Mister A's San Diego Reviews
Food was fine, although the courses were slow.
The service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter tried his best, but I think he was stretched thin as he was the only waiter on the patio. We went there to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. We received zero acknowledgment aside from when we were first seated. We weren't expecting a free dessert (although that would have been a nice gesture), but the dessert that we did order didn't even have a birthday message. The views are great, but we'll be celebrating elsewhere next time.
The service was outstanding, but I came here specifically
The service was outstanding, but I came here specifically to give a shout out to Christian ... absolute best waiter ... ever. If you visit Mister A's, you will want to ask to be seated at Christian's table. Kind, funny, attentive, a great all around experience.
I'd say this is the best restaurant in San Diego.
Food is amazing. Service is amazing. The atmosphere and views are AMAZING!! There nothing I would change - fantastic!!
Our family went here yesterday for an early Mother's Day
Our family went here yesterday for an early Mother's Day celebration dinner. The service provided was amazing as the server was always attentive and tended to our needs and requests. The quality of the food was great as well which you would expect it to be at this price point. However, you'd be surprised at how many places don't have good quality food even at this price point so I am glad they delivered on taste. I especially liked the Rack of Lamb Provençal and would recommend it to anyone that plans to go here for their next meal. The ambiance as well was very nice and quiet. The music was soft and classy, and the noise level was low enough that you could have a nice conversation without raising your voice. It is important to note that they do uphold a business casual dress code so keep that in mind when you plan to go here. I would recommend this place for any special occasion or celebration.
Service was impeccable.
View at sunset was beautiful and patio heaters made the cool evening enjoyable. Everything from reservations to valet parking was great. Pork belly starter is a must do, along with the fresh butter and bread with Mediterranean Sea salt; so good! Don't miss out on the dessert, and the extensive wine list. This restaurant was well worth the visit!
This is not an inexpensive place.
However, if you're looking to spend a bit of money for a nice evening the views, service and food can't be beat.
We celebrated our final night in San Diego for my best
We celebrated our final night in San Diego for my best friend's bachelorette weekend by going to Mister A's for dinner and it did not disappoint. Immediately as you're walking to you table you're greeted with the impressive skyline view of Downtown SD. Our server Benjamin was attentive and wonderful. He made sure to answer any questions the table had and offered his recommendations when we weren't sure what to order. The Soup Du Jour was French Onion Soup and was delicious. A few of us at the table ordered the Lobster Cacio e Pepe. And we all agreed that it was one of the best meals we've ever had. Overall we were so happy having dined here and the staff were fabulous in helping make out night special! Thank you!
Celebrated my 1st year anniversary here, had a 5:15
Celebrated my 1st year anniversary here, had a 5:15 reservation. Showed up early enjoyed cocktails at the bar. I challenged the bartender to make a drink off the menu and he delivered! Arrived to the table outside had an outstanding veiw of SD. Unfortunately the sun was incredibly blinding. But the staff provided sunglasses!! What a nice touch in my opinion. Our server Ryan was soild! Knowledgable guy knows the menu and the wines alike, we got a bottle of Bordeaux to start and I enjoyed every moment till dessert. Appreciate you guys for taking care of me and my lady! Till next time.

Brought my wife here for our anniversary & we had a GREAT experience! We made reservations, got here early and they sat us down right away. We had the escargot for our appetizer, wife ordered the Lobster Cacio e pepe, I had the 16oz Ribeye & we split the Mac & Cheese. Everything was AMAZING. Lobster & steak were cooked PERFECTLY. The views were amazing. Really a great place for a special occasion. Staff was great and attentive. No complaints at all !

We had an amazing time at Mister A's in celebration of my birthday! The views, customer service and food were amazing! One of my most favorite places in SD, loved it!
A tradition worth repeating
Marvelous view, charming upscale setting and a long prestigious history accompanying this restaurant. Almost everything that is order is good! Very well recommended!
