Best Restaurants for Foodies in National Harbor

I went there for a birthday dinner with my son, and we sat near the bar area. We waited for some time, looking over the menu, as it was both of our first times visiting. After a while, the manager came by and asked if anyone had attended to our table. We said not yet, and he immediately apologized. By that point, we already knew we wanted the crab dip, which we had seen online, so we ordered that along with calamari. Both dishes came out and tasted amazing. However, the table seated behind us had a server who introduced himself, while we had not yet been approached by anyone. I ended up ordering through the manager, who helped us throughout the meal, refilling our glasses, bringing extra sauces, etc. I did ask a young lady for extra sauce when she brought our food. She said okay but ended up bringing the food to the table behind us. I got her attention again, and she apologized, but after that, I didn’t see her again. I even helped by holding up the ramekin through the window, hoping she understood, but she never came back. Despite this, I would visit again and give it another chance, hoping it was just a case of being short-staffed. I loved the view, especially how close it was to the water, and the happy hour prices were very reasonable. My only wish is that we had been treated and served as attentively as the tables around us. Again, Ken made my visit great—he was apologetic, helpful, and even suggested off-menu items to my son.

The decor and music was very nice. We enjoyed our brunch cocktails and food.

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

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.
