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.

It's a very unique experience! The Matterhorn is one of those places that immerses you into a stylized experience, with inviting aromas, gentle lighting, perfect dinner music and a wonderful ambiance. The cheeses were delicious and it was so much fun sharing them at the table and chatting about them. I would definitely come back!

Outside terrace seating is the best. It’s Restaurant Week and the set menu they offered was totally worth it. Drinks, appetizers, soup, salad came as soon as we ordered, but entrees were taking a long time. we had a movie to catch so I asked for entrees and desserts to be served together, and they obliged.
