Susanna's Comfort Cuisine Bistro and Bar

Our group of three had a preconcert dinner here. We chose Susanna's because of the great reviews and proximity to the concert venue. We were immediately greeted and promptly seated. Then the owner explained the menu and daily specials. We asked about recommendations. He said the Lasagna was popular as was their Bolognaise. We ordered the Cuban Rice, Lasagna and Bolognaise. We also ordered their Downtown Salad. A few minutes after we place the order we were informed they were out of Lasagna. Out of Lasagna at 5PM? We changed the order to two Bolognaise. We received a selection of bread, hummus, and olives. Then the salads came out. These were very good, a tasty twist to dinner salads. The Bolognaise was nothing special. It did not taste like the slow cooked bolognaise sauce that I was expecting. The dish appeared to be quickly assembled with cut pasta (a fail in my book), a red soupy cream sauce and precooked beef and sausage. Not a Bolognaise I have ever had. The Cuban Rice was delicious (definitely tastier than the Bolognaise), it had a nice meld of flavors. The service was attentive. Our waters were keep filled. The owner and waitstaff were pleasant.

We loved our time here. The food was outstanding! The kids had spaghetti and meatballs, I had the bolognese and my husband had the carbonara. Everything was delicious! Ben, the owner, is super helpful and will help you decide on what to order. His wife, Susanna, is the chef and did a fantastic job! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the downtown Colorado Springs area.

Nous avons choisi ce restaurant car il était proche de notre hôtel et ce fut une belle découverte. Les plats préparés par la cheffe étaient excellents. D'ailleurs, sur un séjour de trois jours, nous y sommes allés deux fois. Je le recommande.

The service is great, and the food was very good. The menu had a an amazing variety of options. All those that we tried were first rate

As always, a fine experience. We love this place and often share it with friends because the menu includes something for everyone. It's our go-to for any occasion, including "I want good food but I don't want to cook" nights. Highly recommend!

Suzanne's has great personal service accompanied by unique menu items found nowhere else...Prices/ambiance are great...Always worth a visit in convenient downtown.

Such wonderful food made by and served by remarkable and friendly owners! And a simple but classy interior to complement the intricate and amazing foods! What a wonderful birthday dinner!

I really wanted to like this cute place but it took a long time (almost 50 minutes) to get food and the portions were appetizer size. I had the chicken tajine and it was one small leg and one small thigh over bland rice. My guest loved the lasagna but it was only about 5 bites. Cuban rice was served in a side dish. Owners were obviously overwhelmed. By the time we got food, I had to ask for the check since we had an event 1.5 hours after our reservation, which they obviously weren’t prepared for since they said it would be a minute while they pushed two tables together to seat the three of us. Sorry, but I won’t be recommending.

Mashed potatoes with the filet were cold. Chicken tagine is wonderful. Starter basket is odd. Do one or the other. Bread or Mediterranean.

I do not like writing less than 5 reviews, but I just wanted to give feedback. We are from out of town, and found this place via reviews. We had high expectations from this restaurant, as the reviews were so high. They were nice enough to seat us though we didn't have a reservation. The man behind the bar was attentive and very nice. However, soon things went really downhill. I was asking about the menu, and the server was a bit short with me and said they needed time before taking my order since the kitchen was stressed out. But, I was not oredering, simply asking about dishes. We waited about 30 minutes for our food, and it came out very poorly made. All of our eggs did not taste right. My waffle was supposed to have fresh strawberries and not one strawberry was on it. It was also not cooked all the way. Meanwhile, my eggs were waaay overcooked. My son's potatoes were burnt. My friend's croissant was burnt. Also, the service was not super amenable, so we just let it go and left. My son got sick to his stomach about 15 minutes after leaving. Overall, not a fun end to our vacay weekend.

We went here for Sunday Brunch. The food was delicious. Everything was fresh. There were so many different flavors but they complemented each other well. I got the Taos Omelet. I have never tasted anything like it before, everything had its own flavor. The potatoes were cooked perfectly. The prices were reasonable. The portions were just enough. The service was good. will definitely come back again.

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday. This place popped up on the map when I was looking for restaurants, and the pictures of the food looked delicious! We were greeted immediately and felt very welcome. The service was great, we loved that we could hold a conversation without having to speak loudly over music, and the food was incredible! We will definitely come back! Thank you for an amazing experience!!
