TIPS

Allie H.3/14/11
Packed on the weekends but it's easier to grab a seat at one of the two bars for drinks and food. Side Car (Hennessy, Cointreau, lemon juice & sugar rim) was the best drink for the money.

The Continental is equal parts elegant martini bar and stainless steel diner. Enjoy one of our many innovative cocktails in Philadelphia's Old City.

Do yourself a favor: get yourself the shoestring fries and a cocktail while deciding what you want. Because what you want is shoestring fries and a cocktail.

lobster mac & cheese. Violet Beaugards.

I don't care what anyone says...the Rad na thai chicken is the best thing on the menu.
