This 3,300 SF dine-in restaurant and grill at San Diego Zoo is a key component of the overall Elephant Odyssey project. Strategically located, this full-service dining venue includes a large (4,500 sf) open-air seating plaza designed to accommodate large gatherings including weddings. The site, on a mesa overlooking the main exhibits, offers unobstructed views of a range of animals including the elephants at play, California Condors soaring from tree to tree, leopards chasing fish in a site-created stream, and many others. The complete catering kitchen supports Zoo-wide events.
