The food was amazing as it always is,our server had absolutely no personality. It was both of our birthday and the food and service has been the reason we always go to continental treat bistro to celebrate every year .They make it extremely special,not this year .We where seated at a table that was directly facing the door we had to wear our coats and scarves the whole time it was freezing. We didn't get our drinks or water till after we had we finished our appetisers.We both ordered the same mane coarse one was a significantly smaller portion.

We all had the Dill Pickle soup and thought it was wonderful. I loved the flavour of the Chicken Stroganoff - a very filling dish. Two people had the Schnitzel with the mushroom sauce and thought it was excellent. My husband had the Rouladen and really enjoyed it. Three of the guests had dessert and thought that was very good as well. We will be back.

This our go-to restaurant before the symphony or theatre because of its close proximity, but more importantly, because of the high quality meal we are consistently served. Sauerkraut soup, rouladen, cabbage roll and salted caramel cheesecake are our favourites. The coffee is amazing too!

We had a nice experience, including pleasant interactions with the personable greeter and an excellent waitress. The food was great, for the first time, I thought, matching what I have come to expect at the mother-ship Whyte Ave location. Generally, I prefer tables to booths to minimize disruptions during the sitting; however, we had a (comfortable) booth and I found disruptions more difficult than I prefer as we were on a tight timeline to make a show. CT is not inexpensive and I’d rate overall value/$ as only medium unless one has time to linger into an evening. The showtime fixed menu options are appreciated but when it is eat and run, there is not much opportunity to enjoy the ambiance, although this is something mostly under the control of diners wrt reservation time. The soup came quickly but there was more lag than was comfortable between the soup and main courses, leading to a forced rush for the glory wrt dessert.
