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.

    We had a horrendous experience with two host personnel and then sporadic service from our waiter. Waiter was friendly but unprofessional and not helpful. While we were waiting for our table for a 5:00 reservation we overheard additional guests being mistreated. It’s been a while since we have experienced such terrible service from staff. The food was delicious. Can we skip the people and just get takeout in the future? Kidding. Won’t be returning!

    The food is delicious and creative,not the usual predictable far. The chef owner is from Turkey. The breaking of bread appetizer with various Turkish spread like hummus, smoked red pepper compote, olives and pickled vegetables was such fun to share. I had the Anatolian pasta dish with mushrooms, hazelnuts and winter squash while my friend had lamb ribs.

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and ambiance at Dalida. Starting with Breaking Bread and Little Gems could have been a simple meal in itself but we enjoyed the Aleppo Half Chicken and Duroc Pork Cheek Souvlaki. We sat at the countertop in the kitchen area and enjoyed watching the sous chefs perform their magic. Will definitely plan another enjoyable experience at Dalida.

    Good food but noisy. Wasn’t that busy but glasses sat empty, got our food sans silverware. Maybe they’re still in shakedown mode? Also, read the drink menu before you order, they have a different take on standard cocktails.

    Amazing food, very mediocre service. Waiter spilled ice over my pants, and another waiter forgot to bring us our coffee and instead of bringing it after noticing, they just delivered us the bill. Not acceptable.

    We had an amazing brunch at Dalida, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely delicious, starting with their pita bread, which was perfectly baked—aromatic, soft, and simply delightful. The burger was not your traditional burger; it had a creative twist that made it truly stand out. The highlight of our meal, however, was the dessert. We tried the Layered Baklava, a masterpiece blending the essence of a classic Napoleon pastry with a Middle Eastern touch. It was topped with a generous sprinkle of crushed pistachios, paired with fresh cream and raspberry sauce underneath. The layers of texture and flavor created an explosion of richness, and the presentation was visually stunning. Beyond the food, the ambiance of Dalida is what sets it apart. The cozy yet chic atmosphere makes it an excellent choice for a date or a special occasion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique dining experience!
