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.

As pioneers of farming Sturgeon for caviar, our mission is to provide a quality caviar that rivals the traditional imported varieties. By offering an alternative to the caviar harvested from wild Sturgeon, we can alleviate the demand for imported caviar, thereby ensuring an abundant and consistent supply of caviar from around the world for generations to come. Equally important for us, and for the survival of wild Sturgeon, is to educate our consumers on the importance of choosing sustainable caviar.We have seen top chefs and gourmet aficionados switch their loyalty from Caspian caviar to California farmed Sturgeon caviar, thus embracing and supporting this crucial movement. The more successful we are in educating our consumers, the more we can help change the paradigm for how America's professional and amateur chefs perceive and eat caviar.

    10 out of 10 experience! The service was friendly, warm, and knowledgable. Little touches like how quickly they refolded a napkin when a person got up from the table and how the kitchen was able to accommodate our group splitting the lamb chops with one being at a different temperature, really impressed me. This is an SF institution for a reason, and I can't wait to come back!

    This is my 4th time visiting Arquet in the last 6 months. Why do I keep coming back with different groups of friends? I love the food variety and creative cocktails! Each bite you can taste the passion of each chef who put 120% into every single dish. The chicken is so tender and juicy, the snapper is cooked through yet moist, the short rib melts in your month. I can go on and on. Wine list is also incredible and majority of the selection is affordable and they are great tasting wine!

    Our last meal was excellent as always. The leeks are a must, and the mushroom fricassee, french onion soup, and salmon were all excellent. One of our favorite places for a casual meal of excellent quality and great service.