Mixed
Four of us went to Mr. A’s for drinks and bar food on a Tuesday at 3:30. The view is lovely, and so is the place (in a Versailles rather than a SoCal kind of way). The blue chairs are very comfortable. Of course, nothing about Mr. A’s is average. I only gave that number of stars because the good and the bad averaged out. The service was good. The Old Fashioned cocktails were fantastic—and the block of square ice had “A” engraved on it. The food ranged from good to poor. Good: the lobster and cheese sandwich with fries. Poor: the caviar tater tots. They had way too little caviar, and tasted like flavorless mashed potatoes.Also poor: the flavorless arancini with winter truffles and goat cheese. The color was the same as the tater tots—a muddy brown. Very poor: the salt spring mussels. I looked these up, and they are supposed to be plump. These were not plump, they were small and scrawny; and had very little flavor. The prices followed the food. The lobster sandwich was well priced (that is lobster for you). The tater tots, arancini, and mussels were way too small for their inflated prices. These appetizers should be upsized, or their prices downsized. And flavor would help.
Favorite restaurant for birthdays
The decor, the views, the food, the service …it is just layers of wonderful experiences at Mr A’s. The waiter was very knowledgeable about wine in general, and of the wines on the menu. I had the beet salad and duck breast entree. My husband had French onion soup and the Dover sole entree. Everything is plated so beautifully, and the food is delicious.
Perfect place for a holiday brunch!
We had Sunday brunch with the live jazz band playing and it was wonderful. Amazing views in all directions and so cool watching the planes land! Make sure to go during the holidays and try one of the specialty cocktails!
Very pleasant and surprisingly affordable
I was by myself for Saturday jazz brunch, but unlike other places they didn’t try to seat me at the bar or out of the way. I got one of the regular tables outside, but just be aware there is limited shade, at least after 10:30 during DST. There are very affordable items on the menu if you’re worried about the price. I got the beignets that were listed as a starter, but I found them very filling. I forgot my lactase pills, so they made a non-dairy milk punch for me that was still frothy and creamy. The Italian limeade was also good.
VERY RACIST & RUDE & UN-Welcoming
This is one of the worst restaurants I have ever been in the US, very RACIST, unwelcoming, I came with my wife to san diego for my honeymoon, and the manger was very rude, because we are arabs and my wife was wearing a hijab.
A room with a view!
What an incredible view of the city and airplane approaches. The food was amazing and staff was very responsive to your needs. Fine dining at it's finest!
Only one star for the view with mediocre food and bad service
1 star for the view! Terrible service and horrible food! Our first time after being remodeled. Beautiful but too many tables which result in poor service. 1. Old fashioned served on ice cubes, not big ice cube 2. Diluted old fashioned cocktail just poured over big ice cube. 3. Prime rib about to go bad- tasted funny. 4. Check was brought before we requested it. We could not finish the food and did not take a doggy bag. We are not coming back! Cannot explain why is so highly rated.
classic eatery in San Diego
great to show off San Diego if you get to sit on a table by the window near the bar area or outside in the terrace. upsacale food. better for adults than children. if you go with children they tend to sit you far away on a corner.
On top of the world
Excellent experience from start to finish. The welcome, our table presentation, our server, the view, the food preparation, the service... it was all top notch. Mark was a true professional. He was attentive, fun and truly knows his craft. It's wonderful to be treated as individuals and not as a number. We will be return soon! Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Small portions but very fresh and delicious.
The view is what I feel you pay. Date night for 2 and we spend 350$
Great ambiance for a business dinner with customers or a
Great ambiance for a business dinner with customers or a romantic evening with your better half. Had the wagyu ribeye, which was fantastic!
Awesome views and Impeccable service throughout the meal.
Came with my wife's aunt and husband. We split the garden salad and each portion was huge. I had the Burnt Orange Old-Fashioned which is a mixture of rye and Buffalo Trace bourbon aged in a barrel with a carmelized orange mixture over a huge monogrammed ice cube. Loved it. My wife said her scallops were some of the best she ever had. Rack of lamb was good enough. Be sure to wear a collared shirt! They'll turn you away if you're in a t-shirt! Try and sit outside! Valet is $12 otherwise you're parking on the street.
Made a reservation here with my best friend.
