We had a great experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel comfortable as soon as we arrived.The beef Wellington was excellent cooked exactly to a medium doneness as requested, which can be difficult to get right. The pastry was nicely prepared, and the overall flavor was delicious and well balanced.We also enjoyed the Caesar salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and a great complement to the main course.Overall, the food quality, service, and atmosphere made for a very enjoyable dining experience. We would definitely return and recommend this restaurant to others looking for a great meal and excellent service.
Enjoyed a wonderful 7 course tasting menu with my Canadian friends. We appreciated every single course. Squid ink pasta with sable fish, tender braised lamb and sticky toffee pudding were amongst our favorites. Flavors, textures and presentation are top-notch. Highly recommend.
Came here for valentines day 7 course chef tasting menu. I have to say one of the best chef tastings ive been too. Portion sizes were good and the flavors were outstanding. Every course was a hit, even the NY salad! You can tell each meal is prepared with thought and appreciation. Each course had unique and savory flavors and really stood out as one of the best chef tasting ive been too in the city. We will be back!
Pleasantly surprised by the amazing food and flavours. You can tell the focus is on quality and not mass production with the limited amount of tables they have in the family run vibe. We enjoyed a nine course meal that lasted close to four hours, but every bit was enjoyed, and the dishes were well seasoned. We had one person in our group with a few allergies and the chef catered to this person in a few of the courses and made sure to make it special. The courses featured seafood and beef - the beef was so tender it could be sliced with a fork. The only picture missing from our experience was the salad.Thank you Continental for this wonderful culinary adventure!
Bon Appetit!Had an exceptional dinner with the 2026 YYCEXP 6-course gourmet menu; which offered a great overview of French cuisine. Marvelous use of ingredients, wonderful presentation, fantastic flavours, very attentive service, and exceptional deployment of the tableside preparation: Crêpes Flambé dessert. Très excellent, Merci Beaucoup!!

Every dish that came out was excellent, service was impeccable, and the ambience was exactly what you want for a night out with friends. Warm, cozy, with just the right amount of buzz without being too loud to talk.
We sat by the windows which were open so the gentle breeze came in and it was such a vibe. We could see and hear the buzz of the street below while still enjoying the intimacy of the restaurant.
Definitely great French cuisine!! We had the escargot appetizer and Caesar salad, both excellent!! The wine choices were great ! And our main dishes were very delicious! The Beef Wellington and sable fish were both cooked to perfection!
As always it was an wonderful experience! Eric and Dawn are amazing hosts. This visit we did the 9 course experience with the premium wine pairing, the food was terrific, Eric's choices for the wine pairing was perfect.
