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.

    Today's experience was great! Antonio's service was excellent. My husband was there 2 weeks ago on Jan 15, 2025. He says the service and the food was completely different from why was served on that day. He doesn't remember the server. There were a party of 9 and they were there to celebrate a birthday. The server did not asked if they were doing any celebrations, the food portion was small when he compared it with the house cut he had today. He doesn't understand why there's such a hugh discrepancy in service and food portion when he compared it from 2 weeks ago. They sat in the main dining room. Today's dining was all around excellent.

    My recent dinner at Harris was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The server was incredibly knowledgeable, recommending the perfect cut of meat paired with an exceptional wine and beer selection. The service throughout the evening was top-notch, and the bus staff were just as attentive and efficient. Everything came together to create a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality food and excellent service.

    I’ll admit it was pretty difficult to get a reservation as they are booked quite a ways out. I’m so pleased I kept trying and got a spot on a Monday. So much attention to detail with the food and drinks! Absolutely delicious. The portions are quite generous. Flora, our server, was a delight. We will definitely be back!
