Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cafe Continental Restaurant in Manhasset is a true gem, praised for its "impeccable service" and "amazing food." The welcoming atmosphere makes diners feel at home, with standout staff members like Robert and owner James. Although the ambiance could be improved, the "fantastic" food and drinks more than compensate.

    Very consistent dining with attentive service and a great atmosphere that makes it feel like home. James, the owner, is ever present and Robert is exceptional. Cheech, Jose & the rest of the staff all make you feel comfortable. Try it............you'll like it!

    After moving to Key West Florida during Covid and returning to my old stomping grounds for a couple of weddings, I sought out old friendships at my favorite dining spot and it was a pleasure to see that Cafe Continental is as great as it’s always been. Familiar faces, each stellar at their jobs making the customer feel great. Hats off to Pete at the bar, Don Robert, Cheech, Gaetano, and the owner James. We all had a great meal, just like all the times before. If you’re in Manhasset or nearby, CC is the place to be for a great dining experience. Highly recommend.

    Define hidden gem - excellent food and service. Ambiance could be nicer - a little drab and dates but the food makes up for it!
