Lora DiCarlo
Really nice guy Matt at the counter, but overall was pretty bad. When asked for the Cabernet he said they can’t serve it, even though it was right there on the counter, but he didn’t know why (then put it away at least, bruh?). Opted for the white because, why hassle the kid when he’s just doing his job? Well… He didn’t know how to pour a glass of wine; literally gave me a 2.5oz pour (when they serve 16oz cans of beer) because the bottle ran out. Didn’t bother to open another and fill it properly or say anything about it, but charged us $9 for the pour anyway. My partner and I were too amused to be upset, and we made a couple friendly remarks at the pour but he just stared at us blankly, utterly clueless.

Nice little restaurant at the zoo. You could not ask too much at the restaurants inside the zoo. The food was average but pricey for its value. My kid only ate half of its cheese quesadilla.

Ok, this place is expensive. However, their chicken tenders are hand breaded and delicious. My kids love these tenders almost as much as the exhibits at the zoo.

Really quite good for a snack bar at a zoo. As strange as it sounds, the hot dog was really top notch, and the burger was solid even if rather simple. Polite staff and our food was prepared quickly. Great place to grab a bite in the Living Desert Zoo!

Not many options for food so I got the nachos, and they were your typical nachos, just chips and cheese.
