Continental Country Club - Wildwood

First visit in awhile. Enjoyed a drink to start the night right. Service was excellent. I opted for their special (didn’t catch name) but it was a huge dish that consisted of mussels, scallops, shrimp, pasta in marinara sauce. So filling and plentiful seafood serving. Drinks packed a punch. Always a great place to go when wanting the try something new. Give this a try on your next opportunity.

A single page menu and tables with tablecloths not placed on top of each other were out first clues. We expected a true dining experience with special friends and we were not disappointed. Knowledgeable and experienced wait staff. Robust drinks. Ability to engage in conversation without including several other tables. We chose to order differently and there was nothing but favorable reviews around the table. The crab cakes would compete well with the best from Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay. Caution however, the deserts are made on site and they are scrumptious as well as generous ... perhaps better to share. In the know locals go here for wonderful dining.

We ate outside and enjoyed the casual atmosphere. Food and service were great. We enjoyed our **** Marys and Manhattans. Hats off to the bartender. Food varied from pizza, to the bisque and salad, to entree. Everyone was pleased with their selections.

Interesting location, Continental Country Club off of SR44. When one hears the words country club, one immediately thinks golf and a nice country club atmosphere. This has golf but a nice country club atmosphere not so much. The windows overlook the pool area which is generic to say the least, continuing with more of the windows you see the driveway to this establishment, as well as the parking lot. So the nice large windows allow for natural light but not too much else. There wasn’t a hostess to greet you, so we just went in bc our part of our party was already seated. Our waitress Michele was extremely organized and systematic. Food was good and fair portions. For example turkey club $15.50 with a side. I think this would fill most men adequately. Their desserts looked delicious. Had a friend come for dinner and said it was the best chicken parmigiana he had ever had. He is Italian from NY too. Would I go back? Yes for the food but not for the atmosphere. Close to the Villages. Once onto SR44 about 2 miles away.

Everything was remarkable, except the hostess who was a…well less than delightful. We had reservation, love the pianist and wait staff. Just thought I was treated poorly when I arrived. Wait until the rest of your party of seven has arrived…Why?
