“ Good place for healthy options good and large menu, they have a variety of salads and other dishes my favorite is the asian chicken salad. Staff is always very nice and fast but if you visit go with time because is always crowded, they are just amazing. Outside they have always tables but sometimes is super full. I love this place. ”
“ The food is excellent whether you're taking out or eating in. Their iconic Chinese chicken salad is delicious easy consistent, and usually sold out by the end of the day. I've been coming to Comforts for over 20 years and it's a personal favorite ”
“ A couple times a month we come to this lovely place for breakfast on Sunday's. The service is fantastic and the place is cozy. You definitely have to grab their Chinese chicken salad.!! ”
“ One of my favorite parts of this shop/restaurant is the location!!! Down town San Anselmo is soo charming. Perfect for exploring and then stopping at comforts for a bite. We got the Chinese chicken salad as raved about on the internet (disclaimer: I don't love Chinese chicken salads I think they are good but like other salads better) BUT it was a really good chicken salad! The stand out dish is the French toast!! Pecan crusted and filled with some delicious custard! This made the meal worth it! They only serve breakfast until 12 btw! So crunchy and delicious. Service was fine. Nothing stand out but not a bad experience. We are outside and it was lovely. Indoor and outdoor options. Definitely will come back for the French toast! ”
“ Back again for another amazing meal! The service is great. Our waiter was also our waiter at madcap the other night so it was fun to see a familiar face. Comforts is so special because they change out their menu often. My boyfriend got the short rib loco moco and I got the stuffed hash-browns. And we split the lemon blueberry pancake. And got mimosas. Everything was amazing. The remodel is also very well done! ”
“ The local Red Cross center ordered two giant pans of Comfort's lasagna. Ooh, so, good!!! Each pan served over 15 people and there was plenty to take home as well. The traditional meat lasagna had to die for creamy sauce and tons of meat for any meat lover to enjoy. The meatless or veggie lasagna had everyone raving over it. I planned to go back and try it but my tummy was full with the corner toasty piece of traditional lasagna. This is a great place to cater large events. We order both lasagnas on separate orders and with the busy holiday both items were not ready for pick up at the same time. Be sure to call in advance for your order to be ready for pick up. ”
“ Delicious Chinese Chicken Salad! Definitely have a pretty penny ready for it though. French toast tastes amazing! Service of the place is great; our waitress was very friendly. Parking is not very easy, but it's doable. I recommend trying this place once! ”
“ The food was awesomely dying in the dining room. The new remodel is amazing. Service was perfect. I only have one complaint. They have these fancy salt and pepper shakers on the table and it is so gross dirty. I don't even wanna touch it on the table next to me. ”
“ This was my first time coming to this particular restaurant and OMG it was so cute and quaint!! My brother and sister-in-law came here and said they have really good brunch and Boy where they right!! A lot of people were getting takeout items and apparently their construction/remodel just started the day before we arrived. Everything looked a little chaotic, but I guess they were pretty busy for a Sunday. I saw a number of customers walk by and then come back and ask if they were even open. After their response they were seated or got takeout! Lol I felt kind of bad for the employees working in such hard conditions, but they seemed to have everything pretty well organized even though they're walkway is a bit shorter and there's construction/plywood up all over the place as well as plastic tarps sectioning offered in areas. Lol we sat outside with our puppies and we were able to be seated and ordered/received our food within 10 minutes! I was actually a bit worried since I ordered the French toast and there was a sign on the menu stating it might take 15 minutes to make. I was very impressed with how speedy the service was!! I also wanted to order an iced coffee, but didn't get a chance to since the server seemed a little busy as well as the host who was trying to seat people and make sure the takeout customers were able to go inside to get their takeout, as well as dine in customers could get pastries from the takeout counter which was on the other side. It seemed as if they had two different registers inside, but maybe just getting into the swing of things or the new swing of temporary remodeling things caught the employees offguard? Nevertheless, I would love to go back to the place again and try more of their items since we loved the, fish tacos and the pecan crusted stuffed French toast! ”
