    Best Bugers

    I love the burgers they come with your choice of fries or a salad. Burgers are served at lunch or weekend Brunch. I went once for dinner. We had 4 different tappas. We did not enjoy any of them. Service has always been excellent.

    Now I know what they're talking about!

    I thought this place was so cool! The staff was friendly. The food was interesting. The drink list is creative. The prices are in-line. The atmosphere is urban-chic. I would caution first-timers though. Your server may convince you that each of your should order 2 plates each. Not necessary. If you're not in a hurry, try ordering a plate each and one to share. That might be enough! Very close to Ritz theaters for pre-movie! Would love to go again.

    it's just ok

    this place is very overrated!! I have lived in center city for over 5 years and have dined here on several occassions. I have never been too impressed with the food. I think all steven starr restaurants offer the same type of food... it sounds good and the names of the dishes are cool, but they never deliver on the flavor. nothing i can't make at home better!

    Love this place

    I love the Continental. The food is great. The sea bass that someone else said was too salty, I thought was the best sea bass I have ever had. It was perfectly cooked. Mmmm. I wish I had some more right now. I have never had a bad meal there. Only minor complaint is that it is very cramped.

    Cool Spot... Diner Food....

    Really nice interior and atmosphere.. Really a cool spot to hang out and drink with friends... Only somewhat good tasting thing on the menu- The octopus salad and the squid pro quo..... Rest? Not worth it.... Chilian Seabass with miso sauce (seemed like they dumped a box of salt in with the miso glaze), Kobe sliders (had better quarter pounder with cheese from Mcdonalds), Continental salad (did they make this couple hours before?? soggy soggy soggy....), crab dumplings (had better at a local chinese restaurant made out of crab sticks).

    A philly standard

    Love the Continental. Great salads. Fantastic shoestring fries and mustard sauce, a portabella "cheesesteak" that rocks and just about everything i've tried there is good. Never went for brunch. Not too many places are very good for brunch, so if they stink on this category, join the club. :-)

    American Blah

    If they spent as much time making sure their food has flavor as they did hanging the giant martini olives from the ceiling, I might have been more impressed. As it was, the waffles were unimaginative and served with a "compote" that were, in actuality, defrosted blueberry jam; and the breakfast quesadilla was greasy, dry, and not worth the effort to chew.
