    Conveniently located in the Hyatt (where we stayed), I made reservations for the terrace which would've been great but the weather did not cooperate - an easy change to dining in. Ready to eat, we started with the slider appetizers that came with a nice quantity of fries. Not to overlook the shrimp appetizer, we ordered those too. All were great! The sliders were nicely seasoned and the shrimp were plump and fried perfectly. While I probably could've stopped there, we'd heard the chicken sandwich was good so yeah..we got that AND steak tacos. The steak tacos could've stayed out of the equation. The meat tasted like it came from frozen and the seasoning was forgotten. It was bland. The chicken on the sandwich was good but the toppings were slim...a baby piece of lettuce and barely there tomato.

    Located in the Hyatt, it has some nice indoor and outdoor seating a little close to the water. Note that happy hour ends at about 6pm so get in a little early if you'd like to take advantage of it. Would recommend you make a reservation before stopping by, as it and other establishments in the National harbor area can get pretty busy on Friday nights/weekends. The menu is quite extensive there were lots of food options. We started with the wings and calamari, both tasty but also comparable to what you'd get in a typical bar. The buttermilk chicken sandwich was also tasty but my favorite was the chicken cheese ravioli pasta. The portions were decent, not excessive and you could probably finish it in one go. Our waiter was super sweet, but service was a little slow because it got a little busy as the night went on. Although there are so many other restaurant options would still recommend if you're in the mood for some American bar-ish food options.

    Loaded fries (I added the ranch...they're not loaded without ranch...just sayin), mini sliders, and yeungling...does life get better?!

    The minisliders are da bomb! The loaded fries are excellent! Maurice is great! I will be trying more foods to comment on

    False advertising.  Hh 4 to 6 not 4 to 7.

    So I recently visited Bar Harbor today which is located in the Hyatt at the National Harbor, right across the street from the Silver Dinner. The food was decent. I had the sweet and spicy shrimp. There were 5 jumbo fried shrimp that were glazed with some type of sauce. There was no dipping sauce and it would have been better with a dipping sauce. Now the service was great with Maurice at the bar. He was pleasant and paid great attention to me. So the service was not the issue. The bathrooms were also cleaned and so was the bar. But the food was the issue abd the advertisement in the time for happy hour was the issue. So the flag outside said that hh was 4 to 7 but it ended at 6. I mentioned that to Maurice and he said they have to take the flag down. But what in the world. Why advertise something that is untruthful and a blatant lie to customers. Just my observations. And the food needs some work and they didn't have liquor on happy hour, only wine and beer. I would recommend new chefs and truthful and honest advertising of their hh times. But service at the bar was great.

    Located at the Hyatt Place hotel at the National Harbor, this was a pleasant experience. Our server, Maurice, did a great job and was very accommodating from the moment we sat down until when we left. There is a full bar with TVs, and it wasn't packed during Sunday Night Football which is always a plus for me. Plenty of seating with booths and couches. The food was pretty good as well. We ordered the chicken nachos and the buffalo wings for our starters (which are pictured in this review). Both were pretty good options, I would order them again if I were to return. For our entrees, we had the breakfast burger (just a burger with a fried egg on it) and the ravioli. Both were good choices. All in all, a nice place to consider when in the area.

    Sliders were really good!

    Food was delicious I loved eating here because it was quiet and had a nice view of the sky

    I was not familiar with Succotash before stumbling upon it while researching highly rated spots in…read morethe area. After reading through a number of glowing reviews, I decided to give it a shot, and I am so glad I did. It lived up to the reputation completely. If you are planning a visit, consider this your warning to pace yourself because everything on the menu is worth ordering. My group definitely went overboard, but in the best way possible. We started with the deviled eggs, which my table mates raved about. I didn't personally try them, but based on how quickly they disappeared, they are clearly a must-order. The pork belly ssam was a standout, perfectly balanced and easily one of the highlights of the night. We also shared the dirty chicken and the tater tots, both of which hit the mark. For our sides, we opted for the namesake corn succotash and the seasonal ginger broccoli. Both were seasoned beautifully and complemented the heavier dishes well. It is rare to find a spot where the sides feel just as intentional and well-executed as the entrees. The drinks were just as impressive, rounding out the meal perfectly. My only advice for next time is to exercise a little more restraint because while I want to try everything on the menu, the portions are generous. I will definitely be heading back soon to work my way through the rest of the offerings. It is a solid choice for anyone looking for elevated Southern comfort food in a great atmosphere.

