I took an out of state friend to dine at Albert's, she enjoyed the tuna melt and the seasonal drinks. I had the Cauliflower soup which was OK, not my favorite. Overall a positive dining experience.

We had another wonderful lunch at Alberts. We both had the Cobb salad with salmon. The meal and service were top-notch! Sitting on the outside deck with that waterfall and the trees all around made for a memorable experience. Great job.

The food was excellent and the servers were so wonderful. We come to Albert‘s for special occasions and the day after Thanksgiving was a beautiful experience. Reservations are best during by holiday periods and Open Table is simple for us to use. Don’t miss Albert’s next time you go to the San Diego Zoo.

The location is nice, peaceful and quaint, and centrally located in the zoo area. Service is great. Food is freshly prepared just the way one requests it. We went for Thanksgiving and the special was delicious and very generous. The squash soup was out of this world! And I love that the reservations are now handled through OpenTable, much easier than trying to call them. Overall, it was a great experience (for the 2nd year in a row).

Atmosphere - especially attractive; Service - very accommodating; Servings - generous; Noise - loud but typical for a holiday with the exception that some like to compare their stories and raise their voices to do so. The overall experience was worth it. Altogether the staff and our waiter were courteous to a fault. On leaving we say Cheers! to that.

Albert’s is convenient when visiting the zoo. It’s comfortable, has waitress service and air conditioned. However the food, as is anywhere at the zoo, expensive and poor quality.
