Best Casual Restaurants in Scotts Valley

The food and ambience are wonderful! Our service was exceptional even though it was a very busy day.

Great food and service!! it was quite loud but a great experience. Cornbread is amazing!

Wife and I had a date night here and the food was very flavorful. We ordered Paper, Pho-Rancini, Surf and Turf Roll, and the Truffle Fries for starters. Surf and Turf was the best of the bunch followed by the Truffle Fries with their truffle aioli dipping sauce. Paper and Pho-Rancini were fine as well, but didn’t really wow us. For entrees, we had Fortunate Son and Longevity w/beef. These were both fantastic! The ribeye was very tender and the noodles were sooo flavorful and had a good portion of tender steak nuggets in them. This was far too much food for two people, so we had a bit left to go home for lunch the next day. The presentation of the food, and the ambience of the restaurant were impeccable. They do have a lot of unique cocktail offerings though we did not partake. There is a burger making machine that takes up quite a bit of space in the back of the dining room and we didn’t see it make a single burger while we were there. Overall, we had a great night out here, and will likely be back in the future to try some of the other offerings!

Zelda’s is amazing located in front of Capitola beach and colorful houses! Excellent service and delicious food! Artichokes was AWESOME!

Excellent food in the most perfect location. Sat outside overlooking the beach just a few feet away. I had the 1994 chicken sandwich and it was the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. My wife had the grilled fish tacos and they were equally spectacular. Great place and I can’t wait to return.
