    Why Esr Anywhere Else?!? I always feel welcome at YNAJoe’s. Every meal that I, family & friends have had here or at their other locales, received a 5-star rating. Today’s Birthday Brunch was my gift to a lovely young woman. When she noted that the salad dressing was not to her taste, the waiter promptly and cheefully brought her a fresh plate of greens and lighter dressing on the side. My tuna tacos were light, crisp, colorfully presented & fresh. The crème brûlée was also perfect and tasty. Ah…another satisfying meal! I’ll be back soon!

    The service was thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered oysters—I like them briny and bare—but the cucumber foam on these sweet things was revelatory, very good. We shared the tart, which was fine, but the layers could have been more distinct or more flavorful or something. Squid was great with the two textures. And we shared the fish head, which was fun and delicious. Great sauce with it.

    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!

    Sat at the bar, had a wonderful service! The drinks were great and the bartenders were very knowledgeable about the menu, helping my gluten free friend out with what she could have. Great experience! Only negative is that the bar seats are terribly close together so it was very hard to get in and out of the seat.

    Service was outstanding. Waitress was lovely and helpful, and when we were splitting dishes, they came out of the kitchen in separate plates, with lovely presentation. Beet salad was excellent, as was the burger. Wish there were more beers on tap, but the selection of local brews was great. Altogether a lovely evening and fine meal.
