About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Have dined @ Dalida 3x since they opened. All experiences have been outstanding regarding food, service, and ambiance. It is a very popular heavily booked restaurant. My reservation was made for 2 people for 5:30. I responded to texts confirming my reservation. As everyone is aware, sometimes traffic in SF is unpredictable and delays occur. We arrived 10 minutes after the reservation time.We were greeted with a cold shoulder, not a warm welcome which I would have expected from such a high quality prestigious establishment. We were reminded of the time when we would have to leave before we were seated. Being a frequent diner, I am quite aware of time limits for a table and are respectful of that. Am also aware of the usual grace period for a reservation. This was an unnecessary communication and was presented in the most cold unprofessional manner. The woman who was responsible for this communication needs to learn finesse and use a welcoming tone if the message is necessary. Most restaurants just handle this in a discreet manner by presenting the bill. It did influence my overall assessment. Will inform my diner friends of this snobbish behavior.

    Dalida is so special! We didn’t know what to order, so get got the Chef’s plate. It had a several courses of so many delicacies to try, we loved it. The restaurant was so loud that it detracted from our experience. I felt agitated and anxious to leave, for that I have scored them lower than I would have.

    The food was very good. We expected the atmosphere to be more formal, and since this was a birthday celebration, we were disappointed. I think it's a good place for lunch, or perhaps dinner at the bar or chef's table which seemed a bit more upscale than the main dining room.

    We love the food......so unique and delicious.......a true taste of the Mediterranean. The room is lovely and service is attentive and well informed. A "must stop" every time we visit the Bay Area.

    The bread will change your life. We keep returning for the bread and then branching out to the other dishes!

    We have previously enjoyed lunches at Dalida in the Presidio. The interior is very attractive but this time the noise level was way beyond energetic to the point of being very LOUD. We had hoped to enjoy conversation with old friends we had not seen in a long time. But the hard surfaces near our corner table along with very noisy people at the next table made this very difficult. Even though there were many empty tables in the center of the restaurant (where we had been seated during the other visits) when I asked the host if we could move, she said there were no other tables available. The food was very good as usual: Breaking Bread, Oysters, lamb kebab, Fattoush salad and ice cream. The server was also very good. My husband and I might return but only if it is just the two of us.
