Ok ...Updating my review ...I've looked over some of the other reviews and even my last review (3 Stars).I think part of the problem with a restaurant on the upper scale of pricing, if everything isn't absolutely perfect your getting slammed with a bad review.So, let's forget about the price for a moment.The food and service on this trip were exceptional!The food was only out-shined by the service from Joyce.For the appetizer we had Chicken Quesadillas (maybe the best I ever tasted).Also, had Lobster Bisque soup (good)We had the Lobster Ravioli which was excellent with plenty of flavor and LOTS of seafood!We had the Porkchop(Cajun style) good and spicy. We had the Crabcakes, they were really good with a nice sauce.We tried (2)two deserts both were "Knock-your-socks off" good.Cala-Lily (traditional)Cala-Lily ( some type of Peanut butter)Ok ...Again, having VERY HIGH prices is like working with the bomb squad...One mistake and you get blown-up.Well... no mistakes on this trip!Keep up the good work guys!

Got pricier--guess everywhere has. Check time limits on your reservation so you do not have any surprises.

4.5 stars overall. Cala Lily Restaurant and Bar serves foods such as soups, salads, salmon, pork chop, and filet mignon. Compared to a regular dinner menu, an "early dinner" menu offers a slightly smaller selection of foods for slightly smaller serving sizes and prices. Please see my attached photos for the food and alcohol menus in April 2024.I made a reservation for my husband and me for the opening time. A seating hostess immediately said hello and seated us at a small table. Soon our waitress Amanda introduced herself. Throughout our meal, her service was timely and courteous. Here are my husband's and my reviews for our foods:Bread - 5 stars - These bread rolls were fresh and warm and had a crispy outside and moist inside.Lobster ravioli - 4.5 stars - This appetizer consisted of two large raviolis that were filled with lobster meat and topped with a flavorful sauce and nuts.Calamari rings - 4 stars - These calamari rings were fried and looked as large as onion rings. On the side was a tasty cocktail sauce.Maryland-style crab patties - 4.5 stars - This entree consisted of two large crab cakes that were meaty and on top of much sauce. On the side were fresh green beans, carrots, and scalloped potatoes that tasted very good.Maine lobster and crab bisque - 5 stars - I really enjoyed this cup of soup.Chicken-noodle soup - 4 stars - My husband ate half of this cup of soup, and he said that it tasted good but typical.Cajun gulf shrimp and filet mignon tips - 4.5 stars - Perfectly cooked linguini was topped with shrimp and filet mignon tips. My husband ate this entree, and he said that he enjoyed all of it except for the peppers. On the side were green beans and carrots.Tips: As of the time of my review, this restaurant is open only for dinner. The space is somewhat small, so the restaurant recommends reservations. The dress code appears to be casual. I wore a blouse with jeans and ballet flats.

We had eaten at Cala Lily before, but it had been many years. We were celebrating so i made a reservation there to surprise my wife. Being a Saturday night it was pretty busy. It was a little louder than i had expected, not sure why people think they need to yell when conversing with their table mates. The food there is very good. Some reviews say it's overpriced but i do not agree. Their "early" menu is full of great choices and the portions were large enough that we both took food home with us. Wife had the lobster ravioli and i had the cajun pork chop which had a nice kick to it. Done perfectly, lean and delicious. Overall a great meal. The only thing we didn't like was the sugar free chocolate cake. We took a piece home and it was not good. I would avoid it if you go. It was so bad we didn't even finish the piece we brought home to share. Other than that it is a solid choice and the service was steller!

Fantastic restaurant! Creative menu with amazing specials. Ask for the Virgil crab cake. It is not on the menu. If you like crab cakes, this will be the best you ever had! The blue cheese cheesecake appetizer was phenomenal. Worth the drive just for that. Lots of creative cocktails. Desserts are unique and worth every calorie! A hidden gem in Pittsburgh!

Such a great place! This cozy spot is a great place to go for fabulous food. Tables are situated around the bar in the restaurant. The service was good and there were several specials available. Three of us chose to select regular menu items and one went with a special. The lobster ravioli was served with perfectly prepared seafood and topped with pine nuts. It was flavorful and definitely did not disappoint. The chicken piccata was done perfectly and the sauce was spot on. The Cajun pork chop was flavorful and the banana peppers were the perfect complement. The Jack Daniels pork chop was the only thing we likely wouldn't reorder - truly because there are so many great menu options. The wine list provided a few nice options without breaking the bank. The real star here is the food. Definitely delicious!

Had dinner here last night for my bookclub. It was the first time all (9) of us had been there. Everything was set up for us when we arrived- which is impressive with it being a smaller establishment. The waitress was so kind & took the time to explain everything & answer all our questions. Also made sure to check if anyone was gluten free. Most of the girls got fish- and everyone enjoyed their meals to say the least. I had the chicken piccata, and it was just as good for breakfast as it was last night. Bread was fresh, everything was top notch. Will be back for sure. Also the carrots were a side, and they were the best carrots I've ever had.

What a wonderful dinner! Everything we ordered was perfect, and I don't use that description often. Salads, entrees (crab cakes for him, cod for me), sides, and a slice of birthday cake were perfectly prepared. Our server Amanda was attentive and friendly. We have been disappointed with many restaurants since the end of Covid, but Cala Lily has not let up on its quality - or service.We highly recommend. BTW, we ordered from the "early" menu.
