Maria our server was very very pleasant and knowledgeable. She was happy to answer our questions! The manager brought out all of our dishes and even split a salad for us without asking! I LOVE when a restaurant takes the extra step and does that. The food was ordered off the lunch menu called the "spa" section and I really felt that same relaxed feeling I do at a spa, sitting amongst the flowers on the beautiful patio with this very light and airy food that filled you up but didn't make you full! That's a happy belly! What a lovely lunch! You will really feel balanced here! read more

Love the food, the ambiance, great bar and good service. It does get a little hot if you're sitting at the front and the sun's setting though. Fun place though. Great for groups, families, girls night out, dates and singles at the bar. Popular place. In the winter you need a reservation. Food wise: chateaubriand is excellent, caviar is yummy, oysters are great, baby carrots and filet mignon are excellent. We had donuts and ice cream for dessert which were also yummy. Party pants cocktail is most popular and super tasty. Great experience, fun time. read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant in Naples It definitely went down hill I don't know if it's the management or just how the place is ran now but after the reopen everything is different. My table was an after thought when I put in months prior I wanted to sit outside by the flowers. This was my birthday dinner which they did nothing for no candle or anything. Over priced for the food quality and service. The wagu was way too fatty and greasy not like before. I was super unhappy and they still charged us full price. Never again read more

My husband and I stopped by on a whim without reservations. At first, they told us they were booked but squeezed us in! We actually got a great two person table right by the pond so we had a great view of the fishies. The food and service were great as well! I got a caesar salad and hubby got steak tartare. Both were delicious. We then shared the ribeye for two, side of fries and corn, and chocolate mousse cake for dessert. SO SO GOOD. read more

I am so impressed by this restaurant. This was our second dinner here in the last year and both experiences were 5 star. Our waiter, Tyson, was phenomenal. We were celebrating our son's first birthday and Tyson was SO accommodating. He brought food for the baby to feed the koi fish, which was so sweet and fun. All of his recommendations were excellent. The service really put our dining experience over the top, but the food is also A+. The yellowtail carpaccio was as beautiful as it was delicious! The French onion soup -- next level. The ribeye was fantastic. And the A5 was an experience in and of itself. The perfect way to wrap up the meal was with the banana pie (all recs from Tyson). Can't recommend this restaurant enough. Job well done from top to bottom, thank you for another great dinner Continental! read more

This was a great experience... We were made to feel special not rushed and the food was delicious. I called late in the day for reservations and was able to secure them.. we sat in area with a great view and comfortable chairs out of the sun or it's glare.! Our drinks were great.. real and not full of sugar.. And the bread was homemade fresh and accompanied by butter and small bowl of coarse sea salt. An interesting but delicious combination! Our heirloom tomato salad- see pics-- was delicious! Super tasty thin sliced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and a ricotta cheese .. tasty light and delicious We both ordered the snapper....fresh and hot. We ordered ala carte carrots and spinach...all went well and there was plenty to share.. see the "side"plate of carrots picture!. ( (Bugs Bunny- could have joined us and been happy) Finally our coconut cake was super tasty a dense bottom and fresh whipped cream on top. Now this is a dining experience and not for a quick meal or someone on a tight budget.... This was a special meal while on vacation.. And as an FYI..go here a little dressed up...no t-shirt or sandals.. and this is really not a place for kids-- in my opinion ( and I have kids).. leave them at home or go somewhere else. It's an adult date or special occasion place. Also 4% is added on the bill for service - I am presuming this is for everyone- regardless of your parties size. Bon appetit and enjoy! read more

