Three full stories of fun await you at the Continental Mid-town. Whether you’re relaxing in the lounge, swinging in a basket chair on the jet-set mezzanine or taking in the night along the airy rooftop patio, it’s a total reprieve from the expected. The mouth-watering menu features bold and eclectic flavors, from signature jumbo lump crab pad thai and Szechuan shoestring fries to playful spins like cheesesteak eggrolls and French onion soup dumplings. Expertly mixed pop and retro cocktails ensure there’s something for everyone to sip on, no matter the occasion.

    One of Philly's central hotspots for creative cuisine and vibrant dining. Steven Starr rarely misses, and what I love most about The Continental is how you can offer seemingly simple food like a burger, pizza or a quesadilla and wind up with a creative, gourmet experience that sets it apart from the competition.

    We had a reservation for 11:15 for brunch and were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant has a cool vibe and was very busy. Our server greeted us right away and took our drink orders. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. We will definitely be back.

    Excellent environment, food had great variety and all the dishes prepared expertly. Bar selection had some interesting cocktails and plenty of choices for all palates, wine, beer and liquor. Plenty of comfortable seating. If you are looking for a fun time with a cool mid century vibe this is for you.

    We loved the eclectic menu of global cuisine. Food was perfectly done. The wait staff was excellent. Attentive, but not intrusive. The decor has a fantastic mid century vibe. We are looking forward to our next visit.
