Carribbean fusion resturant tucked away inside of Hotel Indigob in Williamsburg. It is nicely decorated and had a few patrons when we arrived. There was a party being held in the next room so it was a bit louder than i would think is the norm...I was excited to taste the flavors of the caribbean however our dishes fell short. We ordered the peppered shrimp with coco bread...the shrimp was ok, no heat to it in spice nor temperature. The sauce was cool something that would pair well with mussels. The co co bread was completely soggy..I would of loved if it was served outside the sauce and more crunchy. The salmon with calaloo gnocchi was ok as well..also lacking salt n pepper....the sauce for this dish did not stand out either. The burgers were ok...however we chose that just because it was the safer option. Im hoping to I went there on a bad execution day. However, the drinks were top teir. Service was meh..just enough to take our orders and drop the bill

Three Cheese Mac
Channelle R.

Celebrated a birthday tonight with my sisters. We had a great time! This was my second time coming and I enjoyed both times. The place is small but the ambiance is great! The music is always on point and the server was super friendly and attentive. The food was as good as the time before but for some reason it cost a bit more than last time. I was not a big fan of what seemed like a price increase. For starters, we had the Tamarind Wings, Pepper Prawns and Shrimp Mandu. All were super good! For entrees, we had two Scotch Bonnet Fried Chickens and Lobster Burger. The chicken was really good and still good the next day. It was a good enough portion that I was able to take some home and eat for lunch the next day. I didn't try the Lobster Burger but the only comment heard was that the two patties were a bit too much. For sides, we had the Three Cheese Mac and the Lobster Fried Rice. The fried rice came with an egg which we asked to have fried. Both the rice and Mac and cheese were so well cooked. Yummy! As a complimentary treat we had the Mango Passionfruit Mousse and a round of shots for the birthday girl. I didn't love the mousse but did give it a try. There are a few things still left on the menu that I would like to try so I do see myself going back!

Oaxaca gyal - recommend  Caribbean ting - slightly artificial taste

Food was really good. Space was nice -- went for dinne, it is dark inside-- not a lot of lighting. Service was good and cocktails were good.

Oxtail Fried Rice
Marie T.

Loved it! The restaurant is located on the main floor of the hotel, which is pretty cool. When we arrived, the hostess was nonexistent for about 10 minutes. After we were seated, our waiter also took a little while, but since it was a Saturday, we understood. The music was good, just pretty loud, so we found ourselves repeating things during conversation. The menu was detailed, the drink were tasty, and the food was delicious. Portions are on the smaller side, so if you have a big appetite, you might want to order extra. The oxtail lo mein was different but so delicious--I could've easily had two orders. I tried my brother's oxtail fried rice and that was yummy too. I definitely plan on going back to try more items from the menu. I also loved that they had a photographer--it gave us a chance to get a group picture we probably wouldn't have taken otherwise.

This was my second time at the continent and had another great time. I think this restaurant is perfect for birthday dinners as it feels elevated but the price point isn't too high. While I was waiting for my friends I got a passion fruit margarita at the bar and it was well mixed. I also asked the bartender what gluten free options they had on the menu and he told me only the salad. However, once we sat down, I asked the waitress and she listed a bunch of options and accommodations. So I'm not exactly sure of their gluten free options. My celiac isn't as severe as others and we were sharing so I only had small portions and didn't experience any reactions. However, if you have a more severe case I would probably air on the side of caution and only get the salad. So of the food that the waitress said I could have, we ordered the mussels, lobster fried rice and the salad. My favorite was actually the salad because it was so fresh and had avocado in it. My second were the mussels which were very tasty. My least favorite was the lobster fried rice as it was a bit mushy and salty. In terms of the atmosphere, it is a very well decorated restaurant with ample space and two floors. They appear to have an outdoor space as well for the warmer months. The waitress was very friendly and even brought my friend a free birthday dessert. It's also in a great location in Williamsburg near other bars and restaurants. They also have a separate bar upstairs on the roof and a lobby bar as part of the Indigo Hotel.

Lychee martini
Toshonie W.

I needed somewhere to dine for my birthday last minute. I found this gem and was glad that I did. The ambiance was beautiful dimly lit and such a nice vibe when I walking in. Food: I ordered their Salmon & Yucca Fries and EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. Salmon fresh seasonings and garnishes were so GOOD. not over powering but amazing. I also ordered a Lychee Martini and it was great as well. Service: All the staff including my my waiter Jesus were phenomenal , attentive and so kind. Due to it being my birthday they blessed me with a cake and drink on the house. I mean I felt so special and grateful. I will definitely be returning ! The live DJ was A1. If you're looking for great food and customer service I would recommend this spot for birthday or date night, or for a nice dinner.

