    Interestingly saw very mixed reviews online about Comal, but its offerings seemed unique and inspiring, so I had to check it out. We came on time for our reservation and were promptly seated. The ambience and decor here is lovely and feels rustic/cozy while still feeling modern as well. We felt service was smooth throughout the meal. There may have been a few shift changes, as several different people came to wait on our table throughout the meal, but this did not bother us. We tried the skewers first - unfortunately they did not have the lengua which I was looking forward to - so we instead got the pork and mushroom. The pork was the standout of the two due to its marinade/seasoning. One minor issue- the happy hour sign was out for $4 skewers when we walked in, so we asked the host if it still applied. We also asked if HH applied at the tables instead of the bar. He told us HH was not technically available on weekends but that he would honor it for us regardless because the sign was out as we walked in. Unfortunately when the bill came we were charged full price; the host had left by then. A bit of a bummer and we only decided to try the mushroom skewers because we thought we were getting them at HH price, but no big deal. Onto the rest of the meal! The aguachile was a refreshing change of texture and flavor. Similar to crudo dishes I've had elsewhere but with a different mix of a deliciously sour sauce with a bit of a kick to it. It's like and a fairly small dish but I appreciated the contrast from the other dishes. The honeynut squash we decided to get on a whim, to add to what were mostly predetermined orders by us before we got to the restaurant but was a real standout. The mixture of the crispiness with the soft squash and the pickled veggies, paired with the smokiness of the sauces was delicious. The last two dishes took a while longer to come out which we rationalized was due to the extensive preparation required to make these dishes fresh (which we appreciated!) The potato was a real standout to me - crispy on the outside surfaces but nice and warm/soft in the middle. Paired with the sauce - delicious! I really enjoyed the chicken as well. Overall the squash and potato were my favorite dishes and would return from them (and maybe to try the lengua too). The food was the standout of this experience - our experience was mildly soured from the miscommunication about the skewers - but it did not ultimately detract from a favorable dining experience.

    Comal is a newly opened restaurant highlighting Mexican cuisine with a modern twist. While I liked the flavors overall, none of the dishes left a strong impression. However I am excited to see how they grow and how the menu evolves. Started off the skewers: the al pastor was alright, but the lengua was pretty tender and the mushroom well seasoned and smokey. I liked the crab tostada because I like the crab, but between the crab meat, avocado, and the crunchy tortilla there weren't any prominent flavors. The aguachille had a very tasty and tangy sauce. I felt that the bluefin slices were a tad too fishy compared to other crudo/raw fish dishes I've had. The beef tartare offered a nice mix of chillies and seasoning which I enjoyed! The veggies were fresh and served as a nice vehicle. The mole was slightly too salty for me. The zucchini was quite interesting! Cooked zucchini served cold which contrasted with the crispy masa pieces. The savory taste was contrasted with the cinnamon-y or nutmeg seasoning and sweet nectarine pieces. Staff were super busy on a Friday night. It seemed like there was only 1 waiter with several bussers for the entire restaurant, indoor and outdoor. Service was inconsistent and it took us a while to get our check. In sum, I'm glad I got a chance to check out this place and curious to see how things might change after they iron out the details.

    This place has amazing food. The tuna agauchile and pork chop were phenomenal, as was the chicken liver. Would absolutely return to try more things.

    Bummer to see the mixed reviews here, I actually really loved my meal here. My fiance and I walked in on a Tuesday evening and luckily there were two bar seats. We ordered the lengua skewer, aguachile, potato dish, roasted chicken and soft serve. EVERYTHING was so well made, earthy and delicious. The most astonishing dishes for me were the potato dish (literally cooked with so much thought, and so many thin layers) and the soft serve (which is 100% to DIE for). Definitely a pricey choice but I was really impressed with the ambiance, food and the team were super friendly!

    We loved the skewers, mussels, aguachile, potato, and especially the desserts (some of the best we've had this year).

    Came here for my bday brunch and it did not disappoint at all. What sets this place apart from most…read moreplaces besides their awesome Tulum aesthetics is the fact that not everyone has to participate in the bottomless alcohol option, so you can invite your non drinking friends. They also have an à la carte bottomless food option which even me would Jed have to participate in. This is one of the only places that offers a bottomless food option. The waitress was very attentive and the drinks were strong! Worth every penny and I will be back here again for sure. I thought I took more photos but I didn't, this place is a vibe. 5 stars

    What a GORGEOUS space. Whoever interior decorated this restaurant deserves their tens because it is…read morea spectacle. I had only seen daytime pics, but being there in the evening is a treat. If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.

    I was so very happy one of my favorite restaurants was still around!! Love love love the food here…read moreand even though 3 people shared 2 meals, we were still stuffed when leaving here. The staff was extremely nice, and even though we were 45 minutes late, they were able to fit us in, so appreciated that. The service was amazing. the restaurant is lovely and packed like true Mid-town NY restaurants. They surprised my mama with a song and free dessert to celebrate her birthday. The whole restaurant joined in, so nice. The food is amazing!!! I don't think they have a bad dish. My mama enjoyed which did my heart good because it's a favorite of mine and after so many years, it's still amazing . Totally recommend !! We for some reason got hooked on the hibiscus pomegranate iced tea. Yummy yum yum.

    We chose this place for brunch, as it was close to where we needed to be. My friend has been to…read moretheir other location and said it was good. We had reservations and there was a party ahead of us at the entrance. No greeting or acknowledgment from the hostess upon entrance (red flag). She seated the other party and very lackadaisically returned to her booth to finally acknowledge our presence. She seated us with menus but no brunch menu even though it was still brunch time. I had to ask the waiter for it. Took a while to get order in. We ordered two apps and one entree to share. Took even longer for our food to arrive. We ordered: Nachos - they were ok Fried calamari - overly salty, slightly fishy, and COLD Chile relleno - underwhelming, lukewarm Hibiscus pomegranate iced tea - tasted like grenadine water. Zero pomegranate or hibiscus flavor. Also, different prices between brunch and regular menu. We were charged regular menu price. Overall, super underwhelming and not worth your time or money. Chipotle would've been better than this.
