Holts is my go-to place for a power lunch. Dining is always a pleasure and I always like the noise level (low) which is fabulous because I can hear the conversation with the person I am dining with.

Have often come to this cafe for brunch, but they have changed the menu, and not for the better. No Eggs Benedict, and the replacement is a one egg only croissant sandwich. Fried chicken gone, french toast gone....we were disappointed. We all ended up getting the classic breakfast as nothing else was appealing, but you can get that anywhere. Was okay, but not fantastic. The Maitre d' was, and is. always charming, and a pleasure to see, but the service at the table was not what we are used to. Generally the wait staff is outstanding and professional, but today our server kept disappearing, which was odd as the restaurant was quiet. Not a bad experience but just not as pleasant as in the past. We all sadly felt we need to find a new brunch spot.

On the weekend, only a limited selection of items from the menu was available, which was quite disappointing as it significantly reduced our dining options.

Everything got our lunch visit was fabulous. Starting with our host who greeted us in a most friendly manner. Our server was attentive throughout our stay. The meal was incredible. We had the Seafood Platter, Chicken Green Goddess and the Chicken Katsu Burger and we were all extremely impressed with the flavours, the quality of food and the taste. We ate definitely going to return! A solid 10/10!
