- AAmalPhiladelphia County •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoDelicious food. Great service. Only complaint was the seating. Even though there were many open tables we were seated right next to another table that was very close. We had to move our tables over a bit to give some place next to the couple next to us. Felt very crampedMore infoSuccotash PRIMEPrice: Moderate• American• Penn Quarter•4.6
- CCarlosNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThe food here is absolutely amazing. We had to wait a while to be seated, but we were served a appetizer that was on the house. The service that we were given here was also amazing. They checked in on us until we got the table, and they were very kind. It wasn’t too loud, it was like any regular noise level in a restaurant. Overall, it was amazing there. 100% recommend.More infoJaleo - DCPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Penn Quarter•4.7
- RRachelLos Angeles •17 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFood was so amazingly good, from the roasted cauliflower to the tender and flavorful steak. The service was friendly and helpful, modifying the chef's menu for our vegetarian with shellfish allergy guest. And the overall enviroment was warm, welcoming, and cozy. My only complaint is that the experience is so good that no one wants to leave their tables! Like a great family dinner.
