Editorial Review for Addison at the Grand Del Mar – by Erin Chambers
In Short
Designed in homage to famed architect Addison Mizner, the dining room sits just past a formal parlor and contains liberally-spaced tables, marble floors and dramatic arches that show off sweeping hilltop views. Staff and golf course regulars often call him a "rock star," but to chef Will Bradley, it's the Mediterranean menu of local produce and the highest quality--and highest priced--fresh seafood like Taylor Bay scallops Dover sole that takes center stage.

My husband I had dinner at Addison on Thanksgiving, 2007. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was impeccable. The bar tenders where outgoing and very friendly. Once we were seated, we on the chef’s five-course tasting menu with wine pairings. The portions are modest but you are enjoying five courses (plus all the bread you’d ever want)! Obviously the reviewer who noted the portion size and pricing isn’t familiar with fine dining (perhaps they should try Cheesecake Factory or Claim Jumper?). We were absolutely stuffed at the end of the five courses. Each course was delightful, and the service was impeccable. The staff was friendly and also did a great job in presentation and timing. The sommelier was very nice and it was clear he had an absolute passion for his work. The décor of the restaurant was grand and elegant. The valet had our car waiting for us when we walked out the door. I would defiantly go back to Addison on special occasions and would highly recommend it to friends and family. The meal for two, including the wine pairings and gratuity came to around $480. If you can afford this type of meal, it’s worth every penny!!!
Pros: great service, unbelievable food
Cons: If you are on a budget, this isn't the place for you!

the person that made the last comments is probably over weight or or cant afford to eat at the addison ( fine dinning restaurants usually get bad comments in when cheap people get the bill)....food is not about quantity, its about quality....next time go to the olive garden or a Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet. the addison was incredible....the food, wine and serves was outstanding. specially the wine list. the sommelier has some great choices from around the world. i will definitely return
