One of our favorite meals in Naples, was here at The Continental. We arrived for a later lunch (around 1pm) after a morning spent bike riding and walking in the hot sun, we were ready for a relaxing and delicious lunch! *Apprehensive at first, I had called to see if there was a dress code - I was told there was not, and we arrived in athleisure wear (but actually having worked out...) we were promptly seated outside in the shade, and treated no differently than any other patron. The outdoor seating area is sublimely wonderful, a breeze flows through the courtyard, and it's well lit by the sun, however overhead vines and structure provides respite from the hot Florida sun. We started off with drinks - my husband ordered a white wine he's still raving about, and I perused the non-alcoholic 'Prohibition Legal' section. The Silk Road Smash caught my eye - anything with fresh strawberries is usually a good bet for me. I ordered it and was rewarded by a bright, refreshing, and delicious afternoon tea. It's Rhubarb Tea, Strawberry Purée, and Lime. Not sickening sweet at all, however after drinking about 1/4 of the drink, I diluted it with water and enjoyed it much more! For lunch we split the Grilled Steak Escarole Caesar entree salad ($20) and the Fried Chicken Sandwich ($16). The salad was wonderful - Escarole Caesar, Parmigiano, Brioche Croutons, with perfectly cooked grilled steak. It was indulgent without being too heavy, and the perfect ratio of steak:salad (if anything, it was more steak-heavy, than salad-heavy!). The Fried Chicken Sandwich was my husbands order, and normally I'd choose anything else on the menu, but I was actually SO glad he ordered this! The chicken sandwich came out and I was happy to see it wasn't crazy fried (I was expecting a deep-fried style sandwich). Served with a Buttermilk-Herb Aioli and housemade 'pickled cucumbers' (...pickles?), it was amazing. The sandwich was bright and crunchy with the Lettuce, tomato, and pickles, yet savory with the aioli. YUM-MY! At this point, we're relaxing with the gentle breeze and happy to be out of the sun for a beat - we had about a mile walk back to our hotel, which we were somewhat avoiding. We're content but not full, and cheerfully sipping on our drinks. Our waiter brings out a dessert menu and we decided to tempt fate. I'm not a doughnut person normally, but cinnamon-sugar doughnuts are my weakness (the ones we purchase while apple picking, and intending to bring them home - but... sometimes eat them all? Yea, those.) We ordered the Half dozen warm cinnamon-sugar doughnuts which were served with a salted caramel sauce ($10). OH. MY. GOODNESS. Somehow these were fall-apart-fluffy and airy, yet packed with flavor and dough. OMG amazing. Yes, they are mini doughnuts, but I only intended on having 1 or 2 - but before I knew what was happening, we both finished our 3 doughnuts in the blink of an eye! I'm not ashamed to admit I was licking my fingers after finishing these bad boys! Go here. And make sure to order these damn donuts! read more

Location is great atmosphere was wonderful music was a nice touch bartenders are great had a 7:30 reservation however was seated at 8:10 meal came out in good timing however desert we waited 30 min for and then another 15 minutes for our waitress to bring our check back with CC (after we asked her bust person) was then told she was in the office NOT cool Food appetizers where ok scollops where salty Halibut was very over cooked on the ends making it hard to eat the total meal. Dessert was good key lime blueberry cake is really good home made donuts was amazing however the sauce was burnt read more

We really had wonderful evening here. The downside was that we were seated in their enclosed outside area but with no cover over us. Looking around I saw that most people were either under an umbrella or a valanced part of the patio. We were under the trees and were bothered by droppings from them. Other than that: the menu is a bit confusing in that the steaks are divided into many different types ranging from Iowa Prime (the low end) to silver and gold descriptions. Besides that, I must say that everything we had was absolutely delicious. The Iowa prime small filet mignon is perfect - you won't find a better one. One member of our group had tripletail - a white fish which he loved and another, the snapper, also a hit. The salad which accompanied my filet was excellent, as was my unusual spritzer cocktail. This is a wonderful place, not like any other. I would go back and expect that with experience, I might approach things differently. read more

