- DDeannaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWe chose to eat outside on the deck. Weather was perfect for February. Food came out rather quickly, however they may have been a little short staffed. We had to ask for things at least twice and the waiter never asked us how our food was. It is still a great place to go, with spectacular views.More infoZelda's on the BeachPrice: Moderate• Californian• Capitola•4.4

- DDavidVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •18 reviews4.0Dined on Feb 14, 2025It is limited menu for my friend due to some allergies. That said she loved your Mussel dish, very good, a large order and the their preparation and presentation was top quality. I ordered oysters, they were fresh, but the preparation allowed the `liquor` inside the shell to drain off, I am used to fresh shucking and like the liquid to remain. I enjoyed my tempura crab sandwich, good quality. The crab prep was similar to a crab cake. We both like this place and will be back for dinner, the menu is larger and several dish listed that look good. Thank you.More infoPete's CapitolaPrice: Expensive• Californian• Capitola•4.5