We used to love coming to the Continental for what the known for - Steaks However it was the second time when they overcooked my husband's steak ( he asked for medium rare and the steak came out well done ) , so we didn't get to eat our meals together. His steak came out cooked the right way 5 minutes later ( very fast / impressive) Our waiter was very apologetic and mentioned that the restaurant will take care of my husband's steak ( we never expected it or asked for it) ... however as our meal came to an end - they did charge us for this steak and offered a desert We never had a problem paying for our food, but if you say you're sorry for overcooked steak and offer to remove the steak from the bill - don't back off and offer us a desert That's definitely not what 300$+ bill restaurants do Needless to say - we'll pick someplace else to spend $$$ read more

Had an amazing dinner at The Continental on South Third this evening!! Our table tried the shrimp cocktail, the crab claw special, the incredible tomato salad and the yellowtail tartare for starters. All insanely delicious!! We had a variety of steaks and fish for entrees and mushrooms, creamed spinach, corn, and risotto with scallops for sides. It may have been the best steak I've ever had, and my dinner guests felt the same. Our server, Conaghaer, was fantastic; and the live music provided by Carmine was perfect. The Continental still delivers a 5-starting experience. Fabulous!! read more

We had a lovely evening at D'Amico's The Continental. The food was absolutely delicious, the presentation was impressive, and the ambiance truly elevated the experience. This is exactly the level of quality we expected from such a reputable place. However, one moment ruined the overall impression: after leaving a $40 tip on a $380 bill, our server returned to question the amount, claiming that "Florida law requires a minimum 20% tip." Not only is this legally incorrect -- tips are voluntary in Florida -- but it was also an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional interaction. Let's be realistic: in Florida, a physician earns about $168/hour, a licensed attorney around $79/hour, and an experienced engineer roughly $56/hour -- all after years of study and hard work. Expecting $70+ per table, regardless of the service level, is beyond unreasonable. Tipping is a gesture of appreciation, not a mandatory fee, and should never be demanded or guilt-tripped out of customers. We truly hope this was an isolated incident and not a reflection of the restaurant's overall standards. Because otherwise, everything -- from the food to the ambiance -- was truly worth praising. It's unfortunate -- not because we couldn't afford more, but because we didn't expect to be treated like under-tippers after already giving a sum higher than most people make hourly in Florida. If gratuity is mandatory at your establishment, perhaps consider including it in the bill -- or better yet, training staff not to harass guests under the guise of "education." It's hard to enjoy dessert with a side of condescension. A lovely place -- on the surface. But behind the polished service, there's a tone that reminds you: tips aren't appreciated, they're expected -- and if you don't meet the quota, you'll be told so. read more

Such a beautiful ambiance and vibe. It's a very large and spacious restaurant. Definitely book a reservation in advance; we went on a Saturday and they were BUSY. Food was spectacular, surprisingly the zucchini cannelloni and Japanese A5 Wagyu was my absolute favorites! I'm never someone that goes for a vegan dish but this cannelloni was so rich and creamy - the almond ricotta and the cashew butter were a nice touch with the pine nuts, it gave it such an earthy flavor. Definitely would recommend; left feeling so full but happy! read more

A group of associates plus the owner of a local retailer on Third Street in Naples recently went to The Continental for dinner.  The owner of the store called ahead and requested a specific corner booth to enable all of us to have our business discussion and hear each other easily.  We got to the restaurant early for our 6PM reservation only to find the requested booth occupied.  There were two tables with diners - one in our requested booth.  The owner was very upset and asked to speak to the manager.  His answer to her concern?  "Well, clearly that's not happening."  WOW!  Not an appropriate reply from a manager to a party of six!  It's off-season in Naples.  Any restaurant would have been happy to accommodate our group!  In his very arrogant tone, he said he will set up another table.  After waiting for 20 minutes (!!!) we finally got a table that was not at all conducive for everyone to hear our conversation.  After quite an extravagant meal that included two bottles of wine, one would think the manager would stop by to 1) ask if everything was ok, 2) offer an after-dinner drink, or, at the very least, 3) send over a dessert as a good-faith gesture.  Not only did he do none of those, he never came over to apologize or, on our way out, to say 'Thank you'.  We all found his behaviour unconscionable!  We will never go back to The Continental.  There are too many other fine restaurants who will be all-too-happy to accommodate us!  This manager is more equipped to sell socks at K'Mart than work in what we thought was one of the best restaurants in Naples! read more

Great food. Great service. One of the best steakhouses in Florida. This is a must go to restaurant.

