Best thing I ate this week: Stonefruit lamb kebab at Dalida
Eating out is always a good idea, to be honest — especially when coming across a restaurant as good as Dalida.
The vibe: The restaurant in the former military barracks of the historic Presidio focuses on Eastern Mediterranean fare in a vibrant, nature-inspired setting.
The dishes are influenced by husband-and-wife team Laura and Sayat Ozyilmaz's travels to his native Turkey, spotlighting the converging cultures of the region that have long influenced Istanbul.
What I ate: The stonefruit lamb skewer ($19) is inspired by the Levant, made with tender morsels of succulent lamb wedged between charred loquat over smoked labneh and topped with a pepper-za'atar pine nut relish.
My thought bubble: It was the perfect blend of flavors — tangy, rich and slightly sweet due to the tartness of the loquats.
If you go: Open daily except Monday from 11:30am–2pm and 5–9pm at 101 Montgomery St, Suite 100.

Leonetta Adds Mediterranean Cuisine To Manhattan's 'Curry Hill'
Mezes and flatbreads are an array of first courses at Leonetta. Among food lovers, Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood, on the east side in the thirties, is affectionately known as Curry Hill owing to its large number of Indian restaurants. Leonetta, opened last autumn, adds a welcome departure with a menu from the Eastern Mediterranean. It's a very handsome restaurant––what the British would call smart posh––with a glittering bar and roomy central booths, bentwood chairs, wood floors, fringed jellyfish hanging lamps, and good lighting throughout, with plenty of greenery and a window wall on the street, with an adjacent smaller room and a more intimate downstairs space called Leo's Famous. Handsome and well-lighted, Leonetta draws a largely female crowd. For whatever reason, the clientele is, each night, composed of seventy percent women, including at the long bar, and they dress up and keep the atmosphere vivacious. Sadly they must shout to be heard over thundering music speakers with thudding bass lines layered over indefinable canned music. For the millionth time, nobody goes to a good restaurant to hear loud music, and it baffles me that restaurateurs think it provides an appealing 'vibe.' Chef Cotton's ;are menu is suffused with spices from all over the Mediterranean. Chef Ed Cotton, a Massachusetts native, worked in Boston with Todd English and followed with stints with Daniel Boulud, Laurent Tourondel and David Burke, whose influence for fired, gutsy textures and flavors is clear at Leonetta. The menu ranges from mezes to pizzas and pitas, salads, seafood and meats, all from the food cultures of the Mediterranean, beginning with a lush baba ghanoush of nicely charred eggplant with an intense confit of tomato and pickled onions. Black garlic hummus picks up flavors from toasted spices and tender marinated chickpeas. A delicious choice to be shared is the chopped tuna puttanesca with entwined flavors and textures of tomato, olive, capers anchovy, and sesame grissini. Shawarma is a hefty pork shank with crisp skin to be stuffed into pita bread. The pita breads at Leonetta are terrific––puffy, warm and yeasty, with a toasty sear on the outside, which can be had with Greek spanakopita filling, while the rosemary focaccia bread comes with olives, whipped ricotta and za'atar. There are five pastas that are lusty indeed, like the frilly black truffle mafaldine with wild mushrooms, mascarpone and Parmigiano. Even better is the rick shrimp Israeli cous cous scented with saffron and studded with zucchini, tomato and lemon. The most interesting of the seafood dishes is the swordfish steak with chermoula,gingered cauliflower pilaf, eggplant yogurt and charred lemon. The lamb mixed grill, at $55, is a bargain, since you get a generous platter of loin, Merguez sausage tomato and spinach orzo, kalamata olives and chickpeas. A fudge chocolate dessert with ice cream. The not-to-be-missed dish, to share, is the pork shawarma, consisting of a massive bone-in shank cooked till tender so that the bone slides right out. With its crispy skin and well-seasoned meat, it is meant to be stuffed into those fine pitas, with tangy turmeric pickles and dressed with a white and red sauce. Among the side dishes, the aromatic basmati rice involves sweet Medjool dates and black mission figs, and you should definitely order a plate of the fat, za'atar-laced steak fries with bits of feta and hot harissa ketchup. For dessert there's a commendable tiramisù; rich chocolate pudding with an orange-saffron marmalade and Chantilly cream; and a pleasing semolina cake flavored with olive oil and served with fior di latte gelato and a pine nut-rosemary crumble. There is, of course, an array of signature cocktails and a pretty good wine list with reasonably priced wines well under $100 and several wines by the glass. Our waiter, whose name was Joel, was exceptionally affable and helpful throughout service, and as the room started to empty around nine o'clock, that throbbing vibe did too. I do wish they'd change the outmoded policy of only seating a party when all members have arrived, which, depending on New York traffic, could be a long wait at the hostess station or the bar. Leonetta seems wholly fitting within its neighborhood, for its food shares the same focus on spices and seasonings, charring and cooling yogurt as do its Indian neighbors. It's already caught on with the young professionals and the many nearby hospital staffers from NYU Langone, Lenox Hill and Mount Sinai who can come for a meal of small bites, pizzas, pastas or a full-scale dinner in a splendid surroundings. LEONETTA 181 Lexington Avenue 646-448-4288 Open for lunch Mon.-Fri.; brunch Sat. & Sun.; dinner nightly.

