    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.

    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!

    I loved everything about it except the music was too loud. There was music playing within the restaurant and then the band started and it was even louder. Its hard to talk to my friends at my table when I feel like I have to yell. Wonderful service and great food.

    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.
