Mediterranean
Top Tags:
Beautiful Modern Mediterranean restaurant by Chefs Laura and Sayat (Star Chefs and San Fransisco 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.

    Gorgeous space with excellent service. Maybe it’s because I loved Noosh so much but I found the food to be just ok. The cauliflower was seasoned in such an overpowering sauce. The chicken was ok but nothing exciting.

    Dined at Dalida for the first time with friends (a party of 5) and we tried the tasting menu and enjoyed a wide variety of dishes, many from the menu plus a couple that weren't. Sayat and Laura visited our table multiple times and were so friendly, taking time to answer the many questions we had about their food and new restaurant. Each dish was wonderfully flavorful and satisfying - standouts were the turbot, the pastas (especially the carob which wasn't on the menu - hopefully it's added!), saffron rice, homemade pita bread (its amazing bread but be careful not to eat too much) with house made pickles (the pickled tomato was amazingly crisp), olives, hummus, and smoked yogurt (yum!), and perfectly crispy shoestring fries with an amazing dip. Dessert included the chocolate muhallebi (wonderfully decadent) and several Maresh style ice creams in tasty flavors. I'm looking forward to visiting again and enjoying so much more. Highly recommend visiting Dalida!

    Went for my birthday, nothing wowed me and the portions were pretty small. I did like the octopus and the manti, but the breaking bread was very tiny and none of the dips blew me away. The burgers were cute. The lamb shoulder was okay and I didn’t care for the mushroom pasta. The tabbouli was decent and my friend raved about the stuffed cabbage. I thought the tart was good but didn’t care for the tres leche cake. Waitress told us we ordered too much food so we canceled two dishes but I think the portions were too small and we needed the two other dishes. It’s very pretty but very loud. I liked the tamarind non-alcoholic drink as well. I wouldn’t visit again since I didn’t love the food and it’s a bit of a trek to get to.

    Amazeballs. The martini lives up to the hype. The food is layered with creative flavor combos. Try the chef’s tasting menu if your budget allows. A bit of everything. No duds.

    Somewhat spare interior.. free of any wall art. Very interesting menu choices served by less than enthusiastic waitress. We were served caffeinated coffee when decaf was ordered. My wife’s birthday was ignored as well. Might go again as food is quite good. No coffee next time though

    Excellent food, next time will be seated in kitchen area to see food prepared. Felt a bit rushed during meal (e.g., apps arrived before cocktails, kept having to put unfinished food on plates as they cleared, serving utensils not always arriving with plates) but our server was excellent.

    The cocktails are great and the appetizers were tasty. The pasta was luke warm and fairly bland. The French fries were wonderful the lamb shoulder was in a really bad mushy sauce -did not enjoy the flavors at all. Waste of $50+. overall the main entrees were not great. We skipped dessert. It's a decent restaurant that is trying to be a high end but its very basic food. They should open the bar to just cocktails and appetizers because that is the best part of menu.

    Molly -- We made an attempt to connect your review to the bill to identify the credit card and make a refund there. I think it'll be much simpler if I just venmo the funds to you. My name is Sayat and I'm the owner. You can find me under @sayatozyilmaz on venmo if it isn't too much trouble. Otherwise, if you tell me the last four of your credit card, I'll go and see if I can return the funds but we haven't had to do this with this much of a lag. And also, thanks for your patience.

    We had a wonderful time at Dalida. I had been waitlisting us on OpenTable and we got lucky this past Saturday night. The food is the star here- everything was delicious and felt original. We had the sampler of hummus and labneh and pickled vegetables with fresh pita. Definitely the best pita and hummus we have had in SF. The artichokes with dill and feta and citrus were refreshing and light. The lamb chops stood out as the best part of the meal; amazing spices and texture. And the saffron rice on the side was a good staple with crunch. There was also a great Tempranillo by the glass that paired well with our food. We are looking forward to coming back in summer when we can enjoy the beautiful light in the presidio and eat on the terrace and try more of the dishes. The main dining room is very lively- but decor is underwhelming compared with everything else (a very uncomfortable and deep bench seat is my only complaint).

    Came here for my brothers birthday. Made a couple of birthday requests on OpenTable while making the reservations. I was contacted by an employee of Dalida and they ensured that all my requests we fulfilled. The food was delicious. Birthday boy was super surprised and delighted:) Thank you team Dalida! I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can get a reservation!
