This was my first time visiting 14 Parish, and it definitely won’t be my last! The atmosphere was inviting and the service was excellent. I tried the Hyde Parker and the Fully Loaded Fried Rice, and both were packed with flavor and prepared perfectly. The staff made the experience even better with their attentiveness. For anyone looking for great food and a welcoming vibe, I highly recommend checking out 14 Parish.

Came here for a late night dinner and it was pretty empty so the service was nice! The bartender was so kind and funny! The Mango Walk was strong! And the Mac & cheese, I am definitely coming back for that. The plantain was freshly made but I isn’t taste the sweetness. I do want to return and try the salmon dish! Definitely give it a try.

Great food! Great service. This is a franchise. If you have food allergies the restaurant does not have an allergy list or food ingredients list to reference. However, the staff does make an above and beyond level of effort to locate all ingredients and cook to your requested specifications. All in all very nice place willing to accommodate with late delicious hearty food options.

This small eatery in Hyde Park is everything! Great ambience, music and food. The wait was about 30 minutes but so worth it. Mermaid Bathwater was the opening drink - I would describe it as a blue sweet tart with a boozy kick. Once ordered the food came out hot and fresh. It was absolutely delicious!

We had a great experience at 14 Parish Restaurant and Rhumbar. The Big Ox Eggroll was the highlight of the meal—flavorful filling with a delicious jerk sauce that tied it all together. I ordered the Jibaritos, which had nicely seasoned chicken, but it was a little dry and could have used some sauce for balance. My partner tried the Jerk Catfish, which had excellent flavor but was a bit too bony. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside, the music added a great vibe, and the service was excellent from start to finish. With a few small adjustments to the dishes, this place could be outstanding. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere, flavors, and warm hospitality.

I honestly liked the options that were provided my drink. The parish punch I believe was strong and delightful. I ordered a bunch of appetizers, which were great. The egg rolls were more cabbage base than I would have liked, but they were still good. My boyfriend had the pasta in which he said was great his drink. The Long Island was in as strong, and it cost the most which was weird. He didn’t like how loud it was in the restaurant. It was slightly loud that we couldn’t hear our conversation, but it was good music being played. Otherwise I would recommend to a friend I would go again, but I will go during happy hour or a non-weekend day.

The food was pretty good overall! Service was notably slow. The sorrel was delicious. The jerk wings cleared. I tried both the honey jerk and mango habanero. 10/10 on both. The Jamaican patty was mid. It tasted like the frozen microwaveable patties I would eat as a kid and I was expecting a little bit more. The oxtail Mac n cheese egg rolls were diabolically goods. 50/10. Those were my favorite part of the whole meal. The smoked chicken I did not try but it looked likely big portion that neither of my friends were able to finish, definitely worth the price. We were told that the fries were out of this world but they tasted like regular French fries. At the price point, I’d definitely go back but probably for happy hour instead of a full dinner. The staff were extremely friendly.
