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 we love it

Executive chef: Stephane Voitzwinkler

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.

The setting was beautiful but I was very surprised by the service. The food came out quickly but our waitress was nowhere to be seen for ordering drinks or asking for water to be refilled. The bread and cocktails were delicious, the wagyu special that they had on wasn’t very good, the meat had a very odd flavour.

Went during an Aperitif Monday and was very happy with the experience. The Lobster pot pie was perfect. With a rich filling and puff pastry shell it was just right. The ambiance was great too, with music by a solo jazz guitarist. The drinks were good, but there is the house selection of a custom cocktail or glass of wine, with no substitutes. It was a great late afternoon end to our three day Labor Day weekend.
