About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
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.

    Kokkari has been one of our favorites for years. I don’t know if they have changed personnel/chefs etc but the lamb chops lacked so much flavor that I actually had to add salt. My husbands chicken breast was dry. The rib eye was still good. I also had to ask for butter and olive oil because it wasn’t brought o us with the bread. At around $69-$90 per entree I expect flavor and higher quality. We were disappointed. Likely will stick to trying out various appetizers and sharing one entree.

    We had a wonderful, leisurely lunch. Never felt rushed. Our server, Sophia, was great. Knew the menu and was helpful in our decision-making. She was attentive , but not overbearing. The food was SO delicious. Seating was so comfortable. Kokkari is terrific.
