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.

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. Each day features a distinct culinary highlight. 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. Wednesday celebrates the Wagyu Burger, layered with caramelized onion, smoked bacon, raclette cheese on a house-made bun, served with a vanilla milkshake or a .394 Pale Ale for $25. 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.

    My friend and I were celebrating our birthdays together. From the moment we left our car with valet parking attendant, to the hostess and then our waiter (Izzy), we felt welcome. Because we are elderly, we have experienced condescension in some locations. Not at Mister A’s. Of course the view was gorgeous and the food delicious. I had the most wonderful macadamia crusted filet of sole

    Our server was amazing, unfortunately we forgot his name but his hospitality was amazing. He is from Chicago and wears glasses and had a beard. He was taking care of the outside tables on the night of 7/22. Find him and give him a raise!!!

    The view is amazing. Rooftop dining with San Diego skyline & the airport runway, even more beautiful at night. Service & cocktails exceptional. Food is pricey but well worth it. I was a bit disappointed with the Lion Mane schnitzel, alittle greasy but the salmon wellington & halibut was perfect. Delicious desserts too. Design & decor inside is classy. Next time we would like to try happy hour in the bar. Can't wait to visit again.
