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.

    A Culinary Paradise: An Unforgettable Experience at Mister A’s From the moment we stepped into Mister A’s, we were transported to a realm of culinary perfection. Every element of this establishment is nothing short of extraordinary, creating an unparalleled dining experience. From our first order to our final goodbye, every detail was a symphony of excellence. Service: The service at Mister A’s is nothing less than world-class. The staff is warm, attentive, and impeccably professional, striking the perfect balance between friendliness and discretion. Every request was met with enthusiasm and precision, enhancing the sense of being truly cared for throughout our meal. Ambience and View: The ambience of Mister A’s is an artful blend of elegance and comfort. The decor radiates sophistication, yet it feels inviting and relaxing.

The shrimp were flawlessly cooked, tender yet robust, with a medley of bold Creole spices that sang with flavor. The heirloom grits were a creamy, velvety dream, their delicate texture providi
