We have had lunch at this place a couple times but never dinner. Because my wife was traveling the next day I decided to take her out so she would not have to cook. We decided to give Cafe Lily a try and we were not disappointed. Cafe Lily is a French restaurant and of medium size. It has a... More

Whenever we are in the Atlanta area we go to Cafe Lily. The staff is irreplaceable, the food is consistently delicious, the nightly specials are creative and seasonal. The wine list accomodates the novice to the wine snob. Unable to find fault with this keeper.

While downtown Decatur has a plethora of restaurants from which to choose, my family (including sons 18 and 12) especially enjoys Cafe Lily because it offers excellent seafood and a wider range of continental choices than many of the restaurants here--and offers them better than the other restaurants that also serve up continental fare. The atmosphere is quiet and slightly... More

We don't save this one only for special occasions, but go when we want to enhance the romance in our lives and have a few extra bucks. Everything on the menu sounds great and tastes as promised. I spent months looking for butternut squash ravioli (a winter favorite) and finally found it here. It was worth the wait!

The location is excellent with plenty of free parking behind the building (a precious commodity in soe parts of Decatur). It was early afternoon so it was not particularly crowded. Service was kind fo slow with what seemed like long times without our server being... More

Been several times for "special" occasions. The food was excellent and the atmosphere wonderful. Great place to go for a taste of the Med and relaxing experience.

Cafe Lily in Decatur GA is a good Mediyerannean style cafe. The foods from around the med on the menu are very good. At out table, we had hummus, seafood, crabcakes. chicken parm, and my lamburger. Everyone loved their dish. It was boisterous like a cafe in the Med. It was packed, always a good sign, and the crowd was... More

They serve tapas and other dishes which are well served and tasty. Service is friendly. Ambience is reasonably calm and pleasant. Good for a leisurely meal.

Cafe Lily has been a lovely dining establishment in Decatur, GA for several years now. We used to look forward to going there on special occasions. Now though, we drop in as often as we can. They offer a fabulous lunch special with half orders of some of their most delicious menu items like the tomato soup and the jerk... More

I've been here several times, and enjoyed the experience every time. This is a perfect place for lunch: great food and reasonable prices, plus relaxing ambience. My colleagues and I can walk here, which is a plus. Recently, I drove and the parking was a problem. I had to park at a meter, and of course, I got a parking... More
