I recently attended a dinner in one of the private dining spaces and it was absolutely fantastic! The dining space was formerly a law office and it had a very intimate, homey feel. The staff at Comodo made the night very special, from the impeccable service to the thoughtfully curated menu.

Saw the chef advertising this place on CBS Saturday morning so my buddy and I thought we’d give it a try since we were coming to NY from Texas anyway. Our waitress came, took our order and we never saw her again. I called over the assistant manager who was working the bar and he served and waiting on us the rest of the evening even paying for our dessert. He was really great!!! We were not especially impressed with the food choices we got but it killed the hunger and that’s what mattered.

Guess what? I just found out that Comodo’s has a HIDDEN dining room! We were taken there through the kitchen. What a great experience. And let me tell you, the dinner started with a bang! The sourdough bread with herb butter is a must-try! The salad with some kind of minty dressing was phenomenal. I love when restaurants make simple things taste amazing! All the dishes were super awesome, and the service was like, the best ever! Did I tell you, there was also a private martini bar just for our party?! Big shoutout to Alex, Etthian, and Ceasar for making our night unforgettable!

My friends & I spent our monthly supper club in the speak-easy style private dining room underneath the restaurant called "Shlomo's" (in a former hidden law office). It was an absolutely unforgettable night. The service was impeccable, and we felt so taken care of from the moment we walked in the door, food was delicious (even made accommodations for people with allergies), and the vibe was amazing. We felt like we had a space that was made just for our own private dinner party. It's truly a one-of-a-kind space you can only find in New York City, and a night we will never forget. The restaurant upstairs is also gorgeous and I can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner.

We had a wonderful experience in the private dining room at Comodo. Think speakeasy meets wine cellar. It was intimate, delicious and the service was great. Definitely recommend for a private group!

The short version: good ambiance with slow, poor service and just ok food.Long version:I'm really disappointed with my valentines day dinner at Comodo NYC. I'm familiar with their sister restaurant Colonia Verde and was excited for flavorful meals with intentional atmosphere. I got the opposite, which was an embarrassing valentines day choice, that took 3.5 hours to escape.The restaurant itself is beautiful and cozy, nod to its name. However, to deeply understaff on a day like valentines day... a poor choice, at best, and it was felt immediately as it took about 5 mins for our server to say "hello" and that he'd be right back. My partner and I waited for 10 minutes and were eventually helped by the hostess who took our preliminary order.My partner opted for the the pre-fixe menu: oysters (delicious, quick service), scallops (just ok, similar service), fish (slow-to-come out good fish with underwhelming and cold cabbage side, with a flavorless sauce), and chocolate cake (overwhelming artificial cherry-flavored with dash of chocolate - one bite was enough to know not to continue).I ordered from the main menu: pao de queijo (good but uncomparable with homemade, paired with a Chipotle sauce which was just weird), delicate squash (just ok, slightly cold - as if it sat out awhile before reaching our table), the pork belly arepa (delicious, the only thing I would eat again on purpose), and finally, the duck (its own tribulation).The duck I was served was cold on first bite, the sauce with it was colder. We informed the hostess (as we could not flag our server for most of our meal) and, after she talked with the kitchen, we were told that the duck and sauce were meant to be room temperature. It was not only condescending, but irrelevant as the dish was cold. They offered to either put that same dish in the oven to be over-cooked or give a new one, to which I opted for the latter. The replacement was served medium-rare (good) with sauce (cold, forgettable) on the side with salt. It was acceptable to eat but for the price? Absolutely underwhelming.We sat for several minutes, maybe 10-15 after we ate our mains, waiting for the server to offer the dessert pre-fixe options. When he eventually returned, he brought the main menu - clearly forgetting that my partner got the pre-fixe. The pre-fixe choice was the chocolate cake I mentioned earlier and after one taste, we burst into laughter because... of course.I had to physically get up and ask for the check after 15 minutes. It took another 10 to receive the check, which had 3 completely random items on it. I had to physically get up again to tell our server due to the wait and it took even more minutes to fix.In total, it took 3.5 hours to complete the experience (7p - 10:30p).Overall, it was an embarrassing night out and it was a big waste of money (and worse, time), as the quality didn't reach expectations. Never recommending.In the wise words of Randy, "It's a no for me, dawg."

the place itself is very cute but the food and service ruined my valentine’s day. for the most part the food is nothing to write home about - although to be fair the chili crisp oysters and the pork belly arepa were both delicious. but due to the service being abysmal and them not really having enough staff to serve all their tables efficiently a lot of my food was cold. when i sent back a dish for being unacceptably cold the waitress came back to try and tell me it was meant to be “room temperature” and they could cook it more but it would overcooked. it was room temperature if the room in question was a refrigerator lol. the whole back and forth about it felt condescending bc it was very clear to me that it had sat out and got cold because of the extremely slow service. we literally got there at 7 and didn’t leave until 10:30 because how slow the service was and had to get up to get a waiters attention several times. the cherry on top is that when we finally got our check it was completely wrong. i wouldn’t ever return here. waste of money

Loved our meal and the whole ambiance! Our family shared the pork taco platter, guacamole, churro donuts and crème brûlée. Food was unique, carefully prepared with excellent flavor. High quality food. Love the vibe and decor. Very comfortable to enjoy your time. Hip but not uncomfortably trendy. Server was so sweet.
