Continent Brooklyn

It was my first time at The Continent and I had a great experience! I came with a big group for my friend’s bday dinner. The atmosphere was gorgeous, great music, and so perfect for beautiful pics. The service was absolutely amazing, the servers were so attentive and sweet. The FOOD, was absolutely DELISH!! My favorite appetizers were the Suya lamb chops, the wings, and the salad. For the mains my favorites were the oxtail Lomein, the fried chicken, the salmon, and the vegan pasta. I will be back for sure!

I’ve been hearing so much things about this restaurant so I decided to give it a chance . I went on a Friday towards closing so service was kind of slow . We were told the kitchen was closing soon so we hurried up and ordered. The pepper prawns aren’t what I expected at all . The oxtail in the fry rice was overcooked and the lobster fried rice wasn’t worth the hype either . The drinks were a 10/10 , the dj played great music . Our server Kat was amazing. I guess my expectations was a little to high .

My girlfriend and I were excited to try this spot after seeing so many glowing reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was far from what I’d hoped — and definitely not reflective of the vibrant, bold flavors Caribbean food is known for. The waitress was ok. The real disappointment was the food. Caribbean cuisine should be bursting with spice, depth, and soul — but what we got was bland and uninspired. The shredded oxtail in the bao bun was bland and the lamb shank was VERY gamey. The mashed cassava that came with the lamb dish had a weird taste. The oxtail fried rice was ok. What made this experience worse was that we were charged for the lamb chops that we ordered but changed our mind the next minute since we were getting the lamb shank. The waitress went to the kitchen to cancel the order yet we were still charged for it. Granted, it’s partially my fault for not verifying the check before paying but the waitress did tell us it was cancelled and not to worry about it. Honestly, I don’t understand how this place has so many positive reviews. Maybe they used to be better, or maybe we came on an off day, but I can only speak to what we experienced — and it was a letdown from start to finish. Caribbean food deserves better representation than this.

From the minute I walked it I knew it was going to be a great experience. The hostess was soft and courteous. My first drink I had at the bar was a lychee martini. TEN OUT OF TEN. Like literally I would come back simply for that. I was then seated. My server was super attentive and amazing . I ordered the tamarind wings mac and cheese scotch bonnet fried chicken and ox tail lomein. Im coming back for seconds of everything. The food the ambiance everything was perfect

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Experience at The Continent Brooklyn! I hosted my son’s 17th birthday dinner here with 8 teenage boys, and the staff especially our amazing waitress Karen made it an absolute breeze. She was kind, attentive, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The boys have not stopped talking about the lamb chops and oxtail lo mein total hits! I personally loved the snapper, and the energy and vibe of the restaurant were just perfect. Stylish, vibrant, and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back for a girls night. Thank you to The Continent Brooklyn for helping create such a special memory!

My girlfriend and I went for drinks and early dinner last week and really looking forwrd to the food . To our surprise food was SUBPAR. We came here for delicious food but extremely bland. We ordered oxtail bao buns- i tasted the meat but no seasoning. We also asked the server whats good and she seemed like she was either rushed (we were the only customer at that time) or brushed us off with quick answers saying it was up to us. We did get her recommendations of Lamb Shank and was so gamey and cassava with mushrooms was just ok. The oxtail fried rice was decent and so were the Sorrel drinks. Overall expected a better meal and price was still up there. Pictures of meals look better than taste-sorry!

I attended a private birthday dinner and everything was fantastic. Each course was delicious and the staff was great. The ambiance is super chic as well. Loved it and would go back for a date night/private event!

They have to do some pest control in front of the building. There were huge rats in the grass area and they were running around in the front. Climbing in and out the garbage. The hotel and restaurant ambiance was great! The DJ was awesome! Played a little bit of everything. The service was a little slow. The wings and salad were delicious. I had the oxtail Lomein and expected more Asian flavor. It was just oxtail over lo mein pasta. Brussel sprouts were good. Mac and cheese was okay. The drinks were strong. I had a ginger smash up and others at the table had a lychee. I ended up having a mocktail, Passion Fruit Nojito. For dessert I had the coconut cake which was okay. I’d come back again.

