Rada

My very first restaurant review (be gentle) takes on Rada, the new Myers Park spot that quietly opened in the old littleSpoon space with zero menu posted online — an approach that felt less mysterious and more like stalking an ex's private Instagram. Braving 29-degree weather to actually leave my house, I found a cozy, moodily-lit room with arched doorways and globe lights that felt more NYC side-street than Charlotte. One mildly infuriating catch: you have to order your entire meal upfront instead of pacing it out, which is a personal nightmare for anyone medicated for anxiety. Full rundown of the food ahead.
