With a great view of downtown San Diego and out to Point Loma, Mister A's is definitely worth the trip. The food was very classically well-prepared and served, but in our case the service was off leaving us waiting far too long at almost every stage of the meal.

So happy this place is returning to its roots - offering a wonderful level of service and fantastic food, and soon to return to some of the stately elegance it once had with the planned interior decor restoration in the near future. My Dad used to take my brother and me here as children in the late 1980s but he had felt it wasn't the same when it changed hands and stopped coming to eat here over the years. We decided to bring him here to celebrate his birthday. This new Mr. A's really helped make it even more special and has won him back as a future customer. We ate a delicious brunch on the outdoor patio and enjoyed the beautiful views but wished there was some type of physical structure/overhang for shade (I know, the flight path for San Diego International Airport prohibits adding umbrellas)...it was hot and sunny up there but the breeze was nice! Our server Azrael (who was awesome, by the way) even let my dad borrow his personal sunglasses for a while. Thank you!

College graduation! Asked for best table & they delivered. Surprise complimentary desert was wonderful. The chef delivered-each meal was deliciously on point. Waiter knew & was happy to explain every detail of the drink food & desert menu. We were running late but we called to explain the traffic near convention center held us up; her comments put undue pressure on our evening. We just figured we’d move on but they were delighted to have us stay for desert. Who would need our table @ 9 pm anyways; they close at 10. It was mobbed due to sunset! Enjoy!

We've been coming to Mr. A's for many years and haven't been there in a few with the pandemic. Came last night for my birthday and it was the best setting I could have asked for. Not only was there an amazing and clear view of the city, but the staff were delightful and smiley and the food was superb. Setting was lovely and we never felt rushed as we sat to enjoy the sunset and the city lighting up. I cannot wait to return again soon. It's my "go to" spot......and I always feel welcome there.

Food is nothing too extraordinary, but solidly executed and reasonably priced. The view is amazing (both the sunset and the buildings at night) and the service is excellent. Overall, it was a great experience and I would bring any guests from out of town for a dinner here.

Mother's Day brunch is typically expensive but Mr. A's found a way to make it really expensive. Between the $12 dollar bottled waters that they kept pouring and the a la carte add-ons, tip and tax the bill was over 5 hundred for 4 people. Food was too salty but prepared well. You are paying for the view and the service was just typicall, nothing special. There are better places around town for sure.
