At Symposium Greek Restaurant, dining is rooted in connection - bringing people together in a space where conversation carries the evening forward. Since 1969, the table has been shaped by Greek food and wine, shared in a way that feels natural and unhurried. Envisioned by artist Yannis Posnakoff, our restaurant was created as a place for students, locals, and visitors to sit together and stay awhile.
Tucked into the Upper West Side, the room is defined by hand-painted details, closely set tables, and a lived-in feel that invites people to settle in. It’s less about formality and more about rhythm - plates arriving, glasses refilled, conversations continuing.
Decades in, that approach remains unchanged, drawing people back to the table again and again.

Great food! Our server was super kind and the food came out in a timely manner. Our group enjoyed every dish we ordered! The lamb was perfect. Highly recommend!
WOW!!! Best spinach pie ever! My wife spent time living in Greece and ate a spinach pie every day for lunch. She has been trying to find a similar pie for me to enjoy since I was not there. We have had spinach pies from the West coast to NYC. Here we found the best she has ever had and me as well. It was huge, thick, full of fresh spinach and cheese, flaky outside, hot, and served with style! Thank you!
Had a Sunday lunch for five (we booked ahead). It was just such a fun and delicious experience. The waiter was really friendly and helpful, recommended some good dishes but also was honest with portion sizes (huge!) so we didn't order too much. We had: Mixed dips mezze starter, moussaka (traditional and veggie), spanakopita, calamari, dolma and a Greek salad with chicken. There was so much food, we all took home a doggy bag. It was all delicious, there was nothing that didn't feel fully authentic. Definitely recommend this place.
This restaurant is reminiscent of old style New York City homes with brick walls, wooden panels, and low lit environment. The service Sunday evening was excellent and delightful. The meal was delicious and well served.
