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.

    We go to Mr A’s yearly to celebrate our anniversary. Food has always been exceptional except last night it was far from it. The rack of lamb was bland and the 4 chops were the smallest I’ve ever seen. Had one bite of meat from each and what was left was fatty. Potatoes were bland as well. The bread came burnt so returned and next serving was better. The table next to us complained that their steaks were not cooked as ordered so possibly an off night for the chef. Not sure we will continue celebrating our anniversary there. Too expensive to take a chance to be so disappointed again.

    I expect high menu prices at Mr. A's. That isn't a concern if you get value for the price. I ordered the duck breast with asparagus substituted for the potatoes. I received a plate with two 3-1/2" by 3/4" pieces of duck and two asparagus. It was not even a whole duck breast. That meager, sad little plate of food for $42.50!!! I do not appreciate being ripped off like that. And, the manager had the temerity to explain that this is the European way -- small portions. I guess he didn't see the huge slab of beef on my wife's plate. Quite American. We have been going to Mr. A's for years for special occasions. That ends now. I will no longer even recommend it my friends and family. Shame on you, Mr. A's.

    It had been 18 years since my last dinner at Mister A’s, which I recall asa a top experience. This dinner beat that! The renovations are fantastic, service superb and professional ( maitre D to server) as well as accommodating, and the food ( and value) was the best in town. Thank you for making my anniversary dinner, compete with window seat, sunset view, and complimentary anniversary brownie dessert.

    The food was incredible, the service was on point, and we had the best SD skyline view. We ordered the seabass, lobster, caesar salad, and brussels sprouts - The ambiance is always inviting.

    We came here to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and the whole experience here, ESPECIALLY the customer service was 10/10 across the board. The presentation the whole night was beautiful. We had such a beautiful view of all of San Diego. Thank you to Wendy and everyone at Mister A’s for making this such a special and memorable night! We absolutely are over the moon!
