Kaia

Kaia serves coastal Greek food in the South End, with whole grilled fish, crudo and meze at the center of the menu. Start with spreads and oregano bread, crispy zucchini chips or chargrilled octopus, then choose a fish for the table. The kitchen offers a traditional preparation with lemon and olive oil as well as a version brushed with orange blossom honey. Larger shared dishes include lobster pasta, lamb and ribeye, giving a group room to order beyond seafood. Aegean wines and cocktails accompany dinner, and there is a patio during the warmer months. The Harrison Avenue location makes it an option for a full evening out or a few plates and drinks with friends.
