Very nice atmosphere and staff. The food was great..except for the "shoestring fries". This dish is good in theory, but the way it's prepared is a turn off. When it came out I was like," Hmmm

Tucker Dixon

Great place to go with a date or friends. Plenty of options that the whole table can shore. Atmosphere is super fun and the swinging chairs add to the charm. Go for a date night or just going with family or friends. They will not disappoint.

Vida Shakir

Great Ambiance & Great Food!

Rubin Rios

Primo environment from the food to the music. Certainly a place worth visiting once.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! It is the first restaurant I take out of town friends to when they come visit. Nothing beats the swing chairs, shoestring fries and cheesesteak eggrolls. The burger is also one of the most delicious one I had in town. The meat is so fresh, tasty, lean and juicy that you just cannot get enough of it!!!! The bun is also delicious, soft and tasty! My only problem is that the fries are not available on weekends during brunch and this is enough of a reason for me to skip brunch there from now on. I just don't understand why they can't be available! The rooftop is one of my favorites in the city. Service is a hit or miss, but most of the time it is ok.

Louise Wilson

Lovely environment. Service great. Food tasty.

Susan ODonnell

This place is amazing. The decor sets the mood for a relaxing evening. The food is delicious. Please order many plates to experience an avenue of tastes!

Debra Rowell

Love the drinks and food. Definitely go to the rooftop bar for a better experience

Nia Bright

This place was actually amazing. Service was amazing as well! We came during happy hour before the rush started, the drinks were done well & so was the food.

Robin Gerlofs

Trendy, Hollywood throw back with Twizzler Martinis with red licorice and The Astronaut with a Tang dipped rim on the outdoor patio. Great prices on happy hour food and fun decor. Staff is professional

Fay Johnston

Love their roof top lounge and fireplace all year round!! ❄️

Elisa Ferrante

Absolutely love this place. Sunday brunch was perfect, not too crowded and still the spunky feel of continental at night. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is outstanding and the cocktails are ridiculously good. I don't think you can visit continental and be disappointed. Love love love this place.

Noah Fulkroad

Cheese steak eggrolls and that Twizzle drink.....A1

Armen Gabrielyants

Excellent service at this place. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Good food and drinks.

Jenna Barry

loved this place’s atmosphere!! they combine an old school diner feel with modern chic. I came here for lunch and had the roast beef sandwich. I devoured every last bite. service was a little slow even though the place was pretty empty but, none the last, it was a great experience. I will definitely be coming back!

Ricki White

really tastey but a little expensive for small portions

Zachary Brumbaugh

Drinks were good, service was too slow to stay

Steven Solomon

Great food and nice atmosphere

Alondra Rosales

Great place with interesting decor. The food is consistent and they offer a great dessert menu. I recomment making a reservation as waiting can be long during peak hours.

Ashley Martin

Have only ever been here for lunch, but have always had a delicious, fresh meal and great service. Would recommend a reservation for lunch time during the week as it can get very busy. Lovely rooftop bar/seating during the warmer months. Prices are very reasonable and as it's relatively laid-back, would consider it child-friendly.

Chris Gaughan

Great time, big servings and good drinks!

Teena Murray

I made a reservation for 2 on 8/10/19 for 6:30pm and me and my date arrived. We checked in at the front desk and A waiter came up to the desk to take us to our seats. We walked up stairs to be seated at the swinging chairs and as I began to sit down , a big roach was crawling on the table towards me and I immediately caught myself from sitting completely down. At that point we immediately went back down stairs and left.

Christine Seel

Great cocktails and food. Upbeat atmosphere. One-way glass is the bathroom mirror, so people might be watching you put on your lipstick!

Jen Brez

Great time, our server was awesome and the views were beautiful! Mixed drinks were a little weak, but good time!

Fiz Gig

Very cute setting - upstairs there are hanging chairs at the 2 person tables. Since there were 4 of us, we had a booth. Delicious asparagus omlette served with a tasty side of seasoned cubed potatoes and whole grain toast. A bit spendy, but it is CC Philly after all. Good service as well.

Erik K

This place is amazing. Love it. Awesome funky retro decor. Amazing menu with a ton of world fusion things going on. Great drinks. Not mind-bogglingly pricey. Definitely recommend.

