   Our server was amazing. One of our favorite places. Crab pretzel, French pressed coffee, pancakes and smash burger never disappoint. The quail and eggs benedict could have been better. We will visit again in the Spring. Have New Year to the Wonderful Staff.

   Great spot with a beer garden on the bottom level. Upstairs/the main level gives a nice farm-to-table vibe. Mateo, our server, was incredible, and he took care of us for roughly four hours! Amazing service and great foot. The crab bread and the Fontina Burger were incredible!!

   The food was good, but the service fell short. Our server seemed inexperienced—we had to request salt and rely on another waiter to get our drinks. This ongoing issue with service needs management’s attention, as it risks driving customers away.

   Absolutely dreadful. Apart the appalling service, or lack of it, the food is just plain odd, overcooked, weird - clearly a chef had a night off. So, Fried Goats Cheese Salad with blood orange, sounds delicious as an appetiser? Sounds is better than it was!! Freezing cold globs of cheese in a soggy batter? Why not serve it hot? An enormous mound of salad leaves deviated it from a dish to a rummage sale to locate an orange segment. A true treasure hunt. Entrees: omg seriously the worst I’ve had in a while, let me start: Diner 1 - Quail. This is a small delicate bird, treat it with respect, deep frying it so it was beyond any form of recognition thus ensuring any flavor was disintegrated- you may fry chicken on a waffle, but this is a quail - what on earth are you thinking! Gently roast it and give the poor bird some dignity in what it gave its life for!! Diner 2 (me), Deere Farm Chicken Breast, I know the farm as I buy my meat there, awesome produce, but in the hands of the Comus Inn, let’s dehydrate and suck the life out of it with an inch and serenade it a pile of what can only be described as baby food mush, I don’t think a forensic pathological examine could determine what was in that creation. And the jus, lacked any depth and kinda swam away from the chicken for fear of being “sponged up” by the said meat. Deere Valley, best you come and test for yourself as your good name is associated with this!! Diner3: wow, this is the most bonkers entree ever!! Sounded nice, mushrooms on toast, well, ladle the toast in a watery “gravy”, “jus” - don’t know how to describe it? So it’s actually afloat, odd. Adding wet to toast makes it soggy, how do you eat that? And the mushrooms, not a forage of species bringing depth and flavour, nope, just your regular chaps, mutineers of taste, clinging to the sinking toast. A titanic of a dish. Absolutely no culinary skill on display, no sense of presentation and the food didn’t sing - voice lost and any decency, packed its bags.

   The Comus kitchen can be a bit hit and miss. The short rib was delicious, however, the roast chicken was way over cooked, dry and mealy. As for the sides, the  brussels sprouts were undercooked and the rest were tasty. The staff is very helpful and friendly as always.

   The food were very good. The server did not bother to check how are we doing in the middle of the brunch. I had to call the server for refill on coffee. The server sent another one to bring us coffee and hot water. Eventually, the hot water was spilled over on my leg by accident. It was mishandling by the second server. They did not apologize for mishandling this situation and gave us a full bill price. We did not complain at all but just pondering

   Our waitress never come back after taken our orders, only time she back was middle of our meals and want to drop us a check. After we finished we had to wait quite a bit for her to come.

    What a true delight! The trout was fantastic and my husband said the smash burger was the best he has ever had. Will definitely be returning!
