This was an excellent choice for our annual tradition of going out to a nice restaurant on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious and the service was attentive without being overly done. We will definitely return in the future for special occasions.

Absolutely wonderful. Everything from the lobster bisque to the beef wellington and tournedos rossini was cooked to perfection. We've eaten in Michelin Star restaurants across Europe, and the food here was definitely on par.

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!!
