We split a pizza, the crust was different than what most are used to, but tasty. The waitress was very friendly and kind.

Great food, a bit expensive, and decent service given that it was Friday night and the place was packed. I would go again.

Great food! Their salads are served with real greens, not just iceberg! So delicious. Evie was a delightful server.

Great food, but 2 plus hour wait times met with horrible waitstaff and cooks that just don't want to serve you. I've been here multiple times and it is just declining in quality every visit.

This use to be great place to eat, for the last few, the food hasn't been as good, and the service is awful. They are dog friendly, that's why I gave this score. Otherwise will not go back again.

I mostly had drinks, because my dog is tolerated here. The employees are all so friendly. I STUPIDLY left something valuable here and the server stashed it for me. I would have spent more time here upon my return, but my dog wanted to frolic outside the confines of the dog friendly area. Sorry to the other patrons who had to hear him squeak. Sorry to the waitstaff from whom I would have ordered more. The beverages and the shrimp cocktail were delicious. I was a little disappointed I couldn’t arrive for dinner so I could order the clam pasta.

Our server was amazing! Recommended a delicious beer that I really enjoyed. The kitchen was extremely slow. It took over an hour for our food to arrive at the table. Once it arrived, it was delicious and we were starving so it was even more delicious.

Exactly what you'd expect near a marina serving tourists. A real seafood vibe but with landlubber options on the menu as well. We had to wait about 20 minutes at the bar on a Sunday night for a table. Food and service was very good. We didn't bring our dog but appreciated the note on the menu (pictured).

Zola in Brookings is such a charming spot. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, with a beautiful patio that overlooks the marina. Perfect spot for soaking in the coastal vibe while you eat. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food hits the mark.

The chowder is rich and comforting, the local rockfish tacos are packed with flavor, and the steamers with mussels and clams are fresh and satisfying. Everything feels well prepared and thoughtfully served.

If you are in Brookings and looking for great food with a view, Zola is absolutely worth a visit. Grab a seat outside and enjoy the breeze.

I've watched this business grow and change and it's all been for the better! I've never had any complaints. Great food, service and minimal wait time. They've got it down!! This new location offers a lot more seating and it also has a different vibe. It's fancier but I still feel at home.

The food here was outstanding. We had the Rockfish Tacos and shrimp tacos, both out standing. Also the fresh rockfish served with green beans and basmati rice outstanding. My fmwife had the Pesto Chicken pizza and it was cooked perfectly. We will be back here again.
