Great food & service. It was our first time & certainly will not be the last one. Our waitress Christina explained to us about the menu items. She was very pleasant. We had Nana’s Marinated Eggplant for appetizer. Loved it. My wife had Seafood Pasta a la Cream & I had Pinchitos. Great food & flavor. Very tender & juicy …

Beautiful relaxed place to enjoy lunches and dinners. We went on Wednesday night for dinner and Sarah, our server was amazing. Our table was wobbly and the moment she noticed it, she fixed it right away. The best gesture of hospitality which I never got at any other place for same situation. Sarah informed us about the daily special options …

It's been at least 10 years since I've been to Café Lily...shame on me. I don't remember having a better meal anywhere in downtown Decatur. The risotto was cooked perfectly, infused with perfectly seared scallop essence. The calamari presentation was wonderful, continuing to cook on a sear plate at the table. Tuna was a perfect medium/medium rare, and the crab …

What an AMAZING MEAL! We savored every single bite. The shrimp sauteed in EVOO appetizer is not to be missed. Every single bite was redolent with exquisite flavor. Paired with the Tuscan bread, it is a perfect start to a perfect meal. Then we shared the Spanish Lamb dish which is a house favorite. We are big lamb lovers, but …

I had a great experience here with colleagues! We all shared plates and didn't have a bad bite to eat - standouts for me were the shrimp app and the ravioli. The wine (pictured) was incredible, too. Super nice staff and an unpretentious, fun vibe. I definitely recommend a visit!

We had a resy for 3 last night and loved our experience. Our server was very sweet and she was so attentive. The Host Levi gave lots of great recommendations that were spot on for our group. We loved the butternut squash ravioli and the bean salad most but everything was delicious. We will definitely come back when we are …

Phenomenal all the way around. The food was delicious and service very good. I got the spaghetti alla nerano with salmon (made vegan). The presentation of the dish was beautiful. It is on the pricier side, but great place to visit for special treat. They offer gluten free pasta and notate the food allergens on their menu. my husband got …
