"I have been to the Continental a few times and there's not a time that I have had a bad experience as far as customer service. The food is not bad, I wouldn’t say necessarily great, but I like the atmosphere and ambiance. The last time I went, I believe with my fellow union members on a business dinner, the food was fantastic and we had great service." Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the wait staff at the Continental have always been pleasant and professional. The restaurant can get crowded, but that doesn't stop the staff from providing great service with a smile. During one visit with my cousin Kiki, we had the best service we've ever had at the Continental. The food came out quickly, our waiter was good-looking and a little flirty, and we couldn't have been happier.
