Description

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 Moretreasured 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.

I absolutely loved the crispy zucchini cakes with cucumber & mint-yogurt dressing, Spanakotiropita, Kalamata Pita, the grilled calamari stuffed with feta, the Moussaka, and last but not least the Garides sto Furno. … Read full review
  • Rating: 5.0 out of 5"by Jenn M. at Yelp User Review2/1/2013I heard Kokkari is famous for their lamb chop but unfortunately I do not eat lamb thus I ordered the Mosharisia Brizola instead. The chief cooked the medium rare steak perfectly! It was juicy, pink, tender, melted in my mouth..mmhmm! Will definitely go back and try other dishes! Read full review
  • Rating: 5.0 out of 5"by Philip H. at Yelp User Review2/1/2013Had a wonderful meal at Kokkari and can't wait to go back. Yes, it's in the middle of nowhere in the Financial District, but well worth the trek from Alamo Square. Take a look at the food and hear about our experience. (URL removed) Read full review
