The Scene
The main room in this cozy, low-lit Mediterranean bistro is mostly non-descript, with a bar on one side, a kitchen you can peek into, and tables sufficiently spaced from one another to lend a sense of privacy. Flickering candlelight softens the bare floors and dropped, paneled ceiling. Service is sincere and attentive.
The Food
Cafe Lily creatively combines the diverse cuisines of the Mediterranean on a menu that emphasizes rustic flavors. Rum-cured salmon served with caviar, egg, capers and crostini is an inventive starter, as is warm, chargrilled bread dipped in seasoned olive oil. Pinchitos, a Spanish-influenced dish featuring delicious lamb tenderloin spiked with jalapeno peppers and spices, is served with buttery white sweet potatoes and green beans. Also excellent is Omithenia souvlakia, a moist chicken breast marinated in wine vinegar and Greek herbs and plated with pan-roasted potatoes. Satisfying lemon sponge custard, served warm, rounds out the meal.
