| - If you haven't had a chance to check out Cala Lily Cafe, you are seriously missing out. Chef Rivera is a wizard in the kitchen, and by wizard, I mean the Dumbledore in cuisine, ha.
Although everything at Cala Lily is obscenely delicious, I'll recommend a few of my favorite dishes for you guys. To start, the Maine lobster and crab bisque is heavenly - rich, creamy deliciousness for real. The stuffed hot banana peppers are also a treat. OH, and you're served house-made rolls. I'm crazy about carbs, so this was a real treat for me. I'm always down for freshly baked bread. I probably ate three of these when I went my first time, ha.
Anywho, for entrees, I highly recommend - my personal favorite - the pumpin tortellini with jumbo crab. Chef Riversa tosses the pasta in a rich, creamy alfredo sauce with leeks and roasted tomatoes. This dish is SO well balanced, and the pumpkin filling is to die for. It's seriously the perfect combination of savory and sweet. Another favorite would be the filet mignon diane. The steak is always perfectly cooked, and I guarantee the meat will melt in your mouth.
Cala Lily offers a nice assortment of desserts. I have a favorite, but I totally forget the name of the dish (Cala Lily Rose?). Oh well. I'll just have to describe it to you guys. It's chocolate covered ice cream served with fresh rasberries in Chambord. Yeah. It tastes just as ridiculous as it sounds. Check it out STAT.
Oh, and on top of it all, the waitstaff here is amazing. 5 Stars in every way, hands down! Cala Lily is a true gem.
