Joining me were 4 friends, i have to say we had the worst dining experience in my 25 years of going out. I deeply apologize to my friends by bringing them there and promise them to take them out again on me. To start with the salads, the lettuce were old and wilted, the edges were all blackened, ths sauce was pure SODIUM, the beef was very good. The entrees were also pure SODIUM, nothing subtle about the taste of it just pure soy and salt. and NOW for the sweets, The fried egg roll cheescake and creme brulee were spoiled and inside were curdled and were returned to the kithchen, the poundcake with ice cream was ok and we were charged for all these. I thought that since CONTINENTAL is too noisy and thru recommendation from a friend from rettenhouse square, we should try this new place, wow, the HIP POP music was blaring and asked the waiter to tone it down a bit so we can hear ourselves . This is as bad as the old GURU on South Stree. no one ever learned. Filipino dish? hambug? nothing Filipino about the dish and i am from rhe Philippines.
