- Park. To celebrate a special occasion, I can't recommend anything better than an evening where you entrust your fate to a chef at an omakase bar. At Park, you'll find Pperfectly cooked, tempered, seasoned rice, fish expertly cut with a single stroke, garnishes designed to magnify the hero ingredients, and, of course, some storytelling—in this case, chef Antonio Park's.
