Unlike previous reviewers, I actually enjoy Zelda's. Perhaps that's because I have a dog, and this is one of the few beachside restaurants where you can hitch your dog to the fence next to your table. The outside seating is virtually on the beach---creating a wonderful atmosphere---except for the pigeons and gulls that swoop in the minute guests leave their... more

We stopped by on our family vacation to enjoy our one night "eating out." WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT!!! The website made it seem like such a nice, fun place to eat. I had high hopes for this place, but it was nothing but horribley overpriced with pretty crappy food. I am easy to please foodwise, but seriously, you could get a... more

Food was mediocre and grossly overpriced. Service was slow and not much of it. Would not recommend for families - too many "bar flies" hanging about. Definitely not a place I would visit a second time. If you can, AVOID this place! This place could use a good cleaning and a SCARE CROW to keep the birds from crapping on... more

I hate to see Zelda's get such a poor review. We have been to Zelda's for breakfast several times. it's a great spot in the morning. The view is beautiful, the service prompt.

This place came highly recommended in a heresay type way. We asked the waiter what was good and he didn't really seem to know, so we tried the clam chowder as an appetizer. It was good a bit light on flavor but the clams were not overcooked so we had high hopes for the rest of the meal. The waiter... more

The food is OK and the location is nice (on the beach), but the place could and should (!) be much cleaner! Also, the food is a bit overpriced for such an uninspired menu. more

Great Fish and good Bloody Marys, but expect to pay for the view. The portions seem small for the price, but the Fish is coated with a nice light breading and is fresh. Try the clam chowder! more
