    Fabulous new restaurant! We had my mom's birthday dinner here, the food was excellent (we had a big crowd and everyone loved their orders), the service was impeccable, and the space very comfortable. It's hard for me to find places to take my parents that aren't too loud, and this place is spacious and so we could all hear each other. The lamb shank was so tender, the dolmas perfect, even the greek salad (a common dish) was unusually good.

    This was our first time at Dalida, we went for my husband's birthday. We found out about it on Check Please Bay Area and wanted to try it. The hostess was very gracious when we showed up late due to traffic. We were seated at the chef's counter and it was THE best seat in the house. Our server was incredible and always around. Jerry the Wine manager was extremely knowledgeable about their extensive wine lists and how to pair up our preferences with the food we were ordering. We had a delicious crisp, dry white from Greece (forgot to take a pic of the label so I don't remember the varietal) but similar to an Albariño. A few of the stand out dishes were the Breaking Bread appetizer, Lamb pasta, and the Trout. We had a chance to thank Chef Laura Ozyilmaz in person as she fluttered about the kitchen and dining room. Overall we loved it and would go back again.
