About this restaurant

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

    Continues to be our go-to favorite for a special night out in San Francisco. The service is AMAZING and the food was delicious. The ambience was warm and inviting, as well as buzzing with people, which made it fascinating. We wish that there were more vegetarian options for entrees but that is our only criticism. We will be back!

    Kokkari is one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco! We have to eat here every time we come To the city. The food is delicious, the staff is amazing and so friendly. They accommodated me coming earlier than my 8 pm reservation and made us feel so welcome. I will continue to visit Kokkari and recommend it to others.
