Ambiance for happy hour and dinner is upbeat and fun. Wait staff was below Average. Ordered a glass of wine and was immediately told "I need to take it up a level". That level was only price based as the weight staff could not even tell me the next level vintner or the reason ((taste?). Then ordered the al a carte fish. $38 for a well below average in taste, size and presentation. Get a drink and enjoy he crowd. Avoid the meals. read more

We had an excellent meal last night. With summer almost upon us and restaurant week in full swing we decided to venture down to 3rd Street South. We had a wonderful streetside table perfect for people watching. Live music in the background set the ambiance. Our meal was fantastic. Oysters flavorful, snapper carpaccio delightful with the jalapeño, strip steak large and cooked to desired temperature, and potatoes gratin rich and tasty. Key lime with blackberry pie and the chocolate cheesecake were the perfect ending. Our server Matthew was polite, courteous, and professional. A great experience over all. Thank you guys and keep up the good work! read more

Love the bar!! The drinks are exceptional!! The "bar food" is very good. I just dig the vibe of the bar area and the bartenders are awesome!! We have tried the cheese plate which DOES NOT disappoint! We have also tried the chips and those are very good as well!! read more

The Continental - Steakhouses Near Me - Naples, Florida

See all

The reviews said it was expensive and they lived up to their review I can't understand a steak restaurant being out of steak by certain suppliers or grades Our waiter bragged that had been there since the opening I was pretty impressed with his role not his performance The drinks were not of high caliber they substituted triple sec for name brand liquor Cointreau the value definitely was not worth $240 for two without dessert read more

Do not order a steak here. We shared a couple and I've had steaks with more flavor from the supermarket. "Medium rare" was closer to medium well on both of the steaks our table order. First was the Snake River Farms Silver Label NY Strip - absolutely minimal flavor even after we sent it back and it came back medium rare. For a $65 steak that is highway robbery. Next, the ribeye at medium rare had almost no red in it and also minimal flavor. I had a hard time distinguishing the two! You should be able to break apart a medium rare cut with a fork, and this wasn't even close. Service on the other hand was very good. Above average despite some longer wait times on sending the NY Strip back and dessert. read more

Our first visit to the Continental, Patrick our waiter was excellent and the Darling Downs Wagyu #7 8 oz Filet Mignon was absolutely the best piece of beef I've ever tasted! My husband had the 16 oz lobster which he said very tasty. We shared the Spinach Frisée, Baked oysters, and Brussels sprouts gratin, all were very good. Great atmosphere and a definite place for the best steak in Naples! read more

Ho and Hum. Nice atmosphere....no value. Over-priced, under-served. Bad combo. Everything a la carte? Family style? Is it still 1985? Head over to Campiellos if you want a great meal and atmosphere. At Continental you'll get the atmosphere....leave hungry....and have only an empty wallet to show for it. read more

The Continental never disappoints. Delicious seafood and steaks, the steak and lobster special is really special. Have eaten here frequently this summer and we enjoy every visit. The staff and management are very gracious. The deserts are generous and so delicious. The Continental has become a family favorite. read more

This is a great steakhouse. Steak cooked to perfection and the sides will surprise you. This place has an excellent cook

Great "2 for $14" off-season lunch deals. The outdoor dining is nice. The service is spotty (which it shouldn't be considering that there were less than ten patrons in the entire restaurant). The food is 3.5-4 stars, but the service is 3 stars. read more

I took my family of six and was extremely disappointed. My brother in-law wanted a steakhouse so I thought this would be the ideal place. Everything was wrong from the lack of service to the tasteless food. We waited for a long time to get service, we order drinks and half of the table received them. The server just kept disappearing. The steak was tough and chewy with the sides cold. We waited for ever for the food, the drinks and server to arrive. I like that most of the restaurant is outside with a great decor. However the bathrooms extremely dirty, my Mom couldn't use the bathroom because it was so bad. They need to focus more on service training and delivering the food and cooking the food right. read more

Love this restaurant, great food, wonderful service and atmosphere! One of our favorite spots in Naples.

