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.

    Went to four different places this week while at a conference. Mr A's was overpriced compared to other dining locations offering similar menu items. It is unique in that the planes are landing right in front of you. Service wasn't good. Maybe the waitress was new. Great wine list though. Disappointed on this visit in general. We will likely stick to waterfront places with similar food and much better value and service. Had a better time and experience at all the other places.

    What an amazing experience! As a person who’s younger but was looking for something that not only stood out in ambience, aesthetics, and experience but also food that was just as palatable. Mr. As did not disappoint from the Moment my date and I walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated quickly. Everything from the mussels, to the braised short ribs, lamb and Brussels sprouts was fresh hot and delectable. Our server Grace was very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and was very helpful and attentive but did not hover. Service was excellent. Overall , there is a reason Mr. As has been a go to restaurant for 65 years. Will definitely be back!

    Candle quit working-3 men ignored me. …moved it to the side rather than fix the problem. We sat outside-propane warmers worked well enough. I had to ask to be put on waiting list for my son’s bday. Of course, NO one from restaurant ever called me. I wound up finding reservation on my own. Food needs more seasoning. Gross tapioca mush presented for free bday dessert

    Had an amazing experience at Mister A's. The view was breathtaking. I was nervous it would be too cold but they had the warmers perfectly placed to wear I could even take my jacket off and be comfortable. The service was excellent very attentive. I order the tenderloin with the Gorgonzola crust my steak was cook perfectly. It was pair with almost like a has brown (wasn't my favorite) but I did get a side of their Brussel sprouts and carbonara Mac and cheese so good! Food and experience was worth the price

    Tyrone selected my menu from his extensive knowledge of food and some input I provided. He hit it out of the park with each course. The Marjolaine was out of this world. Louis

    The overall experience was pleasant. Our server was great. The food recommendations were also wonderful. The wine list is expansive. The troubling thing about my visit was the amount of attention provided to my white counterpart at the table. On multiple occasions, wait staff would come to the table and check-in with him without acknowledging or directing the same courtesy toward me.