Went to The Continental for our five year anniversary. It was outstanding. Bracken? Was our waiter. When we arrived the hostess was very warm and welcoming and said she hoped we had a wonderful dinner. We had steak and lobster and it was delicious. Then the Continental gave us a celebratory dessert to add to our surprise and gratitude. Strongly recommend The Continental. We had such a memorable evening and hope you do too!! read more

AVOID the PERILS of a 6pm reservation!!!!! Risk being seated in the UNDESIREABLE tables. Out of 35+ patio tables there are 4 that are UNDESIREABLE. We are early diners and have dined here 8 times in the last 6 weeks and twice experienced this. We were NOT walk ins, we had long standing reservations. Our tabs for two are always $400+. I can only attribute this to our 6pm reservations. BTW, this never happens at Campiellos and they have far less tables and dont shove tables into Busser's areas or hallways. The first time this happened was unfortunately very unpleasent because we were hosting birthday celebration for 6 people and despite checking weeks in advance to ensure a nice table we were relegated to the WORST table tucked behind the bar next to a Busser's station. The area was so off putting that even my guests reacted; not to mention having them trapse back and forth twice. The second time was last night and it somewhat spoiled our experience. The area they sat us in is just off the hostess stand and has zero air flow, no white table cloths and poor lighting. It almost feels like it was once a table Busser's station. Our server Adam made up for it best he could with excellent service. I witnessed every other person who was seated after us smile just fade off their faces as they were seated in this area. One such couple broke my heart because it was a young man on a date, both nicely dressed but DISCARDED in the UNDESIREABLE area. I suspect this young man's hope of treating his lady to a special evening were somewhat LESS than expected. Hopefully upper management reads this message and turns a Lemon into Lemonade and converts these areas to a more pleasant experience for all or just avoids using them for dining patrons all together. we come for the atmosphere and the FOOD; last night Continental failed on the ATMOSPHERE. read more

I absolutely love The Continental! It's located on 3rd street south and just reopened after suffering hurricane damage from Ian. I'm so glad it's back! You can always have a great meal and a great time at The Continental. I have hosted a couple of events at this restaurant and have never been disappointed. The food is top notch. The service is above and beyond (thanks Vale). read more

The food was great! I know CoVId has created staffing issues everywhere and this place was not spared. Took over an hour to receive our meal, it was hard getting a hold of our waitress and since our meal ran late we ended up getting rained out. The food was great, the tomato carpaccio was so delicious, light and refreshing. The steak was amazing! Didn't get the opportunity to enjoy desert. Would go back but avoid busy times read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant maybe I had too much high hopes. We were a party of 12 and although we had made a reservation in advance they put us at a table that should have been for 10 people but we snuggled close together and endured. Despite that we were a large party the service was wonderful! I wish I could say the same about the food. It was Restaurant Week and 3 course meals were $39 so we decided to go with that. I started with a tomato carpaccio which I enjoyed. Escarole ceasar salad tasted just like a regular ceasar. The steak tartare was a big disappointment. Chopped up mushy pieces of raw meat just didn't make the grade. I ordered the Piedmontese Hanger Steak medium rare. The presentation was odd in that it was cut and coiled on the plate. I was not a fan of the texture or flavor of this steak. My friend ordered the strip medium rare and it came out raw. Another friend ordered a filet medium and it was raw. None of us experienced that wow factor with our steaks. The mushrooms were delicious but the Twice baked potato was overcooked and dry. I enjoyed the cinnamon donuts with caramel sauce and the key lime blackberry pie was good too. All in all it was a good deal with the Restaurant Week offer but we were really let down in the quality of the food. read more

