Addison Restaurant

Reviewed By donaldh886

My wife and I are very fortunate to have dined in many of the world’s great houses of gastronomy. Last evening we placed Addison into our top 10. Addison is not for everyone; it’s a high ticket , 3 hour visit to your sight and senses. IF you are a serious foodie you will truly enjoy this glimpse of serious food and service excellence.First impressions are of a beautiful restaurant and salon, graced with high ceilings and plenty of marble. A grand fireplace dominates the dining room.We chose the 5 course dinner; not due to price, but the fact as we have gotten older, we just can’t eat that much. If I were 20 years younger, I would have definitely let the chef do his thing.Our meal experience started with glasses of Krug Champagne. Our first course was a Cucumber Granite with Yogurt and Yuzu essence. Next came the “Petite Saveurs”, consisting of an Oscetra Caviar and Egg Mousseline Tart, a cheese filled Gougere and Smoked Wild King Salmon mousse in pastry “cigarette” with Salmon Caviar garni.Our next course was Alaskan King Crab and Peeky Toe Crab with Coconut, Thai Basil and Passion Fruit.A course of whimsy was a play on “ Chips and Dip”; again excellent.A course of Wild Sea Bream with Tapenade, Artichokes and Bottarga was delicious.Sweetbreads with Black Truffles, Iberico Ham and Smoked Potato Purée was finished with freshly grated Parmesan. It was our favorite of the evening.A loaf of freshly baked Parkerhouse Rolls was served with three different and delicious butters including a dill herb butter, Honey butter and Butter sprinkled with Fluer de Sel.Barbecued Duck Breast was the next course. It was garnished with a marinated Cherry, Duck Liver mousse, pickled Mustard and Duck Jus with Red Cabbage. Outstanding!.A Riesling Sorbet with Melon Pearls and 24 Karat Gold Leaf was served to cleanse the palate .Dessert was a Chocolate creation with Cassis, Cocoa and Salted Caramel.Our mignardise consisted of Chocolate Ganache Tart, Frangipan Petit Four and Fruit Gel. We did enjoy a half bottle of Kosta Browne 2014 Pinot Noir, along with Coffee and Tea.There was a choice of Grade 5 Wagyu, along with a Cheese course, which we did not partake ofFinally, our service team presented us with a beautiful box of Chocolates, along with a printed copy of the evening’s menu. Our car was waiting for us after this presentation.The beautiful choreography of service, along with the chef’s bold cuisine statement, makes this an event to remember.We highly recommend Addison and look forward to a return visit.Wow! What a wonderful review, thank you for sharing all about your unbelievable visit to Addison. We are thrilled you had such a spectacular dinner and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

BO beau kitchen + bar

A casual, neighborhood bistro in the heart of bohemian (BO) Ocean Beach. The beautiful(Beau) design transports you to a cottage in a small village in the south of France.

The food was awesome. The Brussel Sprouts were seriously to die for! They were scrumptious and we had no idea the appetizer would be so large. We ate so much appetizer would could barely finish our meals.Service was excellent as well. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect! I loved it! Will be back!!!!

Wanted something in walking distance after traveling all day. This was a French restaurant and we loved everything. We sat outdoors on a beautiful evening. We started with huge shrimp cocktails and spicy sauce. The Caesar salad was perfectly anointed with dressing over crisp romaine with croutons and shaved cheese. I had fabulous lamb chops with sautéed spinach and sweet potato au gratin, which was unusual and delicious. The salmon was grilled with mashed potatoes and grilled Brussel sprouts. Perfect size, prepared perfectly. The chocolate praline mousse was perfect for the finish. Ashley our waitress was helpful, friendly and attentive.
