    Beautiful setting especially on the patio by the waterfall. Waited 20 minutes to be seated with a 1PM lunch reservation. Excellent service - friendly, helpful & kind - very attentive. Food was good but pricey for simple dishes, portions small to moderate. Fabulous white chocolate cheesecake.

    The hostesses, Grace & Mildred, were very pleasant and accommodating with our request to sit on the patio near the waterfall. We were early for our reservation and expected to wait the 30 till our time. The ladies were very sweet and ended up seating us after only 5-10 minutes. As usual, the food was excellent (not the usual theme park/zoo type food). I had the cheesy garlic bread with tomato pesto and citrus chicken wings and my daughter had the Cauliflower Fried Rice. All items were perfectly cooked. The cheesy garlic bread is my favorite, crispy crust and soft center sections. Theresa, our server, was excellent. I highly recommend reservations and go early. They get very busy throughout the day. We live in Arizona and only get there once a year, and so Albert's has become a traditional place for us to visit.
