I have always had consistently good food here. Literally right on the beach, so great ambiance. Menu is a little sparse, but I think this may be due to COVID. We had quick and friendly service and had our party of 7 seated within 25 minutes even though we showed up at 12:45. They don't take reservations so be ready to wait a bit during busy times. Overall, once again very satisfied.
OMG Zelda's is a Capitola staple, locals spot vibe, with heavy pour drinks and the most under the sea lobster catch Thursday deal ever! AND.THE.PATIO.VIEW is EVERYTHING. All caps intended. Absolutely nothing better than kicking back on the patio with a cocktail/mocktail (your choice) and soaking in the sand and sea with the colorful beach bungalows nearby. It really is like a picture perfect moment.
More stars and kudos to this Beautiful restaurant where you are welcomed and accommodated right away. The view was beautiful and most of all the service was astounding. The food was amazing especially their fries! We love fries and it was perfect, the seasoning, the way it was fried and cut so perfect. All in all experience more than 5 Stars! Keep at it :)
Talk about a great meal with a great view! The staff were all so friendly and had lots of helpful tips for the area. The breakfasts we had were super delicious. One of us is gluten free and had lots of different choices! The pancakes were super fluffy( not GF) and I would definitely order again! Come for a lovely meal and sit back and enjoy the gorgeous vistas.
