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!

First time going to K+K and it was amazing. I went with my fiancee and we most certainly enjoyed ourselves. The lamb chops were amazing and so was the fried okra. I wish the mac and cheese was baked but it was still great. Definitely would go again! -Delano
