    Absolutely exquisite service and food! Anna was impeccable. We never had to ask for anything because she provided a level of service not seen in most restaurants today.

    Cafe Lily provides reliably excellent food and service. It is one of the most underrated restaurants in my point of view, and we have been coming here for close to two decades. It has an intimate atmosphere and is a model of a wonderful restaurant for two or groups.

    I organized a birthday dinner for a friend and she was eating at Cafe Lily for the first time. She is a foodie and loved the food. She had one of the specials. We all ordered different dishes and loved them. Mussels, sauted calamari, lamb, mocktails, whiskey Wednesday. The service was excellent and there was a specific birthday desert. I love the location and I highly suggest eating at Cafe Lily.

    Two different appetites two satisfying solutions. I ordered the chicken Marsala (perfect) and she ordered the fish (also perfect). A bottle of her favorite Chardonnay rounded off a perfect evening.

    Very good. Were out of one entree we ordered. Some of dishes were larger servings than anticipated. (I didn’t really need to order that salad.)
