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.

Amazing dining experience! Chef Lee perfectly embedded some Asian elements into the dish and it makes this mean more special. Spend my anniversary dinner here and the they really care what you need. From the stater to main dish to dessert, this is very few Michelin restaurants that I think every part is almost perfect.

Had an amazing experience last night at Taksim. True to its culture, it indeed blended the old traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern touch by having locally sourced sustainable ingredients. Food is really good! The kitchen is so organized. Our host named Birkan made our dining experience a great one. Very attentive to our needs (not to mention he’s very good looking). I highly recommend this restaurant.
