    Went to Succotash Prime while we were in town with family and friends for the 4th of July holiday. We were really excited about the menu after a long day of touring the city. The food and drinks were excellent. We were really wowed by classics, and innovative combinations, with lots of fresh takes. We especially loved the collard greens, watermelon with peanuts, and the seasonal salad. It was clear the staff was a bit overwhelmed, so we were patient, but did need to point out that drinks and certain apps did not arrive more than once. Otherwise service was pleasant and apologetic, and able to help us meet our dietary restrictions. Really the only major drawback was how loud it was. There was an incredibly energetic group seated behind us, and the acoustics of the room made it difficult to hear each other at our table.
