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.

Service was great and food was delicious! I told the waitress that we only had 45 minutes to spare and she helped us pick menu options that would come out quickly.

Blue Table was the perfect dinner spot for our annual SF Holiday dinner. The dumplings were delicious, the cocktails perfect, the Christmas tree was beautiful. Smelled like pine .. our server (Ashley) was great and she had fabulous recommendations! It was pricey as expected for the Marina. Would def go again. Highly recommend the baked bbq pork buns and crab and pork dumpling. Family favorites!

Always An amazing experience! Everything on the Menus is dependable and superb. We had an extra person and a miscommunication on our reservation however Val the lead hostess and manager made a huge effort to accommodate us and ensure we could fit our guest. I’ve never seen a manager go through so much effort and be as gracious as Val was and go above and beyond to help us out. Thank you Val.
