Terzo is a gem. It has the feel of a small brasserie with elegant, sophisticated design. The wait staff is always friendly but not obtrusive. You can make a meal if the starters. I recommend the hummus. My entree if steeled was perfect.

About the restaurant

Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

Sonoma

About the restaurant

Nestled among the historic buildings surrounding Sonoma's iconic plaza, LaSalette Restaurant has earned its reputation as one of Sonoma Valley's favorite dining destinations since its inception in 1998. Chef Manuel Azevedo's signature Cozinha Nova Portuguesa ("New Portuguese Cuisine") celebrates the diverse and complex flavors of his native Portugal while adapting them to the bounty of top-quality ingredients found in California. The result is a distinctive cuisine that blends familiar Southern European comfort foods, exotic seasonings inspired by Portugal's centuries of global exploration, and fresh, seasonal Californian produce. As the continued success of LaSalette demonstrates, this fusion is a winning combination for lovers of traditional Portuguese fare and adventurous gourmets alike.

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.

Consistently one of my favorite spots. The service is always outstanding - attentive, efficient, and welcoming. The food is delicious; high quality, generous quantity, beautiful presentation. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, though it can get a bit loud.