Delicious dinner! We had the six ounce filet and scallops. The service was good overall. It did take a while to get our check taken care of. I am deducting one star because the inside of the restaurant was wide open to the outside with no air conditioning. read more

Wish this was still Handsome Harry's! Gave this place a try after years of going to HH every time I was in town. I have to say I was pretty disappointed. The cons outweighed the pros so I'll start with those: 1. No more scenery - you can no longer sit inside and look onto the bustling patio and dance floor, the views are now obstructed by a bar in the middle of the patio and the strange cabana tables. No more dance floor :( The restaurant feels cramped and stuffy. IMO the new construction was a bust 2. Get ready to drop some cash - this place is extremely pricey... I don't mind spending money on eating out but $16-$20 on a sandwich or a salad (No sides included) at lunch seems pretty excessive. Want some French fries? Get ready to spend another $10-$18 for the "family style" sides. 3. The lunch menu is overall weird - there are only 5 appetizers, there are no non-seafood appetizer options, not the place you want to go if you want a light lunch or some plates to share. Now for the Pros: 1. Our server was attentive and helpful - overall the service was very good 2. I have to say I was not very excited about what I had ordered - like I said the menu was odd so I had a hard time deciding what to order. However, once the food came it was very well prepared and tasted very good. My Dad loved his $18 philly steak sandwich and said it was the best lunch he had all week (we eat out quite a bit while in town) Long story short I was pretty disappointed with how this restaurant turned out. I wish the new restaurant would have carried over some of the charm that this location once had. Will not be going back. read more

My Family and I dined here on Friday Feb 6. We were greeted by a friendly staff that quickly sat us at our table outside. From the moment we sat down to our check our server Simone was Awesome!!! It's so nice to have a Great Steak House in Naples besides Chops that is so so. I understand that some people might complain about the price of their steaks. But those that do obviously don't know what a Great Steak is worth. My Wife and I both had the Japanese A-5 which was unbelievable!! Same quality Steak as when I buy from Jimmy P'S. We will definitely make this a regular stop. However, if your looking for Skirt Steak this is not the place you want to go!! read more

We had a reservation at 7:30, we did not get seated at 8:25. We sat down ordered and did not get our appetizer until 8:50. Then did not get our meal until 9:15. We did not end up leaving until 10:00pm. We were at the restaurant for 2.5 hours without horrible service. The food was average at best . We will not be returning. read more

The good, the bad and the ugly on the Continental. You can't beat the atmosphere and setting of this beautiful restaurant and add a live band playing dinner and after dinner dance music and it is one of those the best settings you'll find in Naples. The food and service however don't live up to what you would expect from what is billed as a high end steakhouse. When we arrived for our 8:00 reservation we were told our table would be ready in a half hour or so leading to the logical question of why we had to wait if we had a reservation? The response to that question was that a reservation just got you on the list and if you were not on the list then you had "no chance of eating here" Seriously? Anyway we were seated in 15 minutes and promptly greeted by our servers and then delivered a basket of stale bread. We ordered baked oysters for an appetizer which were very good but took about 20 minutes to get delivered. The steaks at this restaurant are good but definitely on the pricey side with several different farm producers and beef selections ( prime black angus, wagyu, Kobe etc) to choose from. Everything is ala carte with sides big enough for 2. We split a 24 oz T bone which was cooked well and can easily be split between 2 people and ordered a couple of sides. We had key lime pie for desert which was one of the better examples I have had of this Florida Classic. The service and bar need lots of work before this restaurant meets what diners would expect at this price level. We ordered sparkling water and glasses kept getting refilled with tap water, dirty plates sat on the table for too long and service in general was not as attentive as one would expect. Bar service was ugly, chocolate martini with no chocolate, champagne that had to be reordered 3 times because it was flat and half filled martinis that had to be sent back to be filled. The wine list could be a lot better too.So if you are looking for a great downtown Naples location for dinner and good food at elevated prices then this is a good choice ( or you could enjoy the atmosphere and order an $18 burger) but a better choice might be Campielo which is just down the street with the same owner. If you just want a great steak with outstanding service you won't go wrong at the Capital Grille. read more

