I recently attended a friends wedding here. The location and ambiance is beautiful, but the catering and service are among the worst I have experienced. I really felt bad for the newlyweds. You could see the disappointment on the brides face the entire night. My buddy, the groom, pulled me aside late in the evening and all he said was "God this place sucks". What a shame. read more

Wow, just wow. What an incredible experience we had! We got married about a month ago, and I cannot think of anything on the wedding day, that could have gone smoother. We worked with Cindy from start to finish. Her attention to detail, her people skills and her responsiveness blew myself and my family away. The Addison & Cindy were really able to cater to all of our need and accommodate us. We had a traditional/orthodox Jewish ceremony & a Glatt Kosher wedding. They were so respectful & considerate of all of our needs (and our guests needs). Not only was this an absolutely beautiful affair, but aligned with our religious beliefs and allowed us to keep the traditions alive in our family. I live in Orlando, so although this wasn't a "destination wedding," for most of our family, it was for myself and my husband. Cindy used technology, phone, email etc. to communicate with us and make the entire wedding flawless! Thank you the Addison for the most beautiful wedding Sam and I could have ever dreamed of! Thank you for helping us and holding our hand through it all! Thank you for the vendor recommendations and thank you for your impeccable follow through! My family and I HIGHLY recommend the Addison for your next affair. I know they will go above and beyond to be there for you, your family and your guests. Your event will be one people talk about forever, and one you will NEVER forget. Thank you Cindy & the Addison. xox read more

Ashley and Heather were the most amazing team! They surpassed our expectations tonight and even called to ensure everything was satisfactory. We are more thank satisfied. I highly recommend. We need more like them. Thank you - Tobias & Olga read more

A group of four of us went to the Addison for New Year's Eve. What a complete joke!!! The service was horrendous! But what do they care? After paying $135 dollars a person, we were charged a 22% gratuity on top of the tax! FOR LOUSY SERVICE!!! We asked for drawn butter for our shrimp and crab claws and the waiter said that the kitchen couldn't make it! What??? They obviously have butter as it was served on all the tables with bread. Can't find a way to melt butter?? The food was barely mediocre at best and the entertainment (DJ) was also mediocre. At the end of the night, the valet's couldn't seem to hail a taxi for us and we had to wait almost an hour and a half for a taxi. This place was the worst event venue I have ever been to. We will never be back! read more

Beautiful place for a wedding and the staff were great with their hospitality. However, it wasn't fun to get my SUV back from the valet company with a shattered rear window and some other damage that appears to have been an attempt to burglarize it. Vehicles are parked to the east of the establishment and it looks like it is adjacent to some sort of shopping center. This valet parking area for the vehicles is open to anyone who wishes to walk through without being noticed. It also doesn't help that it is poorly lit, giving opportunistic criminals a target such as my truck. The valet and Addison management were prompt in meeting with me after discovering the damage, but we'll see how they handle it from here forward. I also subsequently learned a charter bus parked in the back also suffered similar damages to it. read more

Gorgeous place, awesome job, everything I could of expected

There is no denial that the venue is beautiful, but this is a private company that benefits from booking all their rooms. So, if you don't mind sharing your venue with others then this may be your place. Also keep in mind that their weekend prices run from $12000 and up (base) in only catering. You still have to bring your floral, music and decoration. Keep in mind that these have to be selected from their vendors list. In other words, you can't not even shop around for a cheaper source. If your budget doesn't allow this, you may still be able to have your wedding/event here just that it will be on a Mon-Wed. Again, they need to sell you the space to get $$. Be prepared to have a 1hr tour of the venue. I will say the staff is nice, but they are trained to sell you their services, so it can come out a little pushy. Don't base your decision on the venue alone. Remember that this is your event/ wedding and nobody should tell you how to do it. read more

I went there for an office Christmas party. Where do I begin....the appetizers tasted like they came out of a box from Trader Joe's. The wait staff seemed to think our table was invisible, so we had to hunt them down like a pack of wild dogs just to get a pig in a blanket. It took another 1/2 hour to get a small basket of dinner rolls for a table of 8. By the time dinner came I could have eaten the bark off a tree I was so hungry. But again, a huge disappointment. I ordered chicken marsala. Ummmmm, what happened to the mushrooms and the sauce? It was accompanied with what looked like dried out fingerling potatoes and some sort of wilted broccoli. The meal was tasteless. The best part was the chocolate cake and coffee. Needless to say, I stopped of at Taco Bell on my way home and had a much tastier and way cheaper meal. I have no idea what all the hype is about this place. Oh, yeah, it's Boca, where they overprice and under deliver. Won't be returning. read more

