It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a two-week window.
Kokkari Estiatorio has run on the Embarcadero since 1998 as San Francisco's defining Greek dining room, with a wood-fire rotisserie, a long dining room, and a menu that pulls from coastal and mainland Greece. The room sits inside SF's secondary-market top 30.
OpenTable opens two weeks ahead. Weekend prime tables clear first; weeknights and the late seatings stay open longer. The bar takes walk-ins for the full menu.
