    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!

    First time going to K+K and it was amazing. I went with my fiancee and we most certainly enjoyed ourselves. The lamb chops were amazing and so was the fried okra. I wish the mac and cheese was baked but it was still great. Definitely would go again! -Delano
