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.

    From the moment the hostess greeted us, to the moment we finished our delicious meal, everything was impeccable. Natural, not forced, authentic and genuine service. They accommodated our early arrival and Frank our server politely wished us a Happy Anniversary, all with class and poise. Highly recommend this beautiful and perfectly decorated establishment. 10/10, 5 stars, bravo!

    Kokkari never disappoints. I eat here regularly for business but this dinner was with my husband. We had the baked Feta with cherry tomatoes and the feta salad to start. All the starters are amazing and it is always difficult to choose among them. My husband had the lamb special - a whole lamb was roasted on site in the large fireplace spit in the dining room, and I had the lamb souvlaki. Both dishes were amazing. But the thing that sets Kokkari apart is the service. The servers have all been there for years and have a deft sense of engagement and timing. if you have questions, they are knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu and wine list. If you need to conduct business or have a romantic meal, they move around you with elegance and grace. We will go back as often as they will have us.

    I have dined many times over the years at both Kokkari and Evvia. They are among my very favorite in the Bay Area. I especially have loved the branzino and order it as my entree nearly every time. In fact, I have told everyone I’ve brought to the restaurant it’s the best in the country. I was so disappointed last night. For me and my guest, ours was over grilled and dry. When I told the waiter at the end of our meal, his response was I’m sorry and I will tell the chef. That’s it. He was nice enough for sure throughout the evening but his attitude given the feedback was one of nonchalance. I ended up apologizing to my guest from Hawaii and I left feeling I oversold how good Kokkari is. My guest agreed it was just “okay”. I rate it as the worst in terms of the entree I’ve had at Kokkari. One other thing…ultimately we were not rushed; but the constant checking to see how far along in the meal we were by the maitre’d was truly annoying and not discreet in the least. All in all, my least favorable experience (and this was a business dinner) ever at Kokkari. Note: I’m really interested to see if I get a response to this note. It is a rare thing for me to make comments here; I’m doing so because I know you want Kokkari to always live up to its reputation. It didn’t last night.

    Our server, Stephanie, was courteous, personable and on point. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Love the gigantes, grilled shrimp and the roasted chicken with potatoes and vegetables. Delish!

    The lamb and chicken were very good. Although the chicken seems to taste different and served a bit different than when we were here last time about 5 months ago. The rib eye was a missed. We asked for medium rare , steak came out very rare . It made the steak tasted chewy and not good. We didn’t want to be a pain and send food back.

    Loved the octopus and the appetizer special of rabbit for the evening. The goat stew was a highlight, which was well seasoned and felt like a very comforting meal.
