ADDISON RESTAURANT San Diego Reviews from The Last Year
Beautiful, amazing food and service.
A place for a special occasion or romantic dinner.
Served us alcohol when we ordered a mocktail and then asked they reason my BF didn't want alcohol!!
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. It was impossible to see the menu to order and there was only a fireplace and tiny candle, so we just sat and waited. At about 10 minutes past our reservation time we were seated in a very nice booth. My boyfriend has been sober for 30 years so ordered a mocktail and I selected the wine pairing. We had been enjoying our drinks for a few minutes when one of the many (around 10-15 different people) that served our table during the meal came over and said that there may be alcohol in my boyfriend's drink. Of course, my BF was upset. The waiter said that this drink shouldn't have been served in this glass. He then went on to ask my BF if he was in recovery! We were both completely taken aback by the drink and his very personal question. He then took the drink away, was gone for about 10 minutes- the entire time we didn't know if there alcohol in the drink. Another waiter came back with a fresh drink in the same glass and never told us if in fact there was or wasn't alcohol. When we questioned him- he said that this was sure "locked and loaded," Not sure if that is a good or bad thing. It really spoiled the whole evening for us. To make matters worse- the service was strange, cold, and very impersonal. There are so many waiters serving you, you don't connect with any of them. They do this strange synchronized serving which I assume they think is impressive. The food was fine, the decor needs an upgrade, and the service cold. Before leaving a review I tried to reach out to the manager many time. We messages at the front desk of the hotel with a manager and I left 4 messages for Sean the manager of the restaurant and haven't yet received a response. If you want an impressive meal, with stellar and very personalized service skip Addison and go to Providence.

A must visit! We had a special dinner in San Diego's three
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, helped make the evening very special and anticipated our needs throughout. Outstanding service. The director was so sincere and processional. The food is SO delicious. I crave the caviar dish. The ambiance feels opulent but not over the top. The parking lot could use more lights. It is big enough to accommodate.
My husband and I really wanted to enjoy this 3-star
My husband and I really wanted to enjoy this 3-star Michelin restaurant, but it was a pretty disappointing experience in which we felt a little duped. First, we had eaten at an amazing 2-star Michelin restaurant in Sweden last year that was set in a house with funky decor and had such a cool vibe. This was in a golf club with your standard wood decor, nothing special. The lighting was also very poor - I threw away a couple of pictures taken of me because the down shadows on my face made me look like a skeleton. Right off the bat, we were shamed into ordering champagne that cost $150 per GLASS. It was the least expensive champagne on a tray the waiter was presenting (the most expensive was $250-300 I think? Per GLASS). Unless you are a scion or heiress and can taste the difference between $300 glasses of champagne, (I can't) I would skip Addison just for this reason. Although my husband and I did have fun for the rest of the night making up how rare everything was, and therefore why it cost another $1000 (beef from cows that were only fed oatmeal on full moons to make their coats glisten, and there were only TEN of these cows in the world, and Addison has THREE of them, so rare, so rare. We seriously heard these stories all night. We're probably not their target audience here). In the 2-star restaurant we'd visited, each chef came out and presented their own course, how they came up with it, why it was special, and chitchatted a bit with us. Here, it felt like a recital of text they were repeating for everyone else all night. If the food had been good, it would've been something, but I kept waiting for the food to "get good," and it never did. A couple of courses even made me feel ill as they were so visually unappealing. I've never liked food that look like spit (attaching a couple I didn't eat). Knowing you're walking into a $375/person dinner is one thing, walking out with a total tab of $1500 for two due to not-worth-it add-ons (I would've been happier with a $20 bottle of Prosecco) you felt shamed into getting is another. Writing this review so others can perhaps save $1500 if tasting the "rarest" things isn't really their deal.
Dining at Addison was one of our most memorable dining
Dining at Addison was one of our most memorable dining experiences in our lives. We have been waiting to dine there for years, so when Addison acquired its third Michelin star, we knew we had to make it happen. Addison did not disappoint. Their service was impeccable from start to finish. The dishes were presented in such coordinated fashion that it was as if we were watching a show. Each dish was so well thought out and tasted delicious! We also ordered the waygu beef upgrade and wine pairings which helped enhance the experience. At the end of the evening, we were so full. We were handed menus and some granola to remember the evening. It was a very expensive meal, but worth it. It was definitely a meal we shall never forget.
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 accompaniments. My one quibble would be with the Matsutake broth accompanying the Wagyu; the Wagyu was the best beef I have ever had, and I felt like the broth detracted from it. We have eaten in dozens of Michelin-starred restaurants throughout the world, and Addison ranks amongst our top experiences. I have seen negative comments regarding the value of a meal at Addison. I would argue that you are paying for an experience, as well as for the talent of both the culinary and service teams. While this experience was a splurge we certainly could not undertake often, it is one I would absolutely repeat for a special occasion.
Be prepared to take out a second mortgage if you do the
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 worth the five months of waiting for our Saturday evening reservation. We were celebrating a birthday and the only thing they did was present a candle in a bowl of what looked like flakey salt towards the beginning of the meal. I would've expected a little something special to acknowledge the special occasion. Nonetheless, being the only 3 star Michelin restaurant in SoCal, this is definitely an experience to have!
