Good vibes on fri , food was good and area was wonderful. Atmosphere and decor was beautiful

I'm already counting down the days until I go back! My twin and I came here to celebrate our birthday, and we had a TIME! Continent Brooklyn is located inside Hotel Indigo. The decor is stylish, modern, and gives grown and elevated vibes as soon as you walk in. There is a mix of seating options and a bar area, plus a live DJ that kept the energy fun without feeling too loud. We were seated in the back, which gave us a more intimate dining experience while still letting us enjoy the atmosphere. Service was attentive, friendly, and everyone seemed to know the menu well. Now the food... amazing. The menu blends Caribbean and Asian flavors. Everything we ordered was seasoned well and flavorful. The fish stole the show! Moist, perfectly cooked, and Instagrammable. The drinks were also strong and well-made. I ordered the rum punch and it tasted just as good as it looked. This is the perfect spot for celebrations, date nights, small group dinners, or just a nice night out when you want good food and a good atmosphere. There was a photographer on site, snapping pictures of the memorable moments. Overall, Continent Brooklyn is a solid 10 out of 10 for me. Highly recommend. read more

After an amazing day at The Black Girl Art Show, I stopped by The Continent Brooklyn since it was close by and already on my "Want To Go" list--and I'm glad I did. The ambience is a whole vibe. Stylish, energetic, and just the right kind of scene to slide from day into night without missing a beat. Now let's talk food. The lamb chops were delicious, seasoned just right and cooked perfectly. The oysters? Amazing. Fresh, flavorful, no notes. And the salad... listen ... robust, fresh, and yes--juicy. I know that's not the usual word for a salad, but that one earned it. I also tasted some of the snapper my friend had and yeah... I'll definitely be back because of that alone. Service was attentive and friendly, which always makes a difference. Only reason it's 4 stars and not 5--the upstairs seating was a little tight. Next time I'm aiming for the main level so I can really settle in. Overall, great food, great energy, and a spot I'd absolutely pull up to again. Definitely on my return list. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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! read more

Karen was the best waitress ever . Loved this place . Came for my birthday and had a wonderful time !

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! read more

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. read more

The food was delicious. The service was top notch and the atmosphere was amazing. I will definitely come 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. read more

Yes yes and yes!! I came here with friends on a Sunday evening. Its kinda like a speakeasy to Hotel Indigo. There is no signage or entrance from the outside, you must go into the hotel. Decor is beautiful a very grown and sexy vibe. It's a very comfortable environment with plenty of seating. Everything I had was delicious! Started with the Pepper pawns, which was full flavor and the toasted coco bread delish!!! For my main the lamb shank was sooo tender, succulent, well seasoned A+. Then for dessert we tried the both the mousse so smooth and silky. And the cake so light and tasty. I enjoyed it all I do recommend!!! read more

I love this place.. I am always here . The snapper, oxtail lomein, the wings.. everything is good. My only critique is I think it should be a plain fried rice, or lo mein or just plain rice and peas offering . Its hard take older folks there to celebrate.. some dont eat meat .. the fish is good but most of the good sides have oxtail in them.just suggestion.. I think the menu is fantastic but if you want to appeal to more ppl, I would suggest a another chicken main( roasted chicken, jerk. Hicken.. and a different plain side.. this is just my observation of going with older folks and family. read more

I loved Continent Brooklyn. If I can give it 10 stars I would, but Yelp only allows five. They had amazing service, especially for a busy day like New Year's Eve. The crowd wasn't exactly what I expected, but the crowd wasn't horrible. It's just that it was much younger than I assumed for New Year's Eve. The restaurant is situated inside of a hotel so it may be a little hard to find but once you find it as well worth it. The host was kind and also offered to check our coats in their coat check which was a good addition to your reservation because sometimes when you're dressed nice you don't really want to hang your coat on the back of your chair or have it sitting with you at dinner. There was a prefix menu for New Year's Eve dinner service so there was limited options versus their full menu. However, the prefix was still very good. The prefix allowed for a welcome drink, a bottle of champagne for toasting, an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. I can't remember the cocktail I had as my welcome drink however it was really good. We chose appetizers and entrées so we could have a variety. I do not eat oysters, but my date seemed to really love them. The wings were really good well seasoned well sauced and cooked well. I had the snapper and the gravy and vegetables were very tasty. The snapper itself could've used a pinch more of something. I don't know what it was but it just needed a dash of something. My date had the lamb chop entrée, and I tasted it. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The meat was very tender and seasoned well. Service was exceptional and our server did an amazing job. I would definitely revisit this restaurant for dinner service. read more

Appetizers I had the tamarind wings. Yes they were friend hard but it was flavorful. My main course was the oxtail low mein. Absolutely delicious and large serving size that can be shared by two. I finished all of my food The staff found out we were celebrating our birthdays and decided to celebrate us with glasses of champagne and desserts on the house. Everything was amazing.

