Addie’s Place

Beautiful venue for corporate or private events, related to the Wine House and Upstairs 2, but an entirely separate space. It’s an intimate room with wine rack walls, very classy spot for hosting small to medium sized groups. I’ve been here twice now as part of a corporate outing, and both times J. B. Severin was our wine host for the night and was simply amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, and welcoming. For this second visit, we had a French theme night, with wines and small plates from all around France. So great! With each wine or food, J.B. showed us on a map the region it was from and explained the traditional preparation methods and why the wines end up tasting as good as they do.
The food was also out of this world.
–Lobster salad with Asian pear, jicama, Hollander cucumber, and blood orange aioli — savory. Delicious. Amazing. Delicate.
–Tuna Nicosia salad with green beans, eggs, olives, tarragon vinaigrette — perfect blend of flavors. You could taste the tuna, but any fishiness was masked over. Dijon added a perfect blend to the flavors.
–Heirloom tomato and burrata, with lemon basil dressing — nice. Not too zesty. Allows burrata to shine through.
–Sea bass — the lemon sauce is divine; buttery and not too sweet. The fish itself was soft, and very tender.
–Chicken francaise — good, mild flavors
–Veal florentine — not gamey, creamy sauce.
–Millefeulle napoleon — light dessert with flaky layers.
All in all everything about the night was simple perfection. I would highly recommend this place for a private event, and J.B. as your host. You learn about the wines and foods in a fun, relaxed environment, and everything is perfectly executed.
