    Food portions are generous and flavor full, pizza is outstanding. We've had the skillet bread in the past which was very filling with a rich marinara sauce. The Cream of Crab soup is ok, but not great with more broth than crab. I don't like Sherry, and usually it's put on top of the soup, but here it's cooked into the base which I wish I'd known before ordering. The blueberry cheesecake was rich and creamy with a generous dollop of whipped cream, definitely more than enough to share.

    We had a group of four and everything was devine. Mushroom risotto was smoky and creamy, the mussels in curry sauce was perfect. One in our party had the halibut which was flaky and poached perfectly. We had the steak tartar and French roll as appetizers and the bacon butter was unexpectedly flavorful. The staff was attentive and prompt. We also had a visit from the manager and that was a nice touch. Thank you Belga Cafe for a wonderful meal and a fantastic evening.

    We did the Taste of the South family style dinner experience. Which is funny being we are southerners in DC for a wedding. But had to see if the menu met southern standards. ;) Not only a great value but also a tasty sampling of Succotash’s popular items. Fried green tomato salad, smoked chicken wings, sweet cornbread, collard greens,smashed potatoes,deviled eggs, shrimp and grits, ribeye, chicken and waffles, hummingbird cake balls, chocolate pecan tarts. I was concerned about portion size since my sons and husband are healthy eaters. :). No worries. No one left hungry. All delicious though my husband likes my deviled eggs better. The cocktails were excellent also. I forget our server’s name but she was also top notch. Would highly recommend and will return.
