Reviews
"The food was Spectacular! Everything was fresh made and the atmosphere was top class. The Avocado egg rolls were to die for. Not to mention Lexy my bartender made some of the best drinks in the metro and was so pleasant! 6/5 if I could"
"The atmosphere was intriguing. The music playing was good but soon became annoying as it was skipping every other word. We were excited to try to truffle mushrooms which were obviously sliced mushrooms out of a can drenched in olive oil and garlic served with 4 pieces of baguette. Next was the meatballs which were freezer burnt and the sauce tasted like it was out of a can. We also had the feta cheese bake, it was just Ok. Again the sauce was out of the can. My smash burger tasted like a McDonalds patty that had set out all day and was dry and hard around the edges. The fries with my burger were even a disappointment. How can you mess up fries! They were barely done and the parm was just thrown on top not even melted. The avacado eggrolls....so nasty!! The after taste was like dish soap. And I've never seen a chicken sandwich with such a skinny dry piece of chicken! All I could do was laugh. I can't believe how bad it was. Nothing like the Continental I used to love."
"Was in for New Year’s Eve and it was a great time! Bar tender was super nice and friendly! Got a strawberries and whipped cream which were delicious. Also the espresso martini was delicious as well."
"This was a surprisingly bad experience. We start off with a very non amicable waiter/bartender who made drinks poorly and refused to remake them and made too many for others at the table and charged us for them even though we didn't order them and the mistake was on them. We then get to the service experience of being brought food and within 2 minutes of the last plate being placed, they bring the bills over creating the environment that we need to hurry up and get out. Food was fine but, so is a generic fast food resturant, really not much more to say. This was a lunch experience so, potentially the night life environment may feel a bit better."
"Brought friends, from out of town, here to have some apps and cocktails after doing some shopping in The East Village. Loved the atmosphere when we walked in.. found a table right away.. sat down and then watched another group walk in behind us and seat themselves.. the waitress immediately gave the other table waters and menus. We patiently waited until we watched the waitress take the other tables drink orders. I then walked up to the bar and asked for menus. I was handed a single one. The vibe was just odd. I will say that the cocktails and the food were delicious.. not sure if the waitstaff was just having an off night but made us feel very unwelcome."
