   It’s easier if you make a reservation ahead of time. Only decent food alternative at the San Diego zoo. Pleasant location and fairly easy to find with indoor and outdoor seating.

   We had a Beautiful Easter Meal at Albert's Restaurant. We had Teresa as our server. She did a Phenomenal job of listening carefully and providing exactly what was requested. She kept our drinks filled regularly. The Chicken Picatta was prepared Perfectly, with requested Extra Lemon Beur Blanc. FABULOUS !!

   Dine on the enclosed patio for a tree-top experience. Our meals were delicious as well as the extra sweet potato fries. Reserve ahead to avoid a wait. Worth every penny.

   Reservation’s didn’t have a priority which was off putting to me. What was the point of a reservation? Apparently none. Waitress was great. Food was great! Loved the chocolate tort, glad we went there for lunch

   Great experience, a nice location with great staff to take a break from the zoo. Only complain is that it’s a bit over priced, but for good food, relaxing spot, and great service , worth it .

   We enjoyed a nice late lunch at Albert’s restaurant. We had never been there but were pleasantly surprised by it. Good food & drinks.

   I usually come for happy hour and sit at the bar, but a friend of mine decided to grab lunch so we lucked out on a reservation. We were seated earlier than our reservation which was nice. Be mindful that this is the zoo and there may be kids falling a part from tiredness so you may have one or two around you. But it’s the zoo!! We ordered a glass of bubbly each, they do have bottle options. We ordered salads one with chicken and one with steak. We were very pleased with the proteins. We ate everything on our plate. Prices are average restaurant prices. $15-17 drinks, $15-30 meals. Definitely coming back

    Cute off the beaten path place to eat. Did have to ask for directions on how to find it. Pricey but great food if you want more than hot dogs n pizza. Definitely make reservations.
