I don't think they need another good review, because of its rather high rating. But hey, this one is worthy of my review coz it was that great. No wonder reservations are hard to come by & the lines are usually long when they open the door.

Such a pretty restaurant i was in love with their aesthetics. We were seated pretty close to the entrance by the window, but realized the restaurant is HUGE when we went to the bathroom. The bathroom is downstairs by the private rooms and it looked
Really loved the food here.
The calamari and pork belly were my favorites which were tender and full of flavor. The staff were super informative and kind, and the cozy, mellow ambiance made it even better. Would come back the next time I'm visiting San Francisco!

The restaurant is lovely and the staff are awesome.
This is a big place so it was perfect for our table of 14-16. Our host had selected some very nice appetizers and mains to share. I really loved the hot cheese with lemon spritzed over the top, that was almost a show unto itself. The mains were a
I can see why this joint is hard to get into at night.
We were guests of friends for a celebration. We had a booth for 4, but unfortunately it was near the beverage station in front. This restaurant is loud! Our server was pleasant and astute but could hardly hear her because of the volume. It was packed

I think I need to go back and try their meat / lamb to get full experience cause the vegetarian options were not that great/ flavorful. Favorite was the peach (super juicy and sweet) and burrata but the rest lacked a lot of flavor.

This used to be an amazing place but it's definitely lost something since before covid. Waiters used to take your coat; now you have to drape it over your chair -- at least have some hooks or a coat stand. They used to make suggestions for food

Business trip to the Bay Area
Some business associates took us here for lunch. Service was outstanding as was the food. We had several different appetizers, lunch entrees and desserts. 5 stars Highly recommend.
TABLES FOR TWO: BEWARE!!!!
Kokkari is a fantastic restaurant. The food is superb and the service exemplary. I rated it with 4 stars instead of 5 because of the table I was assigned to. It was a two top separated by a mere 5 inches to the next two top. We felt as if we were act

Disappointed by Lack of Compassion at Kokkari

Fabulous lunch with great food, service and atmosphere.
Tzaziki with fresh bread and chicken souvlaki were delicious. Impeccable, friendly service with attentive free drink refill. Interior with large fireplace with comfortable seating and warm, well lit atmosphere. The great reviews are fully justified,
One of my favorite restaurants in SF.
2 different visits in two different time. Best food best service best people.
Our dining experience was wonderful.
Daniel, our server, was great. He had perfect drink recommendations to pair with our food especially for someone who doesn't know a thing about wines. The food was amazing! The dolma appetizers is heavenly! Give it a try, it's a wonderful place and e

Excellent restaurant, highly recommend it. We had the lamb chops and rib eye steak. Friendly waiter whose fatherโs family came from Louth, Ireland, where we are from.
Delightful, delicious dining experienceโฆ
This incredibly beautiful restaurant was such a yummy treat but having Moises, at the bar, as our expert guide just took it over the top. His food and wine selections were just spot on and always served with his warm demeanor and fabulous smile. Kud
Avoid at all costs
Do not touch this restaurant with a barge pole Food ok Service and manager (William) absolutely abysmal Including stomach upset which we are reporting to the food authorities Go at your own misjudgement ๐๐๐
Donโt waste your time and money
One of the worst restaurants I have had the experience to visit. What a waste of time & money. Food is bland and standards need improving.. The manager, William, is arrogant and insincere .. he displays no authentic customer care skills and is
Connect with users posting reservations for Kokkari Estiatorio San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kokkari Estiatorio San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kokkari Estiatorio San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kokkari Estiatorio San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Kokkari Estiatorio San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kokkari Estiatorio San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
