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.

    We celebrated two birthdays and it was everyone’s first time. Our server Michael was incredibly knowledgeable but also super down to earth and made all of us feel comfortable. We don’t usually eat out and don’t have an extensive understanding of wines/ cuts of beef. All of his recommendations were spot on and I would definitely recommend Harris to anyone and everyone. The lobster was heavenly, the executive prime rib was OUT OF THIS WORLD, steak tartare was the best I’ve ever had, and the list goes on. I will definitely be coming back in the next few months! Sorry Maestro’s, we found a new place to dine out 🤣
