Who We Are

The Global Vision

The dream – start a restaurant with bold flavors, tantalizing textures, and ingredients from around the world, then fuse those flavors in a way that brings them together in a harmonious whole. 14 Global 's dining format brings people together, the emphasis is on sharing with one another all the different flavors by offering global 'Tapas'. There is a variety of snack boards, table shares, global tacos, and mains so that everyone can feel free to sample numerous dishes. Share or not to share?? In addition, the cocktail program complements the eclectic cuisine. The elaborate cocktails are infused with only the best ingredients mother nature has to offer, each one hand-crafted. You can taste the freshness of each cocktail because they all contain citrus fruit that is squeezed at the time the drink is assembled. Lots of interesting ingredients are fused into Global's cocktails. Also, the wine list is composed of bottles and glasses that have not only been personally researched, ​but have been subjected to many tastings that critically assess their yumminess!

You are sitting in my dream come true. I hope that you love it as much as I do!