The Addison - Only part of my meal that was good. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Horrible! The atmosphere was beautiful, but the food and service was a disgrace! New Years Eve 2013, we thought we were going to an upscale place to ring in the New Year. No cocktail forks for the stone crabs, no hand towels, dirty dishes piling up, nobody to pour the wine (except when they opened the bottle) Begging for water. The menu had said there was a cheese bar - servers did not even know it was there. We do not mind paying for a hefty price for a great meal with great service, but to pay $135 a person plus drinks and to have this kind of service and food was more than disappointing. We were informed that there was a private party and that is why there was no help. If that's the case and there is not going to be enough help - Don't offer a New Years Eve Dinner! The food was not good either. (mediocre) We have been to some fantastic places in Boca, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and West Palm Beach with great service and food. (Tanzy, The Breakers, Mario's, Kaluz, The Capitol Grill, Kitchenetta - just to mention a few) We absolutely do not mind paying for what you expect. But this....IHOP would have been a better choice. Do Not Go!!!! read more

First off - the addison does not really operate as a restaurant anymore, except for holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas). The review is with regards to their event coordinators, the chef at the Addison responsible for events and the staff around the event. You do not know where to celebrate your special day? Do not look further. The Addison has a cozy/warm flair and will be your best bet. We loved the two banyan trees outside for the ceremony and cocktail hour, but only after we saw the main ballroom, we knew this was the place for us. Our event coordinator Grace was extremely professional, patient and polite from begin to finish. No loop holes, everything was well documented and processed. Her staff was a pleasure as well. I was so impressed to the attention to detail. If you are a bride to be, you will feel so well taken care of at the Addison. Kirsten was my concierge during my wedding - she was the perfect person to assist a bride. Calm, funny, attentive and professional. Exactly what you need on a day like this. Food: The food here is obviously to die for as well. I was a little disappointed that their chopped salad was smaller this time around, but the presentation was nonetheless lovely. If you are planning on serving appetizers, you do not want to miss the tomato bisque and the lamb chops. They are to die for! We also loved the chicken francaise because it tasted so good and the portion, as well as the sauce ratio was right on. The Snapper with the avocado salsa was a big hit with all our guests as well. The portions of protein must be about 7 -8 oz at least. They made our wedding beautiful because of their well-organized staff. You will not regret it. Some tips: If you have your wedding on a Sunday, you will get a discount. Their cake cutting fee is $5.00 and their standard price for wedding cake starts at $12/per person. We opted for a Publix cake and had favors done for the difference. read more

Thank you to the Addison and the incredible staff for making our daughters wedding so special. From the minute we arrived, you all were on top of every detail. The staff was so attentive to everything about the ceremony, the entrance, etc. The venue, food from appetizers to amazing dinners were great. Kudos to you and the incredible staff at the Addison. I would definitely recommend it and hope we have the pleasure of seeing you again soon. First class! read more

Great wedding venue, I was really impressed. Not sure what the costs are but worth checking out if you're getting married in Boca. Good sized portions on the Filets and Sea Bass. read more

I had my wedding at the Addison on May 24th, 2015. It was every bit the magical experience that my husband and I envisioned. My event planner Sara, was fantastic, and she made the entire wedding planning process was made simple, which was perfect for my schedule. Our attendees have continuously applauded the professionalism of the Addison, and commended the food quality, taste, options, and how hot it was. I would get married here every weekend if I could. read more

I had an amazing experience at The Addison! From the food to the service, everything was perfect! I'm extremely thankful to all their staff especially Grace who made the whole process flow so smoothly. read more

A perfect place for a romantic night out. The food is delicious and atmosphere is perfect. I absolutely love dinner there.

I found the restaurant lovely, the staff friendly and professional. The food however was unremarkable. It was in all fairness a dinner for 40 or so that I was invited to, but it was just not what I had hoped for. read more

The Addison is the most beautiful spot in Boca. Love it love it love it. the food is the best. the atmosphere is the best... You will LOVE it! read more

It's a very lovely restaurant and I love the service. I probably won't go back there again because the food is a bit too pricey and the food is not even that memorable. read more

Went here for a bridal show the place is so beautiful1 The appetizers were delicious and drinks were tasty will try it again on a regular night. read more

Was here for a wedding on Sunday night. The ambiance was gorgeous with the large trees, lights and flowers. The interior reminded us of a lodge in Colorado. Very classy. The food during the cocktail hour was great, included mini grilled cheese, shrimp cocktail and mini meatballs. The food during dinner was great as well. The entire night was wonderful and there was plenty of room outside and inside to relax. Would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding or any other event. read more

