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.

    Very respectful place with gorgeous food and stunning views to match. Seems like you’d always be surrounded by people celebrating a good time, so the spirits are high. Celebrated an anniversary on my visit and they generously brought us a dessert. They were also able to accommodate a vegan meal for me.

    You can't go wrong -- fantastic views, great food, outstanding service. Checks all the boxes. A top restauraunt, one of the best in San Diego, that makes for a memorable occasion. One note that may be helpful: we went for Jazz brunch on a Saturday, and despite the band playing in the bar, the volume was just right and we could easily hear each other speak.

    Our server Mark was phenomenal; professional, attentive & fun. The food was delicious; the duck was perfectly cooked, the escargot was excellent, and the pumpkin butter cake was a perfect dessert. We had a wonderful time.
