Menu
Ate there for dinner. Great atmosphere, great food. But it took them an hour to bring our appetizer out, and another 20 minutes to bring out our entree. We also ate there for breakfast. Breakfast buffet selection is very good. I ordered food from the menu. Service time was much better compared to dinner time.
Wonderful atmosphere, service, food and wine. Anna, the restaurant supervisor, was so accommodating and pleasant. Our waiter Alex was great as well. We’ve already been back!
Literally coming back just for the live music. Service was also excellent and the food was really nice. Definitely recommend for a date night!
Our servers were very accommodating, one offered to cut the steak for a resident which was very helpful. Two of our dinner guests were vegetarian and both ordered the veggie burger, it was out of this world! $40 for a prime rib was a bit pricey but delicious! Would definitely come back again and recommend ALBACA to friends!
Recibieron a nuestra familia en la primera comida del año. Porciones justas y buen servicio.
My daughter and I had a delicious meal! The staff were extremely nice, and the food was exceptional! The views were amazing!
Had a lovely meal and enjoyed the live music. We’ll be back
Great outdoor patio with incredible views. Creative menu, but almost too creative in places.
Beautiful setting! We took our dog and they were soo sweet to him!
Dinner was great, service was great, then we ordered after dinner coffee. It was cold, our server made it right but why would a restaurant keep their coffee off a warmer? Our server didn’t know and apologized. I don’t believe it’s our server’s fault.
Sergio our waiter did an excellent job and added to a very nice breakfast with good food and ambiance
Enjoyed lunch here - sitting outside with the views of diwntown San Diego is the way to go. The bar area inside is also relaxing with a good vibe. Service was on point and the lunch bowls are fabulous.
Outstanding food and service, bonus when staying at the hotel.
Food was great and Daniel provided excellent service. He had some great wit as well 😊.
Excellently crafted dishes and world class service.
The two of us who ordered chicken dishes were extremely disappointed. Clearly not fresh and not prepared properly. The location of the restaurant would leave one to believe it should be a great restaurant, but not the case at all. Needs new ownership or management. They could do so much more with the great location/view. I would also recommend relocating the pool instead of it and the kids who enjoy it being located between the dining area and the view of San Diego.
My reservation through open table wasn’t registered or they didn’t receive somehow but luckily they had available seats. It was a great experience otherwise.
We live close by and come here often. The surroundings are beautiful, the servers are friendly and efficient. The food is not good. Hotel food is always hot or miss but this Albaca menu is pretty bad - and very odd. Avocado and yogurt drizzled with olive oil for breakfast? And just how do you serve bad Mexican food here?
Do yourself a favor and stick to basic dishes... the Islander Breakfast, or buffet in the mornings and the burger, salads or Fish and Chips the rest of the time. We don’t usually eat that way , but it’s the only way to be happy here. Come for a drink or two and eat a basic meal... enjoy the staff (many of whom have been here for decades and are all so charming) and look out at the bay and city beyond.
It could be much, MUCH better, but it’s pretty good.
A++, Awesome Service, excellent staff, incredible views. Good eats
The service for our waiter was horrible he needs much training. we felt like the forgotten table finally Gustapho excellent service manager came to rescue and corrected the situation . We paid our $50 per person and had several drinks but only after asking. I realize it was a buffet however we should not have to track down our waiter to attend to our drinks. I have the service amangers card and will correct
The spelling to make sure he is recognized for excellent attention. Great
Reastuarant their total per table would be much higher if they paid attention to their customers .
Nice to sit outside! Nice remodel from a few years ago.
Very great food! Very unique!
