Beautiful restaurant, great vibe and atmosphere for a nice night out or business meal, attentive service, and fantastic food and flavors! I recommend the house bread and risotto; as well as the cornbread (either with the hot chicken or the tres leches dessert) - perfect texture. Had a memorable meal here and will return again.

Sorry to report that my hamburger which the waitress recommended was so heavily salted as to be almost inedible. I would have sent it back, but I was tired and wanted to go home to bed. The restaurant had an off smell like stale fry oil. Service was good. Other people seemed to be enjoying their meals. I might try it again, but not soon.

I have been across the United States and the world and love to eat in every new place. This is possibly the one of the absolute best drink, food and ambiance combos I have ever had. The beautiful green and gold aesthetic is to die for. Our steak was perfectly cooked and rivals Town Hearth in Dallas Texas, crunchy crust with a perfectly cooked medium rare interior. The drinks were all amazing!!! ask for the shipwreck if you want a truly Americana experience.

Just had a chance to try out the new lunch menu and it was awesome. Really great casual vibe, with elevated flavors and warm, attentive service. My wife had the World Famous Cubano and I had the AZ Hot Chicken, and both were excellent. The fries were top notch, but I thought the tomato bisque was lacking slightly compared to the other items. Bruschetta was on freshly-baked bread and absolutely hit the spot as an appetizer. Can’t wait to see how this menu evolves over time.
I love an open floor plan for this kind of restaurant, but one issue that usually happens is the decor is loud and the room echoes and the overall vibe feels loud and industrial. This place was the opposite. Everything felt intimate and cozy and ideal for conversation during lunch, despite open kitchen and open floor plan. Love it.

I loved our experience at The Continental. The service was great, our waitress was attentive even though she was quite busy! Most importantly, the food was incredible. We had the bruschetta, the poblano cubano, and the chicken sandwich. The cubano was nothing short of amazing. I'll be coming back just for that sandwich. The ambiance was classy and relaxed. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough.

If a place is hosting a private event you guys should have a not open sign to the public or put the info on the site saying not open. We walked in and were told this is a private event from not even by an employee, incredibly loud as well. Was excited to try it but I will not go back after driving 15 minutes to get there and just treated rudely by patrons there.

We had a great experience there. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with the music setting a nice tone. You can still talk and enjoy it in the background.
Slight wait to be greeted, for the experience and the market they aim to be in I would expect to be greeted by a dedicated host.
Waiter was fantastic and so was the food. Everything was perfectly cooked. We shared the smoked beet dip and the dates for small plates and the duck and trout for larger plates. Perfect cooking and was worth the prices. Zero complaints here.
Overall this was an enjoyable experience and with tip, drinks, dinner and dessert we were around $150-200 for two people. I recommend this place, leave the kids at home though and take enough time to enjoy the food and experience.
Truly disappointing! Don't think I've disagreed more w reviews ever than this, which makes me think something happened w the staff that night. The service was terrible, only 2 waiters for a Friday night, no music and the room felt empty even tho an entire bachelorette party was there! Beer and wine list has no good pairings w the menu A group got up and walked out after they saw how long we were waiting and the table next to us had under cooked chicken! Id get the trout for take out, if I had to go back.

We reserved a table at The Continental for a family birthday based on the many positive reviews it has received. However, our experience was nothing close to the reviews I read. We ordered two small plates as starters, two large plates and three small plates for our entrees for four people. Overall, the menu is very limited.
The Arizona chicken, while having a delicious flavor, was WAY overcooked (and I like my food well-toasted/seared/crusted) but the burned flavor took over the entire dish. The slaw that came with it was delish, but the cornbread was terrible. The bison meatballs ordered were also overcooked. The guac with beets were fantastic, and the bacon-wrapped dates had a delicious sauce, but were overcooked and tough.
The prices were very high for the food quality and quantity. The service was midland at best (though the personal birthday note on arrival was a nice touch). Normally, I am happy to pay a premium for food in the culinary space that this restaurant is trying to achieve, however, with the very few wins on the acceptable scale, our entire group concluded that the overcooked food, meager portions and the high prices had us rating the restaurant a 4/10 at best.
Additionally, the space is so loud that we were having to lean close over the table all night long and shout to each other just to be heard.
Needless to say, we will not be back.

I had my birthday celebration here. The food, ambiance, and service was delicious and top notch! We ordered six different meals and basically inhaled our food, 10/10 recommend to anyone! I really appreciated vegan options for my friends and diverse menu options. I loved that the restaurant has a bar, upstairs and downstairs seating. The pricing is very reasonable for professional chef quality. Truly, this community is lucky to have this high quality restaurant to dine in at. I'll definitely will be back!

Food was overall mid, considering the price I'd never go back. The Arizona Hot Chicken was by far the best thing we had, but the cornbread that came with it was bone dry and the coleslaw was bland. The brownie was catastrophically bad, imagine a literal brick 🧱 with the smallest amount of raspberry compote dribbled on top. It tasted like an expired protein bar. It's obvious they aren't preparing their baked products fresh from that and the cornbread. It was absolutely disgusting. If it weren't for the chicken, one star ⭐️ but at least they served something that tasted good. Not at all worth the $88 we spent.

This was an experience! Yes it's a little more expensive, but worth it. We started with the house bread, which when it came was tiny, and the best flatbread and dipping sauce I think I've ever had! I would actually order it again despite the price. I ordered the house hamburger which was a half pound patty with bacon and all the fixins and done as a lettuce wrap/bed of lettuce. Ordered it medium and it actually came out medium. Bravo! My wife ordered the Arizona hot chicken which is a fried chicken with a spicy sauce. Normally don't like fried chicken, this is exceptional. Our meal and all the sauces were exploding with flavor. The ambiance is fantastic.
Our server was Brett, who did an incredible job attending to our every need and very personable. I would highly recommend the Continental here in Provo Utah.
