Views and drinks were stellar, food was ok, service was good. I absolutely loved being steps away from the beach! We came on a weekday for a late lunch and were seated very quickly. My strawberry lemonade cocktail was perfect on this warm day and had the right amount of sweetness, tartness, and alcohol.
I started off with a cup of chowder, which was pretty darn good and then shared some calamari and fries with my husband. The calamari definitely could have had a little more batter and been crispier but I did enjoy the fries.
I would return for drinks and views!

Overall a good experience! The calamari was truly well done, minimal breading and still tender despite the fry! Grilled sea bass was a little too salty, could tell they gave a sprinkle of salt at the end that was too heavy handed for my preference. Parking is street parking, on the same route as many other restaurants so it can be a little tight

Good food and service. Plenty of seats, both indoor and outdoor. Good selection on the menu, and everything is cooked well.

Another great meal at Zelda’s. Wednesday concert at the Esplanade, with my clam chowder bread bowl. It’s one of my favorites in the area. Great flavor. Love the bread. Please don’t order the bread bowl and leave the bread, lol. It makes me sad when I see people do that. Their coconut cheesecake is to die for but since I have had it multiple times, decided to try the bread pudding. It was delicious too. Had a great mocha and coffee as well. The views is awesome too. Witnessed a lot of dive bombing birds diving for their dinner in the ocean while I was dive bombing my plate.

You are definitely paying for the scenery not the $27 fish and chips. Ordered cup of clam chowder ($9) and fish and chips ($27). Chowder was piping hot but lacks flavor, fish and chips on the other hand was bad. It was definitely frozen premade fish deep fried. Came out soggy and fishy.

100% recommendation! Went here on a Wednesday evening at 07.45 pm. It was neither crowded nor lonely. Got a great spot with amazing seaview. I ordered the Seared Blackened Ahi Salad and was totally amazed. Such a fresh and tasty dish! Among the best I’ve ever had. On top, I was served by the super friendly owner, who gave me some great recommendations. Thank you so much!

During our trip to Capitola, we stopped by Zelda’s on the Beach and timed our reservation for 6:30 PM so we could catch the sunset during dinner. The restaurant was not too packed, so a reservation was not even necessary. We had the option to sit inside or outside, and we were lucky enough to get a booth by an open window. It gave us the perfect sunset view while staying comfortable and away from the winds, even on a warm evening.
We started with the coconut shrimp, which ended up being my absolute favorite dish of the night. For entrées, we had the cioppino, a tomato based seafood stew with garlic bread that was flavorful but a little light if you are really hungry, and the sautéed mahi mahi served over coconut white rice. The rice was delicious, though I was not the biggest fan of the sauté on the fish itself. For our daughter, we ordered a milkshake, and that was the winner of the night, so creamy and absolutely amazing.
Overall, Zelda’s is worth visiting just for the location alone. Sitting by the beach with a view of the sunset makes it such a memorable stop. I have heard from others that brunch is even better than dinner, so next time we are in Capitola we will definitely be back to try their morning menu.

Visiting from Cottonwood Heights, Utah. Great food, great service and a great view! Plus, the t-shirts are amazing. Didn’t catch our servers name but he was very attentive and he wore braces. Bravo!

We really enjoyed the restaurant. We went for breakfast. The coffee was really good, the food was fine. I was hoping for better. Maybe we should try lunch or dinner.

The food was fantastic! We enjoyed an Asian chicken salad and a creamy pesto Alfredo, all while watching the sunset right on the beach with an unforgettable view.
