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 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 .

We drove to Capitola for the beach but we needed coffee and brunch and decided on Zelda's because you just can't beat that view from the tables outside. I ordered a coffee and the eggs Benedict and it was great! Delicious breakfast that tasted so good even though it got cold outside before I could even get halfway through it. My coffee was decent and the waitress did give me a couple refills which was very necessary! The view is wonderful and I went and sat by the water afterwards which rejuvenated me! I will absolutely come back to Zelda's for more breakfast next time!!
