Dinner at the Continental was a very nice experience. The shoestring fries were a great appetizer . I got the NY Strip steak and it was very good. Another person in my family loved the lobster Mac and Cheese. For dessert the Brookie with ice cream was incredible! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

My husband and I met my in-laws and his sister. The interior was very cool. Hip might be a better work. We sat upstairs on an outdoor deck. We ordered a bunch of different items and shared amongst the 5 of us. It was absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was a favorite of mine. My husband really loved the shoestring fries. I am excited to go back again. The service was wonderful. I loved the lobster Mac and was surprised to find it was rice. Very glad of it. The French onion soup dumplings were absolutely perfect. The recommendation to pull them out and let them cool was very helpful. Everything we tried was enjoyed.

I absolutely loved the R&B vibe. The brussels and Korean fried chicken were amazing. Definitely get that dish with the rice and a spoon☺. Be warned The Smoking Section is good and dangerous

Great place for brunch and dinner. I’ve mostly done brunch. Good to go early before it gets busy although planning in advance will get you a seat. Summer does have rooftop seating at times. Attentive service and part of the Starr restaurant group which is consistent in service and quality.

Randomly stopped here on a beautiful late spring day spent around Rittenhouse Square. We just had some tea, coffee and fruit, as we had late lunch reservations elsewhere. Never been here, and had no idea it was a Starr restaurant…. thought we were going into a dive diner! Nice place, cool vibe, good service. Seems like it would be a great place to actually eat and have drinks on purpose!!

Was able to be seen on a Saturday evening without a wait. Seats were very comfy and roomy. The food was very good. I got the pastrami fried rice and a frozen drink. The rice was an interesting dish!

We went to the Continental Mid-town on Saturday for drinks & apps before the flower show and we were highly satisfied with our meal! Our server was very sweet and attentive for how busy the restaurant was. Attached are some photos of our drinks, the Korean fried chicken, the French onion soup dumplings, cheesesteak egg rolls, and the continental salad. We cannot stop talking about the Korean fried chicken! Everything was tasty & we look forward to coming back again soon.
