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.

    Overrated and underwhelming. Trying too hard to get elaborate, steaks were almost unchewable, bad cuts and not tender in any way. No house snacks, bread rolls, etc.. no value for price.

    Enjoyed Sunday brunch on a beautiful San Diego February day. Menu interesting and varied; we found the “breakfast croissant” and one of the eggs Benedict choices very tasty but not outstanding—not close to the level of our favorite Michelin-starred restaurants. Service friendly, courteous, knowledgeable. Allow time for a leisurely meal while enjoying the marvelous view (including incoming airliners on final approach nearly at table level!). We will keep Mr. A’s in the rotation for special occasions.

    Mister As is a fantastic spot for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. The ambiance is wonderful, and the top view of the city is stunning, especially with planes flying in. It really makes you feel like you're being treated to something special. My husband and I had a great time here. We started with a few appetizers: the US wagyu tartare, tuna crudo, goat cheese stuffed figs, and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and packed with flavor. However, during our main course, both of us started feeling a bit unwell. We're usually pretty adventurous eaters, so it was odd for us to experience any discomfort. We're not sure if it was the tartare or crudo, but unfortunately, we couldn't finish our ribeye steak because our stomachs weren't up to it. Hopefully, it was just a one-time issue. The prices are definitely on the higher side, making it more of a splurge than a regular outing. The wine selection is extensive, though it felt a bit limited in certain categories. The staff, however, was amazing—very helpful in recommending dishes and providing insight. It's also a bit noisy, but the atmosphere is still very enjoyable. Overall, it's a beautiful place to dine, and I’d definitely recommend it for special events, just be cautious with the raw dishes. We’d still return for sure!
