The food was fair, and I was given the wrong order. When I called the server over, she told me it was the correct meal. I ordered Chicken Masala with mushrooms and I was served fish in butter. When an associate was called over, they backed up the server. When I asked for the manager, I was told the manager was busy. The server ultimately admitted she put in the order incorrectly, but refused comp me or bring me the correct dish, because I ate some of the dish. When the bill arrived the server told me she would credit me the difference between the two meals, after telling me the difference would come out of her paycheck. The bill was not adjusted. The manager or owner should educate the staff about the food they are serving!!! Between the mediocre food, dismal service and poor restaurant policies, I will never go back to this restaurant again!

We enjoyed every item we ordered at Cafe Lily, from our glasses of wine to out grilled Tuscan bread to start. Harrison, our server, gave us good advice and was very attentive. We shared the non-breaded calamari as our appetizer. We ordered from the weekly special menu for our entrees: petrale sole wild caught from Oregon for me and lamb neck Pappardelle for my husband. The portions were generous, so we took half of our entrees home for another meal. We were disappointed they were out of bread pudding, so we shared the cheesecake for dessert. It was very cozy inside the restaurant while it we rainy outside, and it made for a special evening.

I ordered their signature dish including potatoes, green beans, and grilled lamb. The plate was stacked... potatoes, green beans, then meat. There were only 4 beans and the starch/beans cooled while waiting for the lamb.

Ordered an item that should have been vegetarian, but they changed the recipe without changing the menu then you have to wait for a replacement while everyone else finished eating and the replacement is almost inedible.

Café Lilly offers a warm friendly atmosphere for ladies who like to lunch relax enjoy conversation while also enjoying a good meal at a reasonable price without the noise and unnecessary stress of a large crowd....it can also be a great place for an intimate dinner experience between a couple ...the menu caters to a good sampling of Mediterranean cuisine as well as e nice variety of wines coffee's and desserts.

The customer experience is prioritized at every level, food, service, and atmosphere. You can hear the people at your table, bonus! Cafe Lily is a Decatur classic where we, and our friends, have been repeat customers over the years. We'll be back.

We had the MOST outstanding service. I wish I could remember our waiter's name. He went over and above to make sure we knew all the specials and how to order enough but not too much food since we were off to an event. All four of us were quite happy with our meal, although two people said the crab cake was not quite what they had hoped. My meal of goat cheese ravioli was spectacular and we all enjoyed the grilled bread. No time for drinks or dessert on this visit but the meals were wonderful!

Had our rehearsal dinner last night at Cafe Lily in the Peacock Room and it was fantastic! Food was excellent and all the wait staff, particularly our main servers, Erin and Christian, were friendly and professional. The manager, Katie, was a pleasure to work with in getting everything set up and made sure the night ran smoothly. Highly recommend for a small party!
Mary
Food was wonderful, flavorful, and arrived well presented and timely. Waitress was knowledgeable about the menu options and, when asked, made some suggestions that were perfect.

I took my parents here for brunch. They loved it. They like the true to spirit “cafe” vibe and to be honest, for the elderly, handicap spots right in front makes it even better. Of course, the food is good!
We are so appreciative of the staff at Cafe Lily. They helped make our rehearsal dinner a special event. The food was excellent.

Cafe Lily is consistently excellent in all respects: food, ambiance and great staff attitude. It's our go-to place for our evenings out in Decatur.

I had a delicious dinner featuring crabcakes and butternut squash ravioli. The service was excellent. I wish I lived in Atlanta so I could come here often!
