We sat at the bar for Thanksgiving and the service was friendly, quick and efficient. The main course (plant-based veggie loaf for we vegetarians) was fantastic as were the sides. Highly recommend.

Wonderful cuisine - not the old Tabard Inn restaurant! Always innovative cuisine and beautifully served. Highly professional servers. A pleasure to be in the setting too, especially the covered patio.

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!

One of the best meals of my life. Service, vibe, food, cocktail were all impeccable but in a completely not pretentious way. Every bite on the tasting menu was complex and flavorful, that left you considering and thinking after each bite. It was simply SO GOOD.
