Mushroom bechamel delicious. Shakshuka was pleasant though not overly exciting. Good coffee and tea. Great service and cozy/well-appointed space!

Food, flavors and portions where excellent, instead of ordering we put our trust in our server to give us the best experience and we were not disappointed by the incredible journey they took us on. Thank you and see you again!

Food was good, but overpriced. Service was poor. Interior ambience was not as it is portrayed on the restaurant website. Would not eat an evening meal there again.

We were saddened to read your feedback. We put tremendous amount of effort into crafting dishes and creating an experience that is worthwhile for our customers Unfortunately, we fell short in your case. We take guest feedback very seriously and have discussed your review with our staff. We genuinely want to learn from your experience. Park is a small restaurant with a passionate, dedicated team. It much more than just our livelihood - it is a shared vision built on creativity, hard work and a commitment to delivering outstanding experience. We are proud of what we do, and own up to our shortcomings as well as our success. If you’re willing, we would love to have chat with you directly. Please feel free to call us, and we would be happy to listen and hopefully make amends.

We had brunch here during the holidays. Delicious food very well prepared and presented. Friendly attentive service while keeping it casual. The menu is unique and both dishes were very tasty with fresh and unique ingredients. Well done and we will be back. Also you can’t beat the unique space of the honeycomb roof and fire places to keep warm, very sweet.
