The Continental Mid-town offers a pleasant ambiance with 1960s diner vibes and shareable dishes. The food is very good, with highlights including the brussel sprouts, Korean fried chicken, and lobster mac n cheese, which is made with risotto and described as unique. Guests recommend ordering several plates to share, as the portions are substantial. Service can sometimes be a bit slow, and the food may come out when it’s ready, which can make dining with others slightly awkward. However, the staff is friendly and attentive to dietary needs, providing a generally positive experience. The restaurant's decorations are charming, and the rooftop bar offers a good vibe, with drink options like the El Chapo Fizz and Smellin' Melons being popular choices. Seating includes cozy booths and swing chairs, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Reservations are recommended, especially on busy nights. Overall, it remains a neighborhood favorite for a reliable and enjoyable dinner experience.
