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.

    Excellent ambience, food, service, and venue. The 10-oz. Lamb with potatoes entree and Mixed Berries with a dash of whipped cream dessert, both evening specials, were heavenly to dine for. The waitstaff honored our friend’s milestone birthday with a special candle on her chosen dessert. Kokkari’s entire staff is to be highly commended for their exceptional dedication and courteous service to its customers.

    Several of the dishes were good. Others fair. Prices are high, particularly for wine. Markups on wine appear higher than normal. Service very good.

    For the first time in 23 years The food was not up to par. Very sad. The artichoke app tasted bland and boiled. It is normally my fav dish.

    I hadn’t been here in years and my husband had never been so we celebrated our anniversary dinner at Kokkari. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is still delicious. We had the zucchini cakes and grilled octopus for appetizers. Both delicious. My husband and I ordered the lamb chops and chicken for our entrees. The lamb was delicious. The chicken was a little disappointing as it was a little underwhelming. But all in all, a great meal and great service.

    My wife and I took MUNI to Montgomery, walked 10 minutes to the restaurant, and arrived for dinner at 5:20 pm, before a show. We were immediately escorted to our table for two. Enjoyed the craft cocktails, everything on the menu was tempting! We decided on an appetizer, two salads, and split a main (the entrees are quite large, and the waitress confirmed this would be enough). The service was flawless - knowledgeable staff, very friendly and checking in on us, always available if we needed anything. The food was delicious! We enjoyed the lovely atmosphere, and we left by 6:50 pm, on schedule, to catch the show. I couldn't ask for a better experience!

    One of the most exceptional dinners I've ever had. The timing, the service, the food, all incredible. Only down side was not having enough people to try everything on the menu. Thank you Anne for helping us with strategize.

    Everything about Kokkari is excellent. The food, the atmosphere and the service. We had lemon oregano chicken and lamb chops. The meat was very well seasoned and moist. Delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant, just make sure you make your reservation 31 days in advance.
