    We had a great lunch date at Seneca. We started with the olives and caviar. After that we had a pizza and some linguine with clams. Everything was tasty and great. The service was excellent. The views from the rooftop are great. We highly recommend Seneca.

    I make it a point to dine at Albert's each time I visit the Zoo. I had the Cobb Salad with Salmon add-on. The food did not disappoint. My server George was attentive and cordial. Prices are $$ but they ease of booking on open table makes this a great choice while enjoying the Zoo.

    We always have a great experience at Prado. The salads are delicious and you can add shrimp, salmon or chicken. The hamburger is huge and the fries are so good. I love the Arugula salad with salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. My husband had the shrimp cobb salad that was very large and filling. We enjoy having a nice glass of wine while soaking up the lovely view from the patio and the warm sunshine. We'll be back soon.

    Four picky gals had many questions. All were handled well and cheerfully. Then came delicious non alcoholic drinks, well worth 9 bucks, and interesting and tasty food.
