Symposium Cafe Restaurant Ancaster

Sid was great! Quick service and lots of options

Great atmosphere. Fun staff.

I ordered the fish and chips, we shared a Spinach dip entre and Sean ordered the butter chicken pouting and a Mediterranean salad... I got 2 pieces of fish, but they were tiny, and the batter was so thick...not sure whether to make them look bigger....but :( disappointed - maybe 2 mouthfuls a piece - not worth the price paid. The fish was good but don't be cheap on size... Also, the carrot cabbage salad (on the plate) had a chemical taste of ? Fridge or something...definitely needed to be changed out... The butter chicken was bland... The waiter was attentive and didn't hover, which was good, interesting decor. But as we came in - 2 seats for waiting, one had a big stain...needs to be cleaned or changed out. We went on a Tuesday night and were the only patrons. Huge space, with tables and booths. We're from out of town...probably will try another place if wver back to Hamilton... I added a pic of how thick the batter was...like bread... :( Vegetarian options: They offered some vegetarian dishes...pastas, zoodles

We had not been in a while. It has really gone down hill! They seem to have cheeped out on the food (fries were like McCain baked fries). They had 2 or 4 cakes in the display case. The furniture was beyond its last legs.

The place looks Classical but the only problem,was their food...I ordered steak for breakfast but it's cold not warm.

First time eating here I’d give it more than five stars if I could. Excellent menu with a plethora of options, takes a while to decide what you are desiring. Nicole was our server and was full with hospitality, setting a very wholesome experience. This combo of service paired with food is unmatched for the price in the Hamilton/Ancaster area. Do not sleep on this restaurant!

Great service!

Food and service are always excellent !! Dined in today and had the butter chicken and veggie flatbread and both were delicious ! Will definitely be back
