The Rotunda is the room people picture when they picture Mister A’s. Curved windows wrap the space from floor to ceiling, a chandelier hangs from a painted dome overhead, and the downtown San Diego skyline sits just beyond the glass. It is the restaurant’s most requested private room, seating up to 28 guests with direct access to the outdoor patio.
The Rotunda’s curve is what makes it work. Rather than pointing every guest in one direction, the room bends around the windows so the skyline, the bay and the aircraft on approach to San Diego International are visible from nearly every seat. At sunset the room does most of the decorating for you.
The Rotunda opens directly onto the outdoor patio, available for an additional fee. That adjacency is why so many hosts book it: a cocktail reception outside as guests arrive, dinner inside as the light goes, then mignardises and after-dinner drinks back on the patio.
Audio/visual cannot be accommodated in the Rotunda. If your event needs a screen or a microphone, the Blue Room is the room to ask about, and it supports A/V for groups up to 16. Amplified music, DJs and live bands are not permitted anywhere at Mister A’s without prior approval.
