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 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!

    From the beginning we reserved a table and we greeted upon entrance. We were given a table timer for when our table was ready. We let our waitress know early we were there for the best of Brazilian $39 discount night and they were very attentive to our needs. We enjoyed the salad bar and we both had happy hour $10 drinks. Those were both very delicious. Then we were greeted by different servers of rounds of meats our favorite being the Pichana a must try.  the manager, actually came over and greeted us and gave us small talk along with our waitress who was kind enough to find our favorite dessert on the menu, to end the night on the house. Will most definitely be coming back!
