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.

    Chubby pita was amazing. Other items my group tried were good, but not as amazing as I was expecting. For example the lamb shoulder wasn't as tender/moist as I would have wanted it to be. Something felt off about the Tahdig. Perhaps my expectations were too high. It was still an enjoyable experience, but definitely on the pricier side.

    We were disappointed after watching check please on PBS as we expected exceptional food and service. Unfortunately our server may have been having a bad day. Our food was good but as we asked about possible modification or substitutions to entrees we were told no modifications could be made. Desserts were very good.

    We came here previously for lunch and enjoyed the food, without being "wowed." The location is so fantastic, and the rooms is lovely, so we came again, this time for Sunday brunch. The food was just terrible! Poorly conceived and executed dishes all around. No one at our table of six had a meal they were excited about. Several picked through their dishes, eating a bit here and there, and leaving the rest untouched. My own selection, eggs on top of greens with a sauce, was all wrong. So few greens I could hardly find them. Eggs undercooked with clear jelly-like egg whites and barely warm yolks. Smothered in a creamy sauce with no flavor. All of this lukewarm. We had shared appetizers that were tiny portions of dips, condiments, and pickles. There were six of us, and we were served just two falafels to share. Seemed like the olives had been counted out one by one, so not too many were provided. Only a few of the items were good; the rest were left mostly untouched. Our waiter was rude and we felt rushed. At one point I asked him if he was waiting for our table for another party, because he kept pressuring us . We brought friends from out of town. They picked up the tab. We were embarrassed.

    Love the place. Just the kind of place I like to go to except when trying to catch up with good friend from Italy. The noise level just didn't allow for us to easily. converse and the reunion was flat I really like the food so would go back with my noisy friends to try more of the menu.

    Just a wonderful experience! Phenomenal food and I loved how our waitress very much watched the timing of food being brought out. That added attention was phenomenal

    Absolutely delicious. There is a reason this is one of the hardest tables to come by in San Francisco.
