I love the whole vibe of this spot. The drinks, food and music was on point. I actually found this restaurant on tik tok. I recommend going here and I really return on my next vacation from here on out. The wings were very delicious you have to try those, I recommend them. Customer service was excellent, the best I’ve had in a long time.
It was by chance I stumbled into this little gem. (I took a wrong turn/route). I'm a believer things happen for a reason. It was like they had almost all of my favorite foods on 1 menu. Seafood, smoked wings, and soul food sides. I was so full, I didn't leave room for dessert (I was going to get the peach cobbler).I normally try to get pics of the menu and food, but I forgot to get 1 of the menu. Meals average $20-$30
I and a friend visit after looking up black own business and to say we were surprised and very enraptured in the establishment. We enjoyed the service by the owner and got there at the tail end of happy hour with singing. I recommend this restaurant ?
Very nice spot. Found this spot by searching black owned restaurants.The food was great! The owner was our waitress. She was very pleasant, respectful, and knowledgeable about the dishes.I will be back.Parking: I didn't notice street parking sonot sure if it were available. The parking on the side of the restaurant is small but plenty.
Loved everything about this place from the time we walked in for reservations at 7:45. We were seated by a beautiful host at the door. She put us in a nice sitting booth not too far from entrance but it was perfect. Our waiter was very respectful, pleasant, and over the top on making surr we enjoyed our meal and time at the restaurant. I ordered parmesean wings, mac,collard,yams but i was full after eating the mac and collards which i love so much. True soulfood restaurant in Miami. My son loved the yams he ordered double with the delicious fried salmon the waiter highly recommended. I love supporting Black owned businesses with great service and Lil greenhouse has the best food and customer service i have ever experienced visiting Miami. I will be back hopefully soon.

I had the pleasure of enjoying the Conch Fritters, Shrimp & Grits, and The Grapefruit Mimosa. The flavors in everything I tasted were very well balanced. The large shrimp in my entrée were succulent and paired well with the grits that were the perfect viscosity, not too runny & not too thick.???? I really liked the watermelon chutney that accompanied the Conch Fritters, which were piping hot when they reached our table. My dining host had the grilled chicken sandwich, and it is a hearty portion that is beautifully grilled and seasoned. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Nicole, who was so warm & sweet. She has done a great job of having her staff extend the same warmth & southern hospitality. The space is cozy and the decor highlights many of the great musicians and artists known to frequent Overtown, aka The Harlem of the South. Be sure to pop in and tell them Drissy sent you. ? ? ?
All I can say is, whoa.The conch fritters were so good, I forgot to take pics. The seafood cakes were delightful and perfectly cooked. We had the yams and mashed potatoes as our sides - oh my goodness.This definitely feels like a family-run establishment, and you can taste the care put into every dish. Service was fantastic.While the conch fritters were truly the star of the show, everything was amazing!
I AM TRULY SADDENED!I used to come here all the time for their amazing weekend brunch! The food was always amazing, and the service was on point.I recently called because I couldn’t remember what their brunch hours were and was informed that they no longer did brunch. Okay, so let’s go look at the menu and boy, was I in for a huge shock!I guess after Mr. Chimetime left them a review it went to their heads. The menu prices are insane and from the recent reviews I’ve been reading, the food is no longer up to par with what they use to be.It is a huge shame because I really looked forward to going back to this place but when will establishments learn that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”IN RESPONSE TO THE RESPONSE LEFT FOR ME: I guess you didn't bother to read the entire review! What about doing away with the brunch? And what about your food no longer being up to par after the price increase? Those are the thing that mostly warrant the 1 star!
The food was amazing and the vibes were even better! We went on a Friday night and it was just a great experience.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accommodating, my daughter was in a wheelchair and we fit fine.
The owner makes you feel like family and as a vacation visitor, I only dine a few times a year and it’s always the same staff! Food is fabulous! And I even love the music that’s played. A MUST for anyone passing through Miami.
This is a hidden gem. The food was amazing. Great portions. It is small but it doesn't lack in anything!!! The service is excellent.

Listen, the stuffed salmon that they have here must've come from one of those 2 fish that Jesus touched and fed the crowd because Bae Bae, after this meal I am blessed and satisfied and that cornbread taste like somebody Big Mama made it with so much love! I will be back again and again and Again !

When we come to Miami for a concert we look for smaller local restaurants. Lil Greenhouse Cafe is a wonderful place to stop. The food was delicious. The sauces like the dreamfire on the shrimp were tasty.