The ambiance was great with good music playing in the background. The drinks and food were really delicious. Service was okay, but overall a great experience.

I loved Continent Brooklyn. If I can give it 10 stars I would, but Yelp only allows five. They had amazing service, especially for a busy day like New Year's Eve. The crowd wasn't exactly what I expected, but the crowd wasn't horrible. It's just that it was much younger than I assumed for New Year's Eve. The restaurant is situated inside of a hotel so it may be a little hard to find but once you find it as well worth it. The host was kind and also offered to check our coats in their coat check which was a good addition to your reservation because sometimes when you're dressed nice you don't really want to hang your coat on the back of your chair or have it sitting with you at dinner. There was a prefix menu for New Year's Eve dinner service so there was limited options versus their full menu. However, the prefix was still very good. The prefix allowed for a welcome drink, a bottle of champagne for toasting, an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. I can't remember the cocktail I had as my welcome drink however it was really good. We chose appetizers and entrées so we could have a variety. I do not eat oysters, but my date seemed to really love them. The wings were really good well seasoned well sauced and cooked well. I had the snapper and the gravy and vegetables were very tasty. The snapper itself could've used a pinch more of something. I don't know what it was but it just needed a dash of something. My date had the lamb chop entrée, and I tasted it. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The meat was very tender and seasoned well. Service was exceptional and our server did an amazing job. I would definitely revisit this restaurant for dinner service.

I think my favorite fusion is Caribbean Asian. They got it right!!!! Let's start with it's Black Owned, it's Caribbean (which I am), the food was impeccable. The decor, ambiance was magnificent. The service from Mikail was GREAT. The hostess was delightful. I would go back. Con: party of 3, and the bill said party of 6. It was my bday, so my party decided not to make a big deal abt it. Usually I would've said something, it was as if we weren't going to tip him or something. And it would've been more than the 20% because he was really good.

Our food took about 45 minutes to come out, which was a bit excessive. When it finally arrived, it was hit or miss--the steak was good, but the lobster and wings were not good. I receive my wings cold .The snapper was just okay. Given the day, maybe the kitchen was just off, but they definitely weren't on point. Service was another issue. Our waiter wasn't attentive, which made the long wait feel even worse. To top it off, they added gratuity to the check for two people???? That's disgusting, dishonest and against the state guidelines.

Yes yes and yes!! I came here with friends on a Sunday evening. Its kinda like a speakeasy to Hotel Indigo. There is no signage or entrance from the outside, you must go into the hotel. Decor is beautiful a very grown and sexy vibe. It's a very comfortable environment with plenty of seating. Everything I had was delicious! Started with the Pepper pawns, which was full flavor and the toasted coco bread delish!!! For my main the lamb shank was sooo tender, succulent, well seasoned A+. Then for dessert we tried the both the mousse so smooth and silky. And the cake so light and tasty. I enjoyed it all I do recommend!!!

This beautiful spot is tucked away discreetly in hotel indigo. Though there are signs the entrance is through the hotel lobby. Very quiet night in which we dined with only two other parties. There's indoor outdoor and upstairs dining spaces We were met by our incredible serve Natalie immediately. Drink orders were taken. I opted for a lemonade. My friends raved about their cocktails. Appetizers I had the tamarind wings. Yes they were friend hard but it was flavorful. My main course was the oxtail low mein. Absolutely delicious and large serving size that can be shared by two. I finished all of my food The staff found out we were celebrating our birthdays and decided to celebrate us with glasses of champagne and desserts on the house. Everything was amazing. The decor was So GROWN and intimate. I would Recommended For a date night or birthday celebration, anniversary etc. loved my first time here !!!

My friends and I came here for our end of year dinner on a Thursday evening. Our reservation was at 6:30pm but my friends were very late so I hung out at the bar for a bit until those latecomers showed up. I ordered a ginger smash which was so tasty. The restaurant was empty so luckily when my friends finally showed up we were able to be seated right away. The ladies ordered various things from the menu. I ordered the salmon which was really good. I tasted the oxtail bao, it was tasty but salty. I heard the same comment about the oxtail fried rice, that it was salty. All in all the visit was good. The restaurant is beautiful. Dark and sexy. Would work well for a date night. There is also outdoor seating. The staff was great, super friendly and very informative. There was a waiter with locs that gave us well informed, honest recommendations.

