Best Family Style Restaurants in Capitol Hill

A holiday dinner with good friends was wonderful ... food wine service! But halfway through the meal a large party of 8 already lit with "cheer" was sat next to us in one of Tabard's smaller rooms and we could no longer hear each other. So we left before dessert. I realize that restaurants can't predict their patrons' behavior but in this instance re had to exit through a nearby small room which was empty and had a table that would have accommodated the group. Too bad!

the space and the service were so warm and inviting and the food was outstanding! lovely wine list and dessert is not to be missed, any of them but especially the “tiramisu”’

We loved our meal!!! Would definitely return. Guacamole so tasty and dessert heaven.

We did the Taste of the South family style dinner experience. Which is funny being we are southerners in DC for a wedding. But had to see if the menu met southern standards. ;) Not only a great value but also a tasty sampling of Succotash’s popular items. Fried green tomato salad, smoked chicken wings, sweet cornbread, collard greens,smashed potatoes,deviled eggs, shrimp and grits, ribeye, chicken and waffles, hummingbird cake balls, chocolate pecan tarts. I was concerned about portion size since my sons and husband are healthy eaters. :). No worries. No one left hungry. All delicious though my husband likes my deviled eggs better. The cocktails were excellent also. I forget our server’s name but she was also top notch. Would highly recommend and will return.

This was the third time I have eaten at this restaurant, and the first time that the service was not very good. The waiter we had seemed dismissive and uninterested in our having a good dining experience. My companion thought this might be explained by our being elderly ladies who do not drink. The restaurant was not at all crowded and there seemed to be enough staff on hand.
