I find it very hard to review places like this. I know in this day and age, everyone is looking for quality like food, none of that out of the box type restaurant chain business. But at the same time, we're also looking for things that don't hurt our pockets. Continental is just one of those places. The type where, "the food is good but...", "the decor is cool but..." overall, nothing just stands out. On a food platform: It's ok. I had the BIG BANG platter. It consisted of fluffy pancakes, slightly under seasoned home fries (in little dices like the home fries you get in hotel continental breakfasts), buttery eggs, some tasty sausage and bacon. Tasty, yes. Original, no. I guess the only impressive thing they having going for them is the trendy seats and decor. The pretty light fixtures and the swinging basket chairs, it's all very cool looking but i honestly think it's just there just to compensate for there ok food and experience. And the lighting is just okay. Sigh...

Went to Rosa's for early dinner. The restaurant was medium busy. We had pork taco and chicken enchilada. They are famous for their Guac as an appetizer. They miss no opportunity to push it on you. It is pretty good but at $12 you can do better! Both dishes came with rice and beans. The pork also had a chili sauce which was pretty poor. The enchilada was OK but it was not as spicy as they had promised. We had margarita and a Pinot Noir for drinks. The Margarita was OK but the Pinot was really not much of a wine. For deserts we had cheese cake and ice cream. The ice cream is in reality gelato so be prepared. It is not your typical American ice cream. It was not as flavorful as you would expect. The cheese cake came with an apple compote. It was rich but has a slight flavor of refrigerator. Guess they are not selling deserts everyday:-( The coffee was luke warm but OK. The service was attentive and overall taking good care of us. In summary: mediocre food, mixed drinks, avoid desserts and praise the service.
