The service was decent, but the food didn’t quite meet my expectations. The tables felt oversized for a party of two, which made the dining experience feel a bit impersonal. Additionally, the lack of valet parking was a letdown and made arrival more stressful than it needed to be.

"Absolutely fantastic new dinner spot! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting with a modern, stylish touch. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The steel head fish was a definite highlight. We also loved the cocktail menu-so creative and well-balanced. This place is a gem, and we'll definitely be back very soon!" Want to tailor it for a specific type of cuisine

From the moment we arrived at Succulent, it was clear this restaurant was something special. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between sophistication and warmth, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The menu showcased a thoughtful blend of classic flavors and innovative twists. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and packed with flavor—from the delicately balanced appetizers to the bold, creative entrées that reflected true culinary artistry. It’s clear the chefs are not just cooking—they’re crafting experiences. What truly set this restaurant apart was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu and pairings, and genuinely committed to making our dining experience memorable. This is not just a place to eat—it’s a destination to enjoy, indulge, and be inspired. Highly recommended for those who appreciate fine dining with a modern edge and flawless hospitality.

Food was outstanding and the restaurant is gorgeous! The bar and wait staff, however, need more training. While they were very friendly, they needed to be reminded of orders several times. They didn’t checkin with our table and we had to flag down a manager. We will definitely be going back because overall we loved the restaurant but hopefully the staff won’t be so “green”.
