The Continental at Ford House

“This is a very nice restaurant. Very clean and aesthetically appealing. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is well prepared, beautiful and tasty. It can get quite busy for brunch; best to reserve. Prices are reasonable. The cinnamon rolls are gigantic! Although those are good, they don’t taste much like cinnamon. They do give plenty of cinnamon butter. I would just recommend having also the option of rolls glanced with cinnamon. I called to make a change and Katherine was great!”

“We had a delightful experience at The Continental at Ford House for its first Saturday brunch. The biscuits & gravy, along with the veggie omelet, were delicious. The calm, relaxed atmosphere made for a peaceful start to the weekend.”

“I had a wonderful dinner at The Continental at the beautiful Ford House. The salads are huge and flavorful, and my entree of salmon with risotto was delicious. I felt their squash soup wasn’t thick enough, but it was still tasty. Their signature butter cake is like a very sweet blondie rather than a cake, if that’s your cup of tea. I’ll definitely be coming again!”

“UPDATE: Sitting where we were looking outside at the pitch black did not add to the vibe or ambience in any way and we do plan on being back in the springtime during the day to experience The Continental once again END UPDATE: Service was pretty good, server was gone for a while once, probably break time.. Atmosphere is well, not much of it I suppose, kinda boring. Would be nice if they lit up the outside area some more so there's some kind of view after 5 p.m. in the winter. Noticed the table was sticky right away and can't stand that, their is enough money flowing through this place that we shouldn't have our sleeves sticking to the table, they can afford to have them refinished. Crumbs on our table and sticky spray on the menu was gross also. Short rib carbonara was just ok, needed more flavor was really bland. Thought since it was pasta it would be filling as I had an appetite, would have been if I felt like eating more. The sweet potato fries on the other hand were the best I have ever had. Pear and pomegranate salad was fantastic also. The roasted pear and beet buratta was an excellent choice for an appetizer. Didn't have any problems with our reservation when we arrived. Oh and the old fashioned is here pretty much perfect also, and the hot ginger toddy was amazing and just what was needed on a super cold date night.”

“Overall, our experience at the restaurant was mixed. We were very disappointed by the behavior of two managers — they were unfriendly, unsmiling, and their attitude felt quite hostile and toxic. We came as a group of 12 and were made to wait, even though we had a reservation and had previously agreed on a table on the terrace. They were unwilling to move the table to the terrace, and when we asked if the door could at least be kept closed, we were answered rudely and told that this was “not allowed.” On a positive note, the food and drinks were excellent — everything was delicious and well prepared. The waitstaff also deserves special mention: all of the servers were polite, attentive, and welcoming, with absolutely no complaints about their service. They genuinely helped improve the overall experience.”
