Kokkari Estiatorio Business Overview
Edit InfoCompany Information: 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.

User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThe food is amazing, I have never had a bad dish.The service is consistently great.
User Rating: 2 out of 5 starsAs someone who is 100% Greek, I have to say I wasn't impressed with this restaurant. And yes, I know the saying "Nothing is better than Mom's cooking", but nevertheless I am still very willing to eat Greek food out considering that Mom lives thousands of miles away. In all honesty the appetizers were actually quite good, what didn't impress me were their main entrees. I really enjoyed the gigantes, saganaki, melizanosalata and favosalata. The subpar entree I tried was Makaronia me Horta, which was ravioli stuffed with greens, feta and corn. First of all, ravioli isn't Greek, at least the last time I checked. Secondly, no where in Greece will you find a dish that contains sweet corn. Corn is not a staple to Greek cuisine. It seems that they trying too much to "Californiafy" Greek cuisine and the end result is something that is neither Californian nor truly Greek. I don't understand why most restaurants don't strive to be as authentic as possible. The most authentic Greek food I have had to date in the US has been in New York.
User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsGood food but $$$$$: If you don't mind the $$$$$ then this place has great Greek food, definitely worthwhile checking out for that special dinner. The restaurant features a nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
