Frommer's "The funny thing is, I've been to Athens, and the food there wasn't nearly as good as what they're serving at Kokkari (Ko-kar-ee), one of my favorite restaurants in the city." Full review
Insight Guides "The best place in the city for sophisticated Greek food, this inviting, upscale Greek taverna lures diners to the border of North Beach and the Financial District to feast."
BlackBook "Gorgeous room, rustic and elegant, with burning hearths and big floral arrangements. Friendly, slightly leering waiters add authentic Mediterranean flavor."
DK Eyewitness "The Kokkari serves stylish Greek food in a large, comfortable dining area with dark wood floors and a big, cozy fireplace."