My fiancé and I toured at least 8 other venues before we found The Addison and decided it was absolutely perfect for our wedding vision. At our first meeting we met the manager, (Momma) Helene and she assured us they would help coordinate every detail from he food tasting to making sure the vendors arrived on time for the big day- and she sure did deliver! When we arrived on our big day I was greeted by two amazing concierges who literally were by my side the rest of the night helping me go to the bathroom, wiping my tears, and even scrubbing spilled watermelon out of my dress. To say the event was fabulous is an understatement. The food was outstanding (esp. the dessert table) and service was nothing shy of impeccable. Our guests raved about the attentive staff and were wowed by how perfectly their steaks were cooked- many even said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. It was the absolute best day of our lives and we can't thank Helene and everyone at The Addison enough for making our wedding dreams come true read more

See all

I actually came here for a private wedding reception and the venue is quite charming. Lots of plants and tree's on the exterior and a real spacious open area for dining. Nice memories were made here. read more

The food was very good. Service was very fast, nice, and professional. Great place for a wedding.

I recently had a birthday celebration for my husband with 37 guests. It was beyond wonderful. The catering manager Helene Parsons was terrific. My guests could not get over the wonderful food, great presentation and above extraordinary servers, who went above and beyond. Wonderful gorgeous place to make an affair. read more

For 15 years, I have been a wedding officiant, a wedding planner and an event manager for all sorts of events, but mainly weddings. I have handled budgets from $500.00 to 1.5 mil. When my daughter in law said I want to get married under a banyan tree, I suggested another venue, but it is quite pricey. Then, she said that she had found what fit her criteria, to get married under a banyan tree, except, there were two...it was meant to be. We met at the location to view it, we met Grace, her planner, no one has ever embodied that name as well as this Grace. What a beautiful soul. When I saw the proposed contract, what they got - a courtyard wedding and indoor reception in an exceptional venue, fun and themed, old Florida mansion, The planning was simple, but we had lunch..and she asked me "Momma (yeah I am blessed) what do you think, I said for what you are getting, I would charge you at least $35,000. more. Why you ask, because everything was on site and included. The bride's parents chose to upgrade the wine per person, and with the 5 star meal (get the Chilean Sea Bass as one selection - for sure), this venue has everything. The tasting was memorable and fun with other excited couples. Never in 15 years have I had a perfect wedding, it is wonderful that it was the wedding of my son and his beautiful bride and her amazing family Addison, you are pure class! Cindy Dodds read more

Had my daughter's wedding this past weekend. The ambience, food and service were outstanding. However, dealing with management and nickle and dime issues created by their policy were tedious. we had to pay for all the chairs in the ballroom, nothing supplied in bridal suite for the bride or bridal party that you would expect would be a courtesy. The bridal suite needs redecorating. -not pretty. Poor lighting for any photography. Bridal attentant-Alexandra was incredible. All guests were given superb service, even special dietary issues were taken care of. If you can get past the issues with their policy on "a la carte" catering, you will have a beautiful affair.

It always a pleasure working with Grace Eurglunes, catering and event manager of The Addison. She is very efficient and professional. As photographers we enjoy staying busy and Grace makes sure she recommends us to all her clients. At last weeks wedding of Valentina & Felix, Grace as always, made sure everything ran smoothly. The Addison is a beautiful venue to hold any event. It offers spectacular photography for you to remember forever. Grace keep up the great work and we look forward to working with you again in the near future! read more

We had our wedding at The Addison in April. We chose to have the whole wedding outdoors and dine under the stars. The atmosphere with all the lights in the trees and the fountain glowing at night was super romantic. The food was amazing. Our guest could not get over how great the Addison was. Our coordinator was Grace and she was by far the best. She was always so sweet and always got right back to me when I had questions. By far this venue was a true value for the money. It met all my hopes and expectations. Peni R. read more

All-in-all....Easter Brunch was only average. The attention to detail was definitely missing. Our six top was missing the ornate charger plates. We didn't get welcomed by our server, or an explanation of what's all included. The buffet display and food were nice, as well the decor, but the service was definitely lacking. We could feel the service staff didn't want to be there. We had to consistently ask for everything, as opposed to a friendly "is everyone OK?...can I get you anything else?" The automatic 22% gratuity isn't much of a motivator for the service staff. It was really hard paying $20 gratuity per person for a truly lacking service experience. Lesson learned! read more

