14 Parish

"14 Parish is an upscale Caribbean restaurant that used to be in the South Loop, and it’s worth seeking out if you’re in the mood for spicy jerk and some rum cocktails. You’ll find dishes like jerk chicken and catfish, oxtails, and vegetarian curry. The food is really good, and the service is friendly. Just be aware that they host a lot of celebrations here, so the atmosphere can feel pretty scattered if you come during graduation, birthday party, or the Society Of Neuroscience’s casino night." - adrian kane

"14 Parish is an upscale Caribbean restaurant in Hyde Park, and it’s worth seeking out if you’re in the mood to mark the end of your thesis with spicy jerk and some rum cocktails. You’ll find dishes like jerk chicken and catfish, oxtails, and vegetarian curry. The food is really good, and the service is friendly. Just be aware that they host a lot of celebrations here, so you’ll probably be competing with a birthday party, your academic nemesis’ graduation dinner, or the University of Chicago faculty casino night." - veda kilaru, john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen

"Dawn is the second Hyde Park venture from Chicago native Racquel Fields, owner of 14 Parish." - Naomi Waxman

"Caribbean-inspired 14 Parish in Hyde Park does belly-warmers island style. Grounded Chicagoans who are under the weather can find respite in its creamy coconut conch chowder, a light yet filling nod to warmer climates." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"Tropical drinks get top billing at this popular Caribbean restaurant and bar in Hyde Park. Try the ocean-blue Mermaid Bathwater (dark rum, coconut rum, creme de coconut, pineapple, blue curacao)." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
