About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • 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.

    We did not know what to expect but everything we had exceeded it. We had the arugula salad, calamari, med sea bass, chicken, baklava and crepe puffs. Finished every bite. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful

    Throughout the 12 year I have lived in SF, I have dined multiple times in Kokkari, and it still remains my favorite Greek restaurant outside of Greece. Its food, service, and overall ambiance are absolutely outstanding.

    Another absolutely incredible meal at Kokkari! The food was sublime…. Simple and stunning! The service was divine! My guest has a severe restriction on salt and the entire team, from our server to the enter staff bringing us plates, all were equally aware and took extreme care to cater to her. We were both blown aware with the grace and ease with which the staff executed everything so perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Forever your fan, David

    Kokkari is one of the best restaurants but they have a couple of waiters that have a terrible attitude and it really impacts the dining experience. Last night, we were there to celebrate my mother’s birthday and we had several bitter moments with the waiter’s terrible attitude. I’ve been there enough to know that this is not the case with most waiters but there’s a couple that really impact dining experience
