I was recommended this location from a co-worker. Everyone was so kind and professional. We order: Cesar salad: a good normal salad, a good way to start. Risotto scallop truffle carpaccio: I never had truffles in large pieces like this before. I was exactly what I hoped for. The earthy woody flavor of the truffle, I like it. Australian ribeye Wagyu: delicious that's all I have to say! American Wagyu filet mignon: he said the flavor was so deep and perfect. Potato gratin with ham: so good! The slight salty taste of ham cuts the rich creamy and cheesy flavor. You don't taste the ham at first but if you pay attention you taste the slight hint. I loved it. Fresh cinnamon sugar donuts with bourbon caramel dipping sauce: it was fluffy and cake flavor and you can dip in the sauce to make it sweeter or eat it without. It was the perfect way to end the night. read more

The Continental's atmosphere truly stood out. The outdoor seating is beautiful, and the koi pond adds such a peaceful, unique touch. It feels special the moment you walk in. The staff was friendly and hard-working, which we appreciated. Service felt attentive without being overbearing. The food was good, but not particularly memorable. For us, the environment was the highlight more than the meal itself. That said, the location is great, right in the middle of a lively area with plenty of shops and things to explore before or after dinner. It's on the spendy side (you pay for the location!). They have an early bird dinner menu option. One thing to note: parking can be tricky. It's a busy spot in an awesome location, but there isn't a lot of parking available. Overall, we'd return for the ambiance and location alone - it's a great place to enjoy a beautiful Naples evening. read more

Hands down one of the top 5 dining experiences I've ever had. Everything about The Continental was incredible!!! the vibe, the service, and especially the food!!! It was a chilly night and they had heaters set up around us, which sounds small but honestly made the whole experience that much better. We were a group of 10 (not easy anywhere), and the service was flawless from start to finish. We ordered a mix of steaks, scallops, branzino, cauliflower, corn, and salads, and every single dish was excellent. Funny enough, my least favorite was the corn and even that was still really good. That says a lot. Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt forced. Just a great night, great food, and a place that clearly knows what they're doing. Can't wait to go back. read more

Absolutely the best upscale restaurant without being pretentious, fabulous food, stellar service, gorgeous ambiance, I'm gushing because this place is perfection. They have a value early bird menu for 55.00 salad, surf and turf and dessert . Perfect service by Adam.., They have figured out the secret sauce.. You can have elegant without high maintenance attitude.., Definitely worth the drive from Ft Myers for a perfect dining experience. . This place is beyond perfect..,And every employee works in tandem so you get a perfect cohesive experience. Yes this manager gets it done, and every employee looks happy to be there. Bravo, perfect first dining experience.. read more

We dined at D'Amico's Continental on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 to celebrate my wife's birthday and enjoy a special evening with a close friend before they leave for the summer. Unfortunately, what should have been a memorable night turned into a very concerning experience involving a serious food allergy. At the beginning of the meal, I clearly informed our server that I have a severe allergy to Parmesan cheese, and the allergy was acknowledged. However, when my entrée arrived, the potatoes were covered in Parmesan cheese. I had already taken a bite before my wife noticed the mistake. Later that evening, I experienced an allergic reaction. To their credit, the manager did come over to apologize and offered complimentary desserts. However, we were still charged for the incorrect entrée, the replacement dish, and even the "complimentary" potatoes before the bill had to be corrected at the table. Food allergies are not preferences -- they are serious medical conditions that require careful attention. I also emailed the restaurant the following morning (May 14, 2026) to explain what happened. As of today, I have not received any acknowledgment or response. Mistakes can happen at any restaurant, but the combination of the allergy oversight, billing issues, my reaction afterward, and the complete lack of follow-up has been extremely disappointing. read more

Stopped in around 4:30 just for a drink and to experience the ambiance that were heard so much about. It definitely lived up to the vibe! Bartenders were so nice and service was fantastic. We both started with a martini and it was delicious. Enjoyed it so much we decided to stay for dinner and ordered the happy hour special of a salad, Hangar steak and dessert. Everything was delicious from beginning to end (oh and to end the night with those cinnamon donuts - absolutely amazing!). So glad we stopped in! read more

Horrible service. Bland food. Undercooked steak. Outside seating with bird droppings. Unclean bathrooms. Pretentious decor. Go elsewhere IMO. read more

So delicious, from the drinks to the steaks, everything was incredible! The decor and ambience was great as well. I had the bone in filet mignon and my husband had the 40 day dry aged ribeye. Sides of the roasted carrots and mashed potatoes. Next level really. Yummy yum yum! read more

