We went for lunch had their special scallops and bacon which was mind blowing and Todd was a true professional very efficient had a great sense of humour and very informative. Truly an amazing experience will be back soon.

Service was quite slow. We waited 40-45 minutes for our food to arrive. Although the food is always great, I was quite disappointed with the lack of quality service that this place usually delivers. I asked for my cheese board to be packed up along with the jellies that it came with. When I checked to the to-go container, the jellies were not there (I had about a tablespoon full of each jelly leftover). When I asked our server for my jellies, she told me she would have to charge for that. Why would I pay for something that was already on my plate? I am very disappointed in the service I received today, especially since my friends and I frequently like to have lunch there.

We wandered in here for weekend brunch when we were in the downtown pedway system and didn't want to go outdoors to find somewhere to eat. I always forget about this place, but today there was a sign just outside Holt Renfrew in the Manulife Place pedway level mentioning that brunch is served, so in we went... We were greeted by an older gentleman with a delightful English accent, and we had just lovely service here, even though 1) we were dressed like slobs, and 2) we had a (well-behaved) toddler with us (ps - no kids menu but they have high chairs). My hubby had the truffled poached eggs (with halloumi and truffled hollandaise sauce) which he really enjoyed (and he doesn't typically enjoy brunch), and I had the smoked salmon rosti. I was expecting more of a shredded potato texture instead of a smoother pancake-like texture. It was not bad, but I think I would have preferred a more shredded, crunchy rosti. Portion sizes were decent - definitely not skimpy, but not super-sized. Prices were on the higher side ($19 and $20 for our dishes), but it's Holt's... Food came out reasonably quickly, and even though the restaurant got packed closer to noon and the waiter was running from table to table, he got us on our way quickly before the toddler threw a tantrum... I'd call that a success!

Great new menu! The food is fresh and seasonal. Note this is a lounging restaurant. You should come accordingly.

The food is good, it's very pricey but the downfall is the service. Very slow for a place that would have government workers who only have an hour for lunch. I enjoyed it more in the past but they need more help now.
Richard is amazing, excellent customer service, Cafe is perfect
Great place for lunch!
Did not try lunch but the menu looked interesting. Had the chia parfait and it was beautifully presented. Service was friendly and efficient.
For a cafe - excellent. Food is outstanding, service is stellar. Great place for lunch.
It was a noisy place and we couldn't hear each other talk. Menu choices were odd, but tasty enough.
Great service, food was better than you would expect from a cafe in a department store, but very pricey.
A hidden gem.
Pretty cool place
A fabulous meal, but the highlight was the most professional and competent server I have ever seen in Edmonton.
My favorite. Always
