Born and raised in San Diego, but first time to Alberts! We have an annual tickets for the zoo and Safari Park and that was the best choice of 2024. We decided to go again tonight to the zoo and Alberts! Our server was amazing. Talk about 10 star service. He was so nice, so caring and really great! We will come back just because of him! The food was good, a little salty, but that will happen at places like this. Otherwise, awesome, we really liked the Ahi tuna and My Husband steak was top-notch. Can’t wait to try brunch!

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.
