About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
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.

    Two people recommended to us—we were happy to snag what must have been a cancellation reservation on a Friday night while visiting from San Diego. Lovely dinner with nice service.

    Everything from the seating to the closing was perfect. Perfect food, perfect service, and a quick visit from the chef to tell us about his amazing hot sauce. Remains one of the best restaurants in SF for a reason.

    The dining experience was outstanding, and the food matched that level. The staff impressed us, especially the waiter, who went well beyond expectations to clarify the menu since it was our first visit. We will certainly return for another five-star experience.

    Food was delicious, service was a little bit off. Long waits just for water, cocktails bread, and the main dish was fired too soon and came right after our appetizers, but the food was good

    Excellent food. Excellent Ouzo and Grappa. Excellent service from the French gentleman who used to live in Paphos, Cyprus. Best food we ate in San Francisco
