Fantastic YYC EXP lunch experience. The menu options were great, food was incredibly good, service was excellent and overall vibe of the restaurant was relaxed and enjoyable. They let you take your time and and savour the dishes, and each course was noteworthy. Highly recommended! It was my first time trying the restaurant and I’m now a fan! Will be back for sure.

I love this location so much. Food was in great quality. Although the dining room is petite, they only have 2 servers taking care of the whole area. They seemed too busy and often scrambling to get drinks order to tables. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was great and we had lots of time to catch up. I will definitely go back to Continental.
