Kaia Wine Bar is a South African-focused wine bar in Yorkville where farm-to-table small plates, game meats, and seafood rotate with the seasons alongside a deep South African wine list. Regulars treat it as a dimly lit neighborhood spot for long, wine-driven dinners rather than a quick glass at the bar.
