Cafe Lily
Mediterranean · Decatur, GA
About
In Decatur near Ponce de Leon Pl, Cafe Lily brings Pan-Mediterranean flavors to a romantic, after-work spot. The extensive menu accommodates paleo, gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free diets. Drink options are a highlight: the wine list impresses, with a particularly vast selection of zinfandels. Prices run expensive, but regulars say the ingredients and presentation justify it.
The staff can be a bit rough around the edges with service timing, so patience helps. Go on a weekday for a quieter date night. If you want Southern comfort food before or after, Mary Mac's Tea Room is a short drive away.

“Italian Comfort With Great Ingredients”
We hadn't been to Cafe Lily for a while, not intentionally, but we finally brought friends last week. I was annoyed with myself for not going back sooner. The food was excellent, as a certain TV host would say. The service lacks polish in some areas, which kept it from a perfect rating; there were too many moments where we needed something and had to wait. But everyone at our table was very impressed with the ingredients, presentation, and flavors. It was a wonderful evening with amazing food.
