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.

    We made res 2 months in advance for the Sat after Valentines Day. We arrived promptly at 6:25 for 6:30 res. First they tried to seat us right in front of the noisy main room bar, with the cocktail shakers going wild and waiters scurrying back and forth. Then they tried to seat us in the back at a table pushed up against the service/waiters' station. Finally we settled for a table in the bar. Not at all what we hd in mind for a lovely dinner out. We have gone there in the past with better luck, and I realize it was a busy night, but really. They should not overbook their restaurant so terribly, even in the name of profit.

    First impression when we walked in the hostess was very snooty and rude.  Ambience was beautiful. ordered the lamb chops. The waitress said came with 4 to 6. I was gonna share it with my husband and get another entrée and it came with only three so we each got one and a half wish she could’ve been a little more .  Food was good but not outstanding.

    We hadn’t been to Mr. A’s in a quite a few years. The service and food was excellent, but we were very surprised to pay a 20% service charge for two people.

    Mister A's did not disappoint for their prix fixe Valentine's Day dinner, and our server Wendy was a delight! While I went with French Onion soup, scallops, and a filet, the menu options were varied for different tastes including vegetarian. My husband enjoyed the shrimp and crab cocktail and Chilean Sea Bass. Delicious! We'll be back for the Jazz brunch.

    Visiting our daughter from Chicago for the week. Mister As did not disappoint. The ambiance, food and service was exceptional. Izzy was engaging and attentive to assure our dining experience was extraordinary. We were seated w a beautiful view of the ocean. Everything was brought out at a timely manner and we never felt rushed. Best Caesar salad w every leaf laced w dressing . The king salmon Wellington was unlike any salmon I’ve ever tried. The braised short rib was flavorful n simply superb (not fatty). The rack of lamb along w lamb stuffed cherry tomatoes was also delicious. There r so many fine restaurants in SD, but this by far one to revisit for us.
