Best Comfort Food Restaurants in East Colfax

Dining at Mezcaleria Alma for my partner’s birthday was such a treat for the both of us. The entire team was attentive yet gave appropriate space. Everyone was excited about what they were serving us, from cocktails, mezcal, to each plate. We loved everything we ate. It was delicious and thoroughly enjoyable, not just a beautiful presentation or cool experience (which each plate still was). Definitely recommend Mezcaleria Alma for its thoughtfully curated food, drink, environment, and service.

We had a great experience at Acova this evening. First off, I was very impressed with their reservation system. I initially made the res. Online for early this evening but due to a change in plans had to push it back. I called the restaurant knowing it wasn't open yet and that it might not get answered. I left a voicemail requesting the new res. time. I assumed I would need to call again later in the day to confirm the change but within 3 minutes I received a confirmation email with the res. change (still before the restaurant was even open for the day). Our server was amazing! We brought our two young kids and she was very engaging and accommodating (getting kids food in first, split plates, etc.) She had great menu knowledge and didn't steer us wrong with recommendations. Food was delicious, cocktails were amazing! We'll definitely be back! Menu recommendations: spicy mezcal margarita, beef short rib risotto, crab cakes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another great lunch at Culinary Dropout. Service is consistent and pleasant and timely, and the menu is so varied I can always try something new. Thank you, we will be back.

The chicken pot pie was delicious, big enough to feed two people. French onion soup had plenty of onions done just right and we liked the entree sized house salad. A great lunch for two people priced under $55 including the 4% surcharge for back-of-house staff. The vibes from staff— servers, expediters, hostess and bartender — were all very positive

Great atmosphere, food was amazing! Will definitely be going back!!
