   Fun atmosphere, great vibes, service was a bit slow but understandable given the place was packed.

   First and last time. Service is horrible and I mean that. I do understand that sometimes it gets a bit busy but there weren’t that many people in the restaurant. I took nearly 30 mins to be offered water at the table. When we finally got water we asked to put in our order. Food came nearly 45 mins later but it was wrong. Waitress didn’t know where to bring the food. Finally the beverage ordered came after the food. Food was not good, was cold, flavorless, and to be quite honest I was not impressed. As a new business I don’t expect everything to be perfect but last night was nothing short of horrible. I wont come back again but I do wish for them to get it together.

   The service at this establishment is abysmal. We weren’t greeted until about 30 minutes later and then our server disappeared after taking our order. We didn’t receive our food until an hour and 45 minutes after ordering. The food was good but I wouldn’t say it was worth the time. I was glad we were able to experience this for one time and would not return.

   The night started off great but quickly took a turn. It took 3 hours for my table of 3 to be served our food from a fixed menu! We had to ask numerous times for the appetizers, salad, entree and dessert! Given it was Valentine’s Day, you had a fixed menu! We waited 1 1/2 hour for a salad. But the kicker that made me never want to patronize this establishment again, one of the owners walked by, his name was Tony, I proceeded to ask him what was going on with the service and he walked away mid sentence! Literally walked away from a customer asking about service when we had a $400 plus tab, 3 people at $90 per person for a fixed menu! After the shock wore off, our minds were made up! The Continent won’t see another dime from any of us!! The music was great, food was decent, but the service was beyond horrible!

   This was my second visit, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first! The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. The consistency in quality and hospitality makes this place stand out. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience!”

    We went relatively early for lunch so it was very quiet. The restaurant is beautiful displaying African artwork and at every corner. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. We will definitely be returning for the evening vibe one day in the future.
