Kathy Cary is known and admired both regionally and nationally. The Louisville Dining Guide summed up Lilly's as "the most influential and celebrated Louisville restaurant of the past decade," adding that it "continues its eclectic, seasonally changing, local-produce-loving ways."

She won rave reviews for her debut at New York's James Beard House in 1993 and has received multiple nominations for Best Chef Southeast by the Beard Foundation. A New York Times writer concluded, after a culinary visit to Louisville, "My eating expedition could actually have begun and ended happily in a sleek restaurant called Lilly's."