It was our first time and heard good things. I called to get help as I couldn't find the valet. The receptionist wasn't very helpful but answered my questions. I told her I tried to find the valet and circled it 7 times. I finally found valet and I was sat immediately. The whole restaurant was empty and they sat me near the door to the patio next to the bar, this is here waiters were constantly walking / talking etc. I was sitting taking in the view when the waitress Tiffany greeted me from behind ... she was rude , looked tired and asked if I wanted the wine list. I said I don't but my friend may want to look at it. I excitedly picked up the menu and asked what she recommended. She replied coldly " I'll tell you and your friend when she arrives" and walked away. We each ordered a drink. I ordered a tequila soda with tajin on the rim. When it came it was flat, the waitress never checked to see how the drinks were. My friend got up and asked the bartender if my drink could be remade . I asked for tequila on the rocks with takin and club soda in a separate cup. The waitress showed up with a glass of tequila and soda on the rocks. She never apologized for the flat drink , when I explained this wasn't what I wanted she was argumentative , it was clear she wasn't trying to help or understand me. I said forget the drink I'll have water. She asked again about the soda and I explained again finally she decided she could understand and came back with what I ordered. She could tell I was upset never asked how to fix it never brought a manager. I looked at my friend and she said let's pay for our drinks and leave. We weren't welcomed when we came and the vibe was off. I wish we had been treated better. We literally came for a good time and I was disappointed we didn't get a cool , nice server. Tiffany literally hates her job and she had the worst energy. On our way out the hostess asked how things were I told her horrible and she asked if there's anything she could do I said no. Ambiance sucked , service sucked, drinks were not good and never tried the food.
Delicious food and great service! Very well worth the price.
Highly recommend the salmon and Brussels sprouts.

I recently dined at Mister A's in San Diego and it was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant boasts an unparalleled view of the city, which added to the already amazing atmosphere.I ordered the Pork Belly, Lobster Pot Pie, and the Mac and Cheese and I have to say, each dish was perfectly executed and delicious. The Pork Belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the Lobster Pot Pie was rich and hearty, and the Mac and Cheese was the ultimate comfort food.But what really made the evening special was our server, Ben. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, and provided top-notch service throughout the meal.Overall, I would highly recommend Mister A's to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in San Diego. The food, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch and definitely deserving of a 5-star rating.

Very nice place to brunch and jazz,With a beautiful view of the downtown and bay...Food is great and the service is amazing
I think the view is great.
The food was just okay for that level of cooking. The service was good. I think it's a nice place to take someone to wow them with the view.
When you come off the elevator, the women at the check-in
When you come off the elevator, the women at the check-in desk are very friendly and accommodating. The manager immediately came over and took us to our table even though we were 25 minutes early. It was about 530 and nobody was there so it was fantastic. Quiet and we felt like we have the whole place to ourselves.Our server, Katrina was amazing. Extremely experienced, professional, and friendly. We had some fantastic oysters, although a little pricey, we loved them. Some comments from my table were the risotto was outstanding, loved the pork belly, the cosmopolitan's are fabulous. Although we ordered rack of lamb medium, it was very very raw. We were having such a good time. I didn't want to send it back. We had a great Pinot noir from the Russian River others at our table loved their margaritas and Negroni's. I did ask for our table of 10 to be seated by the window but instead we were up against the back wall which was a little difficult because there was only one way in and out for the people who are sitting up against the wall.The view is always fabulous. All in all we had a great time.
Wonderful experience celebrating our wedding anniversary.
Every dish was delicious and well prepared. The Pork Belly was both of our favorites. The ambiance was very romantic and classy, unfortunately our reservation happened to be for a rainy, very foggy evening in San Diego, but it was still an overall beautiful atmosphere. Our server Kateryna was very attentive and helpful, as were all the other service staff. We will definitely be back in the future, hopefully when the weather adds to the experience.
A gem that is hard to beat
Haven’t been here since before Covid pandemic. Now remodeled, it is just beautiful. The views are spectacular and the food is outstanding. We brought out of town guests who were blown away by not only the views and food, but by the maitre d, Jerry Capozzelli. He is so full of life and proud of this restaurant that he has been with for 39 years. He gave the 4 of us a tour and was just so enthusiastic and entertaining. He made the night very special and enjoyable for us. Can’t wait to return!
Disspointing
We ate at Mister A's last night to celebrate our Anniversary. I have always wanted to eat there and I was first impressed with the view! Our waitress was cheerful and attentive as was her assistant. Our food was just OK, I ordered the Cod and it was not good at all! My husband ordered the Short Ribs and they were delicious. We had wine and bread as our appetizer. And, ordered the brownie for dessert, also very good. BUT, it would have been nice for the waitress to let us know we were being offered a dessert because of our Anniversary, 2 desserts was too much. I'm not sure our dinner was worth the cost, as it should have been perfect and one of the best dinners ever.... it wasn't.
