    The food and drinks were good as was the overall atmosphere. The service was great as well, the server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The tables are very close together, so we could hear the conversations from the tables next to us, and viceversa. That ruined the mood of an otherwise good experience.

    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.
