Came here on a friend's recommendation for lunch (with her) and was so impressed with the vibe! It's very open and bright, and the booths are comfortable and spacious. Really cool space! There's a good amount of seating, between the booths, bar, and tables. I wouldn't recommend bringing a very large group because the seating isn't very flexible, but it could accomodate groups. I got the Three Chopt Salad because I was craving something on the healthy side, and it was HUGE! Also not tossed, which caught me off guard. It looked pretty, but it was a bit tricky to mix in the bowl. I also got the broccolini, which was prepared perfectly, lightly blanched and still fresh and crunchy. My friend got the Buffalo Brussel Sprouts and let me try some and they were delicious!! Not spicy at all (I don't like spicy food) - just very crispy with the distinct buffalo flavor. I don't know how they made it so buffalo without drenching it in sauce, but they did and it was great. Highly recommend. To quote my friend, "you can't go wrong with anything on the menu" - and she works in the area so she's here a good amount. The service was excellent as well, and word on the street is that they serve a mean brunch, so, I'll be back!

Oh this place had me so excited when our appetizer arrived. My husband had already dived into while I went to wash my hands. I can't blame him ot, it looked amazing and tasted even better! We had the goat cheese appetizer with honey and roasted pine nuts with an Argula salad. It was amazing!!!!!!!!!! Then our meal came and I was on an amazing goat cheese high. My meal fell flat. I had the chicken parm. My chicken was way over cooked and very dry and hard. Something spicy was either in chicken or the sauce I'm not certain. I only took a few bites and couldn't eat it. Not once did the waiter ask if the meal was okay even when I pushed my full plate to him when he said can I take that for you. So that was totally disappointing. I decided at that point to skip the dessert and we went right next store to a little shop and grabbed some luscious desserts to go.

3 words: Hot. Chicken. Sandwich. The chef(s) behind that thing deserve a prime spot in heaven. The Continental is doing the lords work at this place. Amazing food, good prices, generous serving size, and a lovely vibe inside. They are singlehandedly making the world a better place through their doordash deals that go on every day, making it the same price to order a glorious hot chicken sandwich as it would cost to go pick it up. Seriously, they are doing everything right there. I've gotten 2 other people addicted to this sandwich and they've also fallen down the doordash wormhole. My friend texted me today saying, "Just demolished that chicken sandwich from Continental and I wish I could make love to the chef". Thought it was about time to write a google review for all the good they have done for me. Please never change, Continental.

My Waitress Morgan, was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, hospitable and went out of her way to help me "see" the Baked Goat Cheese I wanted to check out before I order it. I asked for the Salmon Reuben to have the Apple Jicama Slaw and the sauce on the side, as well as for the salmon to be "less cooked/moist." Everything came out as per ordered, including skipping the toasts that come with the Baked Goat Cheese. What a wonderful experience and restaurant, with the most attentive waitress to boot! For the first time in my life, I gladly tipped 25%! 😃

Came for dinner with a group of friends. There were 7 of us on a Friday night and got a table right away. I had a Joan Collins from the house cocktail menu. Refreshing and delightful. I ordered the zucchini falafel wrap with a side of broccolini. The falafel was a bit too salty for me but the broccolini was cooked perfectly. A couple friends ordered the burger and really enjoyed it. I tasted someone's sweet potato fries and those were yummy. I'd be interested to come back and try some other items on the menu. Friendly service.

My husband and I had an amazing lunch at the Continental Manchester. He had the Barbecue Beef Brisket with the most delicious french fries EVER and I had the Zucchini Falafel Wrap with the jicama slaw on the side. I usually steal just one french fry when he orders them, but this time I confess I couldn't stop! They were SPECTACULAR!. Everything was perfectly prepared and the service was impeccable! Then I went into the attached market and got a farro salad to go. It was so big, I made meals out of it for 3 days.
