"Addison is the Mount Everest of fancy San Diego restaurants. All of the dishes on the $385-per-person seasonal tasting menu are as inventive as they are tasty: chicken liver churros, sashimi with kiwi and melon, a crispy potato cube layered with black truffle and Iberico ham. Beyond the food, Addison has an extensive wine and cocktail list, plus bottles of rare champagne. The restaurant got a refresh a few years ago, so now it’s warmer, brighter, and complements the space’s arched windows and high ceilings. All that makes Addison a phenomenal place to celebrate that promotion you’ve waited years for, or when you want to pull out the stops for something really romantic. All dining transactions at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar hotel are part of the Link & Dine program." - Team Infatuation

"Painted in shades of lagoon blue and unusually spacious, the Michelin-starred Local blends local crafts (including thousands of colored glass beads laid into the floor) with a kitchen focused on exquisitely fresh, area-sourced produce that riffs on tradition and occasionally fuses other elements. In the open kitchen chef Salvatore Sodano prepares seven- or nine-course set menus that might include rice with razor clams or Venetian squid cooked in its own ink; the staff are welcoming and professional, the kitchen accommodates allergies, and the wine list is expertly curated." - Anne Hanley
"A three-Michelin-starred restaurant located in the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in California, this acclaimed fine-dining destination is celebrated for its exceptional cuisine and level of achievement, and its inclusion on the national top-100 hotel-restaurant list underscores the rise of hotel-based establishments as true culinary landmarks." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
