Zelda's

The Chilaquiles were a bit soggy but the chicken was good and the egg was so- so.The service was friendly and fast, the ambiance is open , clean, overlooks the ocean, the prices were reasonable.The only thing I would recommend turning down is the music, it was a bit loud.

Yay... a lovely dog-friendly patio for dining and enjoying the beautiful view. Thank You so much!the food is delicious. We enjoyed fresh hot coffee, and a hot cinnamon roll followed by eggs benedict.Breakfast is served till 2:00 PM, so there is time to enjoy the ukulele gathering on the esplanade and then head to Zelda' for brunch.The restaurant is clean as are the restrooms. Our server was outstanting... prompt, friendly and efficient. There is a small fee for meal splitting; but if you order a side there is no fee. We got the cinnamon roll. YUM.Parking can be remarkably challenging, so we usually just head straight to the public parking lot and walk a bit.

Went here for lunch this weekend. The atmosphere was great, we were able to sit outside with our dog and enjoy watching the birds and the ocean while we ate. They had a sign up with rules for how your dog should behave which I appreciated as Millie was able to follow all of them. However, it doesn't seem they keep people to the rules as a smaller dog jumped out from under a table barking and snapping at Millie as we walked to our table. The staff did nothing about it and the owner of the dog apologized, but if you are going to have rules to make it safe for all guests and their pets, you should make people follow them.The food was pretty good, we got fish and chips and clam chowder in a bread bowl and finished them off! The prices were a little high but thats expected when you are sitting and eating right on the beach. The waitstaff were nice but not very present. Unfortunately we were only checked on once, and were never brought the extra side of sauce we asked for. We finished our meal and had our dishes taken and then had to wait for 15 minutes as our waiter was no where around and no one would stop by or look at us so we could ask for our check. Unfortunately the long wait and minimal service put a bit of a damper on our experience, but the weather was beautiful and the food was great!

Great spot to grab a drink and some appetizers. Incredible views and a dog friendly patio. I was surprised to see many low ratings for Zelda's as I really enjoyed my time here. While visiting Capitola I went for both dinner and brunch! The specials they had for Valentine's Day weekend were incredible - specifically the mushroom gnocchi.

I visited for breakfast and it was such a beautiful view of the ocean! Luckily I went on a sunny day with some girlfriends. We ordered the chilaquiles with avocado and my other friend ordered the basic breakfast. The waiter was really helpful and attentive. I would say to be careful of the birds as they are flying by, they didn't try to take our food but they were awfully close to us as we ate. It was a bit on the pricier side, but that's to be expected with a beautiful view. Other than that I had a great time here :)

We came to Capitola for the day with my family . We were by the beach and saw this cute patio decided to come in and check it out . We got some drinks and drank them on the outside patio over looking the beach . The inside has a nice bar area and cozy feel . They have clean restrooms and a good vibe . After a while we got hungry so we went inside the restaurant to have a formal sit in lunch . Our waiter Sam was amazing super attentive and friendly. He definitely made sure we were taken care of . The food is a little pricy but it was good . We ordered .. Cobb salad $21 + $2.50 for avocado 2 -Caesar salads $15 + $12 for salmon They had a surcharge on our bill too . So food was pricy but good for the location right by the beach . Overall I would definitely eat there again . The views are amazing very convenient to sit on the patio you are pretty much on the beach . Sam was amazing. Good times .

Always great food and service at Zelda's. I recommend sitting on the patio- enjoy the sun and the waves crashing nearby. I had the French toast and its chicken tenders. The brioche bread was light and fluffy. I wished it was less buttery and more cinnamon. The chicken tenders have the perfect amount of flavor and breading - not too thick. And the chicken is juicy. I had them make a special drink with pineapple juice and whiskey - yum!! Service is always good- asking if you need anything and refilling the water glass appropriately.

We came here early one morning for a family brunch. We were immediately greeted by kind people and got to pick a table right near the heater (it was cold outside). The service was great, with our orders being taken quickly and our food coming out within a few minutes nice and warm.We ordered the breakfast burrito, eggs benedict, and spinach mushroom scramble. The breakfast burrito was absolutely huge, and super tasty. Definitely need a knife and fork to eat it. The eggs benedict has a super crunchy English muffin and a delicious homemade sauce, plus the poached eggs were cooked perfectly. As the for scramble, I decided to sub in egg whites and they cooked it very well. I wish there was a little more spinach and a hint more mushroom flavor, but other than that the filling was cooked very well and the scramble as a whole was very good. And the side of fruit was super fresh and perfectly sweet.The price was a little expensive at about $17 a person, and they charged +$2 for subbed egg whites and +$3 for subbed side of fruit over home fries.Cute little place, and a great beach view. They also have a coffee bar with a bunch of pastries you can order either at the outdoor to-go window or inside the restaurant.

Zelda's is right on the beach with fantastic views. The outdoor patio is great for the scenery and the sounds of the waves. My wife and I had lunch here on a Tuesday afternoon in the first week of November. While overall it was a nice "warmish" day, it was a bit cold on the outdoor patio. They had outdoor heaters but they were not in operation. Still the setting was great, so we stayed cold to enjoy the location. As it was a Tuesday in Autumn, there were plenty of empty tables, outside and inside. One hazard of the outdoor seating is that there is evidence of lots of birds (leaving their calling cards on the tables). We had to ask the waiter to clean the table (that should have been done before seating us there).I had the Seared Ahi Salad ($24) which consisted of 4 pieces of Ahi (cooked perfectly just on the edges, with the centers like sashimi) over a large salad. It had a tasty ginger based dressing that added perfectly to the overall flavor. Drawbacks: there could have been more fish and the cooked edges of the fish was rubbed with some spices that were slightly on the harsh side. My wife had the Seafood Melt Sandwich ($21) which she enjoyed. I had a taste and it was a nice blend of flavors. She also had a drink of Hot Tea ($4). Note: As disclosed on the menu, there is 4% surcharge added to the total bill. This is a practice that should be stopped. The restaurant should pay their employees enough (raising the menu prices accordingly to cover it) and not bill customers separately for this. It is deceptive and the disclosure on the menu is small and out of the way. It would be more honest to raise the item prices by 4% to cover it and have honest pricing on the menu.The service was good and attentive.

Bartender and servers are so accommodating and friendly. Done days I'm dressed like I just came off the beach and other days I'm coming to withWith my laptop. They provide the same great service. I order off menu Spicy mocha ( non alcoholic)Pancakes are my fav item in the menu ! I get kids size and order kids eggs , so I get a lot of variety Can't beat the view and the vibe !
