We had a great meal here! Our server, Rosa S. Was amazing! She was attentive and kind and super helpful when we were deciding on mains. I got the seafood pasta special and my spouse had the gumbo. We also share oysters on the half shell and had a few cocktails. I would skip the cocktails, but the wine list is great. The seafood pasta was delicious and honestly a very generous portion for the price! I would absolutely order again. We sat outside and had a lovely night! read more

This is my second time here and I've loved it each time! The food is delicious and it gives fine dining for a reasonable price. I tried something from the special menu this time and I did not regret it! The service is fast and efficient too. Just a heads up, this is a white table cloth restaurant. It's located in Old town which is such a cute area for dinner and post-meal drinks (if you're in the mood). read more

The Warehouse - Seafood Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

The Warehouse is a Louisiana style inspired restaurant. The ambiance is pretty mid, I'm not sure if they clean well because I've been there twice and I've witnessed fruit flies. The service was great, they are super attentive to your needs. My entire fruits de mer was amazing. The charbroiled oysters lacked flavor. The drinks though, they hit !!! read more

My girlfriend and I had dinner here on a Friday night, and it was fantastic from start to finish. We lucked out with a front window seat that made for great people-watching, and the atmosphere felt welcoming without being too busy. This was my first visit, but it was especially meaningful for her since it was the first restaurant she came to after moving to the U.S. from Ukraine. We started with the Gator Bites, which were perfectly fried and full of flavor. For entrées, I ordered the Steak Pontchartrain--a generous 14oz cut cooked to a perfect medium-rare, juicy and packed with flavor. The asparagus was crisp, the shrimp on top were excellent, and the sauce tied everything together. The mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious as well. My girlfriend had the All Lump Crab Cakes, and they were huge--juicy, well-seasoned, with a crisp golden exterior and lots of crab meat. Easily some of the best we've had. We paired dinner with a bottle of Paul Buisse Sauvignon Blanc, which was a great match for her crab cakes. Service was top-notch, and our waiter really made the evening, even sharing a story about his son finishing ROTC. It gave the night a personal touch. All in all, great food, great service, and a very fair check for the quality. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu--highly recommend The Warehouse if you're in Old Town! read more

I really enjoyed my meal, I opted for the Chicken Orleans sandwich w/ the Cajun fries. It was delicious! The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the sauce to go with it paired perfectly. The service was stellar! Our water never ran out and dirty plates were quickly removed from our table, this is what you call 5 star service. My only complaint was the restaurant being all the way upstairs! A little bit of an issue if you're handicapped or older but nonetheless, the atmosphere is what is expected for the "old town" vibe. read more

We love going to The Warehouse for lunch. They offer a broad selection of special lunch items and lunch portions of their signature dishes. The atmosphere is sophisticated and refined. Service is always excellent and informed. During a visit in March, we enjoyed the Grilled Principle Salad with chicken and apples, a cup of She Crab soup, and jambalaya, which had a kick to it -- in a good way. They were all well prepared. They offer seating outside and inside. We prefer the inside dining rooms -- either on the first or second floors. read more

My dad and I had our first visit to the warehouse tonight. I had heard great things about this place ranging from their great breakfast to dinner. We got there at 5:30p without a reservation and the host was gracious enough to sit us at a window seat, which was lovely (albeit distracting if you're a people watcher). Our server was friendly and the service was quick. We started off with the blackened scallops, which I had hoped would be 4 to split evenly. But they were delicious. My dad had the horseradish salmon, and I had the Trout Orleans also delicious. Will definitely be back to try other things! read more

The Warehouse - Trout Orleans - Seafood Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I decided to try this restaurant out based on google reviews that mentioned their crab cakes. The decor and atmosphere is simple and elegant, and the hostesses polite and friendly. Unfortunately here's where we take a departure from the positive. The bread brought to my table stale and the butter, allmost too hard to spread. I barely finished one slice. Pomegranate margarita - neither Pomegranate nor margarita were to be found in this drink. It tasted like water down juice. Crab cake entree - though pretty much all crab, thankfully, rhe outer portion was incredibly dry and lacked flavor. The inside was slightly moister. The accompanying sauce did add some flavo, however, disappointed in this crab cake. Key lime cheesecake - is a key lime in the room with us? This was just a regular, mediocre plain cheesecake. My waiter's unpleasant demeanor only added to the disappointment. I will, however, remember the positive energy of the rest of the staff, the beautiful decor and the delightful conversation shared with the 2 ladies next to me :-) read more

