Comfort, the new reasonably priced American comfort-food spot on a second-floor perch overlooking Watertown Square, boasts that its mac 'n' cheese is 'better than your Momma's'; whether or not that's true, it can lay claim to something your childhood home didn't have – a black granite bar populated by après-work locals; the dining room offers a more intimate setting with white tablecloths, flickering candlelight and terra-cotta–colored walls.
