Restaurants near San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Fabulous food, and service! We will definitely be back!

Upon moving to Albuquerque in 1980 I discovered and enjoyed what was Stuart Anderson's Black Angus a lot. Flash forward these years and several corporate owners (and bankruptcies) and while I've probably changed and aged a bit (sarcasm intended) happy to say that Black Angus is still very good and terrific value-for-money. I haven't lived in one of the areas where they have locations for years so this was almost nostalgic and happy to say that the new look was pleasant and needed and that service, food choices, plating, taste and pricing were all very good. Were I living in the area again, I'm certain that the loyalty program and promotions would make it even better but on a pure a la carte basis, it was a great steak, salad and potato feast.

I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancé) at the Watering Hole yesterday. The staff was AMAZING and very helpful in pulling it off. I had some friends get there early and the staff helped them find a hiding spot for them until I popped the question. They even asked other guests to stay clear of the outlook for me while I did my thing! The bartender also came up to me and asked if I wanted her to take a video of the event. When we got there, they seated us at a table for 2 (despite my reservation for 8 people), to add to the illusion that it was just the two of us. I did the proposal, my friends came out, we celebrated, then the staff brought us over to our large table and already had champaign poured for us! Absolutely amazing staff that were genuinely excited to help me pull off the proposal. 10/10. The only negative thing I can speak to is the communication beforehand. I tried calling them the day before (I know, it was on me that it was last minute, but there were outside circumstances that lead to that), but no one answered the phone. I left a voicemail explaining the situation, but never received a call back. I was especially worried because on the voicemail line it stated any parties of over 6 people, could not be booked through OpenTable, and had to be reserved over the phone. Seeing as though I had a party of 8, I just had to hope for the best. Fortunately, once my friends got there and verified everything, everything went exceptionally.

Loved it!! Vibe was amazing, wine was amazing, food was amazing!

Small intimate venue. Amazing musicians, including some artists presenting original songs. Really enjoyed the evening. This is our second time attending this event. Plan to attend again. Wine was good. Pizza was good.
