Definitely go during happy hour ! The prices are a bit steep (what do you expect it's in the zoo after all) but the portions are very generous and overall pretty tasty! The complimentary bred is yum!

San Diego Zoo

Albert's is named after one of our famous gorillas. Check out our $5 happy hour menu Monday through Friday and enjoy our outdoor patio - it's one of the nicest places to relax in the Zoo .

Lillian Yang

Best value that left my husband and I totally impressed. Those fish tacos + prime rib French dip were ????. Recommend reservations at least a few hours in advance!

Jennifer Bisang

My kids hated the Mac and cheese . It is very cool and beautiful on the outside deck . Fish sandwich and salads were great!

Jill McClune

In and outdoor seating away from the crowds. Beautiful waterfall . Food flavor and variety quite good.

Katie Holliday

Very few vegetarian/vegan choices. The portobella sandwich was served with cheese and fries , but delicious just the same. Sourdough rolls to die for.

Megan F

Sea bass was excellent! Get it as a sandwich for the beer battered fries !

Rob Mc Cullough

Food is good, but it can be unnecessarily loud in the dining room. Small changes would really help noise level. Great break from crush of the crowd.

Lane K

Fries are beer battered and delicious. OMG they are like crack, couldn't stop eating them.

Vicki

Yummy appetizers and beautiful patio with a waterfall view !

Liz L

Try to snag a table outside on the deck next to the waterfall . Very relaxing.

Steve Mannel

Try the Queso & Mac with little bits o sausage !

Vicki Seller

Nice place to be able to sit down. Still loud and crazy though unless you can get a table on the patio . Full bar . Mediocre food.

Sarah R

Overpriced, but always tempting.

Carie Gorney

Roasted duck fart

Susan Archer

Its awful and service stinks....dont waste your time or money. Pasta over done and tasteless, salads with bad produce.

Ekaterina Vasilyeva

Ресторан оказался на удивление отличным, несмотря на то, что расположен в зоопарке, цены адекватные. Очень понравились кольца кальмаров-нежнейшие и отличный стейк был от шефа
