    The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.

    I love trying neighborhood black-owned business and Comfort Kitchen EXCEEDED my expectations. The entire experience was stellar from the warm welcome, the informed menu to the knowledgeable/kind staff. Every single dish we tried was amazing. Our drinks were balanced, inventive and top notch. I was celebrating my birthday and at the end of service the manager even gave me a handwritten birthday card. I will definitely be back.

    Second time in and our party of five had a fantastic experience, equal parts food, drink, service (especially waitress with impeccable timing) and ambience. Octopus, endive salad, lamb chops, filet, duck club, burgers - all delicious and prepared exactly as requested, including GF accommodation. A Manhattan heavy on specifics was expert-crafted, sub-zero cold and delivered at the perfect time. Great music heavy on classic indie played loud enough to hear but low enough to talk normally. We’ll be back for sure!

    Wonderful dining experience. Sat at the bar. We started with cocktails, however keep in mind that they do not serve 'hard' liquor so if you have a hankering for a vodka martini, forget about it. We very much enjoyed the freshly shucked oysters that were ice cold and very sweet. Our entrees were perfect as well as the side of Maple Glazed Acorn Squash. Service was excellent. Kudos to our server Leo at the bar!
