Kimberly QJune 21, 2015Definitely 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 ZooMay 20, 2011Albert'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 YangJune 12, 2021Best 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 BisangApril 21, 2013My kids hated the Mac and cheese. It is very cool and beautiful on the outside deck. Fish sandwich and salads were great!
Jill McCluneAugust 22, 2017In and outdoor seating away from the crowds. Beautiful waterfall. Food flavor and variety quite good.
Katie HollidayJune 30, 2011Very few vegetarian/vegan choices. The portobella sandwich was served with cheese and fries, but delicious just the same. Sourdough rolls to die for.
Rob Mc CulloughJuly 3, 2013Food 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 KAugust 23, 2013Fries are beer battered and delicious. OMG they are like crack, couldn't stop eating them.
Vicki SellerJanuary 21, 2019Nice 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.
Daniel H.September 19, 2013The manager here is amazing. What excellent service, from the top on down!
I've had a lot of Cobb Salads in my life ... But Albert's Cobb is one of the best!!
- JoshMay 31, 2010Rolls are great and the scene is better then all those loud child filled buffet style places :-) had pizza its great :-)
- Blaine MorganDecember 29, 2010I agree with the roll recommendation. Had the artichokes and they were great!
Susan ArcherAugust 3, 2011Its awful and service stinks....dont waste your time or money. Pasta over done and tasteless, salads with bad produce.
Ekaterina VasilyevaJune 26, 2019Ресторан оказался на удивление отличным, несмотря на то, что расположен в зоопарке, цены адекватные. Очень понравились кольца кальмаров-нежнейшие и отличный стейк был от шефа

"Alberts is the best restaurant. Treehouse is the second best at the zoo. You really are kind of in a treehouse on the back patio."
Dawn Thomas - 7.1
"Mangabeys, mandrills, and guenons, oh my! There are 7 different species of monkeys along Monkey Trail, and they are always busy grooming, playing, eating, sunbathing, squabbling – and watching you!"

"Good food and service. This is a great place to dine with family and friends. The menu changes for what's in season which I feel is refreshing. A must dine experience."

"The Tasting Menu is well-worth $72. The four fully-satisfying, locally-inspired creations by Chef @TreyFoshee are clever, innovative & taste-tittilating in a non-pretentious fine-dining environment!"
