- MMichelleSan Francisco Bay Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoPerfect dinner - delicious pasta, fish and burger meals thoroughly enjoyed by our party of 3. The service by our waiter Dickie was professional, delightful, attentive with fun humor too. His back up crew was efficient in serving as well as clearing. We had a most enjoyable evening at this great old time San Francisco restaurant and we look forward to returning hopefully soon.More infoOriginal Joe's - San FranciscoPrice: Moderate• Italian• North Beach•4.7
- GGabrielVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •37 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAs previously dining at the Kokkari was a great experience. Both the "Mezethes" and the entres were well prepared. The grilled whole fish (lavraki) was delicious. If i were to find one shortcoming it would be that the sauce should be more lemony. Also the ravili Greek style were very good with delicious broth. Service attentive and prompt. Great place for lunch or dinner.More infoKokkari EstiatorioPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.9

Always a special treat to celebrate occassions here. Disappointed though they don’t do the complimentary birthday desserts anymore.
