Addison has been the only 3 star Michelin restaurant in Southern California until recently (Addition of Somni). Addison is nestled on the beautiful grounds of Fairmont Grand Del Mar. This is not just a restaurant, it is an experience from start to fi

My mom and I came to Addison for my birthday dinner! We've been to some three star michelin restaurants in NY, so we were wondering how Addison would compare, and it definitely didn't disappoint! Just a note for those going, the location a
Only for very very special people and occasions.
I cannot believe how wonderful and top-notch world-class the food and service and ambience are. So worth every moment, dollar, drink. Perfect for a romantic occasion.

My husband and I went here last Friday for our 27th anniversary and it's taken me several days to process my experience. Ultimately it's a tight race between being absolutely appalled and utterly disappointed. This is my review in short:
This was by far the best pairing we've ever had.
Each course came with its own pairing that accentuated the course rather than fight. They didn't just throw expensive wines at us, it was clear a lot of thought went into it. Shoutout James for being such a great staff member and walking us outs

Service was impeccable, and that's where I can see they earn their 3 stars from. The food was also perfectly cooked - I didn't have a single dish that lacked technical skill nor had technical flaws. Where the experience fell a little flat f
This was a phenomenal experience! The service was 10/10!
This was a phenomenal experience! The service was 10/10! The staff is extraordinary and well versed. From the entrance to the exit, it is a one of mind experience. We did the 10 course dinner. The dinner room was full. But there was a lot of space
3 stars is well deserved.
The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and gives that 'old money' fancy but also cozy vibe. From the time we arrived until the time we left we were cared for by a number of staff and each one was extremely attentive and made convers

We've been to eight 3 Michelin Star restaurants before, but we were stunned at the taste, textures, service and dish execution at Addison this Thursday. An exquisite birthday dinner for my wife. Wine pairing was phenomenal and stood out togeth
What can I say besides WOW.
My wife had the vegetarian offerings and I had the standard menu. So much and so good. The wine is very expensive. They offered champagne to begin, with prices starting at $165 per glass, going up to over $800. Ya, that's crazy.
Least memorable Michelin experience.
Addison is a beautiful venue adjacent to the Golf Club of the Fairmont Grand Del Mar Resort. The service was elegant and choreographed. The food experience, however was underwhelming given that it was a three Michelin Star establishment. The opening
Be careful with wine
We either misunderstood or are totally idiots. The wine pairing for dinner cost as much as the dinner. $385 each. So we heard wine pairing was $85 each. We both heard the same thing. Surprise surprise when we got the bill. Do not get the wine pairing
Rude and several courses off the mark
I am writing this review now, even though we went to Addisons in December 2023. The reason for the delay was waiting for someone to respond to my concerns and complaints. We planned this special dining out experience as a combo celebration for my
Interesting Experience
Never dined at a Michelin-star restaurant. Service was excellent, the food was an experience. So many little types of exotic food items served every 15 minutes or so. Extremely expensive. You could easily spend 1000 dollars or more per person. I
Parents 50th Anniversary! Amazing meal and amazing people!
I sent my parents here as a gift for their 50th wedding anniversary. (My parents both ate there. I did not). Everything went better than expected and my expectations were pretty high. The people at Addison were very nice and eager to grant every spec
Frozen Expectations: Michelin Dining Meets Arctic Adventure
Oh boy, where to begin? I usually don’t bother writing food reviews, but this one was such an unparalleled disaster, I felt compelled to bless you all with my experience. So, picture this: I’m heading to Addison, San Diego’s only three-star Mic
Above and Beyond
Our experience at Addison was top-notch and didn’t disappoint. From the moment we walked in the door, we were enveloped in luxury and pampered like royals. The whole experience felt like a precisely choreographed ballet, and our servers were aware
Not good enough.
For Southern California's only 3-star restaurant, Addison came with a lot of hype, and a very long wait time to get in. After the excitement of getting there, however, the result was underwhelming at best. From the outside, Addison looks and f
What a wonderful experience!
This was one great evening of enjoyment! It is the complete package. The food…….ingredients, creativity and execution was near perfection. Such intense flavors that tie so well together. This was a 10 course affair with a few amuse bouche to begi
This review is long overdue.
I visited Addison for my birthday in March. I will never forget the celebrity treatment we received. We were greeted with a warm welcome as soon as we arrived. The service was unmatched the entire time: professional and friendly. The food was simulta
Food and service were perfect.
Presentation of our 10 courses was detailed, informative and engaging. 2 small nits. The champagne service which arrived at the table is presumptuous upon learning it is not part of the pre fixe dinner. Some of these champagnes were offered at $50
Three Michelin stars creates high expectations.
And it should. So this review will be totally picky but totally honest. We arrived for our party of 4 10 min before our reservation. We were seated about 15 min later. Two of us had two glasses of wine and the other two had the basic wine pairing.

