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.

Had dinner at NBR with 4 friends. We loved the experience. From the moment we checked in for our table until we left the service was excellent - attentive, professional , and helpful. We had a couple starters that were good - burrata and calamari. Two of us had the puttanesca, and others had the linguini e vongole, ravioli and sole. Mains were excellent. Great wine menu. We loved the overall feel of the evening ad will definitely go back.
