Addie's

Potomac, Maryland

Addie?s is great for brunch on the weekend. They have a lovely brunch menu and the service is so nice and friendly. I loved the decadent sticky bun and the smoke salmon eggs Benedict. Will definitely return.

Had our work Christmas party here. Nice place and the food was pretty good.

I would give it 3.5 stars if Google allowed. Food was good - the pumpkin ravioli was excellent and the gulf shrimp pasta was good, too (both appetizers) - but a few items like the mashed potatoes and truffle mac and cheese sides could have been elevated. Potatoes were bland and mac and cheese was dry and had a grainy texture. Beef short rib entree was delicious with an amazing crust on the outside but wasn't that tender on the inside and was a little dry too, like it was maybe cooked too fast or at too high a temperature. My husband enjoyed his scallops and my dessert, the sweet potato torte, was great while his, the carrot cake, was just ok. Again, nothing was bad but at these prices, I expected most things too be better. Service was great and the server was very apologetic that out desserts were taking an unreasonably long time. Nothing says sorry like taking it off the bill. It was Valentine's Day though so maybe the kitchen was just too busy. I think that trying happy hour pricing on a slower day will make it more worth it and a better value.

My wife and I tried the "new" Addie's last night after many fond memories of the original location on Rockville Pike. We regretted not going sooner since their new location in Park Potomac has been there for probably a year (?). As it turns out, that delay was for the best. Apparently the "new" Addie's tried to be something different, with $100 seafood tower dishes rather than the classic tried and true menu we all remember from the old Addie's. This did not go over well, and Addie's recently closed itself down to restore it's old style menu. The new venue is much better in my opinion, with a decent bar and more spacious seating area. Some may miss the charm of the old converted house that Addie's used to call home, but I see only progress. Long story short, I'm glad we went when we did. The food was excellent and the tables were full, so the word must be out: the real Addie's is back.

I was so disappointed in my house salad with salmon. It tasted like something I might have made at home...and I am a terrible cook...that's why we go out all the time. This is the second meal we've had at our 'once upon a time' favorite restaurant that needed a do-over. The staff and atmosphere is lovely but someone needs to send in a secret shopper to order a meal. It was really bad.
