GLENVILLE — Lily's Cafe, the new name of the diner building that for 28 years until the end of August was Oliver's Cafe, is being developed to open in mid- to late October with largely the same menu.
The owner, Scott McGlauflin, who is opening Lily's Cafe with his wife, Elizabeth, tells me he is sprucing up the interior and will add some menu items but will keep most of the fare as it was for nearly three decades under Claudia and Warren Bush.
"They were here for 28 years and successful for 28 years, so why mess with it?" says McGlauflin. "It was a staple in this town." Judging by the online reception to news of the reopening, Lily's is welcome and will be busy: In less the a day, McGlauflin's announcement on the Scotia-Glenville Current Events page on Facebook drew more than 1,000 positive reactions, more than 180 congratulatory comments and was shared 165 times.
The diner is located at 181 Freemans Bridge Road, near its terminus at Route 50, by the Schenectady County Airport. The name comes from the McGlauflin family's dog, a puggle named Lily, rather than risking an argument by choosing one of the McGlauflin children's names, McGlauflin tells me.
A veteran of nearly four decades in the restaurant and catering business and Glenville resident since 2004, McGlauflin is a partner in the catering company Four Cooks & a Chef and oversees banquets at the Guan Ho Ha Fish and Game Club in Glenville.
Lily's Cafe will keep the same hours as Oliver's: 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.
