The Continental Restaurant Atlantic City Review!


One day as I was reading the Atlantic City FaceBook, I read a press release that The Pier Shops at Caesars was now going to be called The Playground! The whole concept of the mall was going to be changed, by putting all new stores, restaurants, live bands and nightclubs, which I will be doing a video blog about real soon!

Of course, I'm calm now, but when I first read the news I went into a panic! So I jumped in my car and took a drive from Staten Island to Atlantic City, the whole time I was praying to God, please Lord don't let them take my favorite restaurant away! Well God answers prays because when I got there, The Continental is still grooving! You may be asking yourself why was I so panic? it's just another restaurant! 

On the third floor of The Playground Mall, on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, there a restaurant which is not only my favorite place to eat but also my favorite time machine! Come with me where Martinis are shaken and not stirred, let's go to an era when leisure suits and go-go boots were the dressed code, where the jet-setters dance under funky light fixtures and dine on delicious hors d'oeuvres. 

WELCOME TO THE CONTINENTAL!


I vote The Continental the coolest restaurant in Atlantic City! Just on design alone, the restaurant brings you back to the retro era when Roger Moore was James Bond 007, and Charlie's Angels fought crime in hot pants and bikini tops, don't be frighted that's not the DRESS CODE! 

As soon as you walk in you could ask the hostess to seat you in a few different areas of the restaurant, where the mood and atmosphere are either a summer patio, ski lodge or a groovy 70's lounge!

In the mood for a few cocktails with friends? Then come sit at the ultra mod, white bar on the patio!

Why not have a groovy private party in what I call The Jetsons lounge? With Spaceport windows, funky sectional, round velvet chair ornaments and really cool lighting!

The Continental 
 The waitress and managers were very friendly and would stop periodically with a smile to see if I needed anything? Which was very comforting, because there is nothing worse than feeling all alone at a restaurant, especially when they forgot your beverage refill you ordered 20 minutes ago! Can I get an AMEN?

The Continental is truly a great dining experience for a cool groovy night out!

Harry's Oyster Bar and Seafood Restaurant Atlantic City!

In the mid, 70's my cousins, and I would hang out at our uncle's Hawaiian photoshop
on the Atlantic City, Boardwalk
 

Which was right in front of Tiki Terrace that had a live Hawaiian
luau show with tropical drinks and a full menu!

Right behind the Tiki Terrace was the Dennis hotel's pool area, where my cousins, and I would sneak a swim at least three times a week for the whole summer! So one day I decided to take a drive to Atlantic City, from Staten Island, to walk the Atlantic City, Boardwalk, better known to me as memory lane. Of course, the Dennis hotel has been shut down, the Tiki Terrace has been torn down, and the pool has been filled in many moons ago. I sat in a lawn chair on top of the area where the pool was, and I still felt a little nervous that a lifeguard would come by and ask me to show him my room key? Or I would have the leave the premises!


But it would not be the first time that someone had asked me to leave the premises,
and in much better places I might add! 

Setting there brought back so many great memories of my childhood in Atlantic City,
But as soon as I woke up from day dreaming I notice an array of colorful umbrellas, an outside bar and people eating amazing SEAFOOD! Is this all a mirage?
NOPE...

In the heart of Atlantic City, Bally's Casino and the historic Dennis Hotel is a family owned restaurant. The Dougherty family open their first restaurant in Atlantic City, in 1897 called Dock's, then the legendary Knife and Fork, but the latest family addition is Harry's Oyster Bar and Seafood Restaurant.

Harry's Oyster Bar is conveniently located right off the famous Atlantic City, boardwalk and surrounded by the old structure of the legendary Dennis Hotel, which is now Bally's hotel and casino. I notice that Harry's, had two completely different atmospheres? The inside is all about dark wood, beer, and New England clam chowder, that gives the feeling of Maine, in the winter. And the outside is all about colorful patio furniture, tropical drinks, and deep fried seafood, that gives a summer beach resort feel. Which is all separated by a large panoramic window! But to get the full spectrum and review of the food and atmosphere
at Harry's Oyster Bar and Seafood Restaurant,
 YOU MUST WATCH THE VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM!  

But don't turn off the video after the restaurant review, you see the great thing about the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, is you never know what fun entertainment you'll run into?
