    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!

    Server was super nice and sociable, gave great recommendations for both food and places to visit after our meal. Ambience was wonderful, not too loud but didn’t feel empty either. Great food and experience overall. Would recommended the fried layered potato.

    I guess this is my 5th times @ InsideOut, during my birthday; Thanksgiving; regular days without occasion & this is our first time for Holidays Oasis Experience with my husband. It was beautiful experience especially the ambiance was so fantastic, our server Jonathan, he’s so great. The food kind salty (oven chicken) but the filet mignon was so good very tasty tender, and juicy it was perfect, my husband love it so much that his favorite. It’s 10 score for me. I love the place and definitely is a must to come back and highly recommend 😘

    Another magical Christmas celebration with girlfriends at Mister A's! Excellent food and service as usual. The views are spectacular, too, and we had a beautiful day. My only complaint is that there are only a couple of salads to choose from on the lunch menu. It would be nice to include a few more options. Otherwise, it was excellent!
