by Sari Judice on I like Continental because it is consistently decent. The food is good (I like the calamari salad), and the portions are bigger than the typical tapas/small plates restaurant. In terms of service, my only grip is that sometimes the servers are a little snooty. But every time I get seated, the service is satisfactory. The bartenders upstairs are generally pretty easy to chat with. The rooftop lounge (3rd f) is a nice outdoor place to hang out when the weather is warm. The Continental isn't my favorite place, but it is a reliable place for moderately upscale American food.
by Kristin F. on I thought I was living in San Francisco! However when I went to Slide last night I was warped into the downtown San Jose club scene. It was soooooo bridge and tunnel. What do you expect since it's next door to Ruby Skye. There was nothing Speakeasy about it, you don't have to be 007 to get in. The only positive thing was the spiraling slide, watch out for the second turn- you gain some momentum. Leave your holey socks at home. If your shoes have any sort of heal on them they ask you to take them off, in order to SLIDE. ps. don't be alarmed at the large man waiting for you at the bottom of the SLIDE, he is there to catch you!