If you have a monumental occasion to celebrate, this is the venue. It is an opportunity for mere mortals to experience the cuisine which would be offered to gods. I had the opportunity to experience the elevated 10 course summer series and the ridicu
Dining at Addison is memorable --a bucket list experience.
The food is amazing and beautiful with broad appeal. The service is flawless, with choreographed delivery to everyone at the table at once. While upscale, I found the servers to be genuine and welcoming. The ambiance feels like dining in a palace. I

For my 30th birthday I wanted to do something different and since I like food so much, I wanted to have the chance to eat at a 3-star Michelin Restaurant. Although I didn't initially have a reservation, I called and was waitlisted. I told them it was

I was expecting amazing food from a 3 star Michelin but this blew me away. Took my wife, who is a foodie, as a surprise for our anniversary and she loved it. It is amazing how many of the dishes were so complex, giving you waves of different flavors
Food was good, not great.
Service was great, that's not enough though considering the price. Everything you read about them trying to upsell you is true, thankfully we saw that before we went. Avoided the Champagne upsell, decided to have a glass of wine for dinner. Lo
The Three Michelin Star Experience that Wasn't
I will start by saying we have dined after dozens of Michelin star restaurants around the world...I have never walked out before dining. We arrived to the restaurant right on time for our 8pm reservation. We had booked this reservation months in adva
Amazing culinary adventure from start to finish...
We returned to Addison last night and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. We were greeted and taken to a lovely table facing the dining room. The service was completely different this time, very attentive and much more personal. We ha

My boyfriend and I loved Providence (2 stars in LA) so were excited for Addison. From the moment the night started, it was a disappointment. We arrived about 15 minutes early and were ushered into a very dark room and given a menu to order drinks.

A must visit! We had a special dinner in San Diego's three star Michelin restaurant. Natalie, the wine sommelier, is fantastic! She recommended an amazing white wine to pair with the food and I still dream about it to this day. Our server, Patrick

Be prepared to take out a second mortgage if you do the supplements and elevated wine pairings! The service is impeccable here, the ambiance lovely and it's in a gorgeous resort property...but of course the food! Each course was amazing and well
Superb experience.
Superb meal and service. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, we were treated to a truly 3* experience. We opted for the elevated meal and the luxury wine pairing, and each dish was sublime with perfectly selected wine accompanime

If I had to summarize Addison in a single word, it would be "disappointing." If adding another, it would be "confusing." We have been to several Michelin restaurants (both 1 star and gourmand in the United States and France),
There was a variety of texture and taste.
Most of them were flavorful, but some were a little sour for me. I wished they'd go easy on the bok choy in the Chawan Mushi dish. Also, there were a lot of finger food, and I wished they'd given us a warm wet towel to wipe our hands before starting
Superb food and dining experience.
Be ready for a long dinner but it is worth every minute. Excellent service staff.

We love eating out but do not regularly throw down 1k++ for dinner, so this was something we were looking forward to. The restaurant is located inside the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, and it is a really pretty property. We arrived about ten minutes befor
Excellent, except for some of the food
The service and presentation was impeccable. The atmosphere was elegant and high class. The music was more modern than the traditional setting. The food was inventive but not anywhere near a five star, five diamond and especially, a three Michelin st
Worst experience in a Michelin-Star-Restaurant ever
28. November 2023 For starters, a glass of champagne was between $250 and $550… Then the food was mediocre at best. The fish dry, the meat rather tasteless. And the background music was too loud and too “hard” for a dinner. We complained tw
Pretentious
Pretentious, uncomfortable, overpriced and food is not memorable. So much effort is expended on trying to impress rather than trying to make the customer comfortable.
Be warned
Let me begin by saying that the food/service and ambiance were terrific. However, DO NOT be lulled into trying their champagne pre dinner service. Stupid me did not ask the pricing (shame on me) and they did not offer it ( shame on them) . They advis
Fantastic for Vegetarians!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to ADDISON RESTAURANT San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the ADDISON RESTAURANT San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at ADDISON RESTAURANT San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at ADDISON RESTAURANT San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
