As previously dining at the Kokkari was a great experience. Both the "Mezethes" and the entres were well prepared. The grilled whole fish (lavraki) was delicious. If i were to find one shortcoming it would be that the sauce should be more lemony. Also the ravili Greek style were very good with delicious broth. Service attentive and prompt. Great place for lunch or dinner.

It was the perfect dinner spot for a solo diner on Christmas eve and I scored a last minute 7:45 dinner reservation through Open Table. The restaurant was filled with joyful diners and my server was wonderful and helpful. My orecchiette (Orecchiette alla pugliese. broccolini, garlic, chili flakes, beyond hot italian sausage, coconut parmesan (cg). $23) was delicious. amy only disappointment was I was not notified my order was part of the last call, so when I finished, I was unable to order dessert. It was probably for the best, but having enjoyed Wildseed dessert in the past, I know it would have been delicious.