We decided for a remarks dinner here on a Friday. They had outdoor seating with a little view of the water if you were looking just right. I enjoyed the Crawfish Étouffée. Because I am from Maryland I added in some lump crab. The server was so nice and welcoming. Definitely coming back. read more

The Warehouse - LOUISIANA CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE* - Seafood Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Landmark restaurant on King St. in Old Town. There's always going to be that one special occasion that is going to bring you back here to dine. From short rib dishes to amazing salmon steaks, all of it is delicious. The servers are on point with the water, bread and service and the food is expedited in a timely fashion. However, the place can become a bit overcrowded the way the tables are assembled and the food is a bit on the pricier side for what is offered. Fun decor of character posters, easy to find on a main street. read more

Amazing portraits/cartoon drawings on the wall. Excellent service! We were seated at the window overlooking Old Towns main strip. I ordered the seafood sampler and espresso martini.

The Warehouse - SEAFOOD SAMPLER - Seafood Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I was visiting with friends and we really enjoyed this restaurant. We were enticed to stop by the beautifully set tables outside and encouraged by the incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. The menu was appealing to all of us and we were all very pleased with our selections. The bread and butter was tasty and I had the Chicken Principle Salad which was excellent. My other friends got an egg dish that had beignets and strawberries and cream. They raved on their meal as well. We are all excited to visit again! read more

This place was a major disappointment. The alligator stew had almost no meat in it was just thick tomato-based soup with none of the substance you'd expect from a Louisiana-style. The bathroom set is upstairs cramped and awkward, but the biggest issue was hygiene. I witnessed an employee use the restroom (get off the toilet seat) then go straight back into the kitchen without washing their hands. That's unacceptable in ant restaurant. I will not be returning. read more

Outstanding service and the food is excellent. We always get the seating of our choice by the window.

I came here with my mom and brother on 5.13.2024, I made a last minute reservation while we were seated at a happy hour spot and was able to easily snag a resy. When we got there, we decided to sit outside since it was nice outside, we were quickly seated and just as quickly greeted by our server. We ordered a couple of drinks and then started with some oysters, I am not a big oyster person, but I tried one and enjoyed it. My brother and mother both liked them. I got the Fruits De Mar for my entree which came with a half lobster, shrimp and jumbo crabmeat, my meal was bomb! There was so much seafood in my dish, they definitely don't skimp on it; it was seasoned perfectly and although it was a filling dish, it was light at the same time. My brother got crab cakes and he was not impressed, in addition his portions were small. I can't recall what my mom got as it was a special, I believe. I tasted it and also don't recall being impressed. The service was excellent, we had a very friendly, personable and attentive server. I really wish I could give half starts as I would give this place a 3.5, although my food was bomb, both my mom and brother's entrees did not match how good mine was. I will most definitely be back as in my gut, I know this spot is higher than a 3.5 spot! read more

I picked The Warehouse for a special outing with family. I figured the menu would have good options. Overall we were satisfied with our experience. We came here thinking that we would be enjoying brunch, but I got my days mixed up. We came on a Friday and brunch is only offered on Saturdays and Sundays. But nevertheless, we were already seated by the time I realized that I would not be enjoying a salmon benedict, and we decided to stay. The atmosphere is fitting for old town, for a dated, fine dining restaurant experience. The server we had was attentive. There was another server that was doing a lot of staring and we felt that if he was there to serve, he should have stopped by to refill our water or ask we needed anything. The side salad came first. The dressing was tasty. The entrees we ordered included the crab and shrimp ravioli and crab cakes. She thoroughly enjoyed the ravioli. I tasted some and the sauce is tasty and rich. There was enough shrimp to ravioli. I ordered the crabcakes, they were decent. The server informed us that the crabcakes were notable from here because they did not use a lot of filler, which was evident on my plate. The mashed potatoes seemed like they were made from a box which wasn't terrible, but not great. The food was satisfactory overall. I will come back to try the brunch. read more

