Review Summary

Café Holt Ogilvy offers a stylish and sophisticated setting that many diners find perfect for a relaxing break, brunch, or an afternoon tea while shopping. While the atmosphere is frequently praised as elegant and modern, reviews regarding the quality of food and the consistency of service are notably mixed. Some guests rave about delicious dishes and attentive staff, while others express disappointment with lukewarm temperatures, overcooked items, or slow service. Despite some inconsistencies, the establishment remains a popular destination for its refined aesthetic and overall convenience, though some visitors feel the culinary experience does not always match the high-end location.

Disappointing experience. One cocktail from the menu was not available , & the server offered to change the tequila in another cocktail , don't know why , is just a cocktail , & did not mention that this substitution would add $17 to the price. The cocktail was already over $22, so this nearly doubled the cost.
What was frustrating is that he clearly mentioned the price of a champagne option on a Thursday , but did not explain the extra cost of changing the liquor. I also do not understand why a liquor change was suggested for one cocktail but not for the other cocktails, which are normally prepared with the liquor listed on the menu. The change was unnecessary & should have been presented with clear pricing before being offered.
We also waited over 15 minutes at the entrance because there was no visible hostess & had to find a server ourselves. Better communication about pricing & a more welcoming arrival experience are needed.

Unfortunately awful coffee.

Found through the Th3rd wave app, so I expected good coffee, especially with such a high end atmosphere. What I found was overextracted lavazza espresso. If you're looking for good coffee in this area, Faro is not far at all.

Had a lovely Mother's Day afternoon tea at Café Holt yesterday & everything was absolutely wonderful.
We've also been there before for brunch & every visit has been consistently great - beautiful atmosphere, attentive service, & delicious food. You can really feel the care & attention to detail in the whole experience. Definitely one of those places that makes you want to come back again

Eggs overcooked, burnt in fact. Fries, bland, somehow. Tiny portion of tartare, 4 sad crostinis, 17$. The service was attentive, if not slow. Art deco, generic.

Avant ou après une séance de shopping, c est l endroit parfait pour un lunch léger, dans une ambiance calme & un décor élégant. Également ouvert pour le brunch, samedi & dimanche seulement.
