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.

    Everything was absolutely wonderful. Starting with a special request and the server’s excellent vibe and knowledge of the food and her craft. The chefs must have their stuff down because every dish was perfectly executed and came out right on time. Table of 6 for a birthday and all dreamed of the food for days to come.

    The ambiance and view is great. We enjoyed and our server was good. Our only complaint was that we waited forever for our cocktails. Then the food was also very slow. They did have a couple large parties but they know how many guests they have booked so that isn’t a reason to keep people waiting for their food

    The service was excellent- always around, never bothersome. The food was outstanding- quality wise as well as the menu choices. For me it’s the best night time view in the city! It’s a wonderful location for special occasions!