Eustace Evan Jian Jun Goh

Food was great with great service. The swing chairs however crash against the table from time to time if you are not careful

Cinnamon Willis

Weird menu, the staff was understanding and accommodating. Great ambiance though!

Jessmarie Ramos

Slooooooooooow service, sticky tables, and loooooooooooooooooong wait times to get seated in the first place.

Amal F

Nice looking building inside/out and employees are ready to help. The rooms look nice and ready at first but I was grossed out to find makeup all over the phone, curly hairs on the desk and food spread on the armchair. I stayed just one night for a wedding within walking distance and had a good rate so I let it go.

jessica wheeler

Great atmosphere, food was awesome. Overall worth it.

Torin McFarland

Came for their highly recommended SIPS menu, and was not disappointed! They had an awesome spread of food and drinks, as well as a modern, pseudo-futuristic interior. The hummus and pita were the highlight of the evening (apart from the good company)

Tinky Weed

Their drinks over priced, $10 for a well whisky and ginger ale. Food menu is meant to be shared so the high price is worth it here. Fun atmosphere and friendly service. The bathrooms are ghetto af. I'm a tourist though, and it seems public restrooms in ill repair are common here in Philly.

Theodore Hill

Nice place and beautiful atmosphere all around. However, the service on the deck was the absolute worst. Me and a friend came here tonight just to hang out and grab a few drinks. We went directly to the bar on the deck, there were 10 people at the bar, me and my friend totaled 12. We sat their for 20 min, no one spoke, gave us menus, or even acknowledged our presence. I had to tell one of the bartenders that we had been waiting there for 20minutes, he says ok what would you like, then randomly storms out and doesn’t come back. As me and my friend were leaving we told the other bar tender and he sarcastically kept saying “that’s terribe, that’s terrible”. This experience was truly unfortunate because I loved going here but will definitely not be back.

Chloey Major

The food was great, and so was the bartender. But we seemed to have inconvenienced our waiter somehow? Will definitely come back, but maybe request bar seating instead

Amy Carlson

Great food, cool vibe, loud, swinging chairs upstairs, round tables, interesting decor, good service, food comes out randomly but when it does it is very tasty. Great dessert!

Heather Robertson

Planned a work event for a private space, 45 people on a Wednesday during sips and could not have been happier. They even would have let us extend our time if we wanted. Thanks!

mochalolalisa

Those damn skinny fries are so stupid delicious. They keep me coming back. I really like the informal outdoor space upstairs, it's cool with a dope vibe.

William Coffin

Great spot in Philly for a date for outing with friends. The cocktail bar on the roof is even a great spot for colleagues for happy hour after a long day. I’ve visited here several times before reviewing and have never been let down by the food or cocktails. Strongly recommend reservations.

Creatch68

Such a fun time at the Rooftop Lounge. Great place for cocktails. It's a little loud but not overwhelming.

Diane Kobus

Everything was delicious! Ordered calamari salad, chicken tikka masala and the short ribs

Jamie

Loved the eclectic decor and the swing chairs upstairs. I enjoyed all of the food we ordered, especially the French onion soup dumplings, Korean pork tacos and the salmon sashimi poké bowl - SO good! We also got the dessert flight (see my picture) and the banana walnut bread pudding with walnut ice cream was top-notch! Only negative thing I can say is that things are a bit overpriced. I'd still return though!

Opeola Bukola

This is your date night spot. It's a swanky place, with a nice bar, and bartenders who will banter with you and keep you company if you're there alone. awhile before your date shows. The atmosphere is dim enough that you won't feel like a spotlight on you, and interesting enough with the multicolored globe-adorned light fixtures that you will always have something to look at or comment on. I definitely recommend venturing upstairs, where the seating and the colorful lighting pallet really make a scene. When it comes to the food, the Continental's menu is made of classic New England favorites with interesting twists or flavor renditions, as well as some ubiquitous ethnic fare with the same sorts of remixes. On my visit, I enjoyed a lump crab pad Thai. The rice noodles were a bit chewier then I generally go for, and the Thai flavors I was looking for such as basil and citrus didn't quite catch me. The lump crab addition, however, gave the dish something interesting I've never tried before. With most meals and entrees coming in under $20, a solid drink menu, a hip modern atmosphere that definitely says "I'm into art," and the location in Center City, the date night potential is high.

