We loved every aspect of our experience here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing: delicious, local and fresh. The sommelier helped us choose wine from their extensive selection of small hyper local wineries. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. This was our first visit but we will be regulars from now on!

About the restaurant

Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

The service was outstanding. The waiter, the bartender, the cooks, the owner.

Sonoma

About the restaurant

Nestled among the historic buildings surrounding Sonoma's iconic plaza, LaSalette Restaurant has earned its reputation as one of Sonoma Valley's favorite dining destinations since its inception in 1998. Chef Manuel Azevedo's signature Cozinha Nova Portuguesa ("New Portuguese Cuisine") celebrates the diverse and complex flavors of his native Portugal while adapting them to the bounty of top-quality ingredients found in California. The result is a distinctive cuisine that blends familiar Southern European comfort foods, exotic seasonings inspired by Portugal's centuries of global exploration, and fresh, seasonal Californian produce. As the continued success of LaSalette demonstrates, this fusion is a winning combination for lovers of traditional Portuguese fare and adventurous gourmets alike.

Financial District / Embarcadero

About the restaurant

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 never disappoints. Had another fantastic lunch experience with colleagues. Grilled Octopus, Roasted Asparagus, Zucchini Cakes, and Whole Sea Bream...all were exceptional. Looking forward to returning soon.

The host and waiters were personable and attentive. The menu had many appealing items. My wife and I settled on the cabbage rolls and roasted vegetables for starters. For our main dish, she ordered the fillet of sole and I the pork chop. For dessert, we shared the strawberry/rhubarb pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All dishes were attractively presented, exceptionally prepared, and tasty. I topped the meal off with a rich tasting cappuccino. Always enjoy dining at Central Market. I highly recommend it.

"Welcome to our home. Meyhouse is a casual place where family and friends get together over a drink, mezes, unique seafood, and grilled delicacies.
Our philosophy is unique in many ways. We have an ingredient first approach, which means we handle ingredients as minimally as possible through the cooking process. We source the highest quality ingredients we can find and let them shine. Our recipes are as authentic as possible, no sous vide or modernist cuisine can be found here."

Everything we ate was delicious. The sesame crusted bread was a great accompaniment throughout the meal to dip into the sauces and hummus. We shared and ate every bite of Levrek (marinated branzino) Turkmen Mantisi -Steamed dumplings over garlic yogurt with paprika-butter, hummus, and lamb chops and profiterole for dessert. A perfect gin martini and a virgin mojito. The place is large and nicely decorated and service was very good. Will definitely return.
