    The restaurant itself is pretty and has a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the setting. After we were seated, we waited about 10 minutes before anyone came over to greet us, even though the restaurant had just opened and was almost empty, with only two tables occupied. We could see several servers standing around and talking to each other, and there seemed to be very little sense of urgency or attention toward the guests. We ordered a few appetizers, but the food was very average and did not impress us. The drinks were also weak. After trying the appetizers, we decided not to order anything else and went to another restaurant instead. Unfortunately, the service, food, and drinks did not meet our expectations. I would not return.

    Loved Blake, our waiter. We have eaten at Comedor countless times and the bone marrow last night was extra exceptional. The okra had too much tomatoe and not enough balance of a fat to bring down the acidic tone. The half chicken was so moist and tender with a perfect spice combination, savory without sweet or mixed messages. We also had the masa breaded flayed porkchop and again the sauce didn’t fit the dish. The drinks were also 10/10. Overall 8/10

    Booked in advance and asked for a quiet, romantic table for our anniversary. We were seated in a row with another table less than three feet away. The host was the only person who acknowledged the occasion, the rest of the evening, no one mentioned it. I don’t expect free dessert. I expected a sentence. Food was good. But $300 for two apps, one entrée, a side, and a dessert, with a couple of drinks for me wife is a number I’m still doing math on. Then a 10% healthcare surcharge, which I genuinely like as a policy, followed by a 20% suggested tip on top. At $80 a steak, I’d expect the price to already cover paying your team. Good kitchen, careless hospitality, and a check that asks the guest to solve the labor model twice. We won’t be back for the next one.
