Best Mediterranean Restaurants in San Francisco Bay Area

Fun menu with emphasis on plates to share, creative use of seasonal ingredients and the pita bread is to die for. The Breaking Bread appetizer sampler is a must order. Lamb chops were divine. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive, but not overly so--made for a delicious, relaxing weekday lunch with girlfriends.

I used to love this place, then I moved abroad for 20 years, but went here again, and it is just as good as I remember!! grilled perfection! the dining room is cozy and warm, the booth seats comfortable. our server was the best - attentive but not intrusive - he really did an outstanding job (don't recall his name but has worked there 9 years and has 2 little kids, brown hair with some facial hair - shout out to him - he did a great job!) appetizers arrived lightning fast - aubergine and warm pita, grilled stuffed calamari(YUM), lamb meatballs (nomnomnom), baked gigante beans. mains were lamb skewers (yum) and branzino(5star), which was insanely delish and highly recommended. dessert was baklava, which I don't normally love, but theirs was sooo good and spicy, I highly recommend, and we got an ice cream sundae which was enormous and tasty. im so pleased Kokkari is still around and better than ever. great meal - thanks to the entire team!! can't wait to go back !!

I celebrated my birthday here on Tuesday night. My party needed a few special accommodations met and the staff fulfilled them all happily and efficiently. The food was amazing and the cocktails were exquisite! We absolutely loved our intimate nook on the street parklet with its cozy heaters and vibey chill ambience. The standout moment goes to our server LAURA! She was so warm, funny and entertaining, which is exactly what is needed to make an occasion (like my birthday party) special. She even snapped a photo of my party after the restaurant closed. Thank you LAURA!

An excellent experience all around. We sat on the patio with the heaters and were comfortable the whole time. The chickpea hummus was excellent, as were the blistered peppers. For man courses, we had the track of lamb and the scallops. It's so nice to have lamb in a restaurant that understands how to prepare lamb. Mine was seared on the outside and juicy rare as I ordered it- absolutely perfect. The scallops were prepared beautifully and tasted great. The staff was attentive without hovering. We'll definitely be back!

A really delightful place for lunch, cozy, warm ambiance. Menu selection varied, quality ingredients, and very flavorful dishes. Try the tahini hummus, muhammara and adana kebab - delicious! Staff members are attentive and patient. I'd definitely return.
