While many know “Succotash” when they see it, the dish has been interpreted, modified and passed from generation to generation for centuries. While Succotash between families will share similarities, each family’s recipe is deeply personal and reminiscent of those special suppers that brings kin together.

    We got the Jaleo experience tasting menu. It was excellent, and more food than we were expecting. Definitely worth the price! It was somewhat loud and we had trouble hearing the wait staff at times, but otherwise we would definitely do this again!

    Our third time dining there and was a good experience, a little slow on service but I’m sure due to holiday staffing, but the available staff really worked together. The deviled eggs were delicious and I enjoyed the shrimp & grits with a fried egg on top.

    Lena’s was a great choice for the holiday. I’m always pleased with the delicious food. They were very accommodating for my child that has food allergies. We were contacted prior to our arrival that even though there would be cross contamination of ingredients, we were welcome to bring our own food. The server also asked about food allergies, so the awareness was welcome as well.

    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.
