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.

The beverage menu features locally-sourced wines including a selection of Florence's own label, quality draft beers and organic root beer as well as classic Victorian-era cocktails.All three floors of the restaurant have been designed keeping historical accuracy in mind making Wayfare Tavern reminiscent of a Victorian parlor and an Edwardian men's club, where anything goes from black-tie to blue jeans.

Komaaj is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a very long time. From the service to the food and ambience, everything was amazing! Our server was very knowledgeable about the food and ingredients as well as giving us great wine pairing recommendations for our meal. The food is just incredible with so much flavor and uniqueness. Every single bite we took was a fantastic experience and we cannot wait to go back! I have heard the weekend brunch is a MUST try so I can’t wait to go back soon!!!! 5 stars for food and customer service all the way!

We where not disappointed, this place is great starting from the unique art to the warm Service and amazing food. My mom had the pumpkin soup and I tried the Borsh (it was so so good) we also tried the crab cakes and the mini blini yummm. My kids loved the soups and also had the Peruvian wings which where perfect

An excellent experience all around. We sat on the patio with the heaters and were comfortable the whole time. The chickpea hummus was excellent, as were the blistered peppers. For man courses, we had the track of lamb and the scallops. It's so nice to have lamb in a restaurant that understands how to prepare lamb. Mine was seared on the outside and juicy rare as I ordered it- absolutely perfect. The scallops were prepared beautifully and tasted great. The staff was attentive without hovering. We'll definitely be back!
