Greek restaurants are generally predictably good just based on the cuisines and the popular dishes. It's hard to excel however. Kokkari really excels and seems to have been doing so for a long time. Reservations essential. Easy walk from the Hyatt Embarcadero. Neighborhood seems safe.
Definitely the place to people watch. The spinach pie was delicious. The proteins were a disappointment. Next time I travel to San Francisco, I will try a different restaurant.

We had a memorable experience. Our server Helen was delightfully knowledgable and attentive, and all the staff were personable and helpful. We have never had better octopus, and didn't realize how tender it could be. The goat stew was an aromatic comfort, and everyone was...More
