    Great breakfast sandwich - a must try with the side of potatoes. Also the korean fried chicken with a side of sticky rice was delicious. Kitchen was slammed so it took an hour for the food to arrive but it was worth it

    This was exactly what we needed for a brunch before a show. We made reservations, were seated right away. The waitress was wonderful and so the food! Great ambiance in the restaurant. It was a bit loud, but it make is a little more exciting.

    Not a good experience to have, The food wasn’t very good for the price as well as the Service was awful and rude. It’s hard to say I would even go back and try again just because the service was bad. The waitress was slamming cups on the tables and ignoring and not even acknowledging us at the table. We had to ask for this multiple times until we got it, we didn’t get our lemonades until after we was about to leave and we asked for them when we first got there.

    I love the Continental Midtown. My only complaint--noise level way high and no way to indicate that in a realistic way in this survey design "energetic" :-). I could not hear my companion's voice across a small table. But the food, the decor and arrangement of the seating and the excellent servers--all terrific!

    Some of us were early, 2 never showed. The resveration was for 11:45AM the table was not ready. The Server was very good and helpful. We waited a while for the food, part of the order was missing. Drinks were brought right way. The food was hot and very good. Over all it was a nice meal.