Kenny Duthie

Had a fabulous experience. I came here 5 years ago and then went here again with my family on New Years Eve. I was extremely satisfied with everything that we had. We ordered 5 different dishes and everything was done wonderfully.

Neat Powell

I ordered the crunchy calamari salad. It was big enough for me and my date to share.

Y D

A little pricey- but the food and drinks are great!! They have roof top seating and glass enclosed lounge area.

Christopher Grindstaff

When i got here, i thought this place was going to be expensive. However, its reasonable and much of the food was really imaginative. I had a curry sandwich with nan bread.

Srijamya Raghuvanshi

Delicious food and fun-chic decor. They have hanging chairs on the top floor, and an entire area with animal shaped cushion chairs. The food was delicious - tried the lobster Mac and cheese, French toast and sausages and loved it all! The French toast is a little too sweet for my taste and likely belongs on the dessert menu, but incredibly delicious nonetheless :)

Katie V

Cute rooftop seating area with a full bar and a nice view. Menu selection could be larger but the food was pretty tasty. Staff were friendly. I ordered the Korean pork tacos and they were delicious. Full of flavor.

Joel Babbitt

Good prices, especially for downtown. Great food, though you might have to Google the ingredients. Bird cage chairs, music that's loud but not too loud to talk over, pastel colored walls, porthole windows... Good ambiance.

Kulkarni Law

Great dor a business lunch. Portions were a bit small

Julianne Young

Bathrooms are pretty cool! The breakfast quesadillas were great!!!

Mariah Demirkan

The staff here is the best part about it. They’re great and professional

creative mix

The atmosphere was great. We sat upstairs on the swinging chairs. The food was excellent. I had a huge salad with roasted carrots. It was crispy and hearty I really enjoyed it. I will be back.

Dale Plotzki

Although I did not get any photos, I wanted to comment on just how good our private event was at the continental roof top. Service could not have been friendlier. The hor d'oeuvrs could not have been tastier and the overall location just can't be beat. Stellar!

Patricia Brooks

The food was not that great either was the service. They also have cloth seats which tend to hold odors. It would make a better night club than a restaurant in the way that it is set up and get rid of the cloth seats

Anthony Dorazio

Love the food and the decor. The location was just a bonus.

Zen Traveler

The modern mid-century look and feel is great, along with the excellent menu selections. The food was tasty and presented well, and the service was attentive. My only issue was the acoustics, on the second floor, sometimes overwhelming the conversation from the main dining area. As it has for decades, The Continental continues to be a Philadelphia standard.

gabby catherine

they have two way mirrors so men can SEE WHAT THE WOMEN ARE DOING IN THE BATHROOMS. disgusting. absolutely disgusting.

Zoe Wolfe

Very good food, especially surprising for the ethnic dishes served here. The building itself is very aesthetic, and the 2 person tables with the bench seata on the top floor are very fun to sit in. My only qualm with this place is that I can't order dinner until 5, and have had to wait 15 minutes until the midday menu ended before.

William Elton

Very cool atmosphere for this gem in Center City. We went at lunch time and the service was quite show. 40-45 minute wait time to from order to table is quite inconvenient for a work lunch break but the food was worth it. I'll definitely go back, just maybe a bit earlier next time.

Jeremy Henderson

Great atmosphere. Their food selections are good, prices are reasonable.

jadmo99

Ambiance is nice. I bet happy hour is decent but the food was unimpressive.

Justin Jenkins

Great food with great atmosphere! Well worth the trip

Amy Barnett

Great food and drinks, funky atmosphere and decor - lots of fun!!

Sencer Tire

Great atmosphere and excellent food! It is recommended to "share" and we did as we had the black quinoa salad and bulgogi bowl for the two of us, and as dessert deep dish cookie, and they were all amazing! Especially the bulgogi bowl is something to try, highly recommended!

Janice Smith

Great food and atmosphere.

Kristin Grant

A reasonably priced restaurant for downtown. Varied menu, beautiful roof top deck, fun vibe, good food.

Nina Devine

My son is the head bartender..#proudmom the food & service are great anytime of day

Deborah R.

