  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Charming
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.

    The best meal in San Francisco! The menu is innovative and every dish is excellent. We've now sampled most of the menu and every single dish was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Wines are pricey but excellent choices. The bar is vibrant and the restaurant has a buzz because it is always full of happy diners. Our server, Alex, was knowledgeable, attentive and enthusiastic about the food. Highly recommend.

    Food was okay, wasn’t phenomenal. Prices are high for what you get. Pita and hummus was good. Cauliflower was just okay. Trout (think it was really salmon) was ordinary.

    It was was a busy evening. We sat at the chef’s table and watched as they prepared food. It was a bit crowded, but interesting and the food was delicious! Our service was very good as well. We ordered the “chef’s choice” with a wine paring, a great experience!

    Miscommunication with service started off experience on the wrong foot. They did try to make it better but the food was hit and miss with flavors.
