The Scene – Sunlight pours through open picture windows while tan walls and high ceilings keep the space feeling breezy on any occasion. The front room sports a full-service bar; the back room's exhibition kitchen is flanked by a 20-foot chef's table and cauldron heating Greek coffees. Many of the tie-and-slacks-clad servers speak with authentic accents and are friendly without being intrusive. – – The Food – Contemporary Hellenic dishes comprise the straightforward menu. True to tradition, lamb is a specialty--like finger-ready riblets drizzled with lemon, oregano and…
Editor's Tips
- Where to Sit:
- This place is great for large groups. There are round tables in the main dining room and two private rooms.
- What to Drink:
- Wines from mostly Greece and California are available. Frothy iced coffees pack a caffeinated punch.
- Parking:
- Opt for valet service if you can't find a metered space on the surrounding blocks (available for $8 after 5pm).

Kind of Greek, mostly not
by Kuryakin at Citysearch
While this place has Greek sounding offerings, it is really not authentic Greek cusine. A good example of this - there are no Greek wines offered, amazing! I am from a city that has a large Greek community and I know what Greek food should be. This isn't it. Nice decor and a trendy setting, but I went there expecting more based on reviews, but I was dissappointed in the food, service, and prices. This place is way too popular for some unknown reason and the waiters are way too busy. They got my entree completely wrong - chicken and potatoes instead of lamb and soup! Made up for it by free dessert. Overall - a currently trendy place, but it's not at all close to what Greeks would recognize as their style.

Amazing Greek cuisine
by MelSF , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch
I am not a fan of Greek food, but I loved Kokkari. Their chicken skewers with yogurt were perfectly cooked and their pita bread and hummus was the best I have ever had. I love their large fireplace where they roast the daily specials right in front of you!

Usually Fantastic
by danlouise at Citysearch
We usually LOVE everything about this restaurant, they do a fantastic job with the food and the atmosphere is amazing. We went a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday and really felt rushed. Our appetizers came out within 5 minutes of ordering and our entrees came the second we put our forks down from the appetizers. We literally could have been in and out of the restaurant with drinks and dessert in 40 minutes. This is the first time we have felt this rushed and I hope it is the last.
- Pros: Great food and Ambience
- Cons: Service was rushed
