Food is good, almost nobody there, waitress is as good. But thennnnn…..we saw a mouse running around multiple times!!!!!!!!!!
I noticed the same thing in another review. We told the waitress but she didn’t seemed surprised. Really sad because my grandmother loves this place, but can’t get over that.

My dad chose The Continental for his 70th birthday celebration. Despite telling him he could choose anywhere, he stuck with this restaurant (over the Capital Grille!) because it’s been his favorite for years and the nostalgic vibes it offers. However, our experience left much to be desired. Upon seating, my husband was handed a menu with notably lower prices, which our server suggested dated back to 1952. My dad ordered the crab cakes, which were listed on both menus, but we were informed they were no longer available. Fine, we thought. Our meal arrived, and it was disappointingly average. Mid-meal, my husband caught sight of a mouse scurrying across the dining area, and we were all shocked. When we raised our concerns to the server, she nonchalantly mentioned that the mice live in the walls and tend to appear when the restaurant is quiet. During our visit on a Friday night at 7, we were one of only four occupied tables, suggesting the mice are a regular presence. Subsequently, my brother and husband witnessed another mouse. A server that was walking by laughed and made a comment that she didn’t want to know what we just saw. To add to the unsettling atmosphere, I then saw a different mouse darting through the dining room. I told our server it was unacceptable that we were sitting there dining and surrounded by mice on my dad's special day. She mentioned the mice have been a problem that they have not been able to fix. Despite the underwhelming quality of the food, we were presented with a $200 bill for our meal in a mouse-infested environment. I felt sad for my dad, who specifically chose this place for his celebration. It’s safe to say that we will never return to The Continental and I will be contacting the board of health regarding the hazardous conditions at the restaurant.
LOVE this restaurant!! I have never been to any restaurant like this. WHILE you are looking at the menu. the waiter brings you hot popovers. You devour the wonderful popovers, return to the menu, and suddenly the waiter is there again serving you warm beignets (small little donuts from New Orleans) with raspberry sauce. You slurp those up, and return to the menu once again. All of a sudden, the waiter is at your table, this time with crackers and bean dip. Honestly, by the time you have placed your order, you've already eaten quite a bit of food! This is all included in the price and served to every table. We thought the food was great - delicious home cooking. For all of us budget-conscious folks, there are also nightly early bird specials (get your order in by 6:30 Mon - Fri, 5:30 on Sat). Included with your dinner is a drink and dessert, all for $19.95. This is now our go-to restaurant for a great meal with family and friends. The waitstaff is wonderful. Highly recommended!

Food was good. Extra brought to the table were good.
4 adult meals all came out cold. The cheeseburger for 3 year old was apparently fine. Service painfully slow which probably explains the cold food Pieces of plastic wrap in potatoes tells me a lot of food is prepared well ahead of time (days probably).even coffee at end of meal was cold. So bad we decided not to even bother to say anything. They have to know it’s awful Not surprised if it goes the way of Angelica’s soon

We used to go here once a month until the Pandemic hit. Who can resist those Pop Overs & Corn Fritters in that Red Syrup sauce (Delicious) So this was our 1st time back since. The food seems to have lowered it quality. It just seemed like all around they had to lower there standards to keep the doors open. I got the Prime Rib it was good but had a ton of salty Flavor I am not sure if the salt was from the Auju or on the Rib. My wife got the Seafood dish. She said it was Good nothing special. We said we will give it another try in a few weeks to see if it was just A off Day (Which we all have). I will write another review after our next trip
