    Have visited Dalida a few times and it’s been consistently amazing - from the food, to the wine/cocktail program, and the awesome staff! It’s a beautiful space too - and extra lovely on a sunny day! Thanks for the warm and inviting experience and delicious food!

    We celebrated my birthday on January 2, 2025. Appetizers included delicious hummus, crunchy calamari, and warm dolmas. My wife's entree was a chilled Caesar salad. I chose a Mediterranean salad with a skewer of grilled shrimp. Everything was delicious and served promptly. The dining room ceiling is painted blue with white clouds, which reminded us of our visits to Santorini. The restaurant recognized my birthday with a complementary Baklava pastry. Most appreciated!

    We ordered all the apps for a group of 8. Service was great from the bar to the tables. Very friendly bartender and waitstaff! Love the convenient parking coming from the East Bay. This is a great meeting spot. Loved the hummus, Brussels and the halloumi. Not a duck fan but the radio it came on was great. Wish Tadig was offered with the kabab. Loved the ice cream with saffron.

    The shish taouck and the lamb chops were both so tender and delicious! The sampler was excellent. Would definitely order the same again next time we go back.
