A progressive perspective of classic Southern favorites.

While many know “Succotash” when they see it, the dish has been interpreted, modified and passed from generation to generation for centuries. While Succotash between families will share similarities, each family’s recipe is deeply personal and reminiscent of those special suppers that brings kin together. Our “Succotash” is special to us and we invite you to experience the South from our point of view.

Our server was great (Jose A). The staff that made the table-side guacamole NEVER engaged with us. We would have made different decisions if she had (i.e., fewer onions, more jalapeño). Disappointing.

We really enjoyed everything about our dining experience. The food was incredible and we really loved the view. Both dishes were well prepared and tasty. We also had the red velvet cake for dessert and we enjoyed it a lot. I would highly recommend going here.

The food and service at Succotash were excellent. The waitstaff went above and beyond to accommodate a guest with special needs. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Also, despite the restaurant being very full and busy, the acoustics were unusually great! You can actually hear conversation and not have to scream over loud music and other people. 5 stars. We will be back!

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the brunch. There is not one negative thing to say about this place. Every single food item was delicious and the mimosas were good too. Our server Khai Q. was outstanding, very personable and he encouraged us to come again, which we will. We planned to go to NYC next month for my daughter’s 30th bday and she asked that we come back to DC so we come here for a bday brunch. Try this place and you will not be disappointed.
