Yummy food and great service. Blaze was a great server and his recommendations were delicious. He recommended adding shrimp to a popular pasta dish and it was great! I got the half portion but should have gotten the full. Yum! I tried corn chowder for the first time and it was life changing.

One of our favorite restaurants! The only interesting thing about it is parking. If you've never had their calamari... then you are missing a treat!!!

Many years ago I loved this place, but it’s been inconsistent consistently since. I keep going back to try again because I at least love what I love and events are well done, but I visit less and less. Last time I got the pinchitos, the one thing I’ve found that’s always great (seafood can be unfresh and other meats over cooked) and they served a cut of cow beef instead of lamb and didn’t say anything to me. Seems the proper thing would be to let me know about the exchange, but they didn’t and I wondered if they thought I didn’t know the difference between cow beef and lamb - I took the entree to go after having wine and salad at the bar. It’s rare that I go and all is well (like it used to be), but I’ll give it a try a couple more times before giving up. Also management and staff are high turnover and that’s rarely positive. I hope they can find the right people again, and all around.

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 cake, while a bit small, was one of the best I've ever had.

First time trying...the crab cake was not good. It seemed like it was bought as a patty. But the ravioli dish was delicious. The sangria is good too.

Excellent food and fantastic staff. There were 6 of us and we were there for brunch on a Sunday.
We got different items and each one was excellent and worth the visit.
The only negative was the service was very slow. Our orders were taken and brought out quickly enough but any additional items, condiments or coffee, took a long time - so much so that we were almost done with our food before we got additional ketchup!
With all that, the food and cocktails were good enough that we would go again and recommend this place to others.

I have been to Cafe Lily's a few times but the most recent time when going to lunch, I had the worst experience.. Terrible service, I had water spilt on me by one of the hosts..I ordered the Jerk Chicken Sandwich which was burnt as well as the serving bread. When I spoke with my waitress about the following problem, I was told there was nothing they could do and I ultimately ended up trashing my lunch for the day. No resolution and money wasted.

I gave 4 stars for food bc I haven't had more than 2 dishes of the menu, so I really don't know the food well enough. I gave 4 stars for food bc my ravioli was sitting in oil/butter, it was more rich and creamy than I care for or can stomach in one sitting. I'm writing the review mainly to say; I have been sober for 2 years and I was delighted to see the non alcohol cocktail menu. I'm frustrated bc I ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail, I pointed on the drink menu under non alcoholic drinks- showing the server. I took a rather large sip, and it was real whisky. Had I been someone who really needs their sobriety, that could be devastating. I was still affected the rest of the night, pretty upset about it. The bartender nor the server seemed to understand the graveness of such a mistake.
