- MMalikPhiladelphia County •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWhat can I say, this place on Sunday was extremely energetic. I suppose it was the Omegas founders day, but still I loved the atmosphere and the music selection. The food was a 10/10 especially the jerk chicken, fall off the bone good literally the salmon was excellent, but had a lot of seasoning. I can definitely see myself coming back with either a small party or a large one. Our waiter,Josh, was amazing and took care of us throughout our brunch session.More infoThe Park at 14thPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
