As a food reviewer, I am always on the lookout for places that provide exceptional dining experiences. Symposium Cafe does just that. With a concept designed to cater to a diverse clientele, they skillfully blend comfort and elegance, making their space ideal for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a sweet treat to satisfy your cravings. Customers rave about the veggie burger, touted as one of the best ever tasted. Shannon Munro’s delight at finding it for just $5 during a sandwich special speaks volumes about the value for money you can expect here.
Among their offerings, the food is complemented by a welcoming staff, many of whom, like in the case of a budding server in training, demonstrate a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Eric Anderson highlighted the restaurant's amazing atmosphere, which, combined with friendly service and fresh juices, creates a truly engaging dining experience. If desserts are your weak spot, prepare to be amazed by their selection of cheesecakes and the famed Sweet Taboo Cake, described fondly by customers like Shannon as "to die for." The espresso bar is also worth mentioning, ensuring your visit can be paired with a perfect vanilla latte to enliven your day.
Though the restaurant is new, as noted by Taylor Martin and Aurora, it shows promise in both decor and service. While initial visits may come with minor hiccups like slower service or construction adjustments, the management team is responsive and attentive. Aurora's encounter with the manager who kindly offered tea when the temperature was chilly illustrates their commitment to improving customer experiences. However, as with any new establishment, there are always lessons to be learned. One review pointed out a challenge with communication, underscoring the need for ongoing staff training to refine service capabilities further.
In conclusion, Symposium Cafe Restaurant & Lounge embodies a happy blend of delicious food, attentive service, and a welcoming ambiance.

Awesome food and service. My server was super friendly and helpful explaining all the cakes. I got the veggie burger on the sandwich special day so it was only $5 and honestly the best veggie burger I have ever eaten. Also love that they have an espresso bar! They made the perfect vanilla latte to go with the sweet taboo cake (to die for)!! I’ll be back for sure.
Amazing atmosphere and decor. Prices are excellent for quality and quantity. Can be a casual meet together place but also formal event. Staff was so good, helped my mom and grandma with dietary needs. Fresh squeezed juice and amazing cheesecakes and other desserts.
Finally a new place that offers breakfast, and good breakfast. Haven’t had dinner yet but will definitely be back!! The place just opened so I’d give them a break if the service is a little slow. They will hit their stride. That being said, the service was great at my visit!
My husband and I went in for dinner a few days ago and we loved the food and service. The service was a bit slow , but it is understandable it is their first week open. The management team was great as well, when I mentioned it was cold in the restaurant the manager, Jay, brought me some tea and it said it was on the house. He apologized for the cold and mentioned they where having heating problems because the building is new. Over all we loved it, and we will be back. We hope you find your groove soon and welcome to uxbridge.
Came in last night (Saturday evening) for dinner, family of 5. Prior to placing our dinner order, I had specifically asked if the chicken in both the Teriyaki Chicken and Butter Chicken were processed or fresh REAL chicken. After choosing the Teriyaki Chicken based on the explanation that they cook the chicken breast fresh each morning. I had also asked not to have any pineapple. Upon receiving our food, I had called the waiter back over and identified that the meat looked processed and that customer's shouldn't be mislead. He offered to send over the manager (I'll also note, our server was in training). The manager came over not to ask what our concern was or to gently advise that the server was correct and the chicken is fresh not processed. The Manager came over angry, confrontational and only stated "the chicken is baked fresh" walking away immediately. ZERO soft skills or tact for dealing with customers. We had my 4yr old at the table, I was not going to get into it so I proceeded to give it a try. While unfortunately there WAS pineapple in the dish as requested without therefore had to return it. Honestly I would never return due to the poor quality service from the "Manager", HOWEVER I will say the sever in training did quite well and trying to ensure we had a good experience. Maybe he should be the one in the leadership role.
Very nice place. It's very new so the decor is very nice. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. We ordered two dishes. Mine was great, and my fiancée had a pasta dish that ended up being way spicier than expected. It tasted nice, but was just way too hot for our taste. They had no problem exchanging it for another dish. We normally never send a dish back, but we just couldn't get two bites through it before drinking all our water. Overall great place. We would go back and eat there again.