The portions are big and so is the bill. Service was an overwhelming 10/10. If you have Conner at your table consider yourself in for a treat. The creamed corn is cream-less but delicious and succulent. I enjoyed my salad the dressing had a bitter aftertaste but the lettuce was easy to fold and the perfect portion. The chocolate silk is DENSE and beautiful, I didn't see a single table of 2-3 people finish it. If you like like a decadent amount of heavy cream, oooo that baby was THIC! The table bread is DELICIOUS, perfect combination of soft, moist and crunchy. The butter was fittingly gourmet. I was very happy Coniker (our exceptional waiter) was quick to refill the bread. The mushroom toast was delicious but too rich. The regular mushroom side was bit overwhelming, but so savory. Place is worth every bit of the price. We tipped 25% and I think you will feel compelled to do the same if you get to interact with Jeanette and Conkier. The inside seating is nicely by the thick vines on the sidewalk. It would be a dream location for a rehearsal dinner. Small detail: I dressed like I was picking up 100 chicken minis at Chick-fil-A and nobody was mean to me. This place is very classy from the hostess to the bathroom. read more

The perfect dinner outing for a VERY special event ($$$$$$$$$$) love the ambiance in DT Naples & always fun to see the flashy cars and people. Be prepared to drop a buck or two on the limited menu of mostly steak. Overall, wouldn't change it! The meal was great (but could've been cooked at home) BUT it was the perfect place to get out for a birthday dinner with family! I recommend Potatoes Gratin, 6 Oz. Iowa Premium & American Usda Black Angus Petite Filet Mignon. The lobster tail wasn't worth the price or taste. read more

Was looking forward to going back to this restaurant. I have been there multiple times with a good to decent experience. What happened? Well let's consider the prices first of all - a burger that is 26 $ should come with hand cut fries ( not frozen- BK quality). The portions were minuscule. They gave me enough mash potatoes for a toddler. Charging 5$ for a below average bread basket was criminal. My steak although only 6 oz - came out looking like a hockey puck and wasn't even cooked to my specifications. No one asked how it was , so I just ate it. Which brings me to the service. It used to be good. I would describe it as borderline deplorable. I am concerned that they are understaffed. Did I mention my daughter who vomited later that night possibly due to the Piedmontese steak? I am giving it 2 stars because it was solid in the past. It could have easily been 1. Unfortunately it has lost its luster. From the service , to the pricing to the quality and the overall experience- I will not be back soon. read more

Excellent early dining menu at good prices. The service was impeccable. Lots of staff to take care of all your needs. 10/10

We've been to this restaurant for date night 3 times. First two times not great. First time was a few months after Ian. The hostess was very rude when we showed up with no reservation. Told us it was two hour wait so we had drinks next door but we looked at open table and they had a spot in 30 minutes. When we returned she was surprised and still Made us wait. Strike 1..... but at least food was good and so was our server. Second time we came for the early dining special. Food was good but server was not very friendly and seemed bothered any time we asked her for anything....strike 2.... We never got around to writing a review. This past weekend we just wanted a drink and snack on a Saturday after we saw sunset. We've always loved the bar area there but usually it is full so we popped in to see if it was open this time being that it was end of summer and it was. This visit The Continental totally redeemed itself thanks to an AWESOME server by the name Kelvin at the bar. We had drinks which were great and he convinced us to stay at the bar and at least try their sizzle menu. Boy are we glad we did!! Food and service were 5 stars. Sizzle menu had great selections and we opted for the hanger steak which Kelvin highly recommended. It was amazing. After dessert he finished things off with an espresso martini which was perfect! Thanks to him we will be coming back more often! Home run! read more

