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.

Chef Tyler Florence brings his passion for high quality and style to San Francisco with his new flagship restaurant, Wayfare Tavern. A classic San Francisco Tavern featuring authentic American dishes inspired by local cuisine at the turn of the 20th century, the menu ranges from classic comforts to rustic delicacies. The beverage menu features locally-sourced wines including a selection of Florence's own label, quality draft beers and organic root beer as well as classic Victorian-era cocktails.All three floors of the restaurant have been designed keeping historical accuracy in mind making Wayfare Tavern reminiscent of a Victorian parlor and an Edwardian men's club, where anything goes from black-tie to blue jeans. Pull up a stool to the Chef's Counter at the open kitchen and look on as Chef prepares your lunch or head to the Library and Billiard Room for a game of pool. Wayfare Tavern is a truly unparalleled dining experience translated from a century ago. Photo: John Lee.

    We absolutely love the flavors and food presentation at FC. It's a fun spot, especially with the casual outdoor seating. The selection of international wines is fantastic. If you're coming with a large group, you're sure to have a great time. We've had many memorable family dinners here and always look forward to the next one!

    This was first time my wife and I ate at Dalida, and we were not disappointed. The food is meant to be shared so going with a larger group will give you the chance to try more dishes. We started with fresh oysters, and then had the Fattoush salad (beets and persimmons) and the "Braking Bread". We then shared the Anatollan Erishte (Turkish noodles with mushrooms) and the Kayseri Manti (lamb dumplings). Every dish was excellent. The pace of the meal was wonderful and the atmosphere was delightful. They have a very extensive wine list and all price points both by the glass and full bottles. I was interested in some southern European wines I have never heard of and our server gave excellent descriptions. I was not disappointed with my choice. Our server was wonderful, knowledgeable, and gave us great service from when we were seated to when we paid at the end of the meal. I am already looking forward to a future visit.

    We had the loviest anniversary dinner. The ambiance and service is absolute top tier. We were so spoiled from the welcome at the door to the end of our dining experience. The food is delicious. If we come back to San Francisco, we will definitely visit again.
