Booked 147 times today
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.

    From the beginning to the very end of our dining experience, our server Samuel made sure we were completely taken care of. For context, I’m a wedding planner visiting the venue for the first time, so my boyfriend and I came to dine and also familiarize ourselves with the space. I had a floor plan and contract with me, and Samuel noticed them and asked if we were planning an event. From that moment on, he went above and beyond, answering every question we had and making us feel incredibly welcome. To start, we ordered the Focaccia and Schoolyard Bread, both of which were delicious. Samuel also brought us olives that were incredibly flavorful and a wonderful addition to the meal. My boyfriend ordered the Wagyu Bavette. While it was a little more rare than he typically prefers, he said it was so flavorful and well-prepared that he thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the House Tagliatelle, which was absolutely delicious as well. Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying dessert! I ordered the Ice Cream Sundae and my boyfriend had the Affogato—both were the perfect ending to an amazing meal. After dinner, I asked Samuel if it would be possible to take a look around the venue. Not only did he happily say yes, but he made a point to find us later and personally show us the upstairs area where my bride and her family can spend time before the ceremony. He walked us through the space, answered additional questions, and shared helpful insights along the way. I made sure to tell the manager on duty how much we appreciated Samuel’s attentiveness, professionalism, and generosity with his time. I even requested that he work on my client’s wedding day because I know we’ll be in excellent hands. The food was fantastic, the venue is beautiful, and the service was truly exceptional. Thank you, Samuel, for making our visit so memorable! ✨
