The Continental Mid-town
From the ever-inventive mind of Philly, impresario Stephen Starr comes the Continental Mid-town, a playful reprieve from the expected. Following the decade-long and still growing success of the original Continental Restaurant and Martini Bar in Olde City, Starr has now ignited and excited Rittenhouse Square with the Continental Mid-town. The incredible three-tiered space is a mixture of textures and hues, with a dramatic two-story atrium and whimsical lounge. The rooftop lounge is not to be missed, with indoor and outdoor spaces and an oversized circular bar; enjoy a cocktail before dinner or make it your evening event. The Global Tapas menu has something for every appetite and all of the mouthwatering dishes are designed to be shared. Be sure to leave room for dessert, featuring cotton candy and a Caramellow cupcake. Whether enjoying brunch, a mid-afternoon lunch, or a fabulous dinner, the Continental’s signature cocktails—such as the Champagne-A-Rama, Buzz Aldrin or Dean Martini—will add a touch of Hollywood glitz to your dining experience.
