A $32, 3-course meal is offered Tuesday – Thursdays that changes weekly so we set sail for Thames Street, arriving a few minutes before 6:30PM, lets call it 6:28PM. The restaurant is housed in an attractive brick and brownstone building constructed in 1895 that was originally a liquor store/brewery and private function hall. Who the hell was Zelda you might ask? I checked a Snapple bottle cap and discovered the restaurant was named after F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wife and her influence in creating the roaring 20’s lifestyle.We, that being the wife and I, each chose the salad option over the soup or chowder options. The heirloom tomato salad with arugula, figs, grapefruit, feta and tzatziki proved to be deliciously wonderful, can’t speak to the quality of either the soup or chowder. There were 3 entrees offered with us, that being she and me, opting for pan seared swordfish, salmon and shrimp with baby arugula, farro and tomato espelette (pepper) vinaigrette. The seafood was perfectly prepared – read not overcooked. Lastly, we ignored the gelato option in favor of Creole bread pudding with bourbon sauce – a taste delight! Okay, I lied, the last comment was actually not my last, what I failed to mention up this point is about the service, in one word – excellent.
You’ll be sorry if you pass up on this gem! Delicious garlic vichicios, steak tartare, and duck confit w/duck sausage. Great service and nice atmosphere.
Stopped for lunch with my son, slightly off season. Had the blackened chicken sandwich and he had a burger. We liked it! Food was good, service was good.
Need a reservation. So no walk ins. Across the street was friendly and had seats available.
This is where the true, Newport year-rounders frequent. Mark and ‘T’ run the all wooden bar better than anyone else in Newport – be sure to order the ‘Black-Poon’ for a locals favorite. When dining for dinner – you can’t go wrong with their chowder, fried calamari with Asian sauce, seared tuna, Zelda burger, buffalo chicken wrap, steak frites and the chocolate bomb dessert. For Sunday brunch…go with the traditional eggs Benedict an enjoy the BEST bloody in town!
Relaxing , good food. This is a beautiful neighborhood restaurant.The decor is warming. The food was excellent. the presentation was wonderful
Quaint. Loved it. We came in on a very busy weekend night not knowing we would have really needed a reservation. Zelda’s was very accomodating to us, the place was elegant and classy. The patrons were from an older crowd but were very friendly to us on the bar side as we waited for our table, cocktails in hand! The food…different…refreshing….a needed change. The appetizers and entres were so good I had desert, I was full allready but just too eager to see how great it tasted. If you have not been…go…make a reservation.
