Holts Cafe is a secret gem. Upscale setting, food and service with approachable pricing and menu. For a retreat from the city buzz, while in the city, this restaurant never disappoints.

Made a 6:30 reservation and at 7:20 (after waiting for server to clear dirty plates for 15 min) we were told we couldn’t have dessert because kitchen was closed. But, other tables were getting dessert. Service was terribly slow when it wasn’t busy at all.

I was not told that the Jo Malone tea is not avaliable on weekends until I arrived for my reaervation. My friend and I were disappointed. I had messaged Holt cafe via Open table and stated as I am pescatarian, I would like to replace the roasted turkey sandwhich with a second sea food option if possible. They said thank you for reserving the high tea and yes they can make that accomadation. That conversation was nearly six days ago and would have been the perfect time to state that the high tea isnt avaliable Mondays.

Servers were professional and knowledable and accommodated my friend who has a baby stroller. Overall the tea service was great. Some suggestions would be the scones are a little over baked and the petit fours are a tad decadent. Will come back again!

As always great spot to relax and have a bite and a drink. I usually would give 5 stars but the Vegetarian Frittata Was lacking in flavour and the avocado addition was odd. The service was excellent

I love the Cafe and have been going there for years for lunch, happy hour etc. I have always enjoyed the food, service, ambiance and swish banquet seating. However today I joined a good friend there for the Jo Malone Tea. It was so disappointing! The sandwiches were nothing special and somewhat tasteless. The pastries were so-so. But worst of all was the tea service. If you are going to serve afternoon tea, a nice elegant pot would be a better idea with pretty bone China cups. For $78 per person, lukewarm tea that is weak and served in utilitarian one cup pot is simply not worth it. There was nothing special about this tea service whixh had any element of Jo Malone to it. My guest and i thought it was a rip off. Only the glass of Prosecco (which was an added $20 each) was lovely. I hope if enough people complain, perhaps Holts will improve the experience, because it could be so much better. As is, not worth the $240 bill (with tip and tax.) Simply a rip-off trading on the Jo Malone name.

I have been dining at Holt's Cafe for years. The quality of the service & food remains consistent. Highly recommend for a business lunch or to meet up with friends. Don't forget to order the truffle fries. Absolutley the best!
