Again, went here with my parents. The hummus and pita bread was great. The meal was adequate. The drinks were weak. I wouldn’t go back. My friends swear by this place, maybe I was there on a bad night?

Cuban food. Blah. Some love it, some hate it. I would pass if I had the choice. Lots of pork and beans and nothing that is particularly appealing to me.

I have had both good and bad meals here. The fajitas are great. The margaritas are great. The guacamole is great. Everything else? You can have it. A great place to have a drink after work when the patio is hopping and the parking is available. Just watch out when the wind changes and the sewage treatment plant on the Schuykill waffs up. Yum.

Make reservations. Make them early in the evening. This former diner turns from a classy restaurant to a hopping bar after about 9:00 PM. Any later and you’ll be fighting for a table from the drinkers. The food. Great. Steven Starr’s first and what I consider his best restaurant. The wasabi mashed potatoes are simply to die for. The introduction of Continental Midtown was watered down the brand name a bit, but still good food and a good time.

May be the best Chinese food I have ever had. Pricey but worth it, the food is fresh and tasty with the final straw coming with the fortune cookies dipped in chocolate. Yum.
