   Fantastic hip brunch spot with a wide variety of their unique dinner items and elevated brunch favorites. Service excellent. Highly recommend Chilaquiles, but with poached eggs and a peach mimosa!

   I used to go to the Continental Mid-Town for drinks frequently when I was younger, but never actually had dinner there. It had probably been about 12 years since I was last there, so I figured I would take my wife here for dinner and see how the food was. I always liked the vibe in this place, it's very energetic and lively. Unfortunately, now that I'm older and just wanted to have a conversation with my wife over dinner, I realized how loud it is in this place. The music is blaring like I'm in a club and my wife and I had to scream at each other all night. But I tried to not let that put a damper on my evening. We each ordered a drink while we decided on our meal choices and they were excellent! However, the food was not as excellent. We ordered chicken lettuce wraps for our appetizer and it was just okay. I got crab pasta and my wife got curried shrimp. Both were decent but not amazing. I guess this place really is a better drinking spot than a date night dinner place. With that being said, the prices were reasonable for a center city restaurant, definitely lower than some of the surrounding restaurants. So or what I paid, the food was pretty good. It didn't wow us but we still enjoyed it. f We did not venture up to the rooftop bar, which is the highlight here. I've spent many drunken nights at that bar and had a ton of fun. So if I go back to the Continental, I'll most likely just go there for drinks at the rooftop bar. I'll call out that the drinks were around the same price or almost the same price as the main dinner choices, so be prepared for an expensive night of drinking if that's what your here for. Final rating - This is a fun place to hang out with really good drinks, but don't expect a fine dining or even upscale dining experience. As long as you go in there with this expectation, the Continental is a go-to Philly spot!

   We referred to our dinner as Stephen Starr "fast food." In and out of the restaurant in well under an hour. First courses came out fast, followed quickly by the entrees. It was ok but prefer many of the other spots more--Parc, The Love, Talulah's Garden--among them. If you are looking for a more casual, fast experience, nothing wrong with the Continental for a quick bite.

   The Continental is always in my back pocket as a fun option for excellent food and cocktails with something for everyone. I have been coming here for nearly 20 years over many phases of my life and it has never let me down.
