One of the best meals I have ever had!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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!
