I had an AMAZING time at Continent Brooklyn so I just have to tell you all. When I say the food was SCRUMPTIOUS and the drinks were not just beautiful but perfectly crafted - I am not exaggerating.The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. And the ambiance…. Where do I start?! Every setting from the time we entered was its own vibe. This spot is simply perfection! Can not wait until my next visit!

We decided to have a girls' night out and celebrate 35 years of friendship. The Continent
did not disappoint. Entering the restaurant, the greeting of the hostess was very pleasant. Once we were seated, our waiter came over quickly. Since this was our first time at the restaurant, the waiter was very helpful and very informative. He made great recommendations from food to drinks.
To start, we had lobster fried rice, pepper prawns, and tamarind wings. The lobster fried rice and the pepper prawns are definitely a repeat act. Those 2 starters are very good and a must-have. The wings were a little tough and dry. We were a little disappointed.
For the entrees, we had braised lamb shank and pan seared salmon. The lamb lacks season but very tender. The salmon was good.
We had no complaints about the drinks. The cocktails are good, and the mocktails are wonderful.
At the end of the meal , we had the pleasure of meeting Aliya. To our surprise, she was the owner. It was good to see a young black female owner. She was very nice and welcoming.
So if you are looking for a beautiful restaurant in brooklyn with great ambiance, great service and great food this is the place for you. We can't wait to return to try other options on the menu.

I stopped by the Continent to visit a friend who was staying at the hotel and had such a wonderful dining experience. I was first taken aback by how chic and warm the decor was. I ordered the oysters and a bottle of white wine. Both did not disappoint! Oysters were fresh and the wine paired perfectly. We then ordered a round of drinks. I had the Berry Bramble and it was absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to return!

firstly, this place is stunning. when we walked in, it was so quiet in such an elegant way. the place was pretty full, but there was no loud blaring music which i appreciated. it felt like such an upscale and intimate dining experience *because* it was so quiet.
the velvet seating was a nice touch, too. they’re soft and cushy, and they suck you in to a cozy, comfortable world as you get ready to indulge in the rich flavors awaiting you.
we ordered a lot, and every dish was exquisite. the tamarind wings are a must - just do it. the oysters were so decadent! and the prawns - bury me in that sauce, please. please.
we also ordered the tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection with the most flavorful crust. highly recommend if you can swing it. the salmon with calaloo gnocchi was something i’d never had before but will certainly dream about having again. the fried egg on top of the oxtail fried rice was a great touch because, well, who doesn’t love a fried egg?! and, okay, wow, the brussels sprouts really surprised me because i never knew brussels sprouts could be so delicious.
for dessert, we had the mango passion fruit mousse and - omg - it was light, tart, and a great end cap to our stunning meal. the cocktails were also wonderful; i got a sweet one with whiskey and one with tequila and peach. i recommend both.
i cannot say enough good things about this place! and i actually can’t wait to go back because they were out of the oxtail bao and i can’t go on living not knowing what that tastes like. thank you to chef, rick, and aliya for making my best friend’s birthday such an outstanding night to remember!!

This was such a gem! From the ambiance to the customer service. The drinks were really good. I had sunsets over Williamsburg which was sweet and my wife had scotchies which was a bit smoky and spicy but really good and my friend had the stush martini. Now let’s get into the food! The yard oysters!?!?! My goodness. Really good! The oxtail bao was good the oxtail was succulent and juicy. For my mains I had the oxtail lo mein and my wife had the lobster burger and my friend had the escovitch lobster. I gave a it a 4 because we weren’t a fan of the yucca fries but Everything so good and filling. I would definitely come back here!

What a nice surprise! The venue is welcoming and offers an intimate vibe. Service is friendly and professional. We stopped in for evening conversation over drinks and a beautiful coconut lemon cake (split one in half). The drinks were great (see photos). The presentation of the cake was superb. A work of art (see photo). It tasted good too, clearly freshly created in the kitchen. It reminded me of some of the beautiful baked goods I used to enjoy while living in Austria. The Continent clearly values creativity and beauty. It isn’t cheap, but it is a perfect venue for an intimate night out. It is a nice option for guests staying at the Indigo Hotel too as they are attached.
