About the restaurant

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.

Always excellent, but tonight, while our server was excellent, it took forever to get the food. Hoping this was just a one-time issue.

I’d been waiting to try some peruvian cebiches and La Mar exceeded all expectations and then some. The cebiches, tiradito and crab tacos were amazing and the pisco sours were something else. Elyssa was a great server and all of her suggestions were a hit. Special mention to server Brad for the great recommendation, definitely will be coming back.

Mediterranean

Financial District / Embarcadero

About the restaurant

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 have always liked Kokkari, but a few months ago our server was Heather, and we were lucky enough to have her again this lunch. She is a total delight, and she makes the dining experience even more special. It was a birthday lunch, and it was a perfect place to celebrate. Thank you Kokkari-and Heather. Barbara T.

We had a variety of tapas and sangría and everything was excellent! Highly recommend, and on a warm evening it's lovely to sit outside. Inside is a bit too loud.
