   Look I love your place but honestly we felt like we were rushed, it’s not my problem when you take a 9:30 reservation then tell me the kitchen is about to close so hurry up. Not ok

   Third time I have eaten here. Each time I try to understand why this place is so oft visited or well reviewed. Well, I just don’t get it. I love Greek food. Would choose several other restaurants to get Greek food before this. The avgolemeno soup( one of my favorite soups) is watery and lacks flavor. The only good thing about the place is the ambiance. The lighting and seating is perfect. You are seated close but far enough away from others to make it for a private dining experience but with people watching.

   The place is amazing. Food was phenomenal. Our server, Mare, made great recommendations on food and wine. She was able to pair our goat stew and salmon entrées with a stunning burgundy, really made the night. Can’t wait to go back!

    Overall we had a nice meal but I was a bit underwhelmed. Food was good but nothing that seems to warrant the impossible to get reservation. The hummus was really bland - pita was delicious. We had the sea bass and the lamb chops. Both were good but not particularly memorable. Service was great and restaurant is very cozy.

    The whole Sea Bass was amazing as was the flourless chocolate cake. Appetizers were very good but not as amazing (Lamb rubles, onion and fig flat bread, greek potatoes, and greek salad). Service was excellent and the ambiance was lovely. Definitely a special place!

    We heard that a former neighbor was in town too so I invited her and her daughter to lunch. It was great to share the gem of Kokkari with them. Whenever I know of someone traveling to San Francisco I tell them to quickly make a reservation! We are from Arkansas and look forward to our west coast travels especially our dining at Kokkari.

    We chose to make a meal of appetizers, along with the fresh peach salad. The food was fresh and flavorful, reminding us very much of why we want to go to Greece and soon! The service over all was excellent, prompt and thoughtful, without being intrusive. A perfect place for a comfortably paced meal and thoughtful conversation.

    This place has no right calling itself a Greek restaurant. They sat us at an uncomfortable table within intimate distance of other guests. Then they would not take my interim California ID as proof of being over 21, which was frustrating. We ordered the saganaki and the grilled octopus, the saganaki was decent, but the grilled octopus was poorly seasoned, mushy, and definitely not fresh. Then we ordered a Greek salad which was brought as a hilariously small portion for two people and very little feta for the price. I must say the olive oil and feta were good but those are just ingredients I could buy at my local Greek market. Then we ordered the oven roasted glossa (sole) at market price, which came out to be $46. Only half of the fish was delivered on our plate, with very little meat on it. The presentation was as if they had loaded the food on a cannon and shot it at a plate, then served that splatter to paying customers. They decided to put avgolemono (egg and lemon) on the fish which is an insult to Greek cuisine of the highest order. This is never something you'd see served as a sauce on a fish in Greece. The fish was tasteless, which is hard to accomplish for this kind of fish. Then there were olives that they decided to roast, these were mushy and salty with a raisin like consistency, I would only expect roasted olive on a pizza. Overall, I would not consider this to be authentic Greek food whatsoever, I would implore everyone to not come here and spend their money anywhere else. They are trying to present an upscale dining experience with some of the most heinous excuses for food that I have ever seen. They are disrespecting the culture that they are making money from. I hope to never have the misfortune of eating at this location ever again.

    While Kokkari checked most of the boxes, I felt that the food, though tasty and well prepared, was disappointing because of portion size. I ordered one of the specials of the day,lamb chops,and was surprised at the paucity of the serving-two small chops (not three, as in most upscale restaurants) from which I was able to get perhaps three ounces of meat in total. This is unacceptable. As a side note, I found the list of wines by the glass quite limited, especially in Greek offerings-it is a Greek restaurant, after all- and rather pricey;it was $21.00 for a glass of middle-of-the-road Assyrtico.

    Just love Kokkari. Always a special meal. Service is impeccable and pleasant. Food is consistently delicious. Octopus salad for lunch is my go to and can’t pass up the yogurt with honey and dates for dessert. Sooo good. The only downside is it is very very loud and some tables are very very close so don’t plan on having a private conversation.

    Great classic dining for celebrating a special ocassion, work dinners, or even just a date night out. They have fairly large (and beautiful) space which is rare in SF. They also have a variety of dishes and dessert selection. Only item to improve is perhaps a little variety but that is a minor note - there are plenty of dishes to select. The staff is wonderful and so is the ambience. Definitely would go again (and again)!
