The Continental

Stephen Starr strikes again! The Continental, in the Pier at Caesars, is the third Continental to open after the two locations in Philadelphia, and the menu of upscale comfort food in a retro 50s atmosphere is unlike anything we've really ever had in AC.

Not to be missed are the Kobe sliders; their reputation preceded them into town. Hint: get a seat next to the sunken fire pit during dinner; it's awesome for people watching. The consensus is that the patio-style tables that surround the fire pit are too small for sharing multiple plates, but the Continental is like a puggle: it's so cute that it's really hard to stay upset.

The Continental is ideal for cocktails and conversation - it's probably the most "Sex in the City"-type locale in AC. It's chic and very sexy. You can sample a variety of original drinks, our favorite of which is the Buzz Aldrin - a potent potable that features Tang. Even if you don't come to the Continental for dinner, definitely make it a stop on the cocktail trail.
