Family went for brunch. The host was nice enough but made a comment that we were early for our reservation. We arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation and there was only one couple in the establishment. Literally empty tables everywhere, could've shown more appreciation for patrons. It was our first time there. The server Honey was really nice. There were items unavailable to an already very limited menu. The food was not fresh at all. The syrup pots had been sitting so long that at thick film hardened over it. The hash brown cakes looked like hockey pucks. The jerk chicken was dry. The waffles were definitely not fresh. Tasted like they were kept in a warmer for hours. The mimosas were watered down and warm. The gnats were quite an annoyance. I had to share butter with someone in my party because as traffic picked up it was hard to get to Honey. She seemed to be the only server on staff. Just not worth the price tag. I saw the great reviews but 14 Parich fell flat. We won't be returning unfortunately.

It was my second time at this restaurant and it certainly did not disappoint. I was here for breakfast this time with a girlfriend and the service and food was superb! Our server, honey, met all of our needs and the jerk chicken and waffle was AMAZING! Portion size was plenty and I even had enough for the next day. Looking forward to my next visit.

They were out of what I ordered. How are you a full service restaurant and you’re out of something at 5pm. Everything the waiter recommended was horrible. The waiter had an attitude and took a super long time to bring me a bottled soda when I asked could I exchange the drink he recommended because I didn’t like it.

I was really not happy with the food, well my mom order the fish that was really good. But me and my brother order the jerk chicken and it really was not good at all. That jerk flavor was not there. Maybe check to see if it’s speck because it was really off( I’m from the island so I know jerk). The food did not all come out together. My nephew received his and no one else then about 10 later my mom and sister got theirs and about 15 minutes later my brother and I received ours.and there was a lot of stuff not available. I worked in restaurant for 20+ years so I am not trying to be mean with this review, it’s just what I experienced. Suggestions include: server have better timing when ordering food. Check inventory levels. Would I return, absolutely, but I hope it would be a better experience. Thank you

Was a party of 3, 2 of whom were running late and not there at reservation time. Hostess said she could seat me but table time limit was 90 minutes and would start when I sat down. No problem. Waiter comes, takes drink order and then I don't see him again for 20 minutes! Ordered same dish as last time, was not as tasty. Not sure I'll be visiting a 3rd time.

We had reservations for 8 people. Half of our party arrived on time. The staff refused to allow them to be seated until the entire party was present. This is a stupid policy. The restaurant will lose money. 2 people from my party was very upset and left the restaurant.

We are in town for our anniversary and wanted to try this black owned business. We made online reservations which was an easy process. When we arrived we were seated right away. The food was cooked to perfection. I had the jerk chicken and waffles and my husband had the burger. The service was outstanding.

The drinks took a while to come out. I don't particularly care for them being strictly rum based so I only ordered one an old fashion (named differently). The food was very flavorful but lacked temperature heat. The size of the wings was concerning it gave steroids vibes they were huge. My overall experience was okay just maybe not for me.

I can’t say enough great things about the staff, food, and vibes at 14 Parish. Alex, the bartender was hard at work when we learned it was his 30th Birthday. His drinks were all made with love okay?! Others on staff like Terry, Serenity, and Carlos took great care of us and made sure our food was excellent, tables were cleared, and service was impeccable! This is our new Thursday night spot. Love supporting this Black-owned business in my neighborhood.

Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Called ahead as I thought I was going to be late because of an accident on the freeway. Serenity was the hostess, but stepped in and took our order as no one had come over for about 15 minutes. She was really sweet and gave her recommendations as we decided on a couple of them. The plantain pancakes were really good! I loved the chicken sausage. My husband had the Yankee Breakfast. The other 2 members of our party ordered the Crabcake Benedict and the Jerk Chicken and Waffles. Everyone enjoyed their meal, and we were pleasantly surprised. Overall, it was a great first impression of the restaurant, and we will be back for dinner.

Drinks were quite good but the second drink was in a different glass about 1/2 as big. People at the bar had the same drink in a huge glass. Depends on who they like. Catfish was loaded with bones. Not a bite without a bone. The key lime pie tasted like blue cheese. The fried dough was wonderful! So loud, I couldn’t hear my friend. The service was absolutely the worst I’ve ever had at any restaurant in my life. We sat there 1/2 hour before the drinks came. I tried to get water and ice several times from the waitress. PI finally went to the bar to ask for water. The bartender was very busy but a customer at the bar actually got me some and handed it over to me. The owner was very friendly and came to each table to say hi. He got someone to walk around with water. They were packed!!

Very nice staff, we were a little late and they still honored our reservation. The food was great as well, the crab cake Benjamin was very good, the short rib omelette was filling but not too heavy. The drinks were strong, so don’t order more than one if you plan to drive.
