   We sat at a two person table near the front door. Every time the door opened, we could feel a rush of cold air. We had to keep our jackets on. Also, the hostess at the front door last night, not great. She let us stand there for at least a minute with no greeting while she was talking to another host. All it takes is, “Good Evening, we will be right with you”. On the other hand, our food was delicious and our server, Nica was great.

   Always a great evening at Kokkari. The food was spectacular and the service was attentive and helpful. Our request to sit in the front room was graciously accommodated. Many thanks to the lovely hostess! Highly recommend!

   My son took me here for my name day, and I’ve been here many times before and usually receive great service, but my experience last night was unfortunately not up to par. The server was apathetic and then seemed annoyed when I asked for bread with my saganaki. It took a while for him to bring it. Additionally, the souvlaki was cold when it arrived. I didn’t want to make a scene, especially with my son there, but I can’t help but wonder if the quality of this place is starting to decline.

   As 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.

   Service could not have been better, food is always excellent but, like many places in this City, cost is becoming excessive!

   Truly outstanding service (can not say enough about our waiter) and wonderful ambience like a party with friends at a home in the country. Food was mostly amazing especially the grilled whole sea bass and the lamb chops both as good as it gets; rotisserie lamb was a disappointment being dry and gamey although the roasted potatoes that came with the drippings were delicious; nice cozy bar area with a few unique very good cocktails and full call selection of liquors; good wine selection including reserve wines; we had a 2013 Napa Cab that was bold and complex with softened tannins that everyone enjoyed and an incredible bargain at $125. Will definitely be back soon!

   While I did not find this restaurant until 2001, they have never let me down. The services, the food, the experience has always, and was on New Years Eve just amazing! Enjoyed the meal with dear friends. Thank you Stephen for being such a great waiter too!
