Continental midtown is bigger than it's old city sister. All of the food is wonderful, if a bit pricey. Good place for a big group, tho not at night!

The first time I went to the roof of the Continental, I loved the energy, the coziness around the fireplace and the drink options. However, how tacky is it to get your $10 G&T in a plastic cup? Or your $9...

Food is a bit above average. Noise level so high that everyone seems to be yelling. Not a place for good conversation.

The Chestnut Street branch of the Old City standby offers the same fare and cocktails as the original and a slightly more posh crowd. But it could be so much more... The outdoors bar is nice, however.

A great restaurant for any occasion. The food is great - usually amazing - and the drinks fabulous. The rooftop lounge is one of the best bars, if not the best, in Philadelphia. Of note, however, my friend's...

Have you ever walked in to a restaurant where everyone is smiling and glad to see you? That's how I feel in this fun multi-level rest. Take advantage of the roof top after work during the week--it gets...

I went for drinks, not for dinner. Very modern decor. I love the two way mirrors when you wait in line for the bathroom - you can see people and if they wash their hands!! I reccomend the "Champagne-A-Rama"...

Not sure why this place gets the business it does . . . food is OK at best and on the shrimp cesar salad I had there were 3 (only 3) shrimp. Disappointing. There are many better places to go in Philly.