Just What I Needed
On this solo business trip, I decided to try this restaurant per a recommendation I received while at a conference and I’m so glad I went. I made reservations for myself earlier that day, somewhere between 6 - 7:30p I believe. I got there just in time to watch the sunset. From my experience in the lobby downstairs to the end of service I received, everyone treated me with 5 star service. Once I arrived, they took me to a table inside which is not what I wanted, though I sat down anyways. When the waiter came I asked if I could move and sit outside (I came partially for the views) and he was able to work with the manager to get me a table outside under a heat lamp. My new server was Jessica who was extremely courteous, patient, and knowledgeable of the menu items. I ordered the lobster risotto and Brussel sprouts (see pics). Food was quite good and I was very pleased with the portions although there was more risotto than I could finish. You also get to see planes flying in to the airport close by which was a surprise as I didn’t know that’s where I was. It was a cool experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my solo date night and would definitely go again. I have videos of when night fell but no pics of it
Great food and great view
We went there with our colleagues to cerebrate. We got a perfect table with beautiful view of Dan Diego. The services was great and the food and drinks were perfect. Definitely want to go back again.
VERY RUDE at Fronr desk Never be back
I Live in Texas 75 yr old professional. Heard from many about views and bar so my Sister took me before go to airport. Got there Tuesday and met by hostess who said can't come in there is a wedding, asked to see views no wedding, no drink or c view there is wedding, not accommodating rude. Then lads out maybe manger repeats at least 2 times, then looks at me no hat no tee shirt. I can remove hat but no tee shirt on and she was very rude and almost mean. Sent to mister As but had a limit With all the folks I know in San Diego between my Sister and myself will make sure everyone I know will know not to go to a very rude, snobby rude so called restaurant. I was in the Hospitality business for over 20 years and do know personally so Many owners of most of the BEST restaurants in the country and NEVER treated like this If you wish for a rude experience with a view try this shop, will post and send to my entire mailing list of friends family and 1000s of associates and restaurants Doug Rosensky EMPEROR Exclusive Affiliate of UNITED YACHT SALES Cell : 713-854-4434
Recent complete re-do, just as outstanding
First time dining since the remodel.. four of us wanted to see/taste the difference. First impression - a beautiful, yet subtle, re-do. The elegance, charm, atmosphere is the same quality as it alway has been; service is impeccable, whether you chose the indoor or outdoor areas. An accessible, expansive bar and small eating area is added on the east (Park) side; the former bar is re-configured as a service bar in the west (airport) dining area. We picked an early Sunday evening timeframe, and were promptly seated at a window table overlooking the airport and Bay in time to watch the sun set over Point Loma. Kateryna offered cocktails, and suggested pork belly and beef tartare for appetizers for the table. Yum! Later dinners included salmon, pork chop, scallops, and rack of lamb. All entrees have some vegetables included; we added truffle fries. We had individual glasses of wine off the menu. Every dish was well presented, hot, and delicious. We ended the night with after dinner drinks outside in the lounge area. Elizabeth coached us through the choices, made certain the heaters were stoked, and was sincerely friendly and accommodating. Suggest bringing a sweater or jacket if you're eating on the balcony. I have been a patron of lunches there for years.. not happening right now. Kateryna said management hopes to start brunch weekend service soon.. didn't ask if it was a personnel or service issue. You'll be impressed with the personnel, service, atmosphere, drink, and food here.. and justly so. $$$$$
Wish the food matched the view
We had to ask for a drink for one of the people at our table three times before getting it and that took about 20 minutes. We were at a table with a view but a short wall caused the waiters to bump into the person by the wall every time they came to serve us anything. This was a horrible distraction and uncomfortable for the person sitting in that chair. The tables seem to be crammed in to make more room for more people. Not impressed at all. 3 of us ordered the pork chop. 2 of us thought it was terrible and the other person thought it was okay. This is a very expensive dish to have to throw away because it wasn't good enough to eat at all for 2 of us. When someone came by to ask how things were, and I said just okay, he didn't bother to ask a follow-up question and acted as though everything was great. It wasn't! Whoever thought the color scheme in the bathroom matched is not a designer. I don't know who in their right mind would put the floor tile, with the wall paper, and everything else in the bathroom together and think it looks good. Shocking to me how bad it looks, especially since it was just remodeled. The only good thing I have to say is that the beet salad was good and definitely for 2-3 people as the price would indicate (expensive so it better be large). Not sure I will be back any time soon. The view is great but too bad the food and the service didn't come close to matching the view.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mister A's San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mister A's San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Mister A's San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mister A's San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
