Susanna's Comfort Cuisine Bistro and Bar

Their Gumbo was bland and spiceless; I was expecting a dish packed with flavors and spices, but it was a runny bland bowl, which for the price was quarter full. The tenderloin, although it was tender, it was covered in ground peppercorns; in fact, the whole dish was covered in pepper that my partner could not finish his meal due to the too much pepper; the masher potatoes were basic and bland too and the broccoli and carrots were crunchy, so undercooked. We were expecting to be wowed by the food so we can add a place to get dinner every now and then, but this place is not it. Their tap water tasted really horrible, like straight out the kitchen faucet. The male owner was nice and pleasant and so was the waitress, but this place could be better if the food had flavor and something unique, delicious and exotic. Overall, good service but food needs work; we might give it another try for the pasta dishes but not anytime soon.

Six of us all had amazing meals last night. The hospitality shown to made us feel like we had been welcomed into Susanna’s home! The portions were generous. Honestly the best hummus I have ever had! Those who had the pasta raved about it. I had the Chicken Tagine - fabulous! And those of us who are gluten free, it was wonderful surprise at an Italian restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food!! This place is decorated so tastefully too. Our group got one coconut stir fry with Italian sausage, and one with shrimp, the Alfredo, and bolognese. All were incredible. Owners were friendly and totally welcoming, and even suggested locations to visit (as we are visitors to Colorado). I’d totally recommend this place!

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.

EXCELLENT SERVICE
AWESOME FOOD
My wife and I had a reservation to dine here while in Colorado Springs.
Let me tell you - very kind persons are working here! Susanna Risberg chef, her husband Ben runs the restaurant, and Aspen helps taking orders and serves the food. What a nice team. You can tell that they love doing this and to give you an excellent experience.
The menu offers many interesting dishes - including specials. And the beverage menudos very nice too, offering wines, cocktails, drinks and soft drinks. Basically all you need.
The food tasted absolutely awesome - and our Beef Tenderloin was made to perfection.
An absolute visit when in town.

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.

Great brunch spot! Locally owned with great service! The breakfast food was delicious.

A group of 7 of us had Father’s Day brunch at Susanna’s and had a great experience. The food and service were top notch. Ben, the owner, made sure we were well taken care of which his team already had well in hand. I’m looking forward to a return trip soon.

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.
