Great Food
The food is great at the Cafe Lily - few restaurants do it any better. I did think the prices were little high, expecially for the drinks, but overall it was worth it.

First time loved it!
My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience here. She had the Risotto Con Cappesante ($19.95) which consisted of scallops on top of risotto with a rich white cream sauce. It was fantastic! The scallops were large and filling and the dish had a wonderful presentation. I had the Bife Acebollado, ($25) which was a ribeye steak with rich tomato sauce served with seasoned mashed potatoes. This steak was cooked perfectly, and the taste was amazing. Definitely try their homemade tiramisu ($5.95), so rich and creamy, great for anyone who enjoys espresso/coffee. We split a small Caesar salad ($4.95) which was pretty good. My wife ordered a Mai-Tini ($8) and loved it. I had a glass of red wine (Sycamore Lane Merlot $7.50) to pair with my steak. The only problem we had was locating parking since the lot in front of the restaurant is pretty small. There is a large parking lot further down the side street on which the restaurant is located that is open evenings and weekends. We called ahead for 9:00pm dining; we did not need reservations, but I think normally you may need them. We definitely will be going back.

Eclectic Excellence
Cafe Lily has been a favorite of mine since it opened. The place is family run - the quality of ingredients and preparation details make for a consistently great experience. My favorite dish is the lamb Pinchitos. The wine list has variety, quality and value, with a special zinfandel section.

Best Lamb, Expensive Wine, Make a Reservation
I had the lamb, he had the quail breast special and we shared the fig appetizer. I didn't care much for the latter two, but the lamb was PERFECT. Also, the cheapest wine they have is $9 a glass! Make sure you make a reservation because you get bad service if you don't and the hostess will be snooty to you. (that's what my friend said, anyway)

Not worth it!
So we had to wait a long time before our waitress could would even take our order for drinks. Food was okay...not that great. Atmosphere..if you are looking for a hip place to go..this is not the place. You will find mostly an older crowd.

Cafe Rip Off
After waiting an ungodly amount of time for overpriced food, complying with the "no separate checks" rule and STILL having the server overcharge someone in our party by a ridiculous amount after we paid about 80 percent of the bill in cash, I don't believe I'll be dining here ever again. Kudos to the manager for straightening out the billing issues, but this is the type of service one would expect at McDonald's rather than an establishment with $15+ entrees. If you have a fairly large dinner party, not only will you not be seated until the majority of the party shows up...despite a completely empty table reserved for you...sitting there..wide open...it's possible you'll also get ripped off by nearly $100. I'd look elsewhere for those "special occasion" dinners.

What a great restaurant!!!!
Cafe Lily is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I have been there a couple of times and their food and service is fantastic. The place has great atmosphere, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is out of this world. Try the lemon custard desert. It's a perfect end to a great evening at Cafe Lily.

Excellent Food and Wine
Definetly one of my favorite restaurants in Decatur. It's worth driving to if you don't live in the area. Very quaintly located in Downtown Decatur. With an appetizer, dinner, and bottle of wine, it's not the cheapest meal in the world but nice for a special occassion or weekend dinner. The atmosphere is very enjoyable as well. Not a lot of seating, sim lighting.