The shrimp and grits were delightfully prepared, with rich flavors and perfect texture that made the dish stand out as a highlight of the meal. Every plate that came to the table felt thoughtfully crafted, and the attention to flavor and presentation really showed. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service. The manager, Geoffrey, was delightful, he personally catered to our needs, made us feel genuinely welcomed, and turned Succotash into a true home away from home for our visit. The entire staff was warm, attentive, and professional, which created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere from start to finish. The cocktails were excellently prepared, balanced, flavorful, and exactly what you want for a daytime outing. Between the great drinks, delicious food, and easygoing setting, it was truly day drinking at its finest. Every detail of our visit felt intentional and well executed, and I'm incredibly grateful to Geoffrey and the entire Succotash team for such a wonderful experience. Thank you!

We started with the **buffalo chicken wings** (crispy, well-seasoned, served with blue cheese and ranch) and the **Korean-style cauliflower bites** tossed in a sweet chili glaze with sesame seeds and scallions easily the table favorite. The **beef short rib egg rolls** were a fun twist, served with two dipping sauces and pickled peppers that gave it a nice kick. For mains, the **bistro steak with chimichurri and frites** was cooked a perfect medium-rare and the herb sauce was bright and punchy. The **shrimp scampi pasta** was creamy and rich with perfectly fried shrimp on top. The **steak Cobb salad** was loaded sliced bistro steak over lettuce with eggs, cherry tomatoes, corn, red onion, and blue cheese crumbles. Generous and satisfying. Don't skip the **skillet cornbread** it arrives in a Lodge cast iron pan, golden and slightly crispy on the edges, with a scoop of whipped honey butter that melts right in. Absolutely worth it. Great atmosphere, solid service, and a menu that has something for everyone. Will definitely be back.

    Amazing food and fantastic lemon drop but honestly, quite possibly the worst dining experience…read morewe've ever had. * Warm beer * Uncarbonated whiskey and coke * Sat at 7:30, ordered no later than 8 and that's being generous, and still didn't receive food until 9:17. They close at 9. * One of us received the wrong order and had to wait longer * Another received their side with our check which came out 10 minutes after getting our food. But don't worry they took it off our over $300 bill. Good god Redstone, that's the best you could do?! I will never eat here again, and I will never recommend this restaurant to anybody. Do I blame the waiter? Only partially. Because with what we experienced as a whole, terrible management and terrible kitchen. Update: I don't know how to respond directly to you Ryan but unfortunately our party of 7 was only in town a few days to celebrate our daughter's college graduation. Truly though, the lack of service couldn't have been lost on our server or your mngmt that evening (unless we were just that ignored and overlooked sitting in the middle of your outdoor space) because it should've been made right that same evening with even a simple apology or explanation for the night as a whole by your manager. Hopefully our experience was a one time deal for you and it'll be lost in sea of 5 star ratings. But no thank you, we won't be coming back.

It started out pretty decent with the waitress being attentive then she was talking to one of her co-workers as I was trying to get her attention. No big deal after while although I wanted to l let her know that wasn't good customer service especially when customers can see you, but anywho... The food was pretty good and the happy hour is good minus the fact that some of the drinks that my friend and I wanted to try they did not have at least 2 of them. I ordered a drink and I guess the bartender never made it so I asked her to cancel the drink after 10-15 mins. This was also during the time she was talking in the corner with the coworker. The food and drinks were good. I would go back and since this is an happy hour event that attends frequently. It has potential and I just hope for better service next time although it wasn't horrible. I would like to try the drinks they didn't have and get my drinks on time.

For appetizers, I ordered the fried oyster deviled eggs, and wow... they were so good. The little fried oysters on top of the deviled eggs were such a perfect combination. Crispy, creamy, flavorful -- definitely something I would order again without hesitation. For my entrée, I had the whole grilled branzino served over a green bean and fennel salad, and let me tell you... this was hands down one of the best branzinos I've ever had. The fish was seasoned perfectly and cooked beautifully. And that green bean and fennel salad underneath? So much better than I expected. I actually considered swapping it out, and I'm so glad I didn't because it completed the dish perfectly. Every bite was delicious. I also had a cocktail called the Endless Summer -- a tequila drink with this amazing foam on top -- and it was excellent. I asked the bartender for a recommendation, and she absolutely delivered. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I went by myself, sat at the bar, and genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and just an overall really enjoyable experience. I will definitely be back, and I absolutely recommend checking it out if you're at the Harbor.

And that alone shows just how consistent they are when it comes to providing outstanding service and a menu that never disappoints ( literally ) I wanted something I never personally tasted , so I tried the Branzino fish and was pleasantly surprised at how fluffy and seasoned it was. And when it comes to getting everything kicked started, you can never go wrong with the double fried chicken wings ( best in the business by a long shot ) So this coming spring and summer The Walrus Oyster & Ale House will be my favorite sit down location in the DMV area !!!! FYI: The have outside seating and a really cool happy hour !! ( you got to try the local oysters during happy hour )
