Holt Renfrew, Edmonton, Alberta

Holts Cafe, run by Executive Chef Corbin Tomaszeski; who also oversees Toronto, Montreal and Quebec city Holts Cafes.
Um cute atmosphere, busy everyday, been around for many years.  It was my very first time today, it was alright.  I had the Holts Cobb Salad which i believe unfortunately sat in the kitchen too long while waiting for the protein to cook. I think it was butter lettuce, but im not sure, with globs of creamy tarragon dressing, some tear drop tomatoes cut in half, avocado, feta and a dry breast of chicken. This salad has potential, it just needs a bit more respect.  Mums Herb Crusted Scallop and Prawn Salad was definitely more successful, fresh cucumber and corn with champagne vinaigrette.  Beautifully cooked scallops and prawns.  We also shared the Foccacia with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, it was good, bread a bit dry.....
Nice service, reasonable prices.  I would give it another shot, perhaps on a better day....
