    This place never disappoints us. I asked for a table in a quiet spot and got it. It’s very loud in here due to the crowd, but we were able to have a great conversation and an amazing time. Our server was amazing helped us order enough food for the 6 of us and we didn’t have any leftovers. But we were all Satisfied. Highly recommend their Iberian old fashion, it was delicious. And this is why this place is always packed!

    We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Lily! Loved the pasta and my companion loved her Caesar salad with jerk chicken. We splurged on the sorbet, which was also excellent.

    Very lively place especially on a Monday night. The service was amazing it was our first experience there and the waiter made sure to be patient and answer any questions we had. I would say be sure to have a reservation tables were always full. The food and drinks were amazing I got a dirty vodka martini which was very good. Me and my husband shared pasta and pizza and it was the perfect amount of food for us. Would most definitely be back!
