Zelda’s on the Beach is a great spot right by the water with really good food and an awesome beach atmosphere. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful, and the location alone makes it worth visiting while in Capitola. Service was okay overall, just not especially warm or friendly during our visit. Still, we enjoyed the experience and would come back again for the food and views. Pro tip: try to get a table with a view of the beach; definitely makes the experience even better.

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!

Came to see the beach and happened to stumble upon Zelda's on the Beach, what a great find! We decided to order from the bar and enjoy our meal outside, and the beachfront view was absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. The bartender was fast, friendly, and respectful, providing excellent service with a warm attitude. I ordered a cocktail, the bruschetta, and the mahi mahi, and everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. The combination of great food, wonderful service, and an unbeatable ocean view made for a perfect experience. I would highly recommend Zelda's on the Beach and can't wait to come back!

Zelda’s on the beach has a fun atmosphere and they have dinning on the water also inside tables. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and they got your food out right away. It was busy but we didn’t have to wait long.