The best combination of food meant to be shared. We ate Indian, Japanese, Mexican, French, and more. All of it was delicious! The French onion soup wonton were AMAZING!

Nora Koon

Unique interior design, interesting and delicious specialty cocktails and oval-shaped swinging basket chairs enhances evening conversations. Terrific dishes that can be shared between a couple of people and excellent service! I would recommend this place to couples and families alike!!

Gregory Sugalski

Great visit to the Continental. Been before many times but not to this particular location, just the restaurant in AC. Couple of different menu items and I would highly suggest the Korean fried chicken wings. Best dish we had, although the Rad Na was a close second.

Jonathan Murphy

Loved the lobster mac and cheese. Great place. Try and get a swing chair if you can. Also be prepared for a surprise if you visit the bathroom. Two way mirror? Beaded curtains? Weird stuff.

Chad Williams

Don't skip just because of the wacky decor. These guys make a great burger and interesting/varied salads.

Kaylend G. Manley

The mood or setting is super chill and sleek! It's a great place for late night hanging. The food is good and the customer service is great!

Ashley McColgan

Food and drinks are always amazing. The atmosphere is great. Cocktails are a little pricey but is expected

Maria McDermott

Just went there for drinks. The bartender downstairs was phenomenal! So friendly and nice. We went upstairs to the rooftop and what a disappointing experience. The waitress was border line rude and inattentive. She acted like we were an inconvenience. The decor was dated. Always loved this place, been going for years! Step up your game and get happy and timely service for the rooftop. We 50 year olds tip generous, and appreciate good service. Very disappointed

James Cadell

We had been out running errands and stopped in for lunch. The decor is definitely retro, but cool. We sat upstairs near the bar, overlooking the restaurant. They were still serving from their brunch menu. So, we ordered a Chicken Salad Naan Sandwich and a Bacon Cheeseburger. The service was slow, but once the food arrived it was good.

Andy Pruss

Novelty food in an aging setting. I can’t stand this place but was being hosted by a client. The food is yesteryear cool trying to hard to be relevant. Staff is well trained.

alexander joseph

Sweet multi-level retro modern type diner. Recommend the swinging chairs for dinner dates ;) Also not bad for group outings. Isn’t as pricey as you’d think, even for drinks (2 full bars). Perfect choice for the indecisive crowd !

Pooja Desai Patel

Amazing space and pretty good menu. But the execution for lunch was off, even though they weren't very crowded. The water had floaties in it, they forgot to bring our appetizer, and they brought out the wrong hot sauce. Also, our table was not fully clean and had some tiny not fully clean spots. The Old City location is better than this one!

Jeanette Parker

Nice atmosphere with friendly wait staff. French Onion soup dumplings were no joke, they were hot bite sized cheesy dumplings with all the flavors and top layer textures of French Onion soup. Greek Turkey Burger came with bibb lettuce, red onion and tzatziki sauce. I had my choice of sides and chose the salad which did not disappoint. Lightly dressed but flavorful without the dreaded soggy bottom of the bowl. Lunch was not too busy and was seated promptly.

Matthew Rieger

Wow this place has all the bells and whistles. Cool chairs, fun foods, good cocktail and multiple window... I recommend the onion soup dumpling (french), they were a delicious treat but very hot plate so be careful. Great for a date night in Mid-Town Phila

Candis Robinson

Great happy hour and I loved the food and Twizzles. Bartender was awesome. Highly recommended the chicken satay.

Eric Schiesser

This is a weird place, which is exactly what I was looking for. The dishes vary wildly in terms of country if origin, which I loved. Quite a variety. Bulgogi bowl was awesome. Brussels sprouts were terrific. Carrots were delightful. Calamari salad was good. I would not recommend the shoestring fries. They serve you an absolute monstrosity: an 8 inch high pile of very oily fries. It was gross, to be completely honest. I'm not knocking a star though because I'm sure some people are into that sort of thing, and the mustard they're serve with was quite nice. The decor is eclectic but not unappealing. Our service was excellent. Our waitress (Katie? Kate?) was fantastic.

Lilian Omondi

Good ambience., good food,. A little noisy so unsuitable for conversations

Michelle McGlone

This is my favorite restaurant! I can not say enough good things about the food, drinks and staff here. The atmosphere is perfect for a dinner for 2 or 10. I've brought so many friends here for their first time and they always love it.

