Addy's Dutch Cafe & Restaurant

Addy's pulls off the air of an old-time, Dutch country inn. It's a fun place to dine and has an attentive staff. The space is dark with wood covered walls and a timbered ceiling. You can easily imagine you are in Europe. The wide selection of European beers helps further the mood.  The menu is authentic, traditional Dutch cuisine.  Addy, the owner, is nuts about soup and there is always a hearty one or two among the daily specials. Try the erwtensoep, split pea soup; it's not for vegetarians. Also good is the potato leek soup.

I brought my friend here for her birthday, but we must have gotten our signals crossed with the waitress because she only took my order and not my friend's.  We enjoyed a chat as the waitress went back and forth, but she never did return to take her order, and we kept wondering if this were standard procedure here or if we needed to say something..  We waited like what seemed forever for the food to arrive.  We entered around 8 pm and I got my schnitzel after 9 pm.  People who came in after us were eating before we were.  We shared the schnitzel and left, still hungry and confused.  It was a bizarre experience.

Christmas and New Years at Addy's is a special time. The owner strings up all kinds of Christmas lights and it makes the cozy atmosphere that much more inviting. We definitely encourage him to keep it up longer. Very enjoyable time. Not a party bar. Just a great place to sit, relax, gather with your friends and have a beer.
