    Our server was not very present. Sat for a while with steaks in front of us but without knives. Took a long time for drinks to come. Wanted to ask menu questions but she wasn’t visible. But the Xmas decorations were fantastic! Really enjoyed the festive ambiance. One of the better decorated restaurants for Xmas I’ve seen!

    We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Lily! Loved the pasta and my companion loved her Caesar salad with jerk chicken. We splurged on the sorbet, which was also excellent.

    Our group enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening - we have a diverse group of tastes and Le Colonial provided something for everyone! The starters are the perfect size to share and we decided to order an assortment of large plates. Everything from the menu is tasty and fantastic! Drinks and service were ready and well paced. Thank you for a fun night!