Jeet Ahuja

The food was excellent.They had an awesome spread of food and drinks, as well as a modern, futuristic interior.

Audrey Troutt

The cheese steak egg rolls are worth getting--its big and a delicious and novel take on this Philly favorite. There are swing chairs for two-person tables on the second floor. Otherwise you'll most likely be in a comfy booth. Service was great and lunch was fast enough for lunch break. I recommend this place anytime you are hungry for nostalgic comfort food.

Jordan Singer

Great food options, cool laid back environment.

Jacqueline Jewell

Great food, amazing cocktails and we had an amazing bartender who helped us find some great spots to visit in the area. Highly recommend!

Lauren Brandt

Get the Korean wings! You will fall out of your chair! And the Peruvian steak with new taters is off the hook! great service too!

Kartik Reddy

4/5 love this place for its ambience. As the name suggests, they’ve got dishes from several different cuisines. The shoestring fries are a must try. Jerk chicken and butter chicken are prepared well but not entirely authentic. Thai chicken skewers were cooked well and the peanut sauce wasn’t overly sweet. The crab cakes were dry and stringy. The Korean barbecue tacos were too sweet and lacked that smoky Korean barbecue flavour. The French onion soup dumplings were misleading. They weren’t soup dumplings, instead just had a concentrated French onion filling. Gruyere cheese with the dumplings was a good choice in balancing out the sweetness.

Blair Wright

AWESOME little diner(ish)/restaurant, creative food that is presented well and tastes GREAT. The atmosphere is thick with conversation but not overly loud and they play cool music in the background. I also loved the sunken living room in the main dining room. The food is pretty large portions and shareable, it's all great and I can't say enough about this place, it's a 10 for a casual dining experience in Philly

Lamarr Daniels

Nice ambiance friendly staff nice size portions. The Turkey club has apple mayo and 3 layers, the fries are crispy they were both absolutely delicious! Seating in swings makes this spot fun and entertaining especially with the rooftop restaurant/bar.

Natalia G

It was a cool place with good food. Not a lot of options for dietary restrictions, though.

Laurice Heard

Great food. Good service. Good alchohol. Nice lighting. Modern. Fairly priced. Large portions. Good vibe.

Subhan Farooqi

Good fare at a mid range price. Reservations recommended but walk-ins will be seated after some wait.

Keith MacKay

Quirky and fun. Funny drink menu, great apps (get the onion soup dumplings! So good! )

shaya pita

We made a work event here and it was very confusing to set up a reservation they made us go through a 3rd party that wanted to charge us separately for a Room when we only had 12 people they said that that is the cut off number and they made it difficult for us to make a reservation in the end we had to tell some people they couldn't come just because we didn't want to pay the extra money for the Room. But over all once we got there we had a very nice experience and the food was really delicious and everyone had a great time but if they can just make the reservation process a bit easier I would give it the final star

Sharon Flick

It's my absolute FAVORITE Center City restaurant! Everything is delicious from the cocktails to the homemade ice cream (request the salted caramel pretzel before you go) in a trendy setting. Don't forget to hit the bathroom before you leave. #trustme

Jennifer Kenenitz

The pancakes are the best I have ever had!

Nicole Valatka

Very interesting place. The upstairs chairs are a really unique aspect. I like that is considered a "family style" and you are encouraged to share your dishes with your party. I went on a really busy night and the they got us in fairly quickly. One of our dishes was an Indian dish, it had a nice flavor, but I think they toned it down to be more enjoyable for a wider crowd. I think they should have kept it as close to classic as possible.

Jeff Platt

The food is good. I had a turkey burger and the soup. I never order a turkey burger. The waitress said it was good so I tried it. She was right! I had tea. She brought hot water to me 4 times. Very attentive. We spent over 2 hours there. Very comfortable.

Kay McFarland

Center city Sips stop. The cheesesteak egg rolls were delicious. Almost as good as the quesadilla.

