• Mediterranean • Presidio
Booked 76 times today
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.

62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

Che Fico, is a California Italian restaurant from Chefs David Nayfeld and Matt Brewer in San Francisco's NOPA neighborhood. The food focuses on Italian cuisine through the lens of California. It’s our vision of Northern California as if it is a region in Italy, our connection to the region, and our love for Italian culinary practices. The rustic, market-driven menu features handmade pasta, pizzas, antipasti, housemade salumi, meat, and fish plus dishes from the Jewish-Roman heritage known as “Cucina Ebraica.” The beverage program focuses heavily on both Italian and Californian wines with a cocktail program that utilizes a variety of spirits, amaros, and seasonal ingredients.

    Was super amazing as always, but we didn’t get any Yorkshire pudding! We didn’t realize until we were pretty much done eating so we didn’t ask about it, but big bummer because it’s my husbands favorite part! Otherwise; great experience and the food was amazing

    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!

    A truly unique experience, it fully deserves the high ratings. The only downside I did not feel I’m eating at an elegant and high end place even though it’s priced as on. I highly recommend my friends to try this

    A small and kicky Cantonese fusion restaurant in Chinatown. A bit difficult to get an earlier dinner reservation but well worth it. Claypot rice and pig head chili cold appetiser are amazing.
