Good food. Had the chicken sandwich and my husband got the Quesabirria tacos. Both were delicious! Restaurant wasn’t busy when we went and had a nice table by the window with a waterfall outside.

Food was absolutely delicious. Was not expecting such high quality. Chicken piccata was wonderful but my daughter’s steak salad was AMAZING. The flourless chocolate torte - OH. MY. GOD. Have never tasted anything so decadent. A must have! Breanna was a wonderful and attentive server. Appreciated her.

What a lovely place to eat, reasonably priced. That area of the zoo has many trees and water features which makes the restaurant unique in San Diego. We had a great time.

A beautiful and quiet find in an awesome place in the world! The San Diego Zoo is incredible and although many people are in the park, this place is not in a place where the average person runs into it, so it’s not constantly packed. Our server was excellent and the ambiance with the zoo all around is perfect!
