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.

The team was attentive and that gives a good impression off the bat. It was our group’s first time so we did the tasting menu. Everyone was happy with the dishes which were artfully presented. Beef was tender and the fish is well balanced. The restaurant has a good acoustic and sound barrier so you can focus on your conversation and not overpowered by other tables’ whimsical. This is a nice neighborhood restaurant and we’ll check it out again.
