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.

    I always love that Mister A's is consistent in their excellent service, quality of food, and ambience which is not jarringly loud which I get so tired of in other restaurants. Classic and Classy.

    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.
