The classic cocktail culture of New York City is revived at this all-day gastro lounge, located inside The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park. Contour is expressed in the fluid, Matisse-inspired lines that adorn the ceiling; the easy, steady flow of drinks, energy and conversation; and the experience itself, which transforms throughout the day. Small plates showcase locally sourced ingredients, and cocktails, in their preparation and presentation, are beautifully refined. The social rhythm of the city and Matisse-inspired design is weaved through Contour’s three spaces including a marble bar and two unique lounge spaces.

    The servers could have been more attentive …I was concerned as an African American woman I had to wait until a white patron flagged a server over to assist me…I expect more of the Ritz Carlton..

    We came to this restaurant for my niece’s 24th birthday celebration. The food here was absolutely amazing! The service was exceptional. The best lobster roll I have ever had and I’ve eaten a lot. My niece said her steak was the best filet she’s ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Amazing ambiance. Lounge, bar and dining area offer great options for any occasion. Filet Mignon Sliders were tender and delicious. Party of 5 all loved their meal, dessert and cocktails. Excellent service too. A true upscale experience totally worth the Ritz price.

    The food was pretty decent, and the cocktail just ok. This was definitely NY prices but did not live up to the standard. We ate dinner elsewhere the next night at the same $$$$ point and it was incredible. We got our drinks and our food and no one ever came back. I had to go find the hostess to let her know we were ready to cash out. At $30+ an entree/cocktail you’d expect some service at least.

    Delicious food and truly outstanding service. An early dinner on a Friday (6 PM), we sat in the room near the windows, and the noise level was perfect. We decided to create our own "tasting menu" by sharing the Burrata, the Crab Cake, and the Filet Mignon sliders (they graciously leveled up the French fries to truffle/parmesan cheese fries). Everything was excellent. Thought we would finish with key lime pie (which we did!) ... and then received a complimentary chocolate mousse to help us celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed wine with dinner and coffee with dessert. We cannot compliment the staff enough for the way we were greeted, engaged, and cared for. A truly personal experience. Bravo!