Came here with a group of friends and enjoyed every part of it. Walked in and met my friend, there was no one at the front to seat me but it was an easy find. The service was nice, our waiter was very observant and helpful. I ordered the she crab soup as my appetizer and the New Orleans Smothered catfish as my entree which also came with a glass of champagne. I enjoyed it nonetheless. I really really wish they had a shrimp and grits meal. I would def be back to try other meals because they looked delicious! read more

Went here for a weeknight dinner based on the previous reviews. I heard they had really great steak. I ordered the NY steak with potatoes and asparagus. The highlight of this dish was the potatoes, unfortunately. The steak was cooked to order (med rare) but didn't have much flavor. For $50 I was hoping for a great steak with some flavor. The service was quick, and the server was super helpful with food suggestions. It seemed to be very busy but the food came out pretty fast. I would skip this restaurant if you're in Alexandria. read more

Stopped by on a whim looking for something to eat while in Alexandria. Pictures don't do the food justice as this meal was tasty. I got the smothered catfish which came with gravy topped with crawfish and shrimp on a bed of garlic rice. A ton of food and easily can be shared. We also got the gator bites to share. Those were okay, I think you can skip them. Overall the experience was lovely. Service was very good and attentive and the staff was friendly. I thought the prices were fair for the amount of food. read more

The Warehouse, Alexandria, Virginia Service- The waitress instantly came to our table to serve us with ice cold water, no flavoring, but refreshing. Not long after, our waiter appeared and took our drink orders. Not even 2 minutes after our drink orders, our waiter and waitress arrived with our drink orders and bread with butter. The waiter then asked for our orders, and without writing them down, took our orders and menus. About 4 minutes later, the waiter arrived with our appetizer, calamari. Currently we are still waiting on our food to be arrived, having it be about 12 minutes after ordering, also I am currently waiting for a refill on water since I have been out for about 10 minutes now. The water was refilled about 14 minutes after it ran out, and our food arrived only about 18 minutes after we ordered it. Food- Appetizer- Calamari($15.00): The Calamari was very excellent in taste, especially for me not being a seafood connoisseur. I give it a total ranking out of 10 an 8.5/10. The flavor was even more brought out by the sauce that was added on the side, giving it a fishy, but great taste. Quite a quality appetizer for it being only $15.00. Entrè- Grilled Filet Mignon($48.00) One bite in and this was the BEST steak I have ever tried. The gravy and potatoes also added an even richer taste to the meal. Drinks- (Water) The water was very good tasting especially for not having any lemon/flavoring in it. However, there was an access amount of ice, which caused the water to soon run out. (Lemonade) The lemonade was also very good and was probably one of the best lemonades I have had before, unfortunately however, it was also full of ice causing it to soon run out as well. Dessert- Triple Chocolate Decadence- Quite an amazing way to end this meal, the chocolate was extraordinary and made the meal truly complete. Like all chocolate though, it was quite thick and a little dry, but the whipped cream and raspberry cream made it more savory and added some great flavor to the dessert. End Rating: 4.0 read more

We chose the warehouse for our anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint! We were very happy with the ambiance and the friendliness of the staff. We want to highlight our waiter Mario who was quick , friendly and super attentive. The owner or manager also walked around and made sure everyone was taken care of and even helped the waiters out. He knew what we needed before we asked. The food was amazing with big portions. I could only eat half of my meal. I highly recommend the smothered catfish, she crab soup, and calamari! The wine and the mixed drinks were awesome too! read more

