Addison

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

Nothing comes remotely close to the poetic culinary experience of this AAA 5-Diamond, three-star Michelin restaurant by acclaimed chef William Bradley, who serves haute French flavors in his 10-course prix-fixe dinners. Like a ballet, servers present elegant dishes showcasing a mélange of textures and flavors that celebrate California and French gastronomy. Although the menu changes seasonally, count on impressive presentation and a first-class dining experience that may integrate black truffles, Kampachi sashimi, Cantonese quail, or Regiis Ova caviar with smoked sabayon. Beyond the swanky bar and wine cave is a sophisticated dining room with white linens and arched windows, yet the environment is relaxed, approachable, and far from pretentious. Addison delights wine lovers with more than 3,500 varietals from around the world.
