I had the best time here! We did have to wait 40 min with a reservation but it was well worth the wait. The food was so good I ordered the catfish with Macaroni and cheese and greens and also the chicken and waffles and the wild berry lemon drop! The kitchen and the kocktails were on point. The staff and manager were so nice one of the main reasons I had to leave a review. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Food was excellent. I had the pork chop and it was amongst the best I’ve tasted. We had a party of 7 and they all had a variety of things and they were all happy. Bread basket is not to be missed.

The Park at 14th was a great experience! The vibes were so lively, the music was a 10/10 played all the good hits (hip hop, rap, rnb, Caribbean). The food was really good, and worth the price, the mimosas were more champagne then juice/flavor so if ordering different flavors you wont really be able to tell the difference! the service was good, our waitress was nice, attentive and gave us complimentary shots. The music and energy is definitely loud, so if thats not ur vibe then it may not be the place for you, but you will have a good time! they make sure of that of course being that the food and mimosas are unlimited!