I will say a 5 rating for me means a lot!!!!!! This is a confirmation of having a great ambience, service and food that met all of my expectations. The food had great flavor and was good portion sized. Our waiter was very nice and attentive to us during our time there which is so important for me & my mate. This is a perfect date night location. You can also check out Aliyah which is upstairs and grab drinks at the bar. If you are in the Brooklyn area make reservations and enjoy!!!! You will no be disappointed trust your fellow Yelper

Upscale romantic ambiance in Hotel Indigo in Williamsburg with attentive service and mouth watering Caribbean food options including the lamb chops, pepper prawns, lobster burger, and oxtail lo mein with generous portions. The whiskey ginger smash and lychee love cocktails hit the spot.

Ok so boom, we went here as an add on to a party we were attending in the ballroom, therefore they had a special for $75 that included a glass of wine/champagne, appetizer and a meal. They need to make that deal standard cause that food was really really good. I had the lamb chops to start and baaaaaby I'm so mad I couldn't suck the marrow out that thing (they lucky I was out in public lol). They were so good. And they gave you 3. For my main entree I had the salmon. It had some white sauce on it which was very tasty. The lamb chops tasted better than the salmon. I'm sure I'll go back just for the lamb chop But the service and ambiance was very apropos for our black tie event. We had 2 glasses of champagne cause we were having just that good of a time.

First time trying this place out, and I must admit it was not bad at all. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was on point too. Music was top tier. Service overall was good, until we received the bill. Are parties of three suppose to be charged an automatic gratitude of 20%? The server put this table as a party of 6 and I am still unsure as to why? That did not sit well with me, but little did he know he shorted himself of the actual amount we were planning to tip him. I genuinely believe he did not think we were going to tip and shorted himself of his actual service given. NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. I was going to ask for the manager, but it was my sister's birthday and didn't want to make a big deal about it but that didn't sit well with me. As someone who works in hospitality management we know that's fraud, and does not look well for business. Smh! You got to do better.

The food, the service, the ambiance all absolutely amazing. We arrived early and got seated immediately, the hostess was polite and professional, so we were happy upon entry. Once seated we were greeted quickly by our waiter who was super informative about the menu. We went with the oxtail bal and oysters for appetizers and were happy with our choices! The boa buns were soft and balanced the flavors of the oxtail perfectly. The oysters were topped with callalo and I didn't know what to expect with that combo but I was pleasantly surprised. For entrees we had the fried lobster and the oxtail low mein. The lobster was worth every penny, it was cooked well and so was the ackee and saltfish we gave it a 10/10. The oxtail was a little salty but the noodles were cooked to perfection. The star of the show were for sure the drinks. The bartender needs a raise cause each and every drink we got was a winner. I walked on the restaurant and floated out. We order two drinks each and received complimentary champagne since we were celebrating our anniversary and the drinks got the job done. I had the Royal spritz and it was a smooth drink not too sweet and the liquor wasn't overpowering. I can't wait to come back and try out the rest of the menu. Kk

Food was absolutely excellent, the ambiance is sexy and classy and the staff is amazing and attentive. I came here with a group of picky friends that have food allergies and they were very accommodating of their gluten free allergy and vegetarian options. The drinks were very cool and had an excellent presentation and were strong! I love this black owned restaurant

Love this place. Neatly located on first floor of Indigo Hotel. This place is dimly lit, "happy" urban music permeating the air at a good decibel, wrapped in a minimalistic yet modern decor. There is an outdoor patio that I guess is open during summer months. Service was A1, hostess, waitress, and bus boy all scored high mark. I have not a bad word to say about their service. Now the food. The food was delicious. Everything was cooked the way I wanted and everything tasted delicious. There are some pretty dope cocktails, as well a full bar.

