    Our experience at Addictive was very good. It’s often a challenge for us to find a restaurant that offers multi-course or elevated dining while still accommodating our two children, who usually prefer basic food. Addictive worked well in that regard. My wife and I enjoyed a well-prepared three-course dinner with wine, while our kids were content with a selection of tapas suited to their tastes. The food was flavorful and very well presented. The space is cozy and nicely decorated, with warm, relaxing lighting that adds to the overall atmosphere. The only aspect that felt slightly mismatched was the music. Although I enjoy Latin American music, I felt that something more soothing, or even Spanish music, would have better complemented the dining experience. Service was attentive and professional, and the location is convenient for a pre-Broadway show dinner. Overall, Addictive offered a satisfying dining experience for our family.