Bartenders are awful (pony tail guy and brown hair beard guy) My girlfriend and I have come here on 2 separate occasions. The first time the bartenders (listed above) were very rude. We came back giving the benefit of the doubt as we liked the ambiance of the restaurant. Unfortunately exactly the same bartenders as last time with the same experience as the last. Such a shame as this restaurant has such a great ambience, just don't sit at the bar. read more

Everything is tasty! Octopus and oysters for appetizers. Great martini. A bottle of Turley to go with the steaks. Outside in December is always nice. Live music to top it all off. Definitely coming back! read more

Chad and Barry are great bartenders. Nice wine and craft cocktails. Great happy hour prices in an amazingly beautiful space. Caviar parfait and liver pate were both incredible. Sunday three course for 50 a couple AND 25 for a few bottles of decent wine. Outstanding! read more

The place is busy, way too many people are served by one sever. There is live music and it is too loud and the speakers are not of good quality, so the place is noisy. The food is just ok and again it is most likely because of the sheer volume of orders. The wine list is great and that is why I give so many stars. read more

Great seafood and steak house.. their heirloom tomato salad with ricotta is phenomenal. It tastes so fresh and flavorful especially the green tomato. Wine and cocktails were great. I got the 8oz silver label filet which was top notch. The sides are family style. Our group got the twice baked potatoes (best thing I've ever put in my mouth), cream corn, and carrots. Everything was great. Dessert we got the key lime pie, caramel banana pie(my fave), chocolate cheesecake, and brownie with ice cream. It is a pricey restaurant but service and food are superb. They also had a great band and dance floor later in the evening. read more

I would not return to this restaurant. My husband and I both absolutely love a good martini and a good Cosmo. The Continental touts it's Craft Cocktails as great-- there's quite a bit about the cocktails on their menu and on their webpage. We eat out almost every night in Naples and our drinks last night we're very disappointing Somebody needs to tell the manager to get the traditional martini glasses. Our martinis came in what looked like a short wine glass. In addition, our service was slow. I doubt that we will ever be back. read more

The evident wealth in Naples is simply breathtaking, and the restaurants and many stores reflect that. The Continental is no exception and takes pride in it positioning, scale, draw and pricing. We all had an appetite for steak (duh!), but found the smallest size for NY Strip to be all of 14oz.....twice the size we aged persons tend to consume per sitting. We asked the server if smaller cuts were possible, he offered regrets but said that one of their steaks was shareable by two persons. We checked - it was indeed, however it weighed-in at 42oz! Oh well, 14oz NY Strips it was to be for two of us, others moved to fish entrees and an 8oz Filet, more manageable portions (but not the steak I wanted!). The steaks and all foods were excellent and thoroughly enjoyed, though we puzzled over the harsh treatment given to the sprouts side dish, which seem to have been flogged into submission. Good wines too. Live music attracted several diners to the dance floor and the bar looked like a great place to hang and watch the money walk by (id the CEO seemed a good game to play). This was a special occasion for us, so the prices were justified and seems appropriate. We'd return for similar special events, but seek smaller fare and more modest pricing for more regular dining. No regrets though. read more

One of our favorite places to dine in Naples. The food is delicious and the wait staff professional. Just had dinner there last week. The service, ambiance and food was up to par (which is excellent) even during Easter/spring break when the town is flooded with tourists and it is very very busy. My only comment that is not positive is that the women who work the front door/hostess stand are rude, arrogant, bossy, unprofessional and seem to have a chip on their shoulder.....sort of like bouncers you might find at a night club in South Beach. They need to be trained or coached on how to be nicer. And gracious. Their sister restaurant, Campiellos, is the same way.....so we stopped going there and they seem to be on a power trip. Nevertheless, once you get past the hostess stand and seated, it is a fantastic experience!!! read more

First time at The Continental for us. Hard to believe living here 20+ years and being a Huge prime steak fan. First class place! Waiter, sorry but forgot his name, was excellent. It was a busy night but he was always attentive. Appetizers, Yellowtail Carpaccio A, Grilled Octopus A+, Crab Souffle B. The 4 of us had different steaks, Prime Rib Eye for me which was fantastic. Others had Prime Filet, Piedmontese Filet and Snake River Farms Silver Filet. 3 assorted veggie & potato sides rounded out a outstanding meal. Granted, it's not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for and this place is the Real Deal!! read more

