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.

    Always the best service in town. From the hostess to bartender to our server, everyone has our unique experiences in mind. In the hospitality world we talk a lot about “surprise and delight” moments for guests, of varying size depending on the group, occasion, etc, and foreign cinema always gets them JUUUST right. Not to mention the food is always superb

    Pan de queso, chicken skewer, ribeye steak, & yucca fries were absolutely delicious especially paired with one of their lovely wine options. The manager was very hospitable and knowledgeable. Restaurant has spacious options for bigger parties, I was surprised at how large the restaurant was in person. The ambiance was a little loud but who could blame them because the food is so great and I went on a busy Saturday night. I can't wait to go back.

    Amazing intimate experience….my only comment is with the rather odd musical choice but since the music was true background it didn’t really detract from the truly unique gastronomic experience. WOW wow wow