Lauryn Neary

My friends and I have dined at the Continental before and it has a wonderful ambiance and is a great place for a night out with friends or family. My only wish is that they were more accommodating with their menu with friendlier wait staff. The only options for vegetarians is either a small appetizer or salad. With only one vegetarian main there isn't a huge selection for an actual meal. I am very used to dining out and not having much of a selection, but I've been to steak houses where the staff has been more than willing to accommodate an option for me to eat. When dining recently at the Continental, I asked the waitress if there was an anything on the menu I could have to eat since I could not have the only vegetarian main due to an allergy, and I was left with very little options. I was left with a kids meal for my dinner, which was fine, and I was able to enjoy my time there with my friends despite multiple factors. I wish we had a friendlier waitress as it was my friend's birthday so the night felt not as special as it should of felt because of this. In a time where there are so many people with allergies, restrictive diets, and other dietary concerns, you would expect an establishment like the Continental to at least try to accommodate these things or at least have a wait staff that's understanding of these things and not have to feel uncomfortable during your experience.

Matt S

Fun upscale diner vibe. Large portions but not sloppy. Family friendly.

Ms Cotto

The service was great. I ordered the Lobster mac and cheese with the drink endless summer. The food was amazing and the drink even better. Will definitely return.

Matei Ionita

Modern vibe, good happy hour, a bit expensive outside happy hour

Jasmine Brown

This place is Amazing!!! The decor was so cool and the food is great! The dessert was my favorite part. Get the 3 dessert flight, you wont be disappointed! Also the veal meatballs omg. So good. I loved this place.

Shubhankar Mohan

Service was great! Tacos were good, chicken skewers were okay. Shoe strings were very interesting, have had anything like them yet.

Anthony Hiltz

Food was decent. Honestly the place we sat was kind of smelly. There was food on the floor under our table. Could have been a nicer atmosphere

Jeff Bemis

Great decor with a menu to match. Fresh food, tasty drinks and super friendly staff.

Lynda Simpson

Fantastic food and well appointed decor

Calvin Rhys

One of my favourite places in town. Go for the wild decor, stay for the innovative food. Be sure to try something from the drinks menu and sample a fun dessert. Also fun top floor lounge.

Leanne M

Excellent service and atmosphere here! I came for lunch with coworkers and we had a fantastic time. The environment is very chic and trendy. They have a great deal of food options and a good amount of vegetarian options. I had the veggie (Boca) burger. It tasted good but was quite dry.

Geo B

Food was over seasoned. Way too salty.

Rodolfo Diaz

Good spot for a quick bite to eat and drink

Amy Kevin

Was there for private conference event. The staff were very accommodating to my allergy needs. Nice interesting rooftop decor and atmosphere. A bit of a throwback decor/armosphere.

Valerie DeMitis

This place is fun, especially if you're bringing someone who is out of town. Good food, good drink options, and an interesting atmosphere that includes roof top eating, swings, and bizarre bear chairs. Try the onion soup dumplings!

Karen Adams

The rooftop is a great way to be outside although there are no views to speak of. Happy Hour prices are great. We shared the chicken quesadilla. It was pretty good but rather soggy.

Ryan Leonard

They have a fairly unique atmosphere here. Swinging chairs on the second floor as well as a rooftop deck. We had a group of about 6 or 7 on a Friday night and there was plenty of room for us and decently quick service. Just be aware the kitchen closes early and the establishment closes at midnight. Visiting from NY that was a bit of a shock.

Leila Conyard

Got the chicken noodle dish .. what a huge serving of deliciousness! 1 bowl can definitely serve 2 people. Their spicy mustard for the fries is amazing.. must try! The salmon Poke dish was great too.

W Gaffney

The restaurant is clean. The staff bright and professional. The seating is comfortable. Plenty of room. The appointments are clever. Now for the food. My meal was the "Big Bang " breakfast. It was excellent. The quality of the components was great. Not heavy or greasy. Our party fully enjoyed their meals. Home run.

Andrew Shulman

The food is always really good. Good portions, delicious, and not super expensive for two people. The servers are great and very friendly. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the bathrooms have two-way mirrors and it’s EXTREMELY creepy. They look into the bathroom from the landing and you can see people washing their hands and coming out of the stalls. I took a picture of my girlfriend adjusting her shirt so that I could show her that you could see her on the other side, and she had no idea that you could see in.

Narissa Rohrbach

Nice lively atmosphere. The service was prompt and excellent despite it being a very busy time. Had some excellent drinks and would definitely return especially for SIPS.

