An ode to seasonality, served by candlelight.
Tucked away in Southampton, Kıa is a restaurant of restraint and romance. Our kitchen draws from the South Coast's finest growers, fishermen and foragers — composing menus that change with the tides of the season.
We believe in the beauty of small details: the warmth of a room, the rhythm of a service, the silence between courses.
