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! More

I’m not sure if it’s because of what we got but the food was very mid. For the salmon and shrimp “Rasta pasta”, the sauce itself was pretty runny so it didn’t stick to the noodles well for that nice rich flavor that you’re looking for when … More

Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu items. The atmosphere was giving Jamaican Island Bar vibes, very chill and decorated appropriately. I loved all the knick knacks on the shelves. The food was good and seasoned well. The desserts were also very tasty and fresh tasting. The real mvp was the bartender, the drinks were on point and had me feeling ohhh so lovely throughout the night. Everything was also reasonably priced, we (my husband and I) got alot of food and drinks for $115. Would definitely visit again!!!

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.

Good Afternoon, I visited 14 Parish on Sunday afternoon 12/22/25. It was so amazing from the greeter which was Shemeal to the bar which was Jasmine.
14 Parish is definitely a Gorgeous vibe. The food was outstanding which is an amazing thing to the cocktails I had. I will definitely be back soon. I had the Rasta Pasta w/garlic bread and two Parish Punches.
I received a small holiday gift. Thank y’all so much for an amazing time.
See y’all for happy hour❤️

This is a small space, they are definitely using every inch. That being said everything was done in a timely fashion. Our server Nina was great. I had the beef patty as a starter. It was good & flaky. I chose the platter as an entree. I enjoyed it all. The shrimp had a smoky flavor. The wings were good without the sauce. The jerk sauce is delish. Personally wasn't a fan of the jerk honey sauce nor the rice & peas. Callalou(greens) were flavorful. All reheated well too. (Leftovers) 1 in my party had oxtail. She loved them. I also tasted her chicken fried rice. I didn't like it. I would try them again. It's best to make a reservation.

I always enjoy my experience at 14 Parish. I ordered the Spiced Fizz mocktail, the loaded fried rice with chicken and shrimp, and the toffee cake. Everything was so flavorful and tasty! Serenity was my waiter, and her ability to memorize an order without writing it down, even for large groups, amazes me. She has great customer service and I can tell she's a hard worker! Highly recommend for a cozy atmosphere, good vibes and music, and great tasting food!

Upon arrival one of the other associate restaurants. We were stop by the owner and told that the A.M Dawn Eatery was full and not taking any more reservations. He recommended 14 Parish. Upon arrival there the owner had our table ready. Explained the restaurant was Carribean style food. We had relatives from Arkansas with us found out the owner was from Arkansas as well. Great food service was good and the atmosphere was great.

I celebrated my birthday here yesterday (1-18) and had an absolutely incredible experience. From start to finish, the food and drinks were exceptional.
But what truly made the night unforgettable was our waitress, Taylor. She was warm, patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. The kind of service that reminds you why hospitality matters.
I wanted to capture a birthday TikTok moment with the cupcake they brought out, lighting the candle and blowing it out. Between the candle going out and the timing, my group couldn’t quite get the video, so we decided to let it go.
Taylor, however, refused to let the moment be missed. She went above and beyond bringing me another cupcake and candle and even helping with the “production” by lighting it herself so I could have my moment.
That level of care doesn’t go unnoticed. It was thoughtful, intentional, and deeply appreciated.
I will absolutely be returning every time I come back home. This place didn’t just serve great food, they delivered an experience.
