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.

Wayfare Tavern is a truly unparalleled dining experience translated from a century ago. Photo: John Lee.

adequate number of choices for starter and main courses. Service was good. The environment is lovely -- Julia Morgan architecture building, high ceilings, noise was well controlled even though the dining room was full.

Excellent dining experience in all respects! Server seemed overwhelmed and was perhaps given too many tables to take care of. Other wait staff gladly pitched in to help
