Kokkari (pronounced “Ko-Kar-ee”) is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food “fit for the Gods” prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.

    Hidden gem inside of a very nice hotel. Popped in to have a quick lunch with my wife. The burger was cooked to her perfection, I had the omelette with potatoes and was really impressed. The service was outstanding! Definitely would recommend and return.

    One Market was a great place to go for dinner. The first thing you encounter are the staff and the ambience. Both felt extremely welcoming. The decor of the restaurant has a couple of features that make it outstanding without drawing attention to themselves. First is the layout and high ceiling; this allows for a festive overall feel while still allowing normal conversation. Second is it's location where Market turns the corner onto Steuart. Something about dining while watching buses and streetcars round the corner makes it feel a quintessential San Francisco experience. Food: The chicory salad was great. Bordering on minimalist it nevertheless held a great variety of flavors in choice of ingredients. We had a couple of non-alco drinks. I had a "faux groni" bitter drink. On its own, not so fun. But a great prime rib counterpoint. The prime rib. Admittedly SF has set a high bar with HOPR half a city away. So with the inevitable comparisons: Nice crusted cap surrounding the main body of meat. A little stringier than I like overall. The spinach was sauteed with the garlic a little overcooked for my liking. A small amount of mashed potatoes and the biggest popover I've seen on the side. An odd citrus-y butter presumably for the popover. Not horseradish so dont slather it on your meat. Overall, a very credible prime rib dinner. Dessert was very nice. I had the lemon cheesecake, my dining partner had the butterscotch pudding. The latter was pretty rich so warning there if you think it's tiny or if you conversely want something light. The cheesecake? As nice as it was it demonstrated the idea of seasonality. A square slab of cheesecake topped w/ a small scoop of raspberry sorbet was surrounded by summer berries. Some of which tasted exactly how you'd expect summer berries to taste in Dec. In closing, a place we'd revisit. Comfortable with a rewarding menu.

    We are sad that Mathilde is closing down. We just had our last diner here and as always it was outstanding! Cannot wait to dine again to their sister restaurant L’Ardoise! See you soon and thank you for the amazing diner.

    Had an amazing experience last night at Taksim. True to its culture, it indeed blended the old traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern touch by having locally sourced sustainable ingredients. Food is really good! The kitchen is so organized. Our host named Birkan made our dining experience a great one. Very attentive to our needs (not to mention he’s very good looking). I highly recommend this restaurant.
