Albert's Restaurant

"Fine Dining at the San Diego Zoo"

If you are looking for a fancier meal-without giant lion head beverage cups-then head to Albert’s Restaurant. I enjoy splurging on a meal (even while at the zoo), if it means I get to rest my tired footsies and let the waiter do all the work. The food is good, but know you’re mostly paying for the rainforest ambience.
There kids menu is standard: fancy macaroni and cheese and pizza. I've loved my entrees when we've gone, but some of my companions were not as thrilled with theirs.
The best seats are out on the deck by the waterfall; call ahead to reserve those tables. They have been offering 10% off coupons with your maps as you enter.