This is a great place for dining, people watching, and enjoying a special occasion. The setting is beautiful and the live music is wonderful, not so loud that you can't have a conversation. All 4 of us ordered fish, not steak, and the prices were fair for the quality, service and presentation. It really is not just a steak place. The branzino was excellent! Ordered sides to share. Took a piece of key lime pie home because we were too stuffed for dessert. David was an outstanding server and should be commended. He was knowledgeable, professional, attentive but unobtrusive, and always available for recommendations and help. He made the dinner experience. read more

I had the unfortunate experience of dining at The Continental 01/19/2014. I am not sure which was worse, the food, the service, the prices or the wait staff. I will talk about the food for this comment. The fish dishes were essentially tasteless, forrtunately for the diner, the portions were tiny. The steak was truly a bundle of fat. It was so dark in the restaurant that you were unable to trim it properly. The wait staff when informed stated they were sorry you didn't enjoy the meal, shall I pack it to go? To many quality restaurants in Naples to waste a dining experience here. read more

Although we had a reservation, we waited 30 minutes for the table. However, I really liked the service and enjoyed the food. Especially sea scallops is a must try. Chef must be really good ! Main courses were delicious as well. read more

The room is beautiful and the atmosphere high energy. Unfortunately, they ran out of the fish of the day by 6:30. Ran out of Tanqueray. They took 20 min to deliver cocktail order to our table. The biggest disappointment was the quality of the steak. Just OK. At these prices, one expects to be dazzled. Went in expecting great things. Very disappointed. read more

We left after the appetizers. Had a dinner reservation for an outside table on a Fr night. This request was completely ignored. We were told that it would take another 45min. Went to the bar and had two cocktails and two appetizers. Cocktails are smaller than usual. Pear/Brie salad was small but good. Smoked salmon galette was very good but is rather a breakfast dish. Expensive on top. An hour later we could have had the table but decided to leave as it was very noisy in there. Don't get the restaurants theme/decor either... read more

Went during weeknight for drinks and appetizers. There was a 20 to 30 min wait for dinner table so we sat at one of the outside tables in the bar area on patio. No wait to sit there. Our server Kerrigan great. Drinks and food both came quickly and were delicious. Live band was also very good. read more

Our Friday night reservation was early, to beat the crowd. The rain probably took care of that concern. We felt overwhelmed by the huge number of servers, etc, walking around hoping for something to do. It was unnerving. Our server did an excellent job, and our food came as ordered. It was "marginally adequate" in every respect. Did not match the hype. The happy hour crowd was an intrusion. Very loud! The lights of 3rd Street are always a treat, but other than that, there is no reason to return. Campiello's or Sea Salt are a much better choice. read more

Food is great!!! the servers are attentive but give you the space necessary to enjoy the time with your friends or family. I decided to have use my day off from work to spend time with my daughter. After spending all morning shopping and just enjoying the beautiful day, it was time for lunch we decided to splurge and go to this beautiful decorate restaurant. will be going back this time with my husband to celebrate out anniversary!! read more

Enjoyed a relaxing and tasty afternoon at a soft opening at The Continental. Dan our server was attentive and professional and knew the menu very well. Want to thank Jessie for the invite and looking forward to tasting the rest of the menu in the future. read more

Steaks were amazing!! Waitstaff was friendly. The only thing about this place is that its decor needs some updating. But with food that great it doesnt even matter!!! read more

Great grouper sandwich, flavorful fries. Nice coffee. Great ambiance! Server was attentive. Nice cob salad, too. read more

Absolutely fantastic bar service. So sad we stumbled upon this spot on our last day. Bartenders are all friendly and knowledgeable which made for an awesome experience. Small bites- Cuban all beef hotdog sandwich and waygu beef sliders were amazing and we are typically seafood only people. Couldn't recommend enough. The space is gorgeous. So happy! read more

Great outdoor dining and bar area. Food was disappointing. The darling down wagyu #4 ny strip, medium-rare, was expected to be moist and tender and it was disappointingly not. The cut was thinner on one side which made half of the steak cook medium and dry. Carrots were over charred. The best meal at the table was the roasted chicken...which is not what a steak house should be known for. Like the ambiance but won't be running back. read more

