Beautiful Modern Mediterranean restaurant by Chefs Laura and Sayat (Star Chefs and San Francisco Chronicle Rising Stars) at the Main Parade Lawn in the heart of the Presidio National Park. The restaurant's menus feature Presidio-inspired seasonal craft cocktails, a progressive wine menu, and a cuisine that balances the comfort of familiar Mediterranean flavors with California sensibilities.

In cohesion with the Presidio National Park, the design features soft, natural colors; repurposed furniture items from the Presidio; and a mural and a hand-drawn wall paper by Bay Area artist Emily Parkinson. Diners can enjoy a patio with a view of Alcatraz; an intimate private dining room; a lofty main dining room surrounded by windows on two sides; a cozy bar that is a local favorite; and an open-concept kitchen counter with counter seats and high tables.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Laura and Sayat

From the OpenTable editors: This Presidio restaurant—where the food is just as stunning as the Bay views—is founders Laura and Sayat Ozyilmaz love letter to the Eastern Mediterranean. The menu is meant for sharing; the fluffy pitas are a must-order with hummus and muhammara. Better still, go for the chef's menu, so you can get the best of Dalida's juicy kebabs and seafood that landed it a spot on Esquire's Best New Restaurants list.

    It was a dress up date with my husband. It’s a great location and our table was fine although it was too noisy for comfortable conversation. We’ve been there several times before and this is the first time that our server was terse, and it was still early evening. The food was uneven. We were both disappointed in our entrees and a lackluster side dish. Two items from the Garden menu were delicious. We won’t hurry back.

    The sharing plates were large enough for 3 older women-Probly not for 3 young men. The food was delicious and good value The wine list was extensive but expensive. To be fair maybe I’m use to neighborhood prices. The service was excellent. I’d go back.

    I have been raving about Dalida to my husband since I went with a friend. We celebrated our anniversary here and Anthony was an amazing server. He gave great recommendations. We celebrated our anniversary and they poured us champagne upon arrival and ended the night with house made wine. The food is unlike anything I have ever had and some of the most flavorful And unique dishes! Run don’t walk to get a reservation and dine here! The chefs counter experience was excellent!

    Food and service were excellent. Lunch: We had Breaking bread (pita with about 6 spreads-don't miss that.) Spring tabouleh which was so unique and much better than what you usually get at mediterranean restaurants. Excellent flavor and texture. Criapy lamb riblets. a stuffed onion dolma which was fantastic. the only dish we were not crazy about was the turkish lamb dumplings in a tomato sauce. Service was impeccable and friendly. Highly recommend this and eat family style so you can taste alot.

    When we arrived for our reservation at 5:30pm two people in our party was running late due to traffic. The hostess was concerned because they had a 2nd seating (at 8:15pm). The waitress wanted us to order even though our 2 other guests have not arrived. She was concerned about the 2nd seating and mentioned it a couple of times This did not bode well for first impression at this restaurant. On top of that they automatically added 20% gratuity to our check. We all felt the service we received was not worthy of 20%.