My friends and I came here for our end of year dinner on a Thursday evening. Our reservation was at 6:30pm but my friends were very late so I hung out at the bar for a bit until those latecomers showed up. I ordered a ginger smash which was so tasty. The restaurant was empty so luckily when my friends finally showed up we were able to be seated right away. The ladies ordered various things from the menu. I ordered the salmon which was really good. I tasted the oxtail bao, it was tasty but salty. I heard the same comment about the oxtail fried rice, that it was salty. All in all the visit was good. The restaurant is beautiful. Dark and sexy. Would work well for a date night. There is also outdoor seating. The staff was great, super friendly and very informative. There was a waiter with locs that gave us well informed, honest recommendations. read more

The food, the service, the ambiance all absolutely amazing. We arrived early and got seated immediately, the hostess was polite and professional, so we were happy upon entry. Once seated we were greeted quickly by our waiter who was super informative about the menu. We went with the oxtail bal and oysters for appetizers and were happy with our choices! The boa buns were soft and balanced the flavors of the oxtail perfectly. The oysters were topped with callalo and I didn't know what to expect with that combo but I was pleasantly surprised. For entrees we had the fried lobster and the oxtail low mein. The lobster was worth every penny, it was cooked well and so was the ackee and saltfish we gave it a 10/10. The oxtail was a little salty but the noodles were cooked to perfection. The star of the show were for sure the drinks. The bartender needs a raise cause each and every drink we got was a winner. I walked on the restaurant and floated out. We order two drinks each and received complimentary champagne since we were celebrating our anniversary and the drinks got the job done. I had the Royal spritz and it was a smooth drink not too sweet and the liquor wasn't overpowering. I can't wait to come back and try out the rest of the menu. Kk read more

I'd been wanting to come here for a long time and was not disappointed once I finally did! Went with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday and loved everything from the food, cocktails, decor, and music. This place is a vibe! I love culinary fusions and absolutely adore how their dishes fuse Caribbean cuisine with others! I had the pan seared salmon but tried my friends' suya spiced lamb ribs and fried chicken. The salmon was lightly spiced and nice & buttery. It came on a bed of gnocchi and veggies. All of the flavors came together really came together well. I scraped the plate clean. The scotch bonnet fried chicken truly surprised me it was sooooo good, crunchy, and flavorful. It was like really well seasoned fried chicken with an elevated hot honey on top. Securely ordering that next time. Lastly, the cocktails were excellent--consistently well-made and served promptly. After dinner, we checked out their rooftop lounge, which definitely had a great vibe. Big shoutout to the incredibly kind and hospitable staff, especially the female managers whose names I can't quite remember--but their warmth and professionalism truly stood out We'll definitely be back for more delicious bites and to enjoy the rooftop this summer read more

Ok so boom, we went here as an add on to a party we were attending in the ballroom, therefore they had a special for $75 that included a glass of wine/champagne, appetizer and a meal. They need to make that deal standard cause that food was really really good. I had the lamb chops to start and baaaaaby I'm so mad I couldn't suck the marrow out that thing (they lucky I was out in public lol). They were so good. And they gave you 3. For my main entree I had the salmon. It had some white sauce on it which was very tasty. The lamb chops tasted better than the salmon. I'm sure I'll go back just for the lamb chop But the service and ambiance was very apropos for our black tie event. We had 2 glasses of champagne cause we were having just that good of a time. read more

The service from Mikail was GREAT. The hostess was delightful. I would go back. Con: party of 3, and the bill said party of 6. It was my bday, so my party decided not to make a big deal abt it.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Continent Brooklyn. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was incredible--it was a Saturday night and they had a live DJ, which set the perfect mood. We decided to skip the main entrées since they looked huge and we wanted to try a variety of smaller plates. Every single dish was delicious: the **Tamarind Wings** were packed with flavor, the **Pepper Prawns** was so tasty and the red curry is amazing, and the **Shrimp Mandu** was yummy. The Three Cheese Mac was just the way I like it...not creamy, nicely baked and all the right cheeses. Service was phenomenal--Karen, our server, made us feel right at home and had great recommendations. She was attentive without being intrusive and really contributed to the great experience. With fantastic food, drinks, a lively vibe, and outstanding service, Continent Brooklyn has instantly become a must-go spot for me every time I'm back home to NY. Can't wait to return! read more

Beautiful ambiance. Very modern and upscale. Gorgeous space. Dillan was our server and was very helpful to us when we asked questions about the menu. We started with sparkling water. And had the tamarind wings along with the steamed mussels that came in this delicious sauce that I asked to take home after I was done tearing up the mussels. Wings were crispy and had nice flavors to them. For our entrees my girlfriend ordered the Rasta Pasta that was delightful and I ordered the lobster burger. It came with 2 patties and lobster on top with yuca fries. So worthy of the calories. I wasn't able to finish the entire thing so brought half home for lunch the next day. Our glasses were never empty and we left very thankful and pleased with our experience! Wonderful dining escapade. read more

Love this place. Neatly located on first floor of Indigo Hotel. This place is dimly lit, "happy" urban music permeating the air at a good decibel, wrapped in a minimalistic yet modern decor. There is an outdoor patio that I guess is open during summer months. Service was A1, hostess, waitress, and bus boy all scored high mark. I have not a bad word to say about their service. Now the food. The food was delicious. Everything was cooked the way I wanted and everything tasted delicious. There are some pretty dope cocktails, as well a full bar. read more
