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.

    Had a wonderful experience at Copra last night. We sat in the main part of the dining room which is quite open. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in helping us understand the menu and create a nice meal. The food was interesting and very flavorful. Very creative menu that had us all feeling we were on a bit of a culinary journey. We loved everything but the black cod was by far the best entree. We went with what the waiter and chef recommended and we were so happy we did. Can't wait to go back soon.

    Excellent food and service! Staff were amazing! There were street closures and horrible traffic so my friends were 40 minutes late but the restaurant was extremely understanding. It was for a birthday celebration and the restaurant had prepared a super cute birthday card with built-in light. I wish some of the food portions were larger. Wine pairing was fantastic! Occasionally a bit noisy. Lighting was a little strange where half of our table was much brighter than the other half. I will come back and I recommend!