Beautiful ambiance. Very modern and upscale. Gorgeous space. Dillan was our server and was very helpful to us when we asked questions about the menu. We started with sparkling water. And had the tamarind wings along with the steamed mussels that came in this delicious sauce that I asked to take home after I was done tearing up the mussels. Wings were crispy and had nice flavors to them. For our entrees my girlfriend ordered the Rasta Pasta that was delightful and I ordered the lobster burger. It came with 2 patties and lobster on top with yuca fries. So worthy of the calories. I wasn't able to finish the entire thing so brought half home for lunch the next day. Our glasses were never empty and we left very thankful and pleased with our experience! Wonderful dining escapade.

Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Cocktails: 3.5/5 Food: 2.5/5 I was excited to try this restaurant due to the social media marketing and following Chef Scotley. Truly thrilled to hear that they were opening a 2nd location (original in Atl). We booked reservations for a girls night out-dinner session. Great location, amazing decor, the music set dope vibes and the staff were very pleasant. The menu offered an array of Caribbean and Asian fusion dishes. My issue was the execution (great recipes but cooks need to QA dishes before sending out). The dishes lacked flavor. I do believe that this does not speak to Chef Scotleys work (he was not there that night) but more so of mass production. At this price point, I anticipated a more polished result from the description of the dishes especially the Escovitch Lobster (needed more pickled peppers/onions and a sauce) and the oxtail Bao (very dry and needed more Caribbean spices). The best item was the pepper prawns. I will revisit in a few months to provide an update.

I was soo skeptical at first, as I previously went to Aliya restaurant in the same hotel & was disappointed. But, back to Continent! Food- First of all, you will be spending your coins. The appetizers/starters were in the $20 range while the entrees were $30+ (emphasis on the plus e.g. snapper ~$50, lobster ~$70, lamb ~40). So we opted for a mix of the cheaper dishes- fried chicken with salad, lamb chop starter, 4 cheese mac&cheese, and tamarind wings. All delicious except the wings (tasted more soy than tamarind). But everything else was delic & a great portion size. The space was beautiful and had great large windows which shone in a lot of natural light. While I was sitting on the plush, grey velvet chairs I could see the outdoor seating which separated the street & gave you a little people watching. Servers don't rush you & are nice, but didn't seem to have the best understanding of the menu. Gave a pass since it's relatively new. And the R&B music/ seeing beautiful black people gave me all the feels. All in all, I'll definitely come back. Just know, they have a dress policy including no caps.

This is Continent Brooklyn restaurant's Lobster Burger! Two Jerk certified Angus beef patties + garlic butter poached lobster meat + Muenster cheese + lettuce + tomatoes + Jerk BBQ sauce with yucca fries. Ambiance: Sexy, intimate. Service: Staff diligently works to please.

The ambiance is nice but the food was not great at all. Unfortunately I won't be back.

I loved the sexy ambiance. They played good music in the background. The service was amazing. The food was delicious. Those lamb chops were perfectly seasoned. The oxtail fried rice was excellent. The drinks are bomb. And the owner is a fine as hell Black man. What else do you need?

The food was absolutely delicious, complemented by a fantastic ambience. The drinks were well-crafted, and the service was attentive and friendly. A truly delightful dining experience!

We decided to come to BK for date night after seeing a IG post and knowing their is a location in ATL. Continent did not disappoint. The service was great from the greeting of the hostess to our waiter and the mixologist. The decor is beautiful and not overdone. The food was delicious! Another family was finishing their dinner when they were exiting the gentleman said to make sure we try the fish and oxtails, which was already on my list of must try from the IG post. We were not disappointed at all. My partner had the whiskey ginger smash and I had the stush martini both cocktails were definitely made with precision and caring for quality ingredients. We started with the Continent Salad which was divine and the shrimp mandu (dumplings). The flavors were superb and again the ingredients on point. Entrees: I had the oxtail lo mein and my partner had the fried whole red snapper, again no complaints the taste was outstanding and just loved the entire experience. We went upstairs to the roof top after and was surprised to see a pool and cabanas at Hotel Indigo. A really wonderful evening, we are looking forward to returning the Continent BK but also checking out the ATL location the next time we are in town. Please maintain the high quality food, cocktails, service and overall vibe.
