“Excellent waterfront dining. I have been twice with a group. The food is well prepared, seasoned and beautifully plated. India and outdoor seating make great options to catch the sunset. The inside space fills quickly on any given night, so the noise level means conversations can be tough if you're at a larger table, but 4 people or less would be fine for chatting. I recommend the lamb chops and the mushroom side.”
“Dear Como Team, Thank you for making our third anniversary dinner so special. My wife and I had a truly wonderful evening—everything from the warm hospitality to the exquisite food was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. We’ll definitely be back again.”
“I was so pleasantly surprised by this establishment. It’s classy but also delicious. Difficult to find a place that has both. We came with a group of 10 girls and reserved the private back room and the service was really nice. It was not rushed which was perfect for our birthday celebration. We had a variety of food and everything I tried was amazing. The truffle pasta was so delicious- the pasta itself was really delicate, creamy, perfect amount of truffle and just melts in your mouth. I was surprised but the brown butter Ravioli I forgot to take a photo of. The crispy prociotto and the brown butter married really well overall and I really enjoyed the dish. Overall serving sizes are on the smaller size - meant to be paired with an appetizer and dessert so keep in mind if you’re hungry.”
“🍝🫒🥖 - the food was fine. My saffron pasta was good but had too many flavors that dominated the saffron, ultimately drowning out that very delicate flavor. If they hadn't called it saffron (Pro Tip: add a healthy drizzle of the table's olive oil) it was a nice entree, and the side of toasted focaccia was good for the remaining sauce. Skip the strawberry dessert though. 🍽️ Service - this was an odd experience. So the hostess and everyone except for my actual waitress get 5 ⭐s. If I needed anything and my waitress wasn't available, everyone was happy to assist and they were all very friendly. My waitress seemed a bit "inconvenienced" by my presence? It also felt like she was rushing me out at the end. 🅿️ There's a garage and they validate your parking. Very convenient. ⛵🌊 View - this is the real reason to be here. I had a nice window side table with a beautiful view of the water on a nice sunny day. Overall, if it weren't for the possibility of getting the odd waitress again, I would consider going back.”
“I don’t typically leave negative reviews but I hope the management team takes a look at this and the experience will improve. The restaurant is beautiful and so are the views! The food is pretty good overall too. However, the server we had was rude and had attitude right of the bat. When we finally asked him to check on the dessert that we were waiting for 25 minutes (two scoops or gelato and a piece of pie) he snapped saying it was a hot busy day and if it’s not ready yet means it’s not ready yet instead of simply apologizing for the wait. I don’t know if he was having a bad day but it’s unacceptable and this kind of service makes me never want to return to a restaurant that I otherwise enjoyed.”
