Continental Review

The jampacked Continental has comfy booths lit by overhead lights that resemble olives. It serves burgers, pad Thai, lobster mashed potatoes, and salads bigger than most beehives, plus endless, mostly sugary cocktails served in martini glasses (some, like the sugar-rimmed "champagne-o-rama," and the Tang-y "Astronaut," that seem custom-made for drinkers in training). It's a perfectly nice place for lunch -- and even an early dinner with the family. But this place really gets going after dark, when the volume goes up and drinks go down.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
