• Mediterranean • Financial District / Embarcadero
Booked 93 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.

    Honestly I was a little nervous about dining here given the flood of negative reviews I've seen during its opening days. Luckily it looks like they're on track towards working the operational details out as I had a fantastic dining experience here. I came here on Tuesday at 5pm and was greeted by staff and seated quickly. We ordered a la carte and the food and banchans were brought out extremely quick upon ordering (almost too quick as everything came out all at once, including the appetizer. That's the only critique). Given the price point ($20-30 per appetizer/entree), I was extremely impressed by the beautiful presentation of the food, it sure looked like it was prepared by a michelin starred chef. I particularly enjoyed the buckwheat noodle and blue crab cabbage, it was extremely flavorful and creative - they definitely do refreshing and lighter dishes really well! We also had the bulgolgi rice bowl and seafood jiggae, which were good but not particularly special when compared to other traditional korean restaurants. The bulgogi was well marinated but a tad bit too dry. The servers were extremely attentive and checked in with us, giving us water refills every now and then, very excellent service! I also really enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant, it was just a nice place to chill and relax after a chaotic shopping experience. The whole experience felt quite upscale but the price point was decently affordable (by no means cheap but for bay area it's quite bang for buck), I am not exactly sure how they're able to profit from this. I would absolutely return for their buckwheat noodles and look forward to trying the rest of the menu!! I urge you to give them a chance as it looks like they're doing their best to improve the restaurant.
