  To preface this review, I am myself of Jamaican and Trinidadian heritage and Miss Lily's was unfortunately an authentically inauthentic experience. Between the ox tail stew which was lacking in flavor and the poor service at this location, I would say to pass it up for anything that requires a restaurant that will impress on any front. My server Jamal was inattentive, cold, and unaccommodating as was the rest of the service crew excluding the hostess for which we can of course have an a modicum of expectations dictating that they at the very least exercise proper customer service skills. While Miss Lily's will be okay for casual dining and an introduction to Jamaican cuisine, my experience was so disappointing that it left me clamoring to write a review to warn others of the excessive 'hype' surrounding this location.
  
  Side note - AVOID THE SORREL. We received what seemed to be a 12 oz. glass container of the drink with ice filled from bottom to top and a tasteless draw of hibiscus with just the slightest hint of ginger and sweetener all coming in for a whopping price of $6! Between the ice and the size of glass, there could not been more than 8 oz. of watered down sorrel.
  
  I plea to the management team to restructure the business operation and actually start to value their customers and pay proper respects to the Jamaican culture and cuisine. Poor customer service and hubris in this fact is nothing to be proud of.