I have to agree with a some of the reviewers on The Warehouse Restaurant. I had the veal tenderloin which was a little tough. It was 1 3/4 thick and 5" round. It was placed over a little mound of mash. My friend had the seafood sampler, my wife ordered the 2 crab cake which was a mess when it arrived. The crab cake looked like it was someone's left over and my other 2 guest had the branzino which was ok. Sadly the service was slowwwwww at a 6:30 reservation. The restaurant was only 3/4 full when we arrived. The atmosphere was comfortable and is reflected in their pics. Average price was reasonable at about 45-$60/ entree. The picture taken was just b4 our first bite. You can judge for yourself. My guest and wife felt the same. My 3 stars read more

Came in during the week and was able to sit at the bar right away. The bartender, Christian, was working very hard to fulfill all his drink orders. He said he had only been there for a few months and was getting the hang of it. I think he did a wonderful job and it was clear he was trying to get orders completed as fast as possible. He definitely deserves a break. I'm a little torn on the food. The charbroiled oysters were delicious, I could've ordered two more plates of them. The bread was baked very well, but the butter was too cold/hard to use. I ordered the salmon with lobster on top. It was very, very little lobster, especially for the price. The three asparagus were cooked well, but the plates could've used a lot more greenery. Mashed potatoes were standard and very good. The salmon was cooked well but lacked flavor. The parts that were heavily seasoned were very good, but I left most of it on my plate because it was flavorless. The hazelnut crème brûlée was also a bust- just way too dense for myself. I love sweets and do not shy away from decadence, but there was very little taste to the dish then melted chocolate. Would definitely return, especially for the oysters, and try some different entrees & desserts. read more

Went to the restaurant with a friend. I wanted to assure she had a great meal as we enjoyed the Alexandra vibe. Been to "The Warehouse" many times. In fact it had become a staple for the Hubs and I to visit. Always enjoyed the Catfish with the crawfish gravy. This time however the focus was more on breakfast. We both ordered catfish with eggs and veg. Wanted to make things a bit more healthy. Fish was under seasoned... greasy.... Blah! Super disappointed. Eggs scrambled cooked until dry and flat.... Ugh.... Veg was steamed, bland, unseasoned.... Tiny portion.... Dammit! Needless to say I was pretty displeased.... Seems like the quality of this long standing, neighborhood go-to is diminishing.... I hope not.... Maybe next time I'll order my regular meal to reset my perception. read more

Why haven't I heard of The Warehouse before. I was in Va and did a Yelp search and this amazing restaurant came up. For a Sunday evening we were able to get a last minute reservation. Upon entering the hostess was very pleasant and seated us early. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. From the appetizer to the entree all of our food was fresh and seasoned to perfection. The oyster's taste as if they came right out of the ocean. Our catfish was seasoned to perfection. The pork chop was so tender. You didn't need a knife to cut it. I have no complaints and I will dine at The Warehouse again. read more

The food was awesome too, I had to take a picture of my niece's chicken sandwich because she couldn't stop raving about it. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavors, the fries were crispy but soft on the inside; and the sauces were SUPER delicious!!! However, my seafood omelet with hollandaise sauce was full of all kinds of seafood and flavor perfectly! So happy we stumbled upon this place. read more

First off the greeting and service was great!! The food not so much! I was excited about the lump crab cakes as we are in VA and close to the ocean! There was so much breading and so little crab it was disappointing. In addition they really were not cooked through. We also ordered a filet steak - it was cooked ok but had very little flavor and was really chewy. Definitely not worth the money we spent. I'm super disappointed!!! read more

So I've been here a couple of times as my husband seems to love it along with everyone we bring here. Definitely a great spot but maybe a tad bit boring for me personally given the price which is why I'm giving 4 stars but I'm sure many of my friends would disagree and give it a five! Also a good place to bring out of town visitors who might be picky eaters, there's something there for everyone. I do appreciate that on our most recent visit some members of our party weren't really dressed for fine dining and yet the staff still treated us wonderfully and with dignity. This is great if you're a tourist in the area dressed for a day of walking and just want to walk in for lunch off the street. Much respect to the great staff! read more

Completely made sense because the food was really good & the staff is very attentive we never had empty glasses on the tape for more than 2 seconds. Our party got the seafood sample & the braised short rib, the bread pudding, the chocolate crème brûlée & the pecan pie . We will be back! read more