Haven't been there in a long while and won't again. Years ago the burgers came out perfect med rare. And were great. Asked the server if they will be cooked med. rare for both our burgers. Promised yes and the cooking tab in the hamburger when served said med. rare. Hers was well mine was medium well. Was going to post all these lovely photos of the food and restaurant. Now I can't. We're done with this place. Years ago came here a lot. No longer can. The last two times were like this. If you want your burger cooked a certain way, forget it!!!Makes me angry at these prices. No excuse for this, get rid of the cook! You lost us and all my friends. Have to tell everyone I know. So sad. May even deserve two stars . read more

OWNER RICHARD D'AMICO:: MUST READ!! I've been coming to D'Amico's The Continental steakhouse for about 5 years now; during the first couple of years, the food and service was normally pretty good.... but the last 2 years, the steaks they're serving seem to be declining in quality and have not tasted very well at all. For a pricey high-end steakhouse, the owners of this restaurant should really be ashamed of themselves for serving such poor quality OR poorly cooked steaks. I don't know if more people are complaining about this, but it's really bad, and if anything, more customers should be speaking up! I've come to the point where I've 100% decided that I'll never dine at The Continental, and I will make it a point to let as many people know that it is Not worth going to this establishment anymore. I thought my dining experience the past couple of times might have been 'one-off situations' here & there in the kitchen, because our steak dinners were so subpar, but it is definitely not 'one-offs', the steaks are just bad!! (My Usual Steak selection:: Filet Mignon, Skirt Steak & Filet Mignon "Waygu Gold Label") This bad review has kind of been a long time coming; I really do hate to leave a bad review, but I had to post this 1 Star review after my last visit to this restaurant, last week.... As previously mentioned, I'd already been unhappy with my steak dinners here for some time now, so when I was ordering our dinner last week, I was expressing these concerns to our waitress ((that we also ate here about a month ago, and we cannot understand why the steak has not been too good lately))... this is where myself, my wife, and our waitress began to speak about the Japanese Waygu & proceeded to "their best steak on the menu".... The Problem is, our waitress neglects to tell us, that we just ordered two 8oz Japanese Waygu Steaks that happen to cost $200 per steak!!! NOTE:: There's NO price listed for Japanese Waygu Steak on the Menu ... (Additionally we had ordered one drink, a soda and 3 sides euqlling ONLY $44)... So, unknowingly, when our bill comes to the table, the bill is $500, plus tip, which comes to $600. So, I'm in complete shock now, I had no idea that this outrageous bill was coming my way...... Here's the worst part; the 2 steaks that were given to us, had to be thee worst steaks that my wife and I had ever tried to eat in our entire lives; my wife only took 2 bites and was nauseous and did not finish her steak!... We regularly dine at many high end steakhouses in New York, California, and Scottsdale Arizona, (especially Scottsdale, where there's nothing but steakhouses in that town) and we have never, ever come across such poor quality meat or horribly cooked steaks, I WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER FEEDING THIS MEAT TO STRAY DOGS!!!!.... SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!! UGHH!!! For a meal that we basically threw away; if it was delicious, I'd still be unhappy that the bill was unknowingly so high, but feel a little okay with eating a delicious meal, but this was such an extreme disappointment, I'm completely disgusted about the entire situation. I've never spent $600 on dinner for 2 in my life, and if I were going to, it had better be the best tasting food in the world!!.... I am going to make sure everyone I know and everyone they know and so on, knows this experience and how bad the food is there. IM PISSED!!!!!! And in all fairness, You would be too! read more

This place is top notch from the service, the quality, menu offerings, ambiance, and entertainment. We had called in about thirty minutes prior to see if there was a availability. They gave us a reservation and the hostesses were super nice and helpful. We were quickly seated and received complimentary bread and water. We ordered the house Pinot Grigio to start and our waiter gave us the low down on the menu. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about all the options on the menu and made suggestions. We ordered the crab soufflé which was fresh and melted in your mouth to start. My main was the 6oz Iowa filet (med rare) and double baked potato, both delicious and cooked/seasoned to perfection read more
