Rada
Mediterranean
The San Sebastian martini, shaken with Basque pepper brine, sets the tone before you've looked at the menu. Rada is a sleek Mediterranean small-plates spot where the room feels cooler than you do but the hospitality quietly closes that gap. The compact menu shifts often and leans toward sharing, landing on the New York Times Restaurant List for 2025. Order one of the martinis first; you'll figure out the rest from there.