The only reservation we could get was at 5:00 pm, so we were lucky enough to find out about their early dining menu! Our meal started with a visit from the Dirty Martini Cart, a great little treat offering freezing cold martinis and olives served from a table side cart. We then ordered from the early dining prix fixe menu. Great value, $55 for a starter, main and dessert. I had a tomato carpaccio salad, a perfectly cooked 12 oz hanger steak with asparagus and au gratin potatoes and fresh donuts with maple bourbon caramel sauce. I also had an extra 4 oysters, very fresh with tasty sauce. Our server, Tyson, was very friendly and interactive, talking us through the menu and ensuring we had a great time. The restaurant is beautiful with indoor, outdoor and covered seating. Can't wait to go back! read more

We had a reservation at 7:30 last evening and were promptly seated on time for what turned out to be one of the best meals I've ever experienced. Our server, Ginna was cordial, well informed, and a testimony to the best! This has to be the finest dining experience offered in Naples by a margin. Crafted Cocktails served as they should be, fantastic appetizers and outrageously good Snake River fillets, au gratin potatoes and baby carrots followed. The 4 piece music ensemble was a treat, as was the coconut cake we had as a finale. We were suitably impressed by ALL the Continental delivered. read more

Great location in Naples for a high end specialty dinner. Out with friends, we had a beautifully located table inside, yet felt outside due to all the open doorways. The outdoor patio seating area as well as the indoor restaurant are beautiful. We sat at 5:45, still time for the early specials (offered between 5:00-6:00). $50 for a three course meal, it was an amazing value and absolutely delicious. We tried the Caesar salad as well as the caprisi salad with beratta. Both were outstanding. Our main selection was the filet and lobster tail. Served with potatoes and asparagus. Cooked to perfection! We finished with fresh warm doughnuts with a dipping sauce. Other main course specials were a chicken dish and 2 seafood options. The main menu is full of great options, so no way you leave hungry. Very pleased with our dinners, the service was impeccable. Can't wait to go back! read more

The Continental is your quintessential steakhouse located in the picturesque downtown Naples. The decor, the neighborhood, the cars, the people all converging to create a posh yet approachable experience. The ambience was further amplified with a live jazz band and the perfect evening weather. The food and drink were TOP NOTCH. Almeidas had an Australian NY Strip which was phenomenal; Silva's had a hearty skirt steak.. seriously one was enough for two. Their steak tartar also a notable nibble. The donuts were an ABSOLUTE homer run with its chocolatey, salted caramely filling sauce. I seriously wanted to take a shot of it! Kudos kudos to the team for an amazing first impression! read more

Amazing food and service. The atmosphere is relaxing and takes you back to an earlier time. Can't wait to go back.

Come to the Continental if you want a no-frills **fantastic** steak dinner! In typical steak-restaurant-fashion, the sides are all a la carte and larger in size, meant for sharing. My parents and I each enjoyed a different filet (we wanted to compare the options), and split potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms. The mashed potatoes were too good to be true (except... they were true!!!). I practically licked the bowl clean! Unlike trendier restaurants, it's not stuffy, and it's just an enjoyable atmosphere (with a gigantic front patio, specifically), and you get a great quality meal. They had a particularly great wine list and a nice seasonal cocktail special. It was a peach negroni - yum! Here's where they fell short: for such a fine-dining type experience, our server couldn't have had less of a personality, plus we could barely hear him because he talked SO quietly. Considering the cost, I would want service to be on par with the meal and add to making it an extra special experience, rather than taking away from the experience and leave you wanting more. read more

The service was incredibly unprofessional and inhospitable. My family and I were dismissed by the hostess. We arrived on-time for our reservation at 7:45. We specifically asked and booked an indoor table as well. We waited until 8:10 to even get seated. As we were waiting, a group of 3 was seated at a 6 person table. We got seated outdoors. Once we got seated, we complained to the woman who walked us down. We asked to speak to the manager, the manager was unhelpful and not very apologetic. He didn't care much about what we had to say, or what went on. I do not recommend anyone to come here. This restaurant clearly does not take into consideration their costumers nor the presence that put out into the world. read more

Excellent dinner with friends. Everyone happy with their food and beverages. Easy parking too

We all work together in real estate, me for John R Wood Christie's international. I had not been to The Continental for a while but to celebrate our friend Carol's birthday. We went there with Cake in tow. We had their lobster special, which was absolutely delicious. Actually every bite even the bread was fabulous. I'd forgotten how good The Continental was going there hopefully most Sundays. It is a fabulous restaurant in a town filled with restaurants, but only perhaps a dozen that are truly exceptional in cuisine. This is one of them. read more

