We just rediscovered this old standby, and we're glad we did. The food is still eclectic and very good, but the attitude seems to have mellowed. The new manager and staff seem friendlier and more eager to please, and the chef will not only accommodate special requests but even created a special no-grain vegetarian plate for one guest.

Young and rowdy crowd. Good drinks. Food is so-so.

I was disappointed as many people had told me what a great restaurant this was. Service was slow - we were ignored as others who sat down after us were waited on. Drink was good - but not worth almost $10. Food was average - and I was not impressed with the hair in my edamame. Maybe an off night but there are too many other places in the area that I would rather go to.

Food was good. Great grilled pita and hummus. Perfect brunch spot in cool area.

I have tried all 3 Continentals and am a fan of Starrs, but this is by far the worst of the bunch. We got seated in the way back, towards the glass door on the side where the servers seemed to either be just passing through on their way to gab in the hallway or completely forget that you are the customer. The food was really good and I love the decor, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. The desert in the mini cups were great.
