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.

    Lovely dinner on the outside patio. It was very comfortable with heat lamps even in December. Excellent service and delicious food. The warm pumpkin butter cake was to die for. 10/10 Highly recommend

    Mr A’s is a Christmas tradition for us and it never disappoints. It was busy but all of the staff were wonderful. They worked together like a well oiled machine. From cocktails to desert everything looked and tasted fantastic. Wendy was our wait person and I can only describe her as a rock star. She was working several tables without skipping a beat. She was cool and calm, friendly and helpful, all done with a smile on her face. All in all in was a great dinner. Than you Mr A’s.

    What a wonderful place to be on Christmas day( Fantastic fixed menu, fantastic drinks and what a very attentive staff from front desk to service. I want to thank Bill, my server for the evening and all the wonderful team members who worked on Christmas day to make someone else s day special. The view from any point of view is breathtaking. The chef and team should take a bow for the menu and the bartender for a wonderful mango Durango cocktail. What a gem of a restaurant, so classy, so chic so special. Keep up the great 5 Star service. I also appreciate the many times the manager and staff checked on a single woman. I felt so special.
