ADDISON BY WILLIAM BRADLEY

Addison in San Diego delivered a truly world class dining experience. The space is calm and spacious, with Southern California architecture and interiors that feel warm, grounded, and intentional. Lighting is perfectly balanced, softly illuminating each course and gently reflecting off the white tablecloths, which made the entire meal feel relaxed and unhurried. Tables are well spaced, so conversations feel private, with only subtle ambient music in the background. We enjoyed the 10 course tasting menu with the wagyu and Italian white truffle add ons. Every dish was beautifully presented on custom plates with thoughtfully chosen utensils. Flavor wise, every course was exceptional, easily a 10 across the board. Portions were generous, and we left comfortably full. Ingredients felt incredib

Overall, AMAZING! Beautiful place to celebrate a special occasion. It will be memorable and worth it! I've been fortunate enough to dine at many Michelin star restaurants and the service and atmosphere is definitely what you would expect. In terms of the food, everything ranged from good to delicious, but nothing stood out as exceptional and unique. I would say it was closer to a 2 star than a 3. Aside from a few inspirations from Mexico, I would say the Winter seasonal menu leaned more Asian fusion. Favorite dishes were: -sake cured kanpachi, pear, ginger, sake kasu sorbet -shiso, nori, macaron bite -n25 reserve caviar, koshihikari rice, smoked sabayon -ginger tart, koji, coffee, miso caramel (dessert)

TL;DR: It’s the most expensive, but also the best food I’ve ever had in my life so far. There isn’t a single bad dish, and I feel lucky to live so close to this place. I came to Addison to celebrate my birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience from the moment I walked in. As soon as I stepped into the dining room, I noticed this gorgeous champagne glass with a vibrant stem—the kind of glass you immediately fixate on. I spent a good part of the meal contemplating whether I should order champagne just so I could drink out of it… and eventually I did. Zero regrets. It made the moment feel even more special. The food was outstanding from beginning to end. Every course was intentional, beautifully plated, and genuinely delicious. My favorite was their signature rice bowl—the kind of di

While the food and service were thoughtfully executed, the tasting menu ultimately fell short on value. I came in with high expectations for a three-star restaurant, and it didn’t quite meet them. That said, it was still an enjoyable experience overall, and the service was truly five-star.

I did not actually love the seasonal menu that day, also I think for many of the dishes, too much salt. However, service is definitely top notch and can make up the star missing, which brings my experience a 5 star experience. We brought our baby with us and they saved the big VIP room for us, which is private enough and HUGE! The staffs were very friendly and considerate, we had a good time there.
