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.

The floor staff needs to be trained in the proper etiquette of serving. We ordered three courses and our next course would be served before our plates were cleared from the prior course. Ordered a glass of champagne and the waiter forgot the order. Arrived early before my dinner date and sat at the bar while three bartenders chatted among themselves - 10 minutes passed before they thought of asking me if I would care to have a drink. I was the only one sitting at one if the 10 place settings. I have grown up working in restaurants, my brothers are classically trained chefs and I have worked, traveled and eaten all over the world. The only person on the floor that truly cares and was a professional was a man named Jeffrey - wearing his hip white framed glasses. Who ever manages the floor staff should be replaced. The food can be incredibly but it is no substitute for poor service. I observed the same unprofessional service to the other diners around me, so the poor service is systemic.

This was first time my wife and I ate at Dalida, and we were not disappointed. The food is meant to be shared so going with a larger group will give you the chance to try more dishes. We started with fresh oysters, and then had the Fattoush salad (beets and persimmons) and the "Braking Bread". We then shared the Anatollan Erishte (Turkish noodles with mushrooms) and the Kayseri Manti (lamb dumplings). Every dish was excellent. The pace of the meal was wonderful and the atmosphere was delightful. They have a very extensive wine list and all price points both by the glass and full bottles. I was interested in some southern European wines I have never heard of and our server gave excellent descriptions. I was not disappointed with my choice. Our server was wonderful, knowledgeable, and gave us great service from when we were seated to when we paid at the end of the meal. I am already looking forward to a future visit.

There were many innovative dishes on the menu and everything we had was prepared well and delicious. I will go back, although the prices seemed a little high. Because of the price, I won’t go often.

This meal was our Thanksgiving Family Holiday that Dalida made so fun and special. Sitting at the lounge table in comfortable couches is so fun and hip! The food was delicious! The service is amazing with attentive, professional, and educational servers. Thank you so much for making such a memorable Holiday experience!
