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.

Seated quickly at a lovely table. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was spectacular. I love the simple elegant Greek salad . The lamb rib lets are cooked to perfect tenderness and simple flavors without being overpowered with herbs. Look forward to next time

My friend and I met for a lunch catchup. We had a wonderful experience at Scoma. The food was excellent and the service was attentive, professional yet friendly. Loved that the server offered us a coffee to refill our finished cappuccinos as we were staying a while longer. Really enjoyed the afternoon.

Really beautiful food, although over all service was good the server didn’t seem to know how to describe anything on the menu when asked, lucky for us we ordered things anyway and they didn’t disappoint.
