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.

This is the second time visiting Fable and both times have been good. The small tables directly next to the “Forest” are a little close together. When I was seated, already pretty close to my table, another diner got frustrated with the space available for their chair at the table behind me. When I tried to get up to leave; it was pretty tight with not much space. Food was delicious and cocktails are good during brunch. Have not been for dinner.
