BP# 2 Comfort Restaurant

Comfort Restaurant

Comfort is a small restaurant located in Richmond, Virginia, which lives up to its name as it offers some of the most delicious "comfort" food, with a modern flair.  The restaurant’s website offers information about the chef and his background, as well as the location, phone number, and food and drink options that are available.  To read more about the restaurant, visit http://www.comfortrestaurant.com.

The website, like the restaurant, is modern.  Throughout the site, there are pictures of the food, the chef, the restaurant, and a few farm animals.  These pictures provide a more personal experience with the restaurant and the farm animal pictures hint at the country background of the chef.  The main page is displayed with a picture of the bar, which shows the bartender in motion and a patron seated at the bar.  The picture suggests a comfortable atmosphere rather than a perfect and posed-for situation.  Below the picture is the menu bar with a green background and yellow lettering.  Clicking each option will load a new page and display information.

The “home” link has a picture of a chicken behind the word home, which provides the farm life feel similar to the pig picture.  The “food” link displays a picture of a salad with sausage links on the right.  The left side of the page lists the food options that are available.  Clicking the “drink” link provides a short history lesson on the creation of bourbon whiskey.  Below the history of whiskey, the different brands of whiskey that are offered are listed.  The drinks can also be sorted by liquor, wine, or beer.  Information about the chef is located under “the chef” link.  A picture of chef Jason Alley and a description of his background is displayed.   

Overall, the website seems very personal and Chef Jason Alley has provided the down home, comfortable experience that he sought out.  The site is very welcoming and reflects the restaurant’s atmosphere and background.  Navigation is straightforward and the site provides all information that a user would seek.
