The Continent D.C. did not disappoint! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. All of the staff was very nice, accommodating and they checked in to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. The mocktails were tasty, the oyster appetizer as well and the snapper platter was filling and tasty for two. I appreciated the various dipping sauces and that they had options that weren't spicy for the tame of tongue. The ambiance was gorgeous and I liked all the decor touches, art and color choices. We were greeted by two managers and appreciate their attention. Highly recommend! Also for special events as they have the space!
