Went over to Symposium this morning for breakfast and it truly disappointed me. I've been at this restaurant once before, in North York. The first time was amazing, to me it gave off a very luxury vibe and everything was amazing. After today's visit, I definitely will not be returning.
I ordered Eggs Benedict with Smoked salmon and toast. The toast came out drenched in butter. (I prefer to not eat butter). My potatoes were COLD. When I asked them to pop my plate into the microwave for a minute, they brought me a fresh batch of potatoes that were freshly made. This showcases that they gave me 30 min old potatoes (if not older).
My water was brought out in a dirty glass that had red lipstick on it from a previous visitor.
The person who I was with, ordered a salmon sandwich. They brought out 4 slices of smoked salmon and only 2 slices of bread. Then, when he asked for more bread, he ordered a chibatta bun which came out DRENCHED IN BUTTER!!!
Lastly, there was a new girl with the waiter who was being trained. The girl brought out our drinks and held the cups by the top. The waiter training her was immediately like "nope nope nope". Thats very unprofessional on her behalf. She should've told the girl how to put down glasses in the first place instead of having her do it her own way the way she felt right in the moment and then be completely RUDE to her in front of us....
Never again. It is worth paying MUCH MORE MONEY for OUTSTANDING service and food. This cheap stuff I DOn't recommend to anyone !
