Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Benicia

As previously dining at the Kokkari was a great experience. Both the "Mezethes" and the entres were well prepared. The grilled whole fish (lavraki) was delicious. If i were to find one shortcoming it would be that the sauce should be more lemony. Also the ravili Greek style were very good with delicious broth. Service attentive and prompt. Great place for lunch or dinner.

Excellent service from beginning to end. Our waiter was superb. Food was heavenly as always. Always a special treat to celebrate occassions here. Disappointed though they don’t do the complimentary birthday desserts anymore. We ordered desserts but HOPR used to also do a fun little free birthday dessert for the birthday guests.

Lovely dinner. My mom enjoyed the food, the food reminded her of food my grandmother cooked

We really enjoyed our lunch at Bella Siena. The filet beef carpaccio was amazing! We had a variety of dishes (gnocchi pesto, lobster ravioli, frutti di mare, pappardelle) at our table of 5 and a couple people had special requests (such as no tomatoes or no salmon in the Frutti do Mare) and the restaurant was happy to make adjustments to any meal. All pasta tasted homemade! In addition to having a fantastic meal, the restaurant has a very nice view of the water from the dining area. I’d definitely recommend Bella Siena if you want quality Italian food! We will definitely be back.

Acre never disappoints. This was no exception. There was a delay in the kitchen and food was taking longer than usual to come out. We barely noticed because we were with old friends catching up. But the manager came out and apologized and brought us a free appetizer and comped another round of drinks, so we were all good!
