| - I'd describe Zelda's as a good regular spot that's not a chain restaurant.
Came here a couple times over pride weekend because the patio is really nice to sit and people watch.
The servers are a mix of cute gay men and buff straight guys. I love the tourists oggling the straight servers and saying, "if only they weren't gay." haha..little to they know..
anyhow, it's one of the few places where the objectification of men matches the objectification of female servers around the city.
The service:
Reliably good. All the servers are nice and have a great personality. Prompt, kind and, of course, cute to boot.
The food:
Reliable and good. not amazing, again, but solid portions and a regulars menu of tex-mex, burgers and salad.
They only have one thing seserty on the menu, which is unfortunate. But the chocolate/oreo cake looked good, even though I didnt' try it.
The drinks:
But who cares about the food? the real draw of this place is to get a pitcher of something and lounge on the patio for hours. And the servers don't mind the loitering and are very nice- they don't check up on you too often and make you feel bad for loitering but they check up on you enough to get refills or more drinks. The vibe is perfect.
The washrooms:
I'm ocnfused how I have to go past the narrow service/food pickup bar to get to the washrooms. It makes it a bit uncomfortable to share the narrow path to the washroom with half-naked male servers who are picking up food orders.
But after you make the trip back and forth a couple times you learn to just smile graciously at the servers who say sorry for getting in your way and part as you go down the path.
Overall:
4/5 for Service
3/5 Overall.
Positives= service, reliability
Negatives= nothing is oustanding, and it is reliable in a chain-restaurant sort of way (w/out being a chain restaurant).
