Campbell BirdNovember 25, 2014Check out the upstairs for a retro-mod lounge area. If you eat here, get the Rad Na.
Mike ChauOctober 27, 2013Try the Liquid Chocolate Cake - Warm chocolate cake with salted caramel pretzel ice cream.
Christopher DellOlioOctober 2, 2011If you like both lobster and macaroni and cheese then you must get the lobster mac n cheese, it's well worth the money.

Alexandra MarieSeptember 27, 2012Happy hour has great prices and awesome selection! And a fun and funky atmosphere too
STARR RestaurantsJune 9, 2011Enjoy Continental Midtown's swank rooftop patio, funky mid-century style and delicious global tapas.
Mariana ColumnaApril 9, 2011You will love the hot, made on site chocolate donuts!! They are absolutely delicious! Literally melt in your mouth and are served hot!!!
Andrew RailApril 22, 2013Get in by 11:30 for a good seat for lunch. Stay away from the uber-bland Chicken Curry Naan-wich. Their other stuff was good.
EduardoSeptember 17, 2012Try the Shrimp Tacos, Scallops, Ahi Tuna and the Quinoa Salad! Can't go wrong!
Marissa MAugust 18, 2010Try the Perfect Pear. grey goose la poire, thatcher's organic cucumber liqueur, st. germain elderflower liqueur, lemon and soda. Delicious and refreshing drink.
Follow FoodieAugust 6, 2011Still a fan of the classics: Rad na thai chicken and the calamari salad. But add extra calamari to your salad, it's WAY better that way.
Lowell DavisMay 9, 2013Lots of douchebags and the glass looking in to the bathrooms is terrible but good food. Not enough to make up for the hipster douchers perhaps but still good.
Tawn ScottonFebruary 4, 2012It's a martini bar, so I guess you should try one of them. BUT Lobster Mashed potatoes are a must!
Interesting fact: our waiter said they can make almost all of their signature cocktails alcohol free!- Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 12, 2011Shoe string French fries tossed in Chinese mustard? Yeah, that's what we call continental cuisine. And also what we call amazing. Read more
Gianna NebbiaFebruary 18, 2018Go for the atmosphere. Food isn’t bad but a little overrated - the onion soup dumplings came out looking great but were just alright. Rad na noodle salad was pretty plain
Frankie BuckleAugust 24, 2014Fantastic decor, good food but really cold! Was desperate to leave to warm up which was a shame...- Ali MMay 11, 2014They have a one way mirror in the ladies bathroom so the public can see in. So creepy
Tim StreetDecember 13, 2011You might want to visit the rooftop bar for desert where you can order @sloan's S'mores
Cassie Garretson-DunkelApril 20, 2013Sit on the rooftop but be weary of the fruity drinks! They include candy.
Carey ShunskisJuly 6, 2011(waiter) michael is awesome and cute. Bartenders on the roof rock and make your birthday amazing!!
Meg BowesJune 19, 2011Amazing dessert. The ahi tuna, hanger steak, cheesesteak rolls are all really good.
JulieJanuary 30, 2011For brunch: loved the coffee and the poached eggs with dill hollandaise over smoked salmon hash.
Laura G AdamsSeptember 26, 2010Get the twizzle to drink and the French onion soup dumplings to eat. Everything was good, but those were the best!
Cold FrontsApril 30, 2011Went here for brunch and it was okay. Went here for dinner and it was awesome. Lesson: go there for dinner.- The lobster mac n cheese and french onion soup dumplings are the best items on the menu. You must get them!
