I’ve chased mussels from coast to coast and across oceans, but these just ended the competition. Between the hazy beer and the adobo mussels—packed with a ginger and lemongrass punch—I’m convinced the chef is showing off. The fries were a masterclass in crispiness, and that bread? yum! Throw in a bartender who actually enjoys their job, and you’ve got a rare 10/10.

Fun experience! Food was superb, kudos to the Chef (checkout his bio on their website). Playing the arcade games and pinball games was a blast down memory lane. Highly recommended. Reservations are suggested. Garage parking basically next door.

Continues is a totally awesome throwback gaming experience with an upscale, yet approachable restaurant vibe. My husband and I stopped by on a Saturday night and were glad we had a reservation because this place is definitely popular. The menu is clearly inspired by a professional chef and they also offer a full bar. We enjoyed the food and cocktails. The gaming experience is so fun. The nostalgia is in full effect, to include two mock living room corners with game consoles and couches. We met the owner and he mentioned that are planning to expand the arcade games area in the future. There is also a parking garage conveniently located next door. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

An absolute stellar experience to see for yourself. Originally went to celebrate a birthday, and found ourselves in a home-y, familiar, and nostalgic atmosphere with like-minds and childhood enjoyment. Be assured, if you are at all curious to step in, check it out, it will surprise you. Shout out to Alex for incredible service and knowledge of the facilities and their owners. I dont know when I will find myself back, but I had a great time. To the kitchen, management, and staff, thank you so much. We loved it!

Fun place, friendly staff and super delicious food. I’m vegan and did not have high expectations for the food… usually at bars, I have to stick to french fries and beer. But they had this very delicious all vegan sandwich called the playdate. I completely cleared my plate and all of the tater tots. So good. My husband had a non-vegan sandwich and he also liked it. Something with gochujang. They also offered a birthday treat since it was his birthday… very sweet. They have a great selection of games - definitely coming back!
