Park 54 Restaurant & Lounge
About
Park 54 Restaurant & Lounge is a Hyde Park restaurant and nightlife spot named for the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment, one of the first official Black units to fight for the Union in the Civil War. The regiment trained in Readville, now part of Hyde Park, and the restaurant carries that history into the dining room with historical artifacts. The menu draws on Southern, Caribbean and New England cooking, served alongside creative cocktails and live music.
The founder is Tasha Hull, a Trinidad-born entrepreneur, educator and real estate professional who has lived in Hyde Park for years and wanted to build a gathering place in her own community. The kitchen’s signature is shrimp, lobster and crab grits, with wings, fresh seafood, steaks and desserts rounding out the menu. Guests come for brunch on the patio, romantic dinners, happy hour, live music and private celebrations.