Josh Dwell

Amazing food, and great staff! The upstairs lounge is fantastic

Tanisha Clarke

Great service. Beautiful ambience. Good food.

Kev Nix

Spot was dope. Do it if you're trying to have a fun time at dinner. The food is also great.

MookNinja

Food was good but way too expensive and not nearly enough food for it

Ramesh Gurjar

Something different from other hotels. Lovely n beautiful ambiance inside with attractive lights n seating arrangements Neatly maintained courteous staff

Ken M

The menu seems very different with a Mexican vibe. I think with the atmosphere it should be more of an American style menu. But still good.

Roberto Medina

This place design is really cool. They have a reserved section for big groups and the chairs are this little horses. They also have hanging chairs. The restrooms have a see through mirror and it's quite a laughing place to be. The food it's really tasty and very unique as well. I tried the pizza and the cheesesteak roll, both of them very yummy. I will recommend this place to anyone.

JudyG Vea

My entree was delicious. Beautiful roof deck. But the service was lacking. They seemed under staffed.

dre dre

Just eh. Chill vibes. Bartenders were sweet and funny. They deserve 5 stars.

nicole lamoreaux

Awesome food and drinks! Get the French Onion Soup Dumplings. You won't be disappointed!

Llaran Turner

Delicious! I recommend sitting on the second floor swings! Great portions for the price. This place is perfect for brunch or lunch. The first picture is the veggie burger (the best) and the second is the lobster Mac & cheese

Israël Painchaud

Great food, but a little expensive for what you get. 1970-1980 style decoration well done, but not for everyone.

John Garvey

Great find near Rittenhouse! Service was a little slow, food was excellent! Great room, too!

Nathan Hunt

Talk about an amazing taste and atmosphere. You must taste it if you are a visitor to Philadelphia. Their drinks are amazing and the atmosphere is unique. It is one of Philly places to be at. Enjoy...

Butturfly8

Walked up on this and decided to try it. The food was great, the atmosphere was retro and really cool. Swings are hard to eat in, but so much fun.

Matthew Ross

Small bar and lounge with an open roof. It was really cool to hang out and look up at the buildings. Was there for a private event and got served a new drink they were playing with.

Dan Romeyn

Food and service was awesome. Was my wife's and mine first time.

Noam l

We set for brunch with a couple of friends and our kids. The cocktails were great but about the dishes we had differences of opinions. The upper floor is very fun if it's sunny out.

Wayne Crowley

Great tapas. Fun atmosphere and cool people watching. Loved the food and would definitely recommend.

Roshan Hegde

Nice place. Bit pricey.

not dub

Interesting decor that is fun to check out, food is good, but to my taste it sounds better in the menu than it tastes on the plate. But fun for a change of pace.

Cindy Lewis

Good place to stop by and get good food, enjoy some drinks with friends and catch a show right there in town.

Miya Smith

Atmosphere super chic.. food served family style.. always enjoyable

Gregory Ryan

Great food, great drinks, great service!!

Tony Thornton

The food was good, menu had a decent variety, decor is modern but that damp, water damaged odor ruins an otherwise good experience. My friends say that it has smelled like that for a couple of years now.

Alicia Wilson

One of my favorite spots in town! The lobster mac n cheese is amazing but I always leave happy when I go here no matter what I order. There is no shortage of restaurants in the area but be sure to stop by this one, you won't regret it!

Mary Grace Estacio

Cool ambience. Good food.

Jeffrey Liss

A classic in Center City Philadelphia, known for its chairs that hang from the ceiling (only available for the tables of two!) and its kitschy 1970's feel. The menu is quite eclectic and the food was wonderful. This place is a classic and worth visiting.

Roger Cloud

Rosy is the best server, the steak and drinks were excellant. My friends favorite was the porthole windows on the second floor.... Five Star *****

Edward Zhelnovakov

The food was pretty average and decent. The lobster mac and cheese was good. Not the biggest fan of the fries. We ordered crab cakes and they never came we didnt get charged for them but we were waiting for them to come out and just decided to get the check.

Isaiah Moore

Very nice ambiance with a diverse menu

Korey Onulack

Great atmosphere with a unique vibe! Good food, may be a little overpriced.
