This fine-dining restaurant is located on the 12th floor of a financial building located just a few minutes from downtown San Diego. The attractive interior features pale walls, light woods, fresh floral arrangements, and framed artwork. However, diners come here not for the interior, but for the stunning views--the San Diego skyline, Balboa Park, Coronado, and the San Diego Zoo. The outdoor wrap-around patio is an especially romantic spot. Chef de Cuisine Stephane Voitzwinkler and his staff create a wonderful assortment of modern American dishes with French and Mediterranean influences such as Mediterranean-style "Cioppino," Maine lobster strudel, and pan-seared Kobe flat-iron steak. Although the menu changes seasonal, there's no doubt that diners will always have a stellar meal and experience at Mister A's.
