Symposium

This is my first time trying local Greek food as I had a favorite in Brooklyn that closed during the pandemic. Symposium will be my new go to spot. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

We walked in on a Monday night, was seated fast. Decor was nice. Noise level was decent. Good came out quick. Waiter was good. The food was delicious. Took the soup to go, and was excellent. The food wasnt greasy. The plates were huge, so the price to food portion was a good value. We had some Mythos and Alfa beers. It felt like we were sitting back in Santorini on a late night dinner date.

We were there in December and came across Symposium while walking. We were impressed by the cozy atmosphere and the amazing service we received. Our server knew a lot about the history of the restaurant and was helpful in suggesting a wine with dinner. The hummus, lemon potatoes and steamed vegetables were all very savory! I highly recommend and we will be back next time in NYC!

Highly Highly Highly recommended! The general vibe of the restaurant feels homey and cozy, the staff is very nice, and most importantly; the food is delicious! The portions are big so you won't leave hungry! They also have a special selection of wines that I recommend to try! It's located close to the 1 train (Colombia University) so getting there is not a problem at all. I definitely will be coming back!!

Ate at this historic restaurant with a friend who works at Columbia nearby . The space itself is incredibly beautiful. One of the loveliest and most welcoming spaces I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant. Service was also great and I appreciate that they chill the water in the ice bucket with the white wine so it comes to the table refreshingly cold. The food was ok. We both got the puréed potato and beet appetizer which was excellent. My friend got a lamb burger that he really liked. I got the chicken souvlaki which was nothing to write home about. Both were part of a lunch special deal. The table beside us got saganaki and a whole fish. That looked like a better meal, though I’m sure it cost more. In short, I would go back but probably order something not on the lunch special menu.
