A really nice place tucked in the zoo. It is a bit pricey, but so are most things in the zoo. Good thing is majority of the money goes for the well-being of the animals and upkeep of the zoo. Yet it was really cool to have a meal in their outdoor patio sitting next to a waterfall and surrounded by trees. The staff were nice and the food was tasty.

The food here was amazing! I would definitely go here again if I went to the San Diego zoo again which I probably will someday. The garlic cheesy bread is to die for and so is the fish that I had and my friends pasta. The steak that the guy had next to me looked awesome amazing! They were so nice. They let us sit at the bar and order drinks until we had a table since the wait was about 20 minutes. It actually wasn’t that long though. We got a table, our waitress is great, just like our bartender! I would definitely come here again!

One of the nicest dining spots inside the San Diego Zoo. The staff were all cheerful and helpful. It took a while for the food to be served. The cheesy garlic bread was yummy but rich. The flat iron steak kale salad tasted healthy and surprisingly delicious, perhaps one of the best dishes we ordered. The pasta with chicken piccata and creamy sauce was quite good. The mac and cheese and fries in the kids menu were decent. Overall the quality of the food was better than what we expected from a restaurant inside the zoo. The price was on the higher end compared to the other places inside the zoo, but it was a great dining experience for us, especially on a rainy and chilly winter day.

A hidden gem in the trees of the San Diego Zoo. It felt like we were eating in a tree house. Mark, our server, was wonderfully attentive. The food was delicious! The corn chowder was comforting. The chicken burger was enormous. The fries were crispy. The steak was well flavored. Would definitely go back if we visit the zoo again.

This place is and has been a pleasant surprise. Not only are they the only spot in the non-Safari park that takes reservations, but I feel like it’s the best sit down food experience in the zoo. Overall, the food and drinks have been consistently great, often incorporating themes from the zoo and its critters. The service was and has been consistent, and the price is reasonable considering both the zoo and San Diego in general. Honestly, I don’t see any downside to giving this place a try.

Take a break from all the walking and sightseeing and check out Albert’s Restaurant, the only full-service restaurant and bar in the San Diego Zoo.
It’s been years since my last visit to the zoo, so I had to try this place out. I highly recommend making reservations early, especially during busy seasons. We made reservations for lunch the day we visited with ease.
There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, with a waterfall just outside the patio area. The dining area is inviting and fits the zoo’s theme and decor.
We ordered various items from the menu, and everything was delicious. I ordered the House Smoked Albacore Tuna Melt, which was flavorful and filling. The Seasonal Salmon entrée and Cheesy Garlic Bread were also hits. The Double Stacked Chicken Sandwich was hefty; I don’t think my family finished that one, but they enjoyed it.
Overall, it was a pleasant and tasty experience. Our server, Madison S., was friendly and attentive, and our food came out promptly. For parties of seven or more, an 18% gratuity is added. The prices for being in a theme park weren’t surprising, but I would dine here again.

We were looking for something tasty to eat at the zoo, which has a rating of 4 stars and more! With the help of Google, we found the restaurant.
The food was quickly prepared, nicely presented and tasted good. With the salad, the combination of strawberries and the bacon chips was well combined! The shrimps in the pasta (additionally ordered) were very good.
We definitely recommend the restaurant!

Absolutely fantastic! Albert’s Restaurant at the San Diego Zoo is a gem in the midst of a wild adventure. After a delightful stroll around the zoo, stepping into this cozy, air-conditioned haven was perfect. The ambiance is charming, and the view is simply breathtaking. Although we had a short wait of about 25 minutes, it was well worth it. The restaurant is understandably busy, but it’s a must-visit. The experience was top-notch from start to finish. Highly recommend!
