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.

    Besides the food being delicious and nice ambiance,it was reasonably priced. Also, the service was excellent. I loved the breaded eggs and the dessert with meringue. Definitely worth a visit. I will go again.

    The food here is a fascinating eclectic version of Mediterranean food different from what we have had before. Sauces are especially good combining savory and sweet. The Tabouleh was delicious as were the Cypriot Lamb chops. Chubby pita a great vehicle for hummous , Muhammara and Smokey yogurt. we will be back to try all the other intriguing dishes on the menu.

    I would say last night’s dining experience was a cheers and jeers experience. The jeers part was the staff is efficient, however, not friendly. Our server, bus person both cold. The seasonal vegetables plate was some sort of root and not particularly flavorful. The cheers part was there is one friendly staff, lady, grey short hair, glasses, host who is always nice. The octopus, lamb and bread, all delicious.

    Seated at the “Chef’s table / counter” allowed us to watch a well choreographed team prepare several menu items for various guests including our order. The assistance with the wine pairing added to the experience. Looking forward to our next time!!

    The dinner was delicious. The wait staff was attentive but not invasive. It is a little noisy. We enjoyed celebrating my birthday there.

    Excellent service and delicious food! We thought that the portions were a bit small for a "sharing" meal (other than the large entrees), but we enjoyed it all the same. We will be back for sure!

    Unfortunately, this restaurant came highly recommended by various reviewers. Yet, our experience was disappointing. The restaurant was loud, very loud. The server seemed aggravated by our questions regarding the menu. This was our first time eating there. The restaurant didn’t carry certain high end spirits, which was okay. However, the waiter seemed to take offense when he had to deliver the news that the restaurant didn’t carry the brand we had hoped for. My husbands fish (the cod) was raw on the inside. My chicken was cold by the time it reached the table. The portion sizes are not family style, and should be described as tapas, instead. The serving portions for the sauces were small for four people to share. We were shocked that our dinner, mediocre at best, amounted to $600.00 for four people. We split meals, which was suggested to us. The experience wasn’t great. I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant, and we most certainly wouldn’t return.

    We took our daughter's family (two grand girls) to Dalida for a Christmas dinner celebration. It was outstanding. The food was excellent (octopus & sujuk appetizer, breaking bread/awesome, anatolian erishte, lamb shoulder and a few other dishes). Our waiter and the wine steward were both attentive and had very good suggestions for food and wine. We might make this our annual christmas outing! Loved it.
