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.

    Excellent food and fantastic service! It's a regular stop for my 95 year old cousin and we always join when in town. Nothing is cheap especially in SF but fact is for the excellence this restaurant is a good deal.....paid similar for much less quality and service in other Sf restaurants. If you want a excellent Italian restaurant with great service, excellent food and a very pleasant and authentic antmosphere this is a must go!

    Amazing dining experience for my husband's birthday. Daria was our server and was excellent. We loved her suggestions on the menu as well. We enjoyed the octopus (best I've ever had), lamb meatballs, Gigantes, Smelt, and the goat stew to finish. We were absolutely stuffed and definitely slept like babies! Everything was stunning. I've heard such wonderful things before coming here, and they had exceeded my expectations.

    We have attended this restaurant multiple times throughout the years since 2010 for Christmas Eve as a couple and with additional family. The service is great and the food is always good and everything we have ordered from steak to salads, and Fish & Chips are well prepared. On this occasion it was Christmas Eve and just the two of and it was great. This consistent quality and services brings us back each year.

    The service by Asreal and staff was incredible- knowledgable, attentive, courteous, helpful, patient. Everything was brought to us timely. The food was incredible, and presented well. Portions were good. Of course it's expensive for us, but well worth it for the seat by the window overlooking the bay, the service and the food. Highly recommend for a special occasion. Recommend making a reservation and requesting a window seat.

    We returned for a second visit this holiday season; it was wonderful. Got adventurous and had the creamed corn. I noticed my daughters snuck more than an initial half teaspoon taste. It was very, very good. Not watery creamy. This had a nice texture. Try it! The prime rib was exceptional. I had the smaller portion. One daughter had the thinner slices. One daughter had the regular cut. All were sumptuous! Had a baked potato instead of the mashed. It was yummy. We ordered an apple crisp to share between the three of us. It was delicious with a nice amount of apple slices hidden under the topping and surrounded by the usual warm spices. Our server was great! She was friendly, attentive but didn’t hover. Thank you all for a wonderful evening! I may not be back for a while. Palo Alto daughter is moving to Duarte. CA this summer. If she needs help moving, we’ll have to do a farewell visit at House of Prime Rib. Again, thank you!
