Kokkari Estiatorio
Diners’ top pick
•
$$$$
•
Mediterranean
•
4.9
(8256)
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.

Hi Neighbor!
At Trestle, we remember a time, not too long ago, where people took pause to enjoy a meal in the presence of great company, giving it the reverence and respect deserved. We provide a dining experience served in courses, with the satisfaction and warmth found at a family gathering, creating the foundation to a proper meal.
Every day we feature a changing 3 course prix fixe menu with choices on each course for $42/person. We will have an optional additional pasta course for $12/person. Unfortunately, we do not offer ala-carte options.
We are able to accommodate vegetarian options nightly. We do our best to accommodate other allergies/restrictions based on the menu for that evening.
Due to our limited spacing, we can accommodate parties of 8 or less only.

An exceptionally stylish supper club, civilized speakeasy, a sophisticated saloon. Each of these "personae" is housed in a soaring two-story interior distinguished by a gently curving mahogany bar, fluted columns with ornate capitals, stunning original art, plush banquettes, cozy booths, starched linens, glittering glasses, and polished flatware.
Overall, the ambiance is pure 1930's and 1940's - tasteful art moderne reminiscent of the glory days of Cunard and French Line ships. Fashionable and glamorous are the hallmarks. Trendy is simply not a part of the BIX culture.
The clientele at BIX ranges from San Francisco movers-and-shakers to "savvy travelers" - owner Doug Biederbeck's term for the many diners in the know from out of town who patronize his establishment.
All of them step from the featureless alley into another world - a world of superb cookery and libations, of sparkling service, of stylish nostalgia, of polished live jazz. That world is BIX.

Rice sits in the center, and a small portion of 2-3 stir-fries, soups, curries or fried items are served alongside. Hed presents this unique culture with our tri-colors rice from Thailand, an appetizer, a stir-fry, a curry, a fried item, a variety of sauces and seasonal ingredients

Perry’s is known today, as much as ever, for its classic American food, its warm personable service and its fun, bustling bar. Perry's traditional yet innovative menu includes a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, pastas, steaks and grilled fresh fish.

    Kokkari is the best Mediterranean style restaurant in the area. It is perfectly located close to the Embarcadero for travelers with short stays in the City and a desire for good food. The ambiance and the service are absolutely outstanding, and the food is spectacular. We were two families one local and one visiting from Argentina, a group of 7 so we had a chance to try several dishes, the calamari, the octopus, the moussaka, the zucchini cakes, and the halloumi for appetizers were truly excellent, the calamari in particular is stuffed with feta cheese and it is so tender and delicious, the octopus is cooked perfectly! For the Entrees we had the lamb chops, which were very good, but I wished we had chosen something I didn't often make at home and the sea bass which was just incredible. For dessert we had baklava and the greek yogurt with walnuts, delicious! The place does not disappoint, dine at this fine place with confidence! But bring a thick wallet :)

    Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and great service. The dealbreaker was that there was a huge influx of people at the bar, including kids, which changed everything. Who brings their kids to a bar on Saturday night? What kind of restaurant allows kids in their bar? I don’t want to hear kids screaming when I’m spending $200+ for a meal. Never again.
