SYMPOSIUM CAFE RESTAURANT & LOUNGE REVIEWS
Chinju our server was great! She was friendly and was able to serve the food in a timely manner. We had Chicken wings spicy Thai sauce and calamari. Chicken wings were good with the sauce but calamari wasn't as good as with previous visits
Went yesterday with my great freedom fighter friend evening and it was great service ! Good tasty veggie food. Lots of selection . I recommend this place to anyone passing by ! Will come again. Friendly. Nice warm atmosphere.
This has got to be the best place for dessert but I'm typically full from my meal that I now order a smaller meal so I have tummy space for dessert! Carrot cake is the BEST! I have been to Symposium's in Guelph and Oshawa and I have to say the team in Lindsay have the best attitude and have my friends and I going back again and again. Keep it up Lindsay.

GUSTO GRANDE REVIEWS
Stopped in on a whim. We had a great dinner. Staff very pleasant. We shared the Caesar salad which was very good. Pizza and pasta were very flavourful. Pizza is a good size. Very nice high end decor. It is fine dining. Prices were reasonable. Just made reservations to return in a few weeks. Will probably order the same dishes as they were so good.
First time here. The 'girls' of the family were celebrating 2 birthdays. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There were 5 of us and we were amazed that our waitress didn't write down any order and made no mistakes at all including accommodation of a few quirky requests. We enjoyed EVERY morsel from Appetizers to dessert and fancy coffees. I'm enjoying my leftover risotto for breakfast, still delicious. Thank you for a wonderful experience we will be back.
Delicious food and friendly staff! Beautiful decor and the renovations are well done. If you’ve been to the Grande in the past you will be blown away by what they have done with the place. The gnocchi was a hit with everyone and the drinks were great too. Ensure you call ahead and make a reservation!! They can get very busy on weekends.

PIZZA NOVA REVIEWS
Outstanding Pizza - Just moved to Lindsay from the Big Smoke 4 months ago where there are a ton of Pizza restaurants so I've sampled a few to say the least. My expectations were not high the first time we ordered because I've had Pizza Nova in Toronto and it was good but not exceptional. Wow was I surprised. The quality and attention to detail made me a believer. Best tasting crust hands down, great sauce, the carful even distribution of toppings (many Pizza makers botch this), consistent high quality of the product ( I waited until our 4th order to review) , friendly and courteous delivery staff. Your location is a benchmark and example for the rest. The pride of ownership is evident in your product and service. Bravo!
This Puzza Nova location (24 Kent st. W, Lindsay) has the friendliest staff and the pizza is amazing! They use the freshest ingredients and plenty of them! If you're looking for your new favourite pizza, give them a try
Wow, This location knows how to make good delicious pizza. Keep up the good work. Yumlicious!
