Q&A: Birthday celebrations and cold weather take-and-bake

Each week, we answer reader questions about food and drink in Charlotte


Q: We’ve got a birthday coming up and want to go somewhere with good food and vibes, somewhere you can hang for a bit. We eat anything and are down to try something new.
Kristen:
I’d check out L’Ostrica’s tasting menu, which is perfect for a leisurely meal and celebration. Kappo En’s omakase is another one that could be fun. If you want something a bit more casual, I’d suggest heading to Dozo then out for a few cocktails afterwards.

Q: What’s some good take-and-bake to have on hand ahead of the bad weather this weekend?
Kristen:
I love to stock up at Pasta and Provisions! Mano Bella and Thoughtful Baking Co. are two other great options. The Butler’s Pantry is another good spot for grab-and-go, especially soups.

Q: Checking back for an update on Mezzo Market. Looks to be coming right along. I can see stuff inside. Any updates on opening, hours, menus?
Kristen:
Let me see what I can find out! I’m equally as excited for this one.
