    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.

    Great view and great food! Sea bass was cooked perfectly with the lemon butter and capers sauce. I got the butternut squash and mushroom farro risotto, although I’d probably skip the latter and go for the whipped potatoes. It wasn’t really a risotto, was a bit bland and a very small portion. My husband got whipped potatoes with his steak and that was delicious. Overall I liked the ambiance by the harbor and would come back to this location.

    The service was thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered oysters—I like them briny and bare—but the cucumber foam on these sweet things was revelatory, very good. We shared the tart, which was fine, but the layers could have been more distinct or more flavorful or something. Squid was great with the two textures. And we shared the fish head, which was fun and delicious. Great sauce with it.
