Best WLM Reviews
Everything on the menu is amazing! Needless to say, it was my first time eating there, and with the dishes my girlfriend and I ordered, I'm sure everything else is spectacular. They don't miss and everything is made with love. Chef's kiss!

Great food & service. It was our first time & certainly will not be the last one.
Our waitress Christina explained to us about the menu items. She was very pleasant.
We had Nana’s Marinated Eggplant for appetizer. Loved it. My wife had Seafood Pasta a la Cream & I had Pinchitos. Great food & flavor. Very tender & juicy lamb meat.
Very friendly staff & atmosphere!
It's been at least 10 years since I've been to Café Lily...shame on me. I don't remember having a better meal anywhere in downtown Decatur. The risotto was cooked perfectly, infused with perfectly seared scallop essence. The calamari presentation was wonderful, continuing to cook on a sear plate at the table. Tuna was a perfect medium/medium rare, and the crab cake, while a bit small, was one of the best I've ever had.
I’ve always enjoyed their classy dining experience. You feel so well taken care of and all the meals I’ve eaten have been made with care. My favorite is their lunches but they are also a wonderful spot for date night! Forgot to take a picture of the salmon and mashed potatoes that slapped!! It’s also nice they do half and full portions.
Beautiful relaxed place to enjoy lunches and dinners. We went on Wednesday night for dinner and Sarah, our server was amazing. Our table was wobbly and the moment she noticed it, she fixed it right away. The best gesture of hospitality which I never got at any other place for same situation. Sarah informed us about the daily special options however we chose other items from menu. Their cold maze platter was delicious with all types of appetizers in it. We also tried Gamberi Alla Rossa which was full of flavors and yummy. Their bread and olive oil sauce was great too. But what I like the most was their non alcoholic drink named Orange Cardamon. Although I’m wine person but I just loved this drink and ordered repeat for it. I’ll definitely be going back to try more dishes and drinks.
Both the food and the staff were great. I guess I'll start with the staff.
Our waitress Brielle was simply awesome. Extremely friendly, gave us some great recommendations and took very good care of us. I would even suggest asking to be seated in her section if she's working.
We also met Katie, one of the owners. She has a such a positive vibe and made sure we had an awesome experience. Don't be shy about asking to speak to her, she's very friendly and approachable.
Teresa behind the bar was also very friendly and gave us excellent service.
As for the food, everything we ordered was great. My wife had the salmon and I ordered Pinchitos, their signature dish, which is lamb tenderlion. It was absolutely delicious and incredibly tender.
And don't skip the bread. I could have eaten the bread alone and been happy lol. Simply amazing.
The atmosphere was nice. We went on a Saturday night, and the place was full, but not packed. You could enjoy a conversation without having to shout.
I suggest you make a reservation. We didn't, but they said they could seat us in an hour, so we decided to wait at the bar. 30 mins had barely gone by before they seated us. Btw, the drinks we ordered were good, they were not stingy with the liqour at all lol.
We will definitely go back.
I ordered the only vegan selection on the brunch menu. The waitress did not tell me that she brought real scrambled eggs. When I questioned, she took the dish back to the kitchen and returned saying they no longer offer the vegan eggs, even though they are on the menu. This could have been dangerous for someone allergic to eggs. At the end of the meal I was denied a discount by the waitress and the manager for the missing vegan eggs. I was offered no other compensation. My granddaughter’s French toast was so burned she couldn’t cut it with a knife. Water for hot tea and biscuits arrived barely warm while the butter was hard and cold. The fruit was unripe. We won’t be returning.
I highly recommend! Hubby and I went on a date very nice atmosphere. From the time we walked in until we left the service was top notch. The hostess friendly we had an hour wait which was fine we sat at the bar ordered drinks. Was served by Teresa extremely friendly my husband speaks Spanish so they had a great conversation! Our drinks were tasty a little strong lol... our table was ready in 30 minutes the hostess came over and directed us to our table. Then our waitress Brielle was so a joy extremely friendly offered great suggestions and made the experience so enjoyable. Our food delicious... we ordered the falafel and calamari for apps... oh my goodness the bread another level I have to call and find out about the bakery... our entrees he ordered the lamb chops I ordered the salmon of course we could not finish had to box so we could have dessert. The tiramisu delectable the slice was huge we couldn't split. Also during our dinner we met one of the owners Katie she is such a delight... full of energy and such a pleasure to talk to... she offered us an apple Brandy from Du Nord black owned distillery. Very flavorful... needless to say we will be going back for brunch by the end of the month... a must go to in Decatur!
