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.

    We loved the welcoming staff and server. The food is delicious, and the drinks are original (not a full bar). But we were rushed toward the end of our meal because all the other patrons had left, and the staff wanted to close up. In total, we were in only for 56 min, and at 8:00 pm, we were in the street. I didn't have time to finish my drink. We will again, though.

    Grilled Halloumi, Gnocchi and chicken kebabs were excellent. Caesar salad was too soupy and didn’t have great flavor. Twisted Kadayik dessert was super delicious and unique. Wonderful, attentive service.

    Friendly, neighborhood restaurant. Great cocktails. Well- prepared food but I miss the old menu which had deviled eggs, fritters for happy hour menu and meatloaf. A while back there was the most delicious pork chop with a creamy mushroom sauce. I still think about it. Nicely decorated with beautiful, lit wreaths for the holidays. The staff go out of their way to check in with you for drinks, etc

    The pasta was very good. We all had more than enough to eat. We had the pappardelle with Lamb Bolognese, Lasagna (very meaty), gnocchi and bucatini. We shared the endive, walnut and gorgonzola salad. We loved the panna cotta and the chocolate torte ( both with raspberry sauce. The service was Molto bene!
