About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
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.

    This is really a bar-side seating area with a very limited menu and should not be considered a restaurant at all. The bar itself, in my past experience, although small is very good.

    The food was fresh and delicious. Service was inattentive and frustrating. There were enough servers who could do a better job. We had dinner and breakfast there. Very few customers in restaurant both times. The hotel Ritz-Carlton was amazing w great service. The restaurant could have a huge clientele given the location. I hope they train the servers better!
