62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

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.

    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.

    We booked a reservation for two on a Friday night for our anniversary. We had passed by the restaurant for years and finally decided to try! Shelia at the hostess booth was warm and welcoming and got us seated at a cozy table away from everyone for our romantic evening. Delia, our server, took exceptional care of us. She offered very helpful insight to our order to make sure we were ordering things that complimented one another and helped so we didn’t order too much! Food was so nostalgic and good, everything we ordered was perfect. They were even sweet enough to bring us out a small dessert plate and two glasses of bubbly for our special night. We can’t wait to come back with friends !
