I celebrated my birthday here and had an amazing experience! The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and the music was fantastic. This restaurant is perfect for a birthday celebration, with a diverse crowd that created a great vibe. The food was delicious—we loved the appetizers—and the drinks were strong, so we didn’t need many. I highly recommend it!

Best restaurant in DC. A must visit when in the city. Food was excellent and flavorful. Drinks were refreshing and on point. Service was attentive and impeccable.Ambiance is awesome and vibrant. On a personal note, I inquired about their African Map lapel pins and one of two managers personally came over to presented one of their own to me. Now that’s above and beyond customer care. Thank you The Continent DC for a beautiful experience.
