"The restaurant group behind Krasi and Bar Vlaha, two of the toughest tables in town, seemingly can’t stop opening Greek restaurants. Not that we’re complaining. Kaia, the latest addition, is the sexy older sister that just breezed into town on a private jet from Santorini. The energy and the menu is very Greek isles, which means there’s lots of fish, lamb, and a host stand that doubles as a DJ booth. Set on the ground floor of one of the many new shiny towers in the South End, even the space evokes the islands, with a pillar that looks ripped from the Parthenon and soft tones of white and beige. The food is excellent and puts Greek ingredients front and center, in dishes like rich lamb carpaccio and a spicy feta dip made dank with stinky tofu." - tanya edwards, grace kelly