The food / fish wasn't that good . The waiter pushed some dishes. The sides were cold. Water person touched the rim of the glass multiple times I think they should use a pitcher. Wine selection ok. Better choices out there . read more

Great experience overall. Amazing ambiance, appetizers were incredible as well as the wine. The filet and any fish available were outstanding. My brother says the burger is best he ever had. And the mushrooms...wow! I don't think I've ever had anything taste bad here. Pricey but worth it! read more

We dined here for a second time this past weekend and although pricey, it has become one of our favorite restaurants in Naples. The patio is very modern, inviting and absolute gorgeous. There are a few cabana style arrangements located on the exterior of the patio for larger parties and they also sometimes have live music. The bar, located on the patio, with one side almost on the inside of the restaurant is great. Very large, circular bar with large beakers of craft cocktails hanging down the center. The bartenders are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The first time we dined in the dining room and sat in a booth facing the patio. It was excellent from start to finish. The service was top notch. He spaced out our meal perfectly and had great recommendations. The second visit, we dined at the bar, unsure of how hungry we were. After our first drink, the bartender informed us of a special menu from 5-6 that is offered. It's a choice of salad and small surf and turf option for $29.95--amazing deal! My fiancé and I split one, which was perfectly portioned and the steak was prepared perfectly and delicious. Although they are expensive, it is well worth it! Especially for a fun night out in Naples for a group on the patio or a romantic dinner for two inside. Their craft cocktails are inventive and they have an extensive wine list. I also think it's important to note that they do have some bottles for $40 or so and some entrees are large enough to split. Go here! read more

Love love love the Continental!! This has to be the most beautiful patio restaurant in Naples! The craft cocktails are fantastic and the oysters are the best I've had! Their food is pretty good too but it's mostly the ambiance and the cocktails that get me here. They're even doing happy hour now too for the summer which makes it all the more enticing! This place gets jam packed, so if you're going for dinner, be sure to make a reservation in advance. Definite must-visit when in Naples! read more

This evening my husband and I had a wonderful experience at The Continental. Our waitress Katie from Minnesota was personable, attentive, efficient and knew the menu well. The ambiance was beautiful considering where we were? Naples? I will return again and bring my gang. The wine list was impressive cork charge 30.00, even the ladies room was impressive .. I'll give this place 5+ felt this is where the locals go! I enjoyed passing thru Ole Naples and they're beautiful homes ... god bless America! Thank you DAmico family! read more

My husband and I came to celebrate my birthday and it was excellent. The restaurant itself was adorable. I'm sure that in the winter it's great to sit outside for dinner. Our Server, Juan, was fantastic and all his recommendations were spot on. We shared the octopus and steak tartare as an appetizers. They were both great. We both decided to have a fish and each fish was perfectly prepared. The mushroom side was delicious, as were the potatoes. We shared a key lime pie that was different but very good, as it was infused with blackberry. They had live music and many couples dancing and enjoying the beautiful night. I highly recommend and would gladly return. read more

What a delight to strut into these new digs to the smooth live jazz sounds coming from the patio amidst the shakes of freshly made cocktails behind the bar. Needless to say, the Continental is a classy setting without being pretentious. Warm wood chairs on the interior, linen upon each table, wine room, several cabana style tables outside, plenty of patio seating, open kitchen and an overall sexy atmosphere makes the Continental a pleasure to dine or enjoy a cocktail. Yes, the prices are high, but from the fare enjoyed by my family and me for lunch, it was definitely worth it. The burger is one of the best you will find, hands down. Nice char, full of flavor, fresh bun, piled high served with crisp pomme frittes. The brunch frittata, 3 eggs, tomatoes, gooey cheese and mushrooms is making my mouth water again! Delish, all around. Every staff member even said they partake in the burger almost every shift. I can see why. Excellent Bloody Mary as well. Service was attentive, friendly, thorough and high class. Well done. Next visit will be for dinner. If the burgers are a prelude to their signature steaks, it'll be worth every nickel. read more

