The Scene – The main room in this cozy, low-lit Mediterranean bistro is mostly non-descript, with a bar on one side, a kitchen you can peek into, and tables sufficiently spaced from one another to lend a sense of privacy. Flickering candlelight softens the bare floors and dropped, paneled ceiling. Service is sincere and attentive. – – The Food – Cafe Lily creatively combines the diverse cuisines of the Mediterranean on a menu that emphasizes rustic flavors. Rum-cured salmon served with caviar, egg, capers and crostini is an inventive starter, as is warm, chargrilled…

Can't wait to go back

by Louie1 at Citysearch

My wife and I visited Cafe Lily for the first time over the weekend. We were both impressed with the quality of the food and the great service. Our server, Mitchel, was fabulous and very attentive.

My wife ordered the Ravioli di Zucca (with butternut squash) and I had the Ornithenia Souvlakia (chicken with roasted potatoes, peppers and onions); both dishes were wonderful and the dessert was even better. The restaurant also has a delightful ambiance that was perfectly suited for a romantic evening on the town. I highly recommend Cafe Lily and look forward to our next visit.

  • Pros: Great food and wonderful service
  • Cons: Parking can be a bit tricky

Unpleasant Surprises

by EmoryDevil at Citysearch

I was quite disappointed by my Valentines Day experience. First, while I understand having a different menu for the special day, no mention of such was made on the website, so I was annoyed to arrive only to find all the cheaper options had been removed or re-priced. (Seafood-vol-vent is listed on the website menu as a lighter entree at $15, I was charged over $20 for what was a small enough portion that I dont think it was a different dish.)

Additionally, at a place as nice as this, and for the prices charged, I dont think its too much to expect my shrimp to be competently de-veined.
