Cafe Lily

A couple of years ago, Justin and I were wandering around Decatur one Sunday evening before I left for South Georgia. We were trying to decide what to eat for supper when we came across Cafe Lily. The outside didn't appear to be anything incredibly fancy so we walked inside. I should mention that we looked like crap. I can't remember if we had bathed earlier that day (I know, we're gross and disgusting) but I was definitely not wearing make-up and I seriously doubt my hair was styled. Anyway, we walked inside and looked at a menu. We quickly decided we needed to come back when we didn't look so bad.

Friday evening was the day we didn't look so bad. After raking the yard, we showered and headed to Decatur for supper.

Justin made a reservation, but we arrived about fifteen minutes early and were immediately seated. I started the meal with a yummy cosmopolitan and Justin had a glass of wine. We also shared a bowl of fonduta piemontese. The fondue was very yummy.

Justin had a marinated pork special for his entree. I tried it and it was ok, but not something that I would order. I think he enjoyed it, but not as much as the man at the table beside us. When our server was telling us about the specials for the evening, this man turned around and raved about how wonderful the pork was. I had the half order of seafood vol-au-vent. It was fantastic! So rich and creamy. We were full after our entrees so we skipped dessert, but I'll definitely save room next time because the desserts all sounded very tasty.

I really want to go back because I saw several things on the menu that I cannot wait to try (risotto con cappesante e asparago and pescado relleno). The service was great and the atmosphere was good, too. The kitchen seemed to have their act together because as we finished one course, the next was out within a couple of minutes.
