Was a very romantic memorable evening. Excellent service and remarkable food. Highly recommended
Comme toujours, ce ne fut pas qu'un souper. Ce fut une expérience culinaire ! Nous avons adoré le "voyage gystatif" en Toscane avec le parage de vin.
We spent our 38th wedding anniversary here at a friend's suggestion & were delighted. we will be back. Our crab & lobster croquettes, Tournedos Rossini & Crepes Suzettes were delicious. as a bonus, the couple at the next table who we didn't know but chatted with briefly, secretly treated us to our dessert. Thank you so much to them if they read this. We would recommend you go there.

Enjoyed a wonderful 7 course tasting menu with my Canadian friends. We appreciated every single course. Squid ink pasta with sable fish, tender braised lamb and sticky toffee pudding were amongst our favorites. Flavors, textures and presentation are top-notch. Highly recommend.

Everything was absolutely delicious, and the meat was incredibly tender and juicy. The food is rich in flavor, which is something I’ve really missed since moving back from Europe.
Our waiter Vlad was extremely polite, attentive, and very helpful with recommendations. He checked on us at just the right moments, made thoughtful suggestions, and genuinely made the whole evening feel special.
I chose this place to celebrate our anniversary, and the experience fully lived up to my expectations for such a special occasion. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dinner and warm, attentive service

We have an amazing amazing Chef's tasting menu during New year's day with the whole friends and company. Small yet quaint room,required reservations specially some weekends or special occasions. We can't wait to go back February.

AMAZING! We had table side everything! Shotgun drinks, Caesar Salad (fresh and absolutely delicious), beef tartare (tres manufique), SABLE FISH ( WILL RETURN FOR THIS DISH OVER AND OVER), Beef Wellington, Chateaubriand and Banana Foster's. The Spiced Mojito and Lemon Drop Cocktails hit the spot. Small quaint place with great service and views. Definitely a gem!!!! Go, don't miss out, have a very special time and meal here.

This is not your big chain fancy decor restaurant, this is a locally owned restaurant that focuses on the food and the experience. Food is exceptional and Chef Dawn is a gem. Second time we took the 9 courses with pairing... had to be rolled out of there , so much food. Wine selections were complementing every bite. Make sure to reserve on weekends , it's a smaller intimate setting but adds to the charm. Looking for an excuse to go back soon.
We (all my friends/family we've taken there!) LOVE this restaurant. Eric and his staff never disappoint... in any way. The ambiance and music fit well and it is very pleasant venues. The menu is adequately extensive and several items are prepared table side...ie. salad/dessert! Eric can assist with great suggestions etc. and on offer also are ‘wine pairing menus”. It is always such a pleasure to dine at The Continental and Gluten Free is very recognized and catered to. Eric takes great care with his customers and loves his work. Thankyou again Eric for another lovely dining experience with our friends last evening. Lynn H.
Outstanding experience. Excellent food with some serious attention to details and flavour nuances. Service was very good - attentive but not overly so. Waitstaff weren't trying to be our best friends but were there to fulfill the service component. Reminded me of our Michelin experiences in France. Highly recommended.
I went here with my coworkers for our holiday party. We did the 5 course meal with wine pairing. The food and pairing were all great. It was an experience. I thought the service size was a bit small. The service was excellent.

My wife and I came here to celebrate my birthday and our dating anniversary. Eric (GM) and Chef Dawn (Restauranteur) made our evening spectacular, ensuring our dietary restrictions were taken care of and making the night as celebratory as can be. They regularly checked in to make sure everything was okay (coming from the head chef was extra special), while still giving my wife and I the space to enjoy our evening together. Overall, such an amazing evening.
