Kokkari Estiatorio

Everything was super tasty and I loved the ambiance. I’ll definitely have to go back so I can try more items on the menu!

First time in San Fran. Came on the recommendation of a friend. Food was perfect, service was warm and friendly but professional and knowledgeable. Very helpful. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. Loved it.

Muy agradable lugar al que no suele llegarse como turista.
Excelente comida

I wanted to hail, I believe her name was Alana. She couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. Both of my guests had never been there before so it was a real thrill for them.
Thank you.

Lovely ambiance and wonderful food. Always enjoy Kokkari!

Amazing food and amazing service. Very authentic and makes you feel like you transported to Greece

Enjoyed the dining experience.

Great meal and terrific service!

The grilled octopus was out of this world and I’d go back just for that! The Greek salad was under seasoned and the tomatoes were mushy, and we had to send one of the lamb chops back because it was very rare. Greek potatoes and saganaki were definitely impressive with the cheese still sizzling on the skillet, delicious!!

All was very good. Hostess was very accommodating offering us a choice of seating

Lovely food, staff knowledgeable on the wine list. Will be dining again

My favorite restaurant in San Francisco for more than two decades!

Kokkari never disappoints! This time they outdid themselves. Not only was the food excellent but the service was incredibly thoughtful with just the right balance of friendliness and distance. A standout was the fresh plump squid stuffed with feta and olives on a bed of watercress. Sublime. The coffee is the best I have tasted in ages - even the decaf. And they brought out a scoop of baklava ice cream with a candle for my friend;s birthday even though we did not order any other desserts.
The decor and atmosphere are of a class and elegance it has become all too hard to find in San Francisco or anywhere else these days.
Kokkari is a wonderful experience whether for lunch or dinner.

Waiter wasn’t very friendly but the rest of the staff was great. Food is very good and the place is really charming.

This was our last dinner in San Francisco before heading back to VA. The overall experience was great...food was good, service was good. Will definitely return on our next visit.

I’ll begin by saying that I love Kokkari and always look forward to my dining experience. Unfortunately, this visit offered some disappointments; the wine took 15 mins to arrive to the table, the lamb riblet’s were very fatty and the smelts were cool. My colleague felt the same about his riblets. On the other hand, the halibut and the moussaka were perfect. Give this place a try if you’ve never been. The food is generally delicious and the wine never takes as long to arrive to the table.
Cheers!

As always, very good & fun Greek-inspired food. The whole fish served deboned was the highlight. Lovely mellow Italian-American server “Raphael” was charming. Always high price, but you pay for what you get & get what you pay for, right? And this is SF...

The food was good, we expected a little bit more with the reviews being so high. The service was good, but it seemed like our server was not taking the time to understand what we were saying.

The best. Went with my boys and we all enjoyed this special treat! The food was outstanding and it's not easy to please all of us :-)

Key was our waiter. He was personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. His wine recommendations were also perfect and appreciated. The food was great as usual. Had the prawns, greek salad, ribeye, branzino and baklava. All really delicious and perfectly prepared to our liking.

Excellent Mediterranean! Our waiter Todd was exceptional.

It is always such a treat to have a meal at Kokkari! Thank you for a consistently wonderful experience!

Fantastic environment and food is exceptional good.

One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco and, as long as you like Greek/Mediterranean food, it's a must go-to place. Top recommendation.

Kokkari gets it right every time, year after year.

Menu is quite limited and food good but not spectacular. I had moussaka which was very average. Hard to believe how hard it was to get a reservation. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes

Old world elegance without being stuffy. Excellent staff and a very professionally run. The menu is so far beyond the ordinary-loads of items to try. Great cross section of customers. Great open pit cooked meats Highly recommend.

Wonderfull Mediterranean food, a bit pricey. Great wine list with many lesser known wines from that area. Superb service.

The food is amazing and the ambience as well. Great service but they gave us a very small table hard to fit. But anyway we enjoyed a lot

The best. Everything delicious. Fly from Virginia to eat here every year!

Always a great experience, great food and service.

Great place for Greek Food! Environment is wonderful. Famous Restaurant.

Always excellent!

We shared several small plates for lunch. The menu offers a authentic variety of Greek traditional dishes, well prepared, well presented. Our waiter was a little to attentive, I believe to move the table.

What a great restaurant! It was hitting on all cylinders for our dinner. Wonderful fish & lamb...& a very good wine list!

Excellent food and service as always

It was great

Best service we’ve ever experienced!

Excelente experiencia y comida
Todo con altos niveles de calidad

I had heard wonderful things about Kokkari from friends and knew it was difficult to get a reservation, so I'm happy to say that everything met my expectations and our food exceeded my expectations. Our table selection wasn't great...too close to the door and it was quite cold outside that night. Our server was lovely, but she seemed perhaps new to the job and was a bit spacey at times. Overall the place was pretty noisy and it was difficult to carry on conversations or hear the server. There was a long line of people waiting to be seated while we were dining, and I was pleased that we didn't feel rushed to leave because we were a group of friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time. Our meals were all exceptional. I had the halibut, my friend had the lamb rotisserie special, and my other friend had the moussaka. We were all thrilled. We had 3 appetizers as well, the octopus (nice), the citrus salad (amazing) and the artichokes (lovely). Our desserts were simply incredible. Best baklava I've ever had (& a generous portion) and the flourless chocolate cake was really great too. I felt like I wanted to tell everyone I know about our amazing meal and can't wait to return.