We haven't left the table and I had to immediately post a five star review. My husband and I cannot stop saying how excellent everything was. Catering to a pregnant woman is so hard - I know I'm difficult. I was so embarrassed to order their burger well done (...I couldn't bring myself to order a steak this way!) and oh my - this is the best burger I have ever had! Simply Incredible! Husband ordered a steak that unfortunately didn't come out right - but corrected immediately to perfection. He even can't stop talking about how tasty everything was! Start to finish our experience here was 100%. Management and staff were top notch and made our meal so enjoyable that we can't wait to be back! My one complaint? We're way too full for dessert! read more

We have been coming to The Continental for years and have had good experiences, but tonight was horrible. The bartender and bar staff looked like they did not want to be there. Sorry, but when you charge what they do for drinks and food you expect better service and attitude. Simply wanted to move one chair to accommodate our party of five at the bar. Staff totally mishandled the situation which was compounded by a Manager who was dismissive and arrogant. Maybe this restaurant is getting a little full of themselves? If I owned this restaurant I would be embarrassed. read more

This was one of the best dining experiences that I have had in ages. The service was second to none, the wine list was extensive but with prices that were much more reasonable than expected, the atmosphere was perfect, and the food was mind blowing. Not a detail was overlooked. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Naples. The food, staff, and service is amazing. Great location and atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch, happy hour, and dinner. Be sure to order "The Jeffrey" if you are at the Bar and want a great cocktail. read more

A beautiful SCENE. But have some kinks to work out. Seating areas of the restaurant are very dark. Music is lovely. The waitstaff, including bar servers are quite haughty. A smile goes a long way. Who is training this crew? They could use some Ritz Cartlton 101. Obviously this restaurant is floating on the coattails of Campiellos but if they aren't nice it could bite them in the ...! Food is excellent. The servers need to show some appreciation for their patrons. read more

Loved this spot. Went during restaurant week so we got the 3 course meal for 39 dollars. Ceasar salad, steak, and cheesecake was all amazing. My boyfriend got the scallops and there were only 4 on there for the meal, but amazing. We also got the au gratin potatos which were SOOO good- my favorite thing. Drinks were pricey but for the type of spot it's al worth it. Outside atmosphere is so great and fun and the staff was a+. Loved it read more

Not having eaten here before we joined some friends for dinner during the current Restaurant Week, a good time to explore new venues. We were not disappointed as it turned to be one of the best restaurants we have been to in Naples. The steak choice is its specialty which we all ordered and it turned out to be one the best restaurant prepared steaks I have had in awhile. The accompaniments are ordered separately ( one side order will suit 4 people) the carrots and mushroom order was excellent, the potatoes gratin I thought a little disappointing and would try the mash the next time. We had the fish carpaccio to start which I would have again and for dessert the key lime blackberry is light and worth the few extra calories. The service was excellent and the atmosphere " sophisticated lively " read more

Continental is a must go to..for anyone that appreciates..fabulous service..outstanding food..and an incredible wine cellar!! read more

What a fantastic experience. From the moment Jonathan approached the table it was game on with culinary delights! Scallop soup, Ceasar salad with fresh anchovies, black Grouper, asparagus, scallop potatoes and key lime pie all fresh, cooked to perfection and the presentation was wonderful. Highly recommend as a must visit if you want to experience one of the best restaurants in Naples! read more

Went there for my birthday dinner last night and had an amazing meal. Our server, Will was what I would categorize as a top notch professional server. His wine and food recommendations did not disappoint either. The ambiance is elegant and inviting. We started with the yellowtail carpaccio and both had the filet mignon. My husband is an incredible cook and normally doesn't like to order steak because he feels he can make it better. Last night was what we call a " Game changer." And if you want a superb and memorable dessert, go for the donuts!! My mouth is watering thinking about them! Lol. Bon a petit!! read more

On a rainy, windy evening over the holiday vacation, we agreed to be seated in an outdoor canvas cabana for dinner. Despite the weather, the ambiance was still pleasant and our waiter was attentive and kind, adding levity to what could have been a dreary night.

Good happy hour. Wonderful environment around the bar and the open seating area. Can get a bit crowded when they have live music and people start dancing and bumping into your dinner table. :-) Food is good, but sometimes hit or miss. Last time in with a table of 6, we had 4 excellent meals and 2 were sent back. Wait staff is good, and bartenders are good when you can get close and get their attention. read more
