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.

    Offered Sunday through Wednesday from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM, Apéritif at Mister A’s is a weekday early-evening experience designed to help guests unwind, indulge, and savor. Inspired by the European tradition of enjoying a light pre-dinner drink or small meal, this offering pairs signature dishes with curated beverages at a remarkable value—available exclusively in our Bar & Lounge, with one offering per guest.

On Sunday, guests can enjoy our Prime Rib Roast—a 12 oz cut served with a baked potato, scallion cream, and carrot glacé—paired with a glass of wine for $55. Monday brings the Maine Lobster Roll, nestled in house-made brioche with lemon aioli and Yukon gold potato chips, served with a cocktail or local beer for $30. Tuesday Toast invites guests to sample Mister A’s classics, featuring a duo ($20) or trio ($25) of Caesar salad, truffle fries, and a classic martini—with the option to upgrade to caviar fries for an additional $20.

Guests may add booze to their shake for an extra $7.50. To finish on a sweet note, we offer a Tiramisu Shot—a delightful combination of marsala, mascarpone mousse, and biscuit—for just $5. A 4% surcharge is added to help provide competitive wages and healthcare for our full-time employees, and a 21% service charge will be applied to groups of seven or more.

    What an amazing experience! The food was really good and our waiter Bryan was kind and attentive as well as informative. If you are ordering the sides to share come with an appetite! They are huge and more than enough food for you and your guest. I highly recommend the outside seating as the view is beautiful and amazing. They have plenty of outdoor heating to accommodate every single table. Mr. A’s is a must!!

    Matthew was outstanding! He provided clear information about both drinks and food choices. Loved the food, and the ambience was great. It had been “forever “ since I had a lunch at Mister A’s and the improvements to the decor was just outstanding. We would definitely return—-especially if Matthew was our waiter again.

    This was my 2nd time at this restaurant. The first time was great but this time it was not. Service was not good. Celebrating my birthday and they did not acknowledge my birthday at all. Service levels were poor and the food was just ok.

    Honestly, this was a horrible experience, the service was very disappointing. Our waitress did not check on us even one time, and she was very rude and kind of weird as well. The food was cold. The steak was undercooked and also completely tasteless. The mashed potatoes were bland, and the fries were worse than fast food, they gave us the crumbs from the bottom of their fryer. The view is amazing, but other than that I would not come here again. 1 star experience.

    First time we had bad service here. The server tried to charge us for an additional bottle of mineral water though they never brought it and was really rude about it, on 500$ bill.

    Often a restaurant with an incredible views is overpriced which not such great food… this is not the case with Mister A’s. Great service, interesting menu, and delicious food. All with stunning views of San Diego, the Bay and the Pacific. Pricey but not outrageous. This is a special spot for a fantastic meal!
