While Succotash between families will share similarities, each family’s recipe is deeply personal and reminiscent of those special suppers that brings kin together.

    This was the perfect choice for our Valentine's Day engagement. We were split between the Family Style southern menu and the Valentine's Day menu. Both looked good but the southern style gave the best taste of what Succotash is all about. Our server Eric made it an amazing experience! He brought us a special dessert and really helped make it a special occasion. We will always remember our special day and the family style meal at Succotash

    Went to the lofts which was Havana 151 themed with a themed menu (as well as their regular menu). Table had a 90 min limit but that might have been because of Valentine’s Day.

    A lovely Valentine's evening experience. A great mix of tastings and shared entree. The wine pairings worked beautifully and Sam the sommelier gave a lecture on the local Terroir. Justin provided great service. We will be returning for their regular menu soon.

    There is a lot of great choices on the menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quiet (mostly because we dined on a holiday, but I am certain if we dined on a normal day it would’ve been lively and energetic). Our server was wonderful, and the food was great. The pizzas are great to share among 2 people as they are individual pizzas with 6 sizeable slices. The pastas a generous portion and fit the price. They do add gratuity (tip) to the bill & leave you the option to add more. Overall the experience was wonderful and I would recommend and go again.
