Power diners and sophisticated restaurant-goers come to the Financial District's Kokkari for delicious contemporary Greek cuisine. The upscale taverna, named after a fishing village on an island in the Aegean Sea, spreads its old-world charm among several large rooms. The rustic front dining room features overstuffed sofas and chairs, a large fireplace, wood-plank flooring, and high ceilings. The rear room, more of an elegant, oversized taverna, has a long wood community table in front of the kitchen and nicely spaced tables and booths throughout the room. Greek classics like freshly baked pita bread, moussaka, grilled lamb chops, and baklava fill the menu, along with a varied selection of Greek brandy, ouzo, and grappa.