My mother and I went to lunch at The Continental today. We have both been before and were really looking forward to it. I ordered the lobster burrata salad. It was a nice portion size and $28. Which didn't bother me at all. It was delicious. When my bill arrives it was for $48. I asked the waiter? 2 iced teas ($12) and bread ($8). I am gluten free. They were very good rolls. I was not informed that I would be charged for them? A basket full arrived. I only ate one. If you are going to charge me for the bread you should inform the guest, and then offer a to go container for the remaining rolls. Especially after I commented to the waiter that they were excellent and asked if he could find out where they get them. He never got back to me. It was a good lunch but certainly not worth $48 plus tip! I won't go back. read more

We walked by on Valentine's Day and loved the ambiance and they were dog friendly! There were so many staff to help make your dining experience wonderful and they were so attentive. We first ordered oysters. They were good but one of mine wasn't fresh. When the entrees arrived, we were so taken back at how awful the food tasted. We were very disappointed but not surprised that the restaurant was half empty. We won't come back or recommend this restaurant. read more

One of the best steak houses I have ever been to. The filet melted in my mouth. Came back the next day for lunch and had an incredible hamburger. Again one of the best. My wife also loved her dinner. Ambience is nice although a little loud. The service is awesome. The beer selection is mediocre. No amber or pale ales. read more

Expensive even for lunch but welcome to Naples. It's what you pay for a quality SWFL meal. We walked in at 12:30 PM and had no problem getting a table. We ate outside, gorgeous day, me in the sun and brother-in-law in the shade. My Triple tail fish sandwich with slaw and garlic butter was awesome, highly recommended. B-I-L had the steak sandwich which he said was delicious. Outdoor bar looked enticing ... next time. read more

The Continental was the best meal I had all trip! The atmosphere is gorgeous with the sparkling lights & trees on the patio. The service was sufficient & quick! We got the carrots & I cannot recommend them enough. Truly some of the best I've ever had. They had this herb sauce that was so good- I asked for the recipe. I also got the truffle cauliflower risotto. It was decent, but the truffle was lacking. I tried some steak & it was really good- this is coming from a Chicago steak eater lol. The bartender made the best Hugo Spritz I have had. Overall 10/10 and worth the splurge! read more

What initially attracted my friends and I to walk in off the street was the vibe of The Continental. The place was buzzing with energy. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves and we wanted to join in the fun. We also admired the decor - inside and out. Our main objective was to imbibe yummy cocktails at the end of our evening out. Drinks were ordered - espresso martinis, Ketel and soda, etc. To my surprise, no one in my group that ordered a mixed drink actually liked their beverage. I assumed that because of clientele The Continental attracts, the cocktails would be banging. Well, lesson learned. Not everyone is as discerning as my friends and me. The best thing to do is to order something that they can't screw up - beer, wine, or water. With other outstanding options in the area, I think I will skip this place in the future. read more

We have eaten here several times, and each time I think it can't get any better. From the FRESH TRIPLE TAIL, to the tender steak. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Staff that goes above and beyond got their customers. Top notch! Make sure you save room for the cinnamon donuts! read more

1st visit here with my boyfriend. We have been to their sister restaurant for New Years, Ziggy's, which was great so when I saw the summer HH Special I knew it was time to make the trip down here. I'm so glad the weather was great we sat outside at the outside bar. We were the only ones at the bar which was great and we had the burger special but first we had an old fashioned and gin blossom. So great and refreshing! I was surprised this place wasn't that busy but I loved that we had the place practically to ourselves! The afternoon menu had some great options I would like to come back and try the other menu options but since seeing the picture of the burger I couldn't pass it up. It was super yummy! The wine wasn't to my liking I wish I could have gotten another gin drink or another craft cocktail Can't wait for our next visit here! 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

Had dinner on the front patio here on a Thursday night, it was very empty when we arrived. Our server was fantastic. Really attentive and knew the menu inside out. They had a number of fresh fish selections available that day at $46 per dish. Scallops were cooked to perfection and served with a lemon and pickled veggies. It looked like a small dish coming out, but the scallops were LARGE and extremely filling. Would definitely recommend (when available). Cauliflower risotto was delicious. I don't love cauliflower rice alone, but turned into risotto it was *chefs kiss*! It was so hot, buttery, and perfectly seasoned. It's pricey at $18, but easily functions as a side dish for 2 people! The reason I knocked off stars is the number of extremely bothersome fans they had blowing at guests on the patio. There were three powerful fans pointed as us the entire time, and we finally got one of the employees to turn two off. We also watched the hostess (unsuccessfully) try to seat three different parties RIGHT next to a literal industrial sized fan (think 5 feet tall blowing at full speed) with no offer to turn it off. Obviously no one wants to sit there and get BLASTED with wind during dinner. It had rained earlier that day, but it wasn't even hot... read the room! 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

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

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
