Comfort is one of those places Bob and I don’t frequent as much as we would like. In our case, distance is usually the factor as it’s a bit of a haul from our home, but when we make the journey, we are glad we did.
Tuesday night, we had a great dinner with the terrific food and service we’ve come to love and expect from Comfort. Upon arrival, our server Alexis seated us promptly and after reviewing the menu and wine list we ordered a bottle of Floriano Verdicchio ($25) and a basket of fried okra with remoulade ($7) to start. The wine was crisp and dry and the okra fried perfectly and the remoulade made for a great dipping sauce. Alexis also brought us bread and cornbread, which is exactly the way I like my cornbread. It’s not sweet at all, a little dense and bordering on crumbly.
I ordered my usual, fried catfish, and side of braised greens and squash casserole ($16). Bob ordered the roasted chicken, with side of mac and cheese and corn ($17). I just love the catfish and collards doused with their hot pepper vinegar and the squash is a nice contrast. This trio is one of my favorite meals in Richmond. Bob was pleased with his chicken and corn and said the mac and cheese was better than ever.
Comfort is one place we always save room for dessert. The banana pudding crème brulee ($6.50) with a moist crust of vanilla wafer crumbs topped with custard and a crispy sugary crust of sliced bananas is a great way to end a southern meal.
We definitely need to make that drive more often. Comfort is located on Broad, just east of Belvidere at 200 W. Broad St. Comfort - Richmond, VA
