We celebrated our anniversary at Kokkari Estiatorio in San Francisco and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with romantic lighting that made the evening special. My husband ordered the lamb chops, and I had the lamb shank, both were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, and the hospitality made the evening even more enjoyable.

An elegant, bustling spot with various seating areas—private rooms, armchairs, tables, a bar, and more—ensuring there’s a space for everyone. The service is attentive and efficient, and the food is very tasty; although some dishes sound a bit more sophisticated than they actually are, the place is 100% recommended. We didn’t need a reservation, though that may depend on the day and time—it’s worth checking ahead.

Best s&p Dungeness crab anywhere, period. Wish I could finish it all in one sitting. Brought it home, popped in airfryer and batter is still delicious.

Food was delicious. Servers were pleasant and continuously checked on you to remove used plates to maintain cleanliness. Food came out quickly as well after ordering. Fortune cookies look to be homemade as they offered a nice crunch to them compared to the packaged ones. Tea served with the meal

Who serves peking duck with bones in it? Everything else was fine but largely unexceptional.

Eric was amazing! We popped in for a quick drink and we ended up staying for 2 rounds of drinks and snacks! We took his suggestions in wings and dumplings and they did not disappoint! Cocktails were tasty as well:) thank you Eric for the end to a perfect day in the city!!!

It was kinda worth the reservation. Food and service were exceptional. Waiter AJ gave good recommendations and was always nearby. Especially good was the wood fire pizza and the pasta. Sit outside. Inside looks crowded and complicated. Some annoyances: the outside manager or maître d’, whatever you call him, was a nice guy, but annoying. Let people eat and leave them alone. Guy was overly friendly to the point of being obnoxious. If you like wine just bring a bottle. Their wine by the glass was an expensive under pour ripoff. Should have been called wine by the tablespoon. Their wine by the bottle was in the mid to high 100's. So BYOB or drink soda. And their sparkling water also a ripoff. It comes out of a tap not bottle and they charge you. Other than that I would go back. Just look at the menu online and decide what you like before getting therebecause you’ll get a bill that’s double if you just show up. Waymo is easy to get.

Not great. Even for American Chinese food.

Ordered through DoorDash. They delayed the order, and then packed / sent the wrong order entirely. Different customer name even. But the worst part of how unapologetic and rude the hostess is when I called to ask about a redelivery. Not a word of care. Abysmal. I expect more from China Live.

Picture sitting on the San Francisco Bay watching the Sun go down and then the Baybridge light up. Then add fantastic food good wines had a great price. And then add killer service that is entirely on it in the person of JC. The oysters are on point. Have the chowder.
