    We had an outstanding meal at Comfort Kitchen this evening. It’s off the beaten path, yet very successful for good reason. The food was uniformly delicious and unusual. The chefs clearly have a deft hand with spices. The food was extremely flavorful and well seasoned without being too spicy. The staff worked as a team, and the team members were extremely well trained, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly without being at all intrusive. We look forward to a return visit!

    The food was really good from the complimentary cornbread to the Boston cream pie. We had the cold plate with clams, oysters, and shrimp and a cold lobster roll. It was a slow night off-season but still amazing. Our server was attentive and the overall ambiance was nice.

    I dined here on a Thursday at 4:30 pm for a work event with my team. The Prima team did not miss a beat. We had a fantastic experience. The space is stunning with a gorgeous peak-a-book kitchen and beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was flavorful and perfectly plated. The bread plated was the best fresh ricotta with a hit of sesame I've had in the city! A must-try. We tried many cocktails with the favorite being the Prima martini. The manager Andrew and his team were attentive, knowledgable, and incredibly hospitable. If you haven't tried this spot it's a must!

    We were a group of 8, and it was a fun evening. We sat upstairs, which made our boisterous conversation easy to follow as we each sampled a variety of delicious dishes. The tuna tartar and the yuca fries as appetizers were a hit, as were the shorty mash and lamb chops for entrees. The meal was capped with crème brûlée. Leena was super friendly and attentive, and I look forward to a return visit!
