Mister A's is the penthouse, fine-dining destination of San Diego, and has been for over 50 years. Located just a few minutes from downtown, you will take the elevator to the top floor and look back out over jetliners sweeping past at eye level, the San Diego skyline, bay and Pacific, while enjoying Modern American cuisine, hand-crafted cocktails, and one of Wine Spectator's top-rated wine lists in the country. The culinary staff hand-selects local farm produce and the highest quality ingredients in every category to offer you selections that are made from scratch in house for brunch, lunch, dinner.. or simply the finest rooftop drinks and appetizers in town.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Stephane Voitzwinkler

From the OpenTable editors: This plush penthouse escape—open since 1965—reached new heights after a dramatic redesign. Thanks to a freshly added lounge, diners have better access to its skyline views. The French-American restaurant highlights local produce in throwback dishes like grilled blue prawns with charred shishitos and pan-roasted Alaskan halibut with corn.

    My table assistant was exceptional and a very hard worker. My main server (Israel V) was lack luster and created an uncomfortable feeling at the table. There was no introductory greeting from him, he did not introduce himself to the table as our main server. We requested to keep our cocktail menu on the table, he refused. There was honestly so many mistakes in Israel’s cycles of service that I would like a manager to contact me directly. He had a rhythm with his tables that wasn’t impressive or the norm based on any of my Mister A’s dinners. I had Chilean Seabass and the sides were carrots and 1 fingerling potato. I have had 12 dinners at Mister A’s in my history with the restaurant and last nights meal and service was the least impressive.

    Mr. A’s is truly a gem, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We opted for outdoor seating, and I can’t recommend it enough. The ambiance was stunning—a perfect mix of elegance and comfort. Even in December, the heaters kept us cozy and warm, making the experience magical. I’ll be choosing outdoor seating every time from now on! From start to finish, the service was impeccable. Our waiter was not only friendly and attentive but seemed to anticipate our needs before we even had to ask. The food arrived in perfect timing—fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. That said, Mr. A’s is far too incredible to save just for special occasions. I’m already planning my next visit. This is “THE” place to go. Trust me—it’s worth it!

    Service was excellent but food was only average. I had a Mister A's sandwich, but it came as two open face sections that were too large to put together as a sandwich. I ate them as open faced sandwiches with a knife and fork. It wasn't bad,just not what I expected. My wife enjoyed her eggs Benedict.

    Our server was great, she was warm and friendly. The duck was nothing extraordinary for the price they charge. The Rib Eye was cooked delicious and the artichokes as well. This is a great restaurant but they need to improve on the duck and the desserts, too expensive and not that remarkable. We tend to skip dessert and go to Extraordinary desserts afterwards for Tea and a cake or other
