Experience

Sophie Kai Dining Experience

The dining room leans into deep red walls, domed pendant lamps, marble and wood tables and a blue-wave window mural that nods to the 'Kai', sea, in the name. The mood is relaxed and stylish, with a soundtrack and bar program that extend the evening well past dinner.
