This was our second time dining at Courtney's Continental Cuisine and just like the first time, the experience was amazing. We were a large group of 8 on a Friday, enjoying ladie's night. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our server, Ken, was exceptional! He was very attentive, checked on us multiple times, knowledgeable of the menu and specials, and always had a smile. The food was delicious, from the bread and herbed oil, tasty cocktails, to the scrumptious appetizers and entrée. We are definitely making Courtney's our go to ladie's night restaurant.

Friendly service with a laugh and smile. All food is made fresh in house and is delicious. The crabs cakes were all meat! The fish special was unique (triple tail and shrimp with sweet chili and Thai peanut sauce). Other orders included the chicken franchise and veal saltimbocca. It was all worth coming back for.

Courtney’s Continental Cuisine is a great restaurant with an eclectic menu that is sure to have something to please everyone in your party. We would actually like to keep it a secret, but they really have earned this review. From the host to the owner and chef Dale, you will feel welcome at Courtney’s. Don’t let the storefront exterior fool you, Courtney’s delivers a wonder dining experience. It is casual but very professional, which is a difficult balance to achieve.

Food, wine, and cocktails….not in that order.

Cocktails- martinis, old fashioned, or mixed drinks- we enjoyed every different libation that Liz and Holly prepared for us. Great service if you enjoy visiting or eating at the bar. They are attentive without being intrusive, friendly and very welcoming. Liz was there most nights when we visited and we feel like we made a wonderful friend. We enjoyed the bar for before dinner aperitifs, dining, and after dinner drinks. The Espresso Martinis were standouts.

Food- wow! Wonderful appetizers, entrees, and, honestly, I don’t know about the desserts. We were always too well fed to enjoy one, but regular customers rave about them. The staff were all terrific. We really enjoyed Danny taking care of our experience in the dining room. He immediately seems like a friend or your younger brother. Everyone was so very nice and accommodating. I love all types of food, and I have had the privilege to eat in many fine dining restaurants around the world. I have visited many, many fine steakhouses. I would put Courtney’s cuts up against any of them. It is the flavors and the sauces that set Courtney’s preparations apart from so many other restaurants. Try their Filets, Veal, or Chicken dishes and you will walk away a believer!
They have the best duck dish I have ever eaten!
Fantastic Filets and other cuts.
We had pasta dishes, apps, salads, and most of the items on the menu. There is not a dish we have tried there (bringing multiple guests along) that we would not hesitate to recommend!

Wine- a succinct but very fine wine list at extremely reasonable prices. Ask the team, they will point you towards the right bottles for your party!

The Winner?

The Black and Blue Porkchop! This dish deserves it’s own review…
I have never been a big fan of pork chops. Too often they are just unexciting if not tending towards the dry and chewy side of the spectrum. Courtney’s Black and Blue Pork Chop is not only the tastiest pork dish I have ever had; it is one of the top three entrees I have had anywhere! First of all it moist and tender. (Trust the chef’s recommendation on the temperature, please!). It is so flavorful that I could not stop ordering it (literally 8’out of 12 visits we made over the last 4 weeks). It is like an addictive drug it is so tasty! I skipped the starch and would get the vegetable of the day and they were always perfectly cooked like broccoli, green beans, etc. The standout for me was their asparagus. A vegetable I don’t seek out at most restaurants because I am too often disappointed with the result. Courtney’s asparagus was as fine as I have had anywhere. Slightly crisp, but super tender and absolutely delicious.

We are leaving town tomorrow after a month long visit, and I will miss this restaurant immensely. Read the reviews and believe them. We did, and found one of our favorite restaurants of all time, anywhere!

Courtney’s Continental Restaurant cuisine is worthy of a visit whether you are local from Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, Naples, or Vermont! Chef Dale and his crew do an amazing job. We highly, highly recommend Courtney’s Continental Cuisine. Don’t miss out, visit Courtney’s no matter where you are, they will not disappoint!!

The food was enjoyable to the degree that I had no bad feelings about the menu prices. I don't eat out a lot but I would certainly come back here the next time the opportunity to eat out arises. All the stuff that I had interactions with were very friendly. Never having been here before both my GPS and I had difficulty locating it. It's worth searching for.

I’ve been here several times excellent excellent food and the servings are not small a lot to take home. He must be a five star chef because we asked him if he could do steak au povire which most chefs are not even aware of, and his was to die for. Last time we were here we had Steak Diane with filet and it was just incredible. We split it because there was just so much and they do a plate special for people that can’t eat a lot. Perfect for us. This place is a hidden gem. The staff is wonderful the service great you’re missing out if you don’t visit this wonderful little haven.
