A note from the founder

For my mother.

Dia is my mother's middle name. She has been my greatest supporter for as long as I can remember, and every plate on this menu is a small thank-you for the table she taught me to keep.

Three rivers ran through her life — the Blackfoot Plains, the West Indian islands, and the Geechee Lowcountry — and they all flowed into her kitchen. What follows is a menu written in her hand.

Come hungry. Stay late. Bring the people you love.

— Aaron Lewis · Founder, Society Luxe Hospitality Group

The Three Rivers

The geography of her kitchen.

The menu at Dia is organized like the table my mother kept — six courses, family style at heart, fine dining in execution. But the soul of it lives in these three heritage traditions.

Blackfoot Plains

Blue corn, wild game, hearth cooking, and the traditions of my grandmother's plains lineage.

West Indian Islands

Callaloo, coconut, scotch bonnet, and the bright, spice-forward cooking of the islands.

Geechee Lowcountry

Carolina Gold rice, benne seed, blue crab, and the deep Gullah-Geechee coastal foodways.
