Came to The Continental on a recommendation, and this place did not disappoint!! This HAS to be one of the BEST places we've ever eaten - the food was exceptional, the wine and cocktail pairings were spot on, and the service simply can't be beat. Been a long time since we've been in such a great place. We will definitely be back!!

A group of 8 of us (including one little under 3) dined there for a birthday dinner last night. We each had a cocktail of some sort, appetizer, main and dessert and every single dish was was perfect. If you are looking for some incredible food, with beautiful presentation, this is the place. Cocktails were good too! Other highlights: the table side Caesar salad and the table side flambé desserts. We also really appreciated them being so accommodating of us having a toddler with us. They made a special pasta for her. Very attentive service too. Thank you for a great meal!

My husband and I went for dinner for his birthday and had an absolutely wonderful evening. This is a small business run by a husband and wife who are the sommelier and chef respectively. The service was fantastic, the food was amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were so full but everything was so good that we ate every last bite and sip. Thank you! We will be back!
