"A good restaurant not only provides decent food but also adds the considerateness for the customers to warm your stomach. Contra did that, well done! We had 3 people for the dinner and almost ordered all the food on the menu except for some dishes with unfavorable ingredient. The appetizers were wagyu beef crudo and fish tartare, tofu (my favorite), and all of them were delicious. Entrees were lobster tart, smoked eel and monkfish. I would say entrees not as good as appetizers but still above average, not affecting the magic and good mood to expect the following dishes. Lobster tart was kinda salty, but might be it supposed to be. Then here came the dessert. They were great! Satsumo mandari...

Came to the place with high expectations and it overall was pretty satisfied. Went for the table d’hôte. It came with 6 courses including a dessert at the end. Stars among the offering were the scallop, prawns and eel dishes. The beef wagyu dish was a bit heavy on the lemon. The rest of the meal, was alright. The dehydrated strawberry cream was a nice dish to end off the meal. The service was good throughout the evening. Overall would recommend and would comeback to see what new cool concepts they have to offer.

Some of the best food that I've had in the city. Very casual, cozy atmosphere, with attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff. Dishes were appropriately hot or cold and composed excellently, and the restaurant didn't try to be pretentious. It lives in an element on its own, not trying to be something like per se or Masa, but also bring of exceedingly good quality. I highly suggest the carte blanche, but if I were to recommend anything a la carte, it'd be the 2nd course, which is a superb wagyu crudo with mole and sesame.
