Rooftop Dining at Bertrand's @ Mr A's

For all you "foodies" out there, this post is especially for you.

When I am at my San Diego home, one of my favorite restaurants is Bertrand's at Mr A's. Located on the top floor of a building on a hill, it has one of the best views in San Diego. When it's warm enough, I like to dine outside on the roof deck, which wraps around the main dining room. Being a semi-regular there, I request "my usual table", which has the birds eye view of downtown, the harbor, Point Loma and Coronado.

After a bottle of wine watching the sun set, I decided it was time to order dinner.

The service at Bertrand's is always top drawer. They are very attentive and anticipate your needs.