If I had to summarize Addison in a single word, it would be
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), but never a 3-star, so we were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, Addison was a complete disappointment. It started with the confusing parking, which was dark and unlit, without valet service of any kind. Upon walking in, there was a lady seated behind a counter, but the welcome wasn't really that warm, and despite not seeming that busy, our table was delayed for around 25 minutes. We shook it off in hopes that this would be an amazing experience once we got settled. True to Michelin fashion, the service was impeccable. The sommelier and staff were delightful and engaging. This is where the positive notes end unfortunately. Similar to some of the other reviews that I have since read, we found the flavors didn't blend well together. It seems the tartness in many of the dishes was overbearing, the temperatures between ingredients was not aligned, the meat textures were not as expected, and the dishes were not well balanced on the palate. As a positive, the presentation did at least look nice. This was the first Michelin experience for our dinner companions, so I found myself continually reassuring them things would get better, but unfortunately they never did. I found 3 of the 10 courses to be pretty good, but found nothing excellent, and most dishes to be marginal. In fairness, I understand each chef to have his or her own style and artistic flair, so it's entirely possible that perhaps my palate just doesn't agree with this particular culinary style. I would feel better, had the 3 others with me have seen things differently, but unfortunately all of us shared the same feeling and most of the dishes were returned without having been fully consumed. We expected the price to be what it was, just shy of $3000 for 4, but found the menu disappointing if even it had been for a much lower price offering. We also felt the menu to be confusing in presentation. In my experience with Michelin restaurants, they all seem to lead you on a journey and tell a story, but in this instance the journey wasn't linear and the story had no plot or route to follow. Honestly, we all discussed on the ride home how disappointing the experience was and our friends commented that it would be unlikely they would return, even if the meal had been without cost. I think this speaks for itself. Objectively, I am unsure how this one snuck in "under the Michelin radar" and would never expect a Michelin 3-star rating for Addison. There are many 1-star Michelin and gourmand restaurants, whom are far outperforming Addison, and for whom this rating would be more deserved. At best, maybe they just had a bad day in the kitchen. At worst, maybe Michelin needs to take another look at this one. We found the experience worthwhile, only in the respect that we tried it. It certainly adds to our comparison of the others we have enjoyed, but we would not recommend Addison and would not return. Again, we understand how hard the chef and staff work to attain such a rating, so the purpose of this review is more in hopes that it will be taken to heart, with some corrections made, in order to make it a worthwhile experience (as 1 of only 143 Michelin 3-star restaurants in the world) in the future.
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 on it. It's weird also that a 3 star Michelin restaurant would give us cookies wrapped in plastic wrap as a momento. I'd wished they invested more on that. French laundry ones came in a cute little tin box with their cloth peg logo on it.
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
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 before the restaurant opened/and our reservation. I think it would have been nice if the fireplace had been turned on by the bench that is out front since the restaurant and bar do not open until exactly 5 pm, and it is pretty cold out. I was surprised by the interior of the restaurant, which was not a very inviting layout to me. The bar connects the waiting area and the restaurant but has a lot of dead space and antiquated decor. The cocktail list wasn't very exciting, with only about 5 options. I do understand that they are obviously about their wine program, but I thought this was kind of a miss, especially since when we got there and sat at the bar, no music was on, and when the bartender came to greet us, there was no actual greeting just "do want a drink?". The dining room itself had that same overly bare feeling with very, very spaced out tables, some booths with placemats, others actual linen, and when the music came on, it was a nice alternative rock, which I thought actually helped with the stuffy vibe, like who doesn't want to listen to Spoon? I don't want to rate each item we received because I am for sure not as knowledgeable or creative as the Chef and BOH team. Some dishes we liked more than others, specifically the soup dish and the play-off of the fish and chips with caviar. Sometimes I think there is a tendency to like something just because it gets certain ratings/reviews. I am not sure if things were just not to my taste, but I felt a little letdown post-visit. Most of this had to do with the service/ops. I felt that for spending $$$$ for two people to eat, which was something special for us, the service should be perfect. They had a lot of staff on, but we had to follow up on a drink order, and there was no coffee offered with dessert, etc, I also felt that towards the end the timing was very slow. We opted for the wine pairing, and the Somm seemed very rushed and did not really explain the wines, which would have built a more dynamic experience. All these are little things but taken together, and with the money/expectations, it could have been more.
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 star rating. My squab was fatty and had gristle in it. It was also rather tasteless. The wines were perfectly paired with the dishes. The prices were so much higher than the quality of the food. Our meal for two, with the wine pairing, came to just under $2000.00. In the end, we did make a comment about the taste and quality of the squab that was served. Our waiter said he'll let the chef know. Based on what other people have said about the squab, I don't believe that anything will be changing in the quality of that dish. We did have coffee in the library afterward. That was a pleasant experience, as they brewed it in front of us, and poured a fresh cup. All in all, good but not great food, earning four stars for what should have been a five star experience.
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 twice and were told that it was the playlist of the chef and that’s it… And the whole dinner was still not finished after 3.5 hours. We left without dessert, It was well past 11 pm and we were tired and disappointed.
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 advised us of food upcharges but no notice of the cost of the champagne. I figured it would be expensive but$220 for a glass (and not even a generous pour) was beyond shocking! It wasn’t even their most expensive. it was close to deceptive as you can get. I have eaten in my fine Michelin restaurants but who would have expected that ! I was at least glad that my wonderful evening wasn’t ruined until receiving the bill. Be warned
Fantastic for Vegetarians!
This restaurant is fantastic for vegetarians. They have a pre-set vegetarian menu, and the dishes are all prepared exceptionally well. The service is fantastic as well. Below are some pictures of the meal. The restaurant's ambience is also absolutely terrific. It is a beautiful setting and a breathtaking dining room and facility. The restaurant has free on-site self-parking!!! Pro tips: 1. Make a reservation far in advance. But, if you need a reservation sooner, call and ask to be put on the wait list. They sometime have last-minute cancellations! 2. Leave yourself ample time to get to the restaurant. The restaurant is on the site of a luxury hotel resort. You may need a few minutes to get there once you get to the front gate.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
