Kaia's current Seacuterie platter. Since we moved - not a lot of people know that we added an excellent RAWBAR station. I have always wanted one at old Kaia but space was an issue. Not here!!! HAPPY hour oysters all night long as well for $1. Our platter offerings will change often just to keep things fresh for the Summer. ๐ฆช๐ฟ๐ฆ - and off course a little Shout Out to for their excellent Pinotage Rose - The Fox & the Flamingo! ๐ท
