Addison Restaurant

Shaun stands out as the most extraordinary restaurant manager I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. His service wasn't just outstanding—it was genuinely awe-inspiring. As a solo diner, Shaun made an extra effort to ensure I felt incredibly welcomed. His dedication to going above and beyond was evident in his eagerness to share fascinating insights about the kitchen, catering perfectly to my enthusiasm as a food aficionado. While the cuisine at Addison was nothing short of superb, it was Shaun's unparalleled service that elevated the entire experience to divine heights. His warm, understanding, and inviting personality made every interaction memorable. The thoughtful gesture of a sweet little treat upon departure was the cherry on top of a flawlessly coordinated dining experience. Having visited other Michelin-starred establishments, I can confidently place Addison in my top three worldwide dining experiences, largely thanks to Shaun's exceptional touch. Truly, a delightful experience in every sense.

This was one of the best dining experiences that i've ever had. We got the luxury menu which was expensive but worth it to go all out! The dishes are masterpieces, you can tell that they were worked on for a long time and perfected. It was cool how a lot of the courses had table-side pours. "Chips and Dip" was such a fun and unique concept for a fine dining restaurant. One of the things that made this experience even more unique was the kitchen tour, Chef Bradley was so kind and it was very cool to see the kitchen creating these incredible dishes. The service here was insane, it's unlike anywhere else, it was like everyone knew exactly what we needed without us even asking. Every person that we interacted with was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they knew we were going to some other Michelin started restaurants in California on our trip so they told us more cool things about them and they even told the other restaurants to take good care of us, which was so kind of Addison. This was a dining experience that I will treasure forever, it was so luxurious and I can’t recommend it enough. My favorite courses had to be- "Eggs on rice": The most perfect textures and flavors White asparagus with caviar: This was one of the best white asparagus courses i've ever had and the caviar was incredible. It was so cool how chef Bradley came plated part of it tableside. Tom Kha Goong: i've never had a course like this before, so so yummy A5 Wagyu: The best and most tender wagyu i've ever had, the marbleization was insane, loved the tempura fried broccoli

What an unbelievable experience at Southern California's most acclaimed fine dining restaurant. Only 3 MICHELIN-Starred restaurant in Southern Cali. California Gastronomy at its best. Our server Olivier was absolutely amazing. Every dish that came out was absolutely unbelievable. Table side Louie XIII just puts the icing on the cake. It’s been a couple months and I still can’t stop thinking about it and talking about it. If you are looking to have a dining experience that will change your life, then you have to go to Addison! Best birthday dinner ever.

San Diego’s 3 Michelin star restaurant and it unabashedly let’s you know that from the get go. It was a very unique experience with few negatives and many positives. The staff are for the most part very friendly when they are interacting but there seems to be a “robotic” phase for many of them where it’s “serious business”. Not bad but my preference was interaction with the staff as they all have insightful perspectives on their restaurant, area of expertise, and even the local restaurant scene. We ordered the 9 course tasting menu and the food was unmistakably delicious. Very interesting and elevated takes on familiar flavors. The sourdough was the best I’ve ever had and would make the trip there again just for that.

Epic on all fronts. Incredible ambiance, service, and of course food. The incredible flavors, presentation and attention to detail sets Addison a world apart. I was privileged enough to have a 9 course chefs tasting inclusive of caviar, wagyu, truffle and a variety of delicacies from above and below the sea. The A5 Wagyu was absolutely out of this world. Truly a once in a lifetime meal.

My party and I enjoyed a meal at Addison shortly after they received their third Michelin star. The Staff - We were warmly greeted by the hostess upon arriving and led to the fireplace/bar area while our table was being prepared. After being seated at our table, we were taken care of by Patrick and the wait staff. Patrick was a constant professional and ensured we had nothing but the best experience while we progressed through the meal. We were also able to meet Chef Bradley and observe the team in action in the kitchen. Great job by the entire Addison team! Food & Drink - Started off the night by being presented with four champagnes to choose from. Instead of a wine pairing, my party requested a progression of cocktails since we weren't wine connoisseurs. The mixologist made some amazing signature drinks that we enjoyed throughout the meal. The food was delicious, and there was plenty of it! At times, it felt like the food train was never going to end. Overall, we had a great experience! The food was amazing, and the service was at the highest level.

Addison is San Diego's only 3 Star Michelin Restaurant, located at the Fairmont Grand Hotel in Del Mar. Showcasing "California Gastronomy", Chef William Bradley highlights local ingredients which are masterfully cooked. Staff is efficient and professional (although the atmosphere can be a bit intimidating). Definitely a special place worth a visit. Would budget approximately $1,000 per couple for an evening meal and an additional $350 per person if opting for any enhancements (wagyu/caviar/truffle). Given the demand for this restaurant, would recommend writing directly for a table and booking a month in advance.

My experience at Addison was akin to the times I've dined at 3 Michelin star restaurants. They've certainly earned their reputation and more. The menu was expertly composed: some staples like caviar atop a delicious pudding of smoked sabayon and rice, a surprising Tom Kha soup expertly paired with Riesling, a wagyu dish that I'll never forget, and the artful balance (in menu as in within the courses) of their multi-bite appetizer and multi-bite dessert. Not one course failed to impress. I must recommend the wine pairing and upgrading to the wagyu beef course. The restaurant sits a small amount of tables, which provides privacy yet ensures a good ambience... something that other notable restaurants extraordinarily fail (e.g., Joël Robuchon). The service was exemplary. The only comparison that comes to mind is the ballet and elegance I recall from Eleven Madison Park before their renovation. The presentation of the courses and wine pairings were informative, friendly, professional and succinct. To top it off, I was invited to tour their kitchen and meet Chef de Cuisine, Stefani de Palma. Bravo all around. I cannot wait to visit again.

This was our anniversary dinner celebration and we could not have been happier. Everyone was extremely helpful and passionate about their job and making sure we had the best service ever! The tasting menu progressed beautifully and some of my favorites were the Kanpachi Sashimi, the caviar, Iberian Ham and of course the wagyu! The sommelier was fantastic at recommending a wine to pair with our courses and then brought out two lovely red wines to pair with the main tasting. Highly recommend if you love amazing food and superior service.
