Really cute spot! I've eaten here a few times now, and I love the food. I highly recommend the cheesy garlic bread! I also just had their seasonal drink, the candy cane cocktail, and it was delicious!! I finally got to sit on the deck next to the waterfall, and I loved it. Very nice ambience, and got a nice glimpse of the sunset.

The food was mediocre. I had the butternut squash soup and it was the thickest soup I had ever had. I think it’s Vegan because I didn’t taste the chicken flavor you get from the chicken broth. The double stacked fried chicken sandwich was truly pile hi and spicy. The service was great.

Gorgeous tucked away restaurant at the World Famous San Diego Zoo. We came on a Friday morning and were able to get a reservation right at opening. We were seated inside and ordered the steak, fries, and tomato basil soup. Our server, Madison was not only kind but so attentive! She was quick to bring anything extra that we needed and definitely enhanced our experience with her service. The soup was AMAZING. I asked for the salmon to be more medium rare than well done and the chef(s) cooked it to perfection! The veggies were soft and cauliflower puree was so delicious I had to ask for more!

Okay, the location of Albert's is what sets it apart from other locations. It sits a tranquail location of the World Famous San Diego Zoo. Sit outside and listen to the waterfall. I appreciate the rotating menu that changes. Ordered the breakfast burger. It was well seasoned and so large that I deconstructed it to enjoy the variety of flavors. The mimosa flight was okay. Will eat their again.

Lovely place to eat while visiting this Zoo! We came on a Thursday and there was no wait. Love how they made this restaurant inside the habitat that used to belong to Albert 🦍. We sat outside by the waterfall which made for a beautiful experience! The wait staff was amazing by accommodating our order. We shared a tomato bisque and the chicken sandwich which was plenty for my husband and I. The nice waitress had the kitchen split both of them to serve us our own. Everything was delicious, everyone was kind, and the atmosphere was memorable. Oh, and do order from their signature cocktails! Their vodka strawberry lemonade and their Tequila cucumber drinks were great 👍🏼

Only sit down option at San Diego Zoo. Arrived at 315pm reservation and not busy. Was an unusually hot day in San Diego and the waterfall next to our table had a calming and cooling effect. Food was fine, nothing particularly memorable (although one of the kids had the chicken wings and they were tender and had a nice but not overwhelming heat). Service was top notch. No need to go out of your way, but it was enjoyable.

Enjoy sitting in the patio, while a lovely breeze and beautiful waterfall create a relaxing atmosphere for you. The only sit down restaurant in the park. Great food, fast & friendly service. You can call ahead for reservations, handicap accessible too... Elevator available close by.

Says reservation required, but that's not true. Says there is a Bloody Mary flight, but that's not true. Food was nice to look at, lacking in flavor. Get a patio seat and it's worth it.
