Addison by William Bradley, San Diego, CA ***

Addison by William Bradley was one of the most delicious and impressive meals I've ever had and I'm so thankful to share the experience with my brother Don, who is the one who really got me into the appreciation of the culinary arts. Every course was sublime with creative and unique flavors and textures all combining into an incredible experience definitely worthy of their Michelin 3 stars. The service was also excellent with knowledgeable and passionate staff expertly explaining each bite and drop of wine all while gracefully placing each dish in a mini grastromic ballet.