It's pricey but the food was terrific! Really great steaks. Also had a tasty Caesar salad as well as one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. Would have given this five stars but because it's so pricey it's probably not a place for your average "dinner out", especially for families with kids. We did have a blast and would recommend this place to anyone staying in Naples and looking for a special dinner! read more

Not even one star for this dunghole. Got there for our 7:30 reservation and was seated promptly. Chose outdoor and was a mistake. Marco the waiter was nice enough. Ordered our food at 7:45. Waited until 9:05 for the "food" to come. First of all it was so dark you couldn't see what you were eating.My husband was trying to eat his undercooked way too expensive ribeye in the dark thus finding himself eating the fat too by mistake. The food was NOT good. Too much wrong with everything to list nut I suspect that a local place like Zookies (which is awful) would have been better. I'm so angry! What a waste! Never again!! Like my husband said....it's probably so dark because they don't want you to see the food. We had to use our phone flashlights to see anything. read more

We had a great experience here yesterday. First, they pour a great drink. I would go back just for the bar. Strong and very reasonably priced. Every dish that we had was delicious with the winner being the Tomahawk steak. It is up there with one of the best steaks I have ever had. It is pricey at $96 but plenty large for 2. I shared it with my daughter. It was cooked to perfection with a slight char on the outside and I can't stop thinking about it. The rest of our party said that their dishes were good also, but I don't care. Get the tomahawk steak read more

Positive and negative to report. The setting is awesome - creative and lovely decor. The music inside is a bit loud. Outdoor bar and patio is nicely done. We had a very good server, Juan. No complaints about the service. This is not a place to get in and out in an hour (maybe at the bar) so be prepared for a leisurely meal. And an expensive one! The shrimp cocktail was very good. My filet was excellent. Perfectly cooked. The pomme frites were also excellent. Husband's rib eye was chewy, and he felt it was over salted. Our other side, the spinach, was inedible. It was so salty it was like a mouthful of sea water! The manager was willing to get us another steak or another side, but we declined. He thanked us for the feedback. Desserts are fun - selection of home made pies. Or vanilla soft serve with some very grown-up toppings. When the bill came, my husband's steak and the spinach had been taken off the bill. Very classy. If they had comped dessert I would have expected that. And that guarantees we will go back and give it another try. read more

the ambiance is superb! outdoor dining even on a cool evening was fabulous. the waiter, eduard, was fun, engaging, and very knolwedgeablet, although he was going by michael if we had any complaints. lol the food was outstanding, from the wine to the steaks. the general manager came over and had a conversation in slavik with my gf. needless to say, a great time and great food was had by all! read more

My wife and I were visiting from Miami and know craft cocktails, yet have never experienced drinks such as these! Wow! Chad fixed us up some amazing concoctions that blew my wife and I away! Incredible! I would seriously recommend, unfortunately we did not have an opportunity to taste the food menu, but wow, big regards to chad and the bar team at continental! Wish we could take you guys back down with us to Miami. Best, Josh read more

We come here every year and the last 2 times we sat and waited for service and had to leave. We came on a Sunday and sat at middle table and waited for 10 minutes and we were not waited on. Every single waiter stared at us and still no one helped us. It is a shame because it's such an awesome place with great drinks and food but the service was so awful that we will never go back. My parents live in Naples and will no longer go back either. read more

Best craft cocktails in Naples. I wish the happy hour wasn't just 3-5 but if you can make it down there it is worth it. 1/2 price on all their cocktails. They truly craft them with an attention to detail and presentation. The bartenders are all friendly and if you tell them what you like they can recommend something or craft you something special. I go as often as I can which isn't nearly often enough. read more

What a wonderful restaurant and the staff is so helpful and go out of their way to accommodate you. Very special restaurant in Naples with a fabulous atmosphere and food..excellent wine selection.... read more

Well, I came here with kids so they should have thrown us out the back or put us next to the bathroom, but they didn't. The service was fabulous, the cocktails were delicious, and the $90 wagu steak was awesome! I thought the bill was going to be horrendous after multiple cocktails, wine, appetizers, etc. but it wasn't. I found the pricing fair for the quality of the food. It was great. The staff was friendly and handled my kids bouncing off the walls very well. I don't live near by but I will certainly be back. read more
