The Michelin Guide's review
Authentic Jamaican flavors and thumping reggae go hand-in-hand amid Miss Lily’s brightly colored booths and banquettes, retro artifacts and Formica-topped tables. A well-stocked bar and bins filled with produce set the mood for enjoyable classics brought to you at the hands of glam servers.Start with a classic Jamaican oxtail stew with tender, unctuous meat, beans, and carrots in a rich and savory gravy and chase it with a Pure Passion Margarita with jerk salt. Melvin’s “body good” salad tosses kale, radish, celery and apples in a citrus-ginger vinaigrette for a crisp bite. For the Jamaican specialties—think curried goat, jerk chicken, and callaloo—to a boozy rum cake, this Caribbean queen reigns supreme.
