Our dinner was quite enjoyable as we were meeting with ministers who were visiting from out of town. The atmosphere was enjoyable as we were able to speak without shouting above the noise. Also, the server Luna, was excellent. She was friendly, attentive and professional. Our visiting guests were very impressed with the venue. Most of all, the food was delicious!

Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.

Cafe Lily provides reliably excellent food and service. It is one of the most underrated restaurants in my point of view, and we have been coming here for close to two decades. It has an intimate atmosphere and is a model of a wonderful restaurant for two or groups.
