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.

The beverage menu features locally-sourced wines including a selection of Florence's own label, quality draft beers and organic root beer as well as classic Victorian-era cocktails.All three floors of the restaurant have been designed keeping historical accuracy in mind making Wayfare Tavern reminiscent of a Victorian parlor and an Edwardian men's club, where anything goes from black-tie to blue jeans. Pull up a stool to the Chef's Counter at the open kitchen and look on as Chef prepares your lunch or head to the Library and Billiard Room for a game of pool.

    Everything about our meal was amazing, appetizers to dessert. The sea bass in particular was terrific — as was the quiet, professional service and very comfortable booth. Kokkari never disappoints!

    The star of the evening was undoubtedly the grilled octopus, prepared with a masterful touch that spoke to the chef's expertise with seafood. The tender tentacles, charred to perfection, carried subtle notes of harissa and lemon, while maintaining the natural sweetness of the meat. Each bite offered that ideal combination of crispy exterior and buttery-soft interior that octopus aficionados dream about. The lamb dish proved equally impressive. Slow-cooked until falling off the bone, the meat was perfumed with an aromatic blend of traditional Tunisian spices. The accompanying bread, light and fluffy, served as the perfect vehicle for soaking up the rich, complex sauce. What sets this establishment apart is their commitment to authentic Tunisian coastal cuisine while maintaining exceptional quality across their menu. The kitchen demonstrates a deep understanding of traditional cooking techniques while adding subtle contemporary touches that enhance rather than overshadow the classic flavors.