Robin Wright on Fighting for Equal Pay on ‘House of Cards': They Said, ‘We Can't Pay You the Same' as Kevin Spacey ‘Because You Didn't Win an Academy Award'
Robin Wright reflected on her time on 'House of Cards' at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival on Monday, saying she had to fight for equal pay on the series because she didn't have an Oscar. During a chat moderated by Variety's international features director Leo Barraclough, Wright recalled scoring a lead role on the 2013 show, which was Netflix's first big TV series. More from Variety 'Sherlock & Daughter' Team Talks Expanding the Universe After Season 1: 'Crime Is Blissfully International' 'Gangs of London' Producer Teases Show's Future, 'New Characters and New Surprises' After Shocking Season 3 Deaths: 'Expect the Unexpected' Former 'Teen Wolf' Stars on How Young Actors Can Survive a Media Storm: 'Be Comfortable With Saying No' 'When David Fincher introduced 'House of Cards' to me, he said: 'This is going to be the future, it's going to be revolutionary,'' Wright recalled. 'And look where we are now.' However, she said she had to fight for equal pay on the hit show, which she co-led with Kevin Spacey. 'Yes, it was difficult. I am going to be honest,' she said. 'When I said, 'I think it's only fair because my character became as popular as [Spacey's], they said: 'We can't pay you the same as an actor, so we will make you exec producer and you can direct. We will give you three different paychecks.' I asked, 'Why can't you pay me as an actor?' 'Because you didn't win an Academy Award.'' But being angry 'wasn't going to change anything,' Wright said. 'That has been the protocol for years — it just is. If you say, 'Why did so-and-so female not get the same amount as Will Smith?' They say, 'It will increase after you win.' Nomination, not so much,' she continued. 'Why does it have to do anything with a raise?' She also talked about that controversial ending: 'That was my idea, so… Sorry. Initially, I said: 'Let him kill her.'' However, Wright said getting to direct the show was a 'gift.' 'It was the camera operator on 'House of Cards' who said, 'Why don't you just try?'' she recalled. 'I learned so much on that show. I didn't feel any pressure. I was encouraged to do it.' She also previewed her upcoming series, Amazon MGM Studios' psychological thriller 'The Girlfriend.' 'We all collaborated together to build this tension between two women who fight for this young man,' she said. Adapted from the novel by Michelle Frances – and featuring Olivia Cooke ('House of the Dragon'), Laurie Davidson ('Mary and George') and Waleed Zuaiter ('Gangs of London') – it will see Wright as Laura, who has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband and her precious only son, Daniel (Davidson). But Laura's seemingly perfect life is blown apart when Daniel brings home Cherry (Cooke), the girlfriend who changes everything. Wright is exec-producing, directing and starring in the six-episode limited series, set to premiere in the fall. Wright will receive the Crystal Nymph Award at Monte-Carlo TV fest in recognition of her exceptional career and her enduring influence on the audiovisual industry. She first started out in TV – in the soap opera 'Santa Barbara' – before moving into film. Wright is also engaged in activism, advocating for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo and launching the charitable female sleepwear line Pour Les Femmes. She noted: 'I did it because I couldn't get any traction in Washington DC for the women of Congo. I really wanted to go to electronic companies and say: 'Can you wake up?' If you charge one dollar more for your iPhone, that dollar can go for protecting them. A lot of these women that I've met in hospitals are now doctors and lawyers.' 'Was there any pushback from DC? Yes. Congress people, they promise: 'We will get to it.' They just want to take a selfie with you.' Wright was joined on stage by Rola Bauer, executive producer for Amazon MGM Studios, who shared her philosophy when it comes to new shows: 'If you don't entertain people, they are not going to come. If it's possible, and if we can, enlighten [with these shows]. Give something back.' Later, Wright also talked about her film career including iconic titles like 'Princess Bride' and 'Forrest Gump.' 'People still ask me about these films. Only about these films.' She still has a soft spot for underseen Rebecca Miller's 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee' – 'I wish she would work more' – but already-announced project 'Kissinger Takes Paris' with Tim Roth cast as Henry Kissinger might not see the light of the day. 'I don't think this is happening. It has been radio-silent for almost a year.' As for her biggest achievements, Wright answered: 'My children are still alive. As for my career… There's this window in your late 30s and early 40s, and there were no roles. It was dry. That's when 'House of Cards' came up. It helped me plateau for a while. I don't know if I would be able to get parts in films at the time.'
