by Ragna R. on Even though this is a "dinner & tournament" It's not about the food, people. It's all about the experience. Honestly, as cliche as this sounds if you have seen "The Cable Guy" then you basically know all that you need to discern whether you will love or hate this place. The staff is all friendly from the bar wench to the merch guys and most speak in the pseudo-stereotypical "dialogue of the time". Yes, they serve alcohol, yes they offer tons of MT swag from t-shirts, weapons, even fridge magnets. Yes, it is sometimes crowded and loud, but fun nevertheless -- IF THIS IS THE KIND OF THING YOU ARE IN TO! I highly recommend you BOOK ONLINE and grab the King's Royalty package for the best seats and bonus items (check the website). If you are a D&D fan, LARP'er, Fantasy film/novel, Medieval history buff, or just want to experience something fun and different, give it a shot. It is a niche restaurant for sure.
by Art Krogman on Alright, alright. I've already reviewed one Stephen Starr place today, so we'll skip the rant about business tactics and degradation of food costs. Let's begin... *Makes fart noise with mouth* A disappointment is what this place was to me. For all its showiness and stylish creepiness (2 way bathroom mirrors looking into the bathrooms??), it just could measure up to other places nearby. Let's look at the positives, first. 1.) The Look Physically, it's a damn beautiful space. It's like a 50's diner that took all of its best qualities with it into a time machine bound for the 2000's. The colors all pop and exude fun. The shag carpeting on the ceiling at the bar is interesting and eye-catching. Most of all, the seating stands out. If you're lucky enough to grab one of the tables with swinging chairs, do so without hesitation. It'll help take your mind off the food later. 2.) The Service Fast and attentive without being over-bearing, the service staff really excels here. I did have problems with some plate crowding, but its my own damn fault for ordering so much food after I requested a 2-top just for a swingy chair. 3.) The Drinks Continental Midtown boasts a very creative drink list. An entire section of the menu is devoted to specialty martinis. I know it's been harkened to a lot on this site, but the Buzz Aldrin is an amazing concept for a drink. Wow, that was glaringly positive. I guess it's time for an appropriate counterbalance. Here comes my lone negative... 1.) The Food Now, it is entirely possible that I picked each of the worst items on the menu, but even so, they should still be decent to even be on the menu. To start, I had the humus with pita. With such a simple dish, I've become accustomed to chefs trying to play with the humus a little. Truffles, garlic, and red pepper come to mind. But Continental Midtown offers a plain garbanzo bean humus, something I could purchase in a supermarket for a lot less than this restaurant's pricing. Next, I went with the crispy calamari salad, having had great experiences with fried calamari in my time. What I got was unpleasant. The menu didn't lie, it was served over arugula with sesame oil among other embellishments. However, the smell of the sesame and the taste of the peanut oil the calamari was fried in overpowered everything else. I'm sorry, but your fryer oil should never overpower the taste of what it is frying. In the end, my dish smelled like a skunk and tasted liked peanuts. Finally, I decided to end with the menu's sole sushi plate, which I think was a spicy tuna roll (it's been a while). This was actually very good. But that in itself leads to more questions, like: Why does a non-Japanese restaurant fail in every piece of its menu except for its only sushi roll? Sheesh. Sorry about the rant, but this is my first overtly negative review, and I had a lot to complain about. Overall, Continental Midtown fails in my eyes. It is aesthetically pleasing, but the fact of the matter is that I decided to go out to eat; to have someone else prepare a meal for me knowing full well it would cost me. Tragically, the preparer of this meal did not hit the mark. At the end of the day, what is a restaurant if it can't feed people into satisfaction?