Dessert and champagne
Elizabeth P.

Came back for a second time with my husband to celebrate 27 yrs together and wow! Really love this place! Music good service drinks all consistent with my last review. This time we were seated upstairs! So pretty upstairs and I already can see me coming back to celebrate my bday this time upstairs! The hostess was lovely! She gave us an overview of the restaurant and chef. Recommended drinks and food since it was my husband's first time. Our waiter was Jesus. He was great - friendly and attentive. After dinner, he surprised us with complimentary dessert (cheesecake so good) and a glass of champagne! That was really unexpected and so nice to be celebrated. Thank you

Continent Rum Punch & South African White Wine Blend
Duane C.

Came here celebrating finding a new place. It's inside the Indigo Hotel so it's a little hard to find. When you do, it's worth it. This is a romantic and intimate space, with soft Afro House and Ampiano music throbbing softly in the background. The seating is velvety plush with a soft, warm color palette. The menu isn't extensive but thoughtfully curated. We started with the Continent Rum Punch and a blend of South African whites. Both were phenomenal. Our appetizers were the Tamarind Wings and Shrimp Manu dumplings. Both were impeccable, delicious and subtle. Not very spicy, but tasty nonetheless. We shared the Escovich Lobster and Lobster Fried Rice. Both amazing and sophisticatedly plated. And Karen, our server was on point in every way, even down to surprising us with a complimentary dessert! The price is towards the higher end but it's well worth it. We will both be looking for a reason or occasion to return!

Thank God For Yelp! I looked up restaurants on Yelp within the area that I was in. I stumbled upon Continent Brooklyn. Little did I know this was a restaurant located inside of Hotel Indigo Williamsburg Brooklyn. The hotel is very nice & modern. Though I didn't have reservations to the hotel I was able to dine at the restaurant. Staff directed me inside where I was greeted with a warm, classy, romantic ambiance. The place was dimly lit. Playing all good jams of R&B music. The waiter was very attentive. Brought my friend & I water & took our orders promptly. I ordered the lamb cops with Mac n cheese. Those were the best Lamb chops that I've had ANYWHERE. They were so tender & flavorful. As though they were made on a grill. It was delicious. The Mac n cheese was also good and cheesy. I couldn't finish my food in that very moment but even the next day heated up it tasted the same! Loved this place and I hope you do too!

Oaxacangyal
Ashlee S.

Happy hour turned into a delicious dinner! We set our sights on Aliya for happy hour but it was closed for a private event. The hostess recommended we checkout Continent, the restaurant also located in the hotel. Luckily, there were empty seats at the bar so we could be served right away. The bartender made great drink and food recommendations based on our preferences. The Oaxacan Gyal cocktail was so refreshing and not too sweet. We decided to share a few menu items as we weren't too hungry. To start, we got the Yard Man Oysters which were quite an interesting dish. They weren't bad but there were too many flavors going on at once. The Brussels sprouts were absolutely fantastic and the prawns were delicious but the portion was quite small. The restaurant is pretty large and very nicely decorated and they offer outdoor dining. I highly recommend Continent Brooklyn for dinner and/or drinks for great food and wonderful service!

Complimentary Birthday Dessert
Arianne M.

I was staying at the Indigo Hotel for my birthday. The restaurant is located in the hotel and I wanted to try it since the menu looked so good. I came for dinner on Sunday night after spending the day at the spa. I was starving and ready to eat. I didn't get a drink just a Coke. Their drink selection did look good though. I got yuca fries for my appetizer to hold me over. They were so crispy and good. For dinner, I really wanted to try the Oxtail Lo Mein which was delicious. I'm coming back just for that. We also ordered the snapper and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was too cheesy for me but it wasn't bad. I got a complimentary cheesecake for my birthday. I don't really like cheesecake but I tried it. During the middle of our meal, our server's shift ended so we were introduced to a new server. She was very friendly. The bill came and it was around $180. The restaurant wasn't crowded but the decor was really nice. There was a DJ setting up and playing really good music. I really liked the vibe of the place. I would definitely go back.

I came here for the first time for my birthday. The vibes and the music was a 10. The food we had the special 60.00 three course meal. We had the oxtail long mein. We had the salmon and the fried chicken with mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was a disappointment no cheese no flavor the chicken was burnt and dry. The salmon was very good. The oxtail was underwhelming too salty not enough flavor. The lychee was delicious. The kale salad was amazing. The service was excellent our waiter wasn't that good but the staff on a whole was great. I guess it all depends on who is the chef that night because my cousin was here last week and stated everything was good. All and all I love the music and vibes so I will come back but just for a drinks and salad cause im scared of the food being underwhelming again.

See all

This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
