    Scallops and brussel sprouts were excellent. The tenderloin was too close to medium. When ordering emphasize the “rare” of “medium rare”. Wine selection was excellent and the liquor selection was very tempting across the menu. Service was quiet, courteous, efficient, and helpful.

    Lovely atmosphere and very nice service. We've had brunch there twice which I love. I do think some nice bread/butter even a pastry or fresh fruit would be nice with the entrees. Raise the prices a bit for each entree. I do not think these minor sides should be a separate "item".

    We just love Mister A’s! This is our second year in a row to celebrate our Anniversary! Last night was a special one, 10 years!! Thanks for making our night and memories here! Also, we had the baguette, French onion soup, short rib(delish) truffle fries, truffle Mac and cheese, and the passion fruit dessert! All of it was amazing!

    Enjoyed Sunday brunch with family. The al la carte menu included a perfect mix of interesting options for the adults. A bit disappointed that the kids menu was exclusively lunch items and since the kids wanted typical "kid breakfast" we chose the very nice donuts and pastries from the adult menu. Service and food were great; view is outstanding.

    Had a wonderful meal. Decided to eat in the bar as it was cozier and festive. Bartender Roman was outstanding as well as the waitstaff. Glad to know we can always come early as a walk in at the bar. Prime rib was marginal.

    The menu was limited and nothing we couldn't have gotten at any other nice restaurant. The service was decent, but expected. Food was average for what we paid. The ambience was the best part of our experience. With so many other choices at this proce point, I doubt we will return.

    Our first time at Mister A's, for our Thanksgiving dinner. The staff and service was outstanding, Menu was 3 course dinner. Everyone loved their selection, I chose the turkey which was a bit on the dry side. I prefer my turkey to be moist and flavorful. Everyone else was quite happy with what they selected. At 92.00 pp, it should have included all the sides, an additional cost. They only had 1 Bartender, a bit of a wait for drinks. All in all, it was a very pleasant dinner. Great views of the city.

Each diner had nothing but delight with their choices and we shared bites all around. Pre dinner drinks were very enjoyable, and wine complimented our meals. Ramon provided patient and informative and timely service. We were greeted with a welcoming smile from the hostess at the reception desk and departed with one as well. All in all, a most excellent venue to celebrate a moment in life or pamper yourself & friends.

    Went to the jazz brunch experience with two girlfriends and had a blast. The staff was super accommodating and the musicians were great. I had the dirty rice with shrimp (it was just ok and the portion was small) that came with skillet cornbread, which was amazing. My friends split the prime burger and the lobster salad. They ordered the burger medium, and it came out pretty pink. They were too nice to mention it to the server. The cocktails were great, the whiskey orange tang one was amazing, it tasted just like a creamsicle. The first one I had was ok, it was a mezcal, chamoy and watermelon concoction. My friend said her Moscow mule was the best she’s had in awhile (she is picky). The creole Bloody Mary my other friend ordered was an interesting take on a Bloody Mary, and I loved how flavorful it was. Service was great.
