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.

    Today's experience was great! Antonio's service was excellent. My husband was there 2 weeks ago on Jan 15, 2025. He says the service and the food was completely different from why was served on that day. He doesn't remember the server. There were a party of 9 and they were there to celebrate a birthday. The server did not asked if they were doing any celebrations, the food portion was small when he compared it with the house cut he had today. He doesn't understand why there's such a hugh discrepancy in service and food portion when he compared it from 2 weeks ago. They sat in the main dining room. Today's dining was all around excellent.

    ✨ A Must-Visit Gem in the Presidio! ✨ Dalida is stunning, with a warm and inviting ambiance that perfectly blends modern elegance with cozy Mediterranean charm. But let’s talk about the food—because WOW. We started with the Breaking Bread platter, and I can confidently say it was one of the best appetizers I’ve had in a long time. The house-made hummus was impossibly smooth and flavorful, the muhammara had the perfect balance of smoky and sweet, and the smoked yogurt spread was a revelation. And the pita? Absolute perfection—fresh, warm, pillowy, and just the right amount of char. We could have made a meal out of this alone! But the real showstopper? Dalida’s signature burger. This isn’t your average burger—it’s a lamb and beef kofta masterpiece, spiced to perfection, juicy, and packed with flavor. Instead of the usual toppings, they elevate it with labneh, pickled onions, and a fragrant, herb-packed zhug sauce—every bite was an explosion of flavor. And the bun? Soft, yet sturdy enough to hold all that deliciousness together. This is how you do a burger with a Mediterranean twist! Service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the menu. Every recommendation from our server was spot on, and they made us feel truly welcome. Dalida is an absolute must-visit in San Francisco. Whether you’re looking for a cozy date night spot, a vibrant gathering with friends, or just an unforgettable meal, this place delivers in every way. Can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Third visit to Sula over a weekend. Superior flavoring to the food than the first visit, for sure. Tip is to order poached eggs instead of scrambled. Juices are tiny, so suggestion is to go for a latte, instead (also more logically priced). Otherwise, a fine breakfast experience - we would recommend trying it once, at least, for the views of the water and GGB. Quiet space, even on a busier Sat or Sun morning (brunch menu is good for variety). Farley for lunch or dinner were better food and vibe-wise, in our opinion - neat “date night” for locals like ourselves, too.
