Comedor is always a home run! The welcome, the food, drinks & service - amazing. Shout out to Cameron, our Server, who was wonderful. The Bone Marrow tacos are one of my favorite dishes in Austin and the current steak set is phenomenal- splurge and go for it! Thank you Chef Speer and Team for continuing to push boundaries and being one of my favorite restaurants in town. Y’all are the best!

Food was quite good. The service needs work. Waited 20 minutes for cocktails to arrive. One part of the first course came out very quickly, but then we had 20 minute waits between other food servings. Waited 10 minutes for a wine list and then another long wait for a second bottle of wine. It’s interesting, because there are a lot of wait staff around. Still, the kitchen is slow and even clearing dirty dishes is slow. All of this with the restaurant 1/3 empty. Lots of opportunities to improve the dining experience,

Staff was incredible and friendly and service was exceptional. Food is very unique and there is very likely something on the menu you have never tried before. Don’t be afraid to ask what something may taste like or what to expect to the staff. Knowing that will help you pick your options and make your time an incredible experience as well.

Terrific food and service. Only downside was that our party of six was crammed into a booth, and it was very uncomfortable for a few members of the group. Otherwise an amazing meal and service. Thank you!
