleared our plates. Then when we said no, she just brought us our bill even though we were still chatting, didn't ask for it, and wasnt planning on leaving yet. We just felt rushed.
In the end, as like the other location, this one seemed much better. Unfortunately though, they need less grumpy servers.. ones who will smile and need to find a way to label their cakes or have their servers let their guests know what they are instead of playing the guesing game.
Atmosphere was cafe like.. decor was European, Roman like, dark with only neutral colours.
