Kokkari Estiatorio

Mediterranean

Financial District / Embarcadero

About the restaurant

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.

About the restaurant

Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

Had a celebration holiday lunch. The meal started out fine, but we got there when they opened. As the restaurant began to fill our server got pretty slammed and they clearly were understaffed. No water refills or any service except providing the food. The food was delicious though.

Palo Alto

About the restaurant

"Welcome to our home. Meyhouse is a casual place where family and friends get together over a drink, mezes, unique seafood, and grilled delicacies.
Our philosophy is unique in many ways. We have an ingredient first approach, which means we handle ingredients as minimally as possible through the cooking process. We source the highest quality ingredients we can find and let them shine. Our recipes are as authentic as possible, no sous vide or modernist cuisine can be found here."

It was impossible to have a conversation for our group of 6. We sat in the middle of the space (dinner) and it was super loud.

The food and service are always excellent. Parking can be challenging since the city of Alameda messed up Clement Ave, but there is a parking lot if you can get a spot in it.

Nob Hill

About the restaurant

Opened in 2010, Dunyā is designed and created by chef & owner Coskun Abik. Dunyā Restaurant has garnered local acclaim as a Mediterranean casual dining experience touched by the fusion of refined urban technique and culturally traditional flavors.

Offering fare inspired by fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, Dunyā brings this same delicate balance to a new era of vibrant Mediterranean dishes in an industrial chic setting located in the heart of San Francisco’s Nob Hill District.

The décor captures the warmth and feel of Mediterranean hospitality, while a vast floor to ceiling array of local and imported wine bottles is illuminated by blown glass filament pendants, inviting guests to pull up a chair to the full service wine bar.

Sonoma

About the restaurant

Nestled among the historic buildings surrounding Sonoma's iconic plaza, LaSalette Restaurant has earned its reputation as one of Sonoma Valley's favorite dining destinations since its inception in 1998. Chef Manuel Azevedo's signature Cozinha Nova Portuguesa ("New Portuguese Cuisine") celebrates the diverse and complex flavors of his native Portugal while adapting them to the bounty of top-quality ingredients found in California. The result is a distinctive cuisine that blends familiar Southern European comfort foods, exotic seasonings inspired by Portugal's centuries of global exploration, and fresh, seasonal Californian produce. As the continued success of LaSalette demonstrates, this fusion is a winning combination for lovers of traditional Portuguese fare and adventurous gourmets alike.

Wife and I have been dining across Napa/Sonoma for past dozen years and have enjoyed La Salette about 30 times. Obviously, we have been highly pleased. Today's mid-day lunch was as good as we have experienced. It exceeded our expectations!!
