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.

The service was great and most of the food was very good. Salmon and crab cakes, fettuccini excellent, as were the lobster ravioli. The halibut however was a bit dry and bland this evening. They only serve wine and beer, although they had some quite nice selections there. The dining room is rather small, brightly lit and very simple, almost diner-like. The value was very good for the money. I would likely return.
