Always try the specials, they are amazing. I had the Mahi Mahi with couscous and it was so delicious. I forgot to take a pic of the plate but I did take a pic of my Cranberry French 75.

We celebrated a birthday with a dinner at Cafe Lily. Bread and lettuce salad were excellent. Our entrees- pinchitos and gamberi alla Rosa (shrimp and pasta) both were excellent. Service was attentive, friendly, and prompt. The dining area is a bit small, and we were seated near the front door, despite having made our reservation a month ago. The house treated us with a complementary birthday dessert- lemon sponge custard with whipped cream and raspberry sauce. We will definitely be back.

Petite Violette was perfect. We were looking forward to a special dinner with our adult daughters and we enjoyed ourselves. The service was attentive, the wine and cocktails were perfect and our dinners were delicious. We ordered four different entrees and all were cooked perfectly. The added bonus was live music that wasn’t too loud for dinner conversation. I highly recommend dining here!

Charles was excellent. The food and drinks came out at an appropriate speed and everything was delicious. The music and lighting were at comfortable levels (I loath loud music while dining). Booths were a bit tricky to get in and out of, but were nice and comfortable once seated.