My daughter had her wedding here in May, IT WAS AMAZING! We worked with Grace and she was extremely helpful. We didn't use a wedding planner, but there was no need because Grace helped us with every detail! There is very little that needs done to "beautify" the wedding ceremony site or the reception room. There is so much character in the main dining room and the beautiful banyan trees just framed the ceremony site perfectly! It was worth every penny. The staff was wonderful the day of the wedding. We didn't need to worry about anything, and our guests raved about the food. Countless guests told us they had never been to a wedding this nice. I have already recommended two brides who have booked there wedding there once they saw my daughters wedding pictures. I highly recommend this venue to everyone! Thank you Grace for making my baby girls day perfect! read more

A year and a half after my wedding, I don't regret my venue choice. The Addison is breathtaking. It's beyond gorgeous and they really do know how to put on an event. My major gripe with The Addison is that they changed their prices on me 30 days before my wedding. YEP - 30 DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING, THEY RAISED THEIR PRICES AND EXPECTED ME TO PAY AN EXTRA 5 GRAND! I was able to negotiate them down to 2 grand extra, but to change their prices 30 days before a bride's wedding is pretty despicable in my eyes. My wedding ended up being the best day of my life. Their service staff, food and decor were out of this world. I wouldn't go back and change my venue if I could, but the price difference really put a sour taste in my mouth. I strongly suggest getting everything you can in writing from them if you decide to get married there. read more

My wife and I had our wedding here last October and it was beyond amazing. Cindy our cordinator was amazing and walked us through each and every step of the way. Sam was our warrior she was by our side all night long helping us with everything from taking our shoes off, helping us walk, getting us food and just being AMAZING! The entire day worked like clockwork, DJ Jeff Perry rocked the house, the photo booth was amazing and the food omg the food! If you want the best food then this is the place from their mini grilled cheese and soup to there mushroom bites and mini Rubens everything appetizer was mouth watering. Our guest are still talking about the endless amount of amazing food. The dinner was also unreal we have been complemented time and time again about how perfect each dish was and how wonderful the food was. The staff besides Cindy and Sam were all so simply amazing and I can't say enough about how beautiful it is inside the courtyard. Once inside its like your own magic little world. The price is not cheap but it is worth every penny. To give you a real money outlook you have to spend 12,000 not matter what in food/beverage and our 70 person wedding cost 20,000 just for the Addison, it's staff and food but let me make it VERY clear it was worth every penny. read more

My daughter was married at The Addison 11/23/11. There are not enough superlatives to describe how absolutely fabulous everything was. We had guests come from Israel, Canada, Arizona and of course Florida. EVERYONE was blown away. The food, the service and the attention to detail was excellent. We had the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing outside under the banyan trees. It was so romantic. The PERFECT place for a wedding!!! read more

I did not actually book the venue. It is a gorgeous venue, however I felt compelled to write a review to hopefully get some attention to my complaint about contacting them. After having a set budget in mind for what I wanted to spend on a venue, I contacted them to ask what the average price was for about 50-60 guests for a wedding. Instead of giving me an average cost, they wasted my time by having me show up, the person I had an appointment with was late to the appointment, they showed off the entire venue... and then I find out that the venue is double the pricing that I wanted to spend. If there was anything worse than finding this out, it's the fact that there is a MANDATORY cost towards food and beverages depending on the time of year and party size. This was in fact, what made the pricing on the venue ridiculously high. And it's completely out of the question to negotiate on the food budget! That is ridiculous! read more

This certainly is a beautiful place, but that's about it. We had our wedding at The Addison and truly regret it. We spent 10K+ for basically a 3 hour open bar and desserts, and the underlying feeling was that we were not a priority and were viewed as not a "true" wedding since we elected to have more of a cocktail party and did not spend 50K, which is probably there average wedding. So many negative things happened, I have put them out of my mind, but some of the major issues involved promises that were not kept. Most outstanding is the fact that there was a wine tasting party booked at the last minute overlapping our wedding. These people were cheap drunks and were not separated from our group - mixed into our bar, ate our food and one woman actually started a fight where one of our guests was knocked over. When I heard this party was booked (from another source), I was assured that they would be kept seperate from us by sercurity. This did not happen. The food was pretty skimpy for 10K, and some of the things we asked for (like a flaming bananas foster) was just sitting in a warmer and had no presentation. Some of the servers did not even know what they were serving, and some did not speak English and therefore could not understand requests. Then, we were charged for extra servers that were not even used. Dirty plates from diners were carried through our party as well. The band that was promised was a "party band" and this was not the case. They were not friendly, did not play "party" music, did not try to generate dancers, the music was hard to hear and they were belligerent over requests. Overall, the night was bittersweet because we were with friends and family, but we were definitely disappointed, as this was supposed to be a very special event to us and The Addison clearly did not view it the same way. The saddest thing is that we never want to go back there after arguing with management over these things and receiving no "make-good" or credit for servers that were not there, etc. Stinks. read more
