The Warehouse

Visited for restaurant week and had a top notch experience! Did the 3 courses for $55 and enjoyed a soft crab and crab cake combo with a Cajun bread pudding for dessert! Would absolutely recommend and go back! Sad we didn't get the crab beignets, NEXT TIME!!!

5 stars — Absolutely phenomenal! The Warehouse is hands-down one of the best seafood spots I’ve been to. We ordered the calamari, gator bites, scallops, seafood sampler, and the herb-crusted salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus — and every single dish was delicious. Perfectlyo cooked, seasoned just right, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is charming and laid-back, and the service was on point the entire time. We went on Mother’s Day — one of the busiest dining days of the year — and they handled the crowd effortlessly. Can’t recommend this place enough!

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!

The Warehouse in Washington, DC, was a delightful experience, making it truly memorable. The restaurant has a rich history and a classic, elegant atmosphere. The service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. I started with the crab cakes, which were light and flavorful, and for my main course, I had the filet mignon, cooked to perfection. The sides were also excellent, particularly the mashed potatoes. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Washington, DC!

Nice place to dine, dressed up, or casual.The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is chilled. I'm not big on steak, but since they didn't have any turkey breakfast meat, it wasn't a bad choice. The She Crab Soup was tasty, along with the Lobster Cobb Salad. The Strawberry Double Cream was delicious. I had ordered the bread pudding, but it didn't make the cut. It was overwhelmed by too much nutmeg; I couldn't taste the raisins, bread, etc. After giving critique of the bread pudding, our host, without hesitation, said he'll get it removed off our bill. We'll definitely be revisiting this spot.

What a great place!!! The food is SO Delicious! The staff is amazing: friendly, nice, welcoming! I was here first time and I will definitely return here again! Recommend everyone to try this unforgettable and very pleasant experience!!!

Wonderful Cajun place with a focus on seafood. Good location right on the waterfront. The fried catfish, shrimp, and calamari are great. Good selection of wine, cocktails, and deserts. They have a good brunch menu on the weekend. Large portions and reasonable prices for the location and quality. I do wish it was spicier, as I would expect from a Cajun place, but I do understand the dc taste prefers blander food. Will definitely come back.

The food was delicious. Went as a family and enjoyed the crab soup, alligator bites, branzino, cat fish and shrimp Diane. Oh and the bread pudding was spectacular. Everything was well presented and delicious. It’s an upscale atmosphere with prices to match. Though there are a number of more reasonably priced items. Overall fantastic and would go again. The Alexandria waterfront is an amazing place to go for a night out.

The food was amazing, steaks and crabcake cooked to perfection. The waiter seemed to have a little bit of a hard time understanding me, but got my order down. The creme brulee was different, not the typical, but was so good!

In summary, it was absolutely delicious but very expensive. All my ratings are solely based on the food and not about the service, price, or looks of the place but I will mention them because they are important to others. But I guarantee you will love your meal here. We ordered two fish dishes and the crab beignets and they are phenomenal. The fish was so tender and packed with flavor from the sauces. I got the pecan encrusted haddock and dang I nearly passed out from how good it was. My date had the mustard sauce trout and she had the same reaction. But the surge of pleasure those crab beignets sent through our bodies should be illegal. We were surprised we weren't kicked out of the restaurant from our sounds of ecstatic eating pleasure. Oh and I can't forget this.....the chocolate martini! I am a huge fan and I get them wherever they are served. I even make them at home with the good quality chocolate liquor. So this one they served me was on point! So I definitely suggest you get one. Overall, it was a great food lover experience and I will definitely return down the line. The service is great and the place itself is chill. The price is kinda hefty especially for a large family looking to dine. It was just two of us celebrating a special evening so it was a rare splurge. But if you are ok with the higher than average prices for the area or celebrating something special, then you should definitely make a reservation at the Warehouse.
