Had a party for 25 at Mr. As and it was a huge disappointment . Very few of our guests liked the food (the bisque was awful), servers were unfriendly and the final straw was when they added on charges to meet our minimum after they had told us two days before the event that our order was above the minimum required. When I disputed, they told me there was nothing they could do. Really? Requested that the owner call me back, which he never did. Will never go back and am telling everyone I know about our experience. Their pompous attitude is unjustified....they aren't that good!

We were not disappointed by picking Bertrand at Mister A's for a celebration of my birthday. It was our first visit to this most famous of San Diego's upscale restaurants. The twelfth floor location at Fifth and Laurel, as promised, provided stunning views of airplane landings at Lindberg Field, the bay, waterfront, downtown skyline, Balboa Park, Mission Hills and more. Arriving a little early we enjoyed sauvignon blanc at a patio table with a view of planes landing. Patio seating was also available for dinner (three sides of the roof area) but we picked an inside-the-restaurant table with a great view of downtown. Our very distinguished waiter Marc was attentive and helpful, perfect. The service was timed to our conversation, never rushed or disruptive and the food was delivered promptly. I have never had better service in a restaurant. Our favorite food all night was the famous truffled fries ($7) with parmigiano regiano, absolutely delicious. One order was more than enough f

Bertrand at Mister A's is a great place to take someone for a romantic evening. The location is amazing, located on top of the treasury building downtown. The food was excellent and the service was attentive. The only negative thing I can say, is that the portions of the food were not particularly large.

I went here with my family but I would rather go with just my husband. It is very romantic. The food and service were just perfect and the view is outstanding!

I was very pleased with my dining experience here. The view was one of the most romantic in all of San Diego and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious and they offered an extensive wine list, which my husband and I enjoyed with the guidance of a very knowledgeable server. The only con I can think of would be the price....it is really a dining experience more suitable for anniversary celebrations and other special occasions. However, if my budget would allow, I would not hesitate to dine here once a week!

Poisoned on Christmas Eve and they didn't care! The waiter/usher was checking out my beau and totally rude to me the whole evening. We ate the same except my appetizer was Lobster petites, Thejealous little creep set me up ! For 3 days I was sick, sick, SICK! We both called to report it. We asked to speak with the owner and left our #'s. Bertrand failed to reurn our calls! I placed a review on the retaurant site....and was shcked to see several stating similar circumstances,,,a few months later I checked again..and ALL BAD REVIEW HAD BEEN HIDDEN! THEY MUST ON THE SITE OR THEIR ADVERTISING $$ MEAN MORE THAN THE TRUTH TO THE PUBLIC DOES. A $400 dinner to waste and so was Christmas until 4 days later!! PROS: Great views you can have elsewhere 1/2 the price and better food CONS: it's definately not the Mr A's of days gone bye-bye-

Though there were no tables for two at the window of George's at the Cove, we were nonetheless in a cozy, pleasant area of the Ocean Room. The waiter's wine suggestion was excellent, getting our Christmas dinner off to a great start. Each course, from date salad to dessert was mouthwateringly good! Service was impeccable, neither rushed nor lagging. The bill was $100 less than we'd paid to another city restaurant the night before for dreadful food and service! We're so glad we spent the holiday at George's!!! Pros: Unique, high quality food; perfect service Cons: None to note

First time I went there was in the late 80's when I was eleven and the maitre'd made me put on a jacket from their coat closet. It was a very proper place back then and surprisingly it was rumored to be owned by the mob. Recently the formality has eased but it is still a very fine restaurant and one should wear a coat though it is not required. Over the last few years we have gone there often for family occasions. Twice I?ve had the Beef Tenderloin with gorgonzola cream sauce. By far my most favorite on the menu. And surprisingly filling. Others in my party have had the duck and the salmon, which I sampled and both were excellent. The appetizers I?ve tried were the Lobster Bisque and the oysters on the half shell, which were served with a delicious cocktail sauce. And I?ve had a number of different salads, each unique with their various accoutrements. My mother said that the foie gras was exceptional though she was upset after I told her how it was made. I for one plan on getting it next time. Sorry PETA I do have to say that I was disappointed in the bouillabaisse which seemed too loaded with mussels and other undesirable fish. Service is excellent and the various staff is attentive and accommodating. Besides the food, the true highlight of Mr. A?s is the panoramic evening views from the dining room. Mr A?s sits a top a building that nears downtown and the airport. The atmosphere is genteel yet the elegant setting is calming and pleasant. If you are in search of a fine dining experience at a classic restaurant then I recommend Mr. A?s. Pros: Food, Atmosphere, View, Service

The Animal Protection and Rescue League asks you to boycott this restaurant to help stop animal cruelty. Mr. A's continues to serve fois gras, the liver of ducks or geese which have endured weeks of force feeding, performed by jamming large metal pipes down their throats and filling them with massive quantities of food. This is the equivalent of forcing a 150 pound human to eat 60 pounds of food per day. The livers of these poor birds swell up to ten times their normal size, inducing a disease that veterinarians call "hepatic lipidosis". These fattened, diseased livers are served as foie gras. Please call Mr. A's and inquire if they are still serving fois gras. If so, then please let them know that you choose to patronize restaurants which do not engage in this horrific cruelty. Your call will make a difference! Cons: Animal cruelty.
