When your restaurant is slated as having one of the best views in the country, and your reputation precedes you in every write-up on the city's eateries, you had better back up the claims. Luckily for Bertrand at Mister A's, it does. Sitting literally atop downtown San Diego, the first thing a patron of this amazing establishment is going to feel is above the rest, and this is no accident. While you gaze out over the lights of downtown reaching all the way to the ocean, you realize you are not here to simply eat, you are here to experience. Bertrand at Mister A's is a venue that recalls to mind the time when people dressed up for dinner and made it an event, not just a means to an end. The decor, the staff, the service, and the presentation of this grand locale is enough to remind you that even in a town favoring beachwear year round, there are still standards to be had and standards to far exceed.

When you've just wrapped up a night on the town, you can get the munchies. And oftentimes, that happens pretty late at night.
