Terrific food and stellar service. Happy holidays!

I dined here with a friend and, being from the Low country, was excited about the menu. The Sunday brunch was awesome. There was a variety of selections and the food did not disappoint. I’m looking forward to coming for dinner the next time I’m in town.

Absolutely wonderful meal! Food was delicious and the service was impeccable.

Tonight, my best friend and I had the pleasure of dining at The Continent, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a special experience. The food was incredible. I ordered the huge tiger shrimp with jollof rice and spinach, and it was a flavor-packed masterpiece. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, juicy, and seasoned with just the right amount of spice, while the jollof rice was rich and smoky…the perfect accompaniment. The sautéed spinach added a fresh, earthy balance to the dish. My best friend had the Branzino with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables, and she couldn’t stop raving about it. The fish was tender with a crispy, golden skin, the mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. We started with plantain chips and lightly toasted cinnamon wafers, which set the tone for the rest of the meal. The plantain chips were crisp and savory, while the cinnamon wafers had a hint of sweetness and warmth that paired beautifully. To top it all off, we shared a slice of moist lemon cake for dessert. It was the perfect ending…light, fluffy, and bursting with citrus flavor. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff made us feel right at home, balancing professionalism with genuine warmth. Our server was attentive without being intrusive and made excellent recommendations that elevated our experience. And let me talk about the ambience…it was perfection. The restaurant has this upscale yet laid-back lounge vibe, with stylish decor and soft Afrobeat tunes that made the entire evening feel like an escape. Whether you’re there for a night out with friends, date, or a special celebration, the setting elevates the experience in a way that feels effortless. My best friend and I couldn’t stop talking about how The Continent is a “triple threat”: incredible food, exceptional service, and a gorgeous atmosphere.

Dauphine’s is an absolute gem in Washington, DC, blending the vibrant flavors of New Orleans Creole cuisine with a contemporary twist. From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The food is nothing short of outstanding. Their menu offers a variety of small and large plates, allowing you to sample a wide range of their creative dishes—including a fantastic raw bar. Every bite bursts with flavor, showing their dedication to both tradition and innovation. The bar menu is equally impressive, with options for every palate. What truly sets Dauphine’s apart is the exceptional service. The wait staff is attentive, striking the perfect balance between being available and giving you space to enjoy your meal. The manager stopping by after each course to ensure we were happy was a thoughtful touch that elevated the experience even further. If you’re visiting DC, I can’t recommend Dauphine’s enough. Whether you’re a lover of Creole cuisine or just looking for an incredible meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. Five stars all the way!
