    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.
