The power couple\u2019s restaurant is a <a href=\"https:\/\/sf.eater.com\/2023\/6\/26\/23771725\/dalida-new-mediterranean-restaurant-san-francisco-presidio\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sweeping statement<\/a> on Mediterranean possibilities: sometimes that means gastronomic renditions on cioppino, sometimes simmering cups of pistachio coffee.

Rather, it\u2019s to say that more than two years later, the restaurant\u2019s stronger than ever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Dalida feels as stately inside as it does outside: Picture old-school brick paired with waves of green thanks to the the Presidio\u2019s Main Parade Lawn. The ambiance here is not low-key, nor is the clientele. (I dropped by in shorts and felt pretty stupid.) Dress to impress and act right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">There\u2019s rarely open tables at Dalida. Fortunately, there\u2019ll usually be a seat or two on the outdoor patio. If not, look for a seat at the bar \u2014 you might wait 10 to 15 minutes, but then you\u2019ll get top-tier service from the small army of service staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Sayat and Laura Ozylimaz opened Dalida in the Presidio, there was plenty of earned hype.
