Dalida

I visited this restaurant specifically to try the octopus, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations. However, I was thoroughly impressed by the rest of the food. The lively and inviting atmosphere, coupled with the incredibly friendly and attentive servers, made for a pleasant dining experience. My favorite dishes were the Kayseri Manti and the Arayes Kebab.

Wow, what a treat! This place is absolutely amazing. The location and the ambiance is difficult to compete... In the middle of Presidio, this fantastic parc. The. The food is just exceptional. I love middle eastern food, but I must say I was so impressed but those dishes I never experienced before. And of course the staff was really nice. We had a wonderful time for our family celebration.

Excellent date-night spot near the Presidio. We walked in early and sat at the bar, which ended up being perfect. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome as visitors from Brazil, and Mars took excellent care of us. She explained the whole menu from memory, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made ordering much easier. We were looking for a lighter, lower-carb dinner and the menu worked really well for that. The octopus was a perfect starter, especially with the excellent in-house salt crackers. The oysters were fresh and beautifully served, and the duck dolma was memorable. Everything felt thoughtful, flavorful, and easy to share. The room is beautiful without feeling overly formal, the service was great, and we finished with a very good espresso at the end. Walking back through the Presidio afterward made the night even better. Highly recommended.

Went for brunch, sat by the kitchen table. Delightful food - the pita and dips were amazing (always a fan of the muhammara and smoked yogurt), fluffy and amazing pita, great egg dishes also. Staff was warm and friendly - the chef let us try a gazpacho from the dinner tasting menu (so fresh and seasonal and every ingredient came through). Ended with a great dessert that was like a very elevated s'more. I've also previously been here for dinner, and dinner here is even better! Such an amazing set of flavors, great seasonal ingredients, and so much care into every dish!

Presidio’s hidden gem for Modern Mediterranean dining Dalida exceeded every expectation for our date night. The mezze spread, fresh bread, hummus, yogurt and olive spreads. set the tone perfectly, followed by a stunning octopus carpaccio and melt-in-your-mouth lamb chops over hummus with fragrant saffron rice. The cocktails are creative and refined, don’t skip the Fig Negroni or the Saturnalia. We finished with a layered baklava and goat cheese ice cream that was simply perfect. The open kitchen makes the whole experience feel alive and dynamic. If you’re looking for a memorable date night or special occasion restaurant in San Francisco, Dalida is the answer. Highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
