Warehouse Bar and Grill is good anytime of year, but especially in summer when they have softshell crabs with lump crabmeat on their menu. Delicious. Won't be a drop of food left on your plate. Casual atmosphere. Dress up or Dress down. Be sure to ask for a table downstairs and by the window if you can. Upstairs has no... More

This restaurant is really cool, the service excellent, the food delectable (get the filet mignon Chesapeake - filet mignon topped with crab). Excellent desserts. A winner for date night as well as a great place to eat with friends. Friendly, small back bar to sip a glass of wine before dinner.

Lovely! You could dress up or wear shorts and still be made welcome by the friendly staff. Wasabi fried oysters rock and the off the menu kids options are great! And the sketches on the wall are worth a look alone! Don't miss!

Open for breakfast/brunch on the weekend. Great menu selection, nicely presented food. Fresh oysters were great. Entrees were all good, just not wonderful. However, we'd go back.

What a wonderful discovery. Great ambience, really friendly wait staff. Menu has a touch of New Orleans to it and yet it's unique at the same time. Everything on the menu looked really good and it was hard to choose just one thing.

The food was creative and perfectly prepared. The étouffée was spectacular. The server was knowledgeable and helpful without being intrusive. An elegant restaurant with a comfortable feel.

We had a birthday lunch here this week and really enjoyed it. It is definitely a small elegant restaurant to dine (2 level restaurant with tables with white tablecloths) - located right on King Street - lovely view of the cobblestone sidewalks in this historic port dating to the 1600's - right on the Potomac River. The menu is extensive... More

I live in a big seafood area, so I am a bit picky when it comes to seafood restaurants. I was in Alexandria on a business trip. Some associates and I went to Warehouse on the recommendation of a friend. We started with raw oysters which were big and plump - better than most restaurants. We all got different entres,... More

A great suggestion by a colleague - we were warned to book which we did for 1830 and glad we did given the queues (even bigger when we left). I had gumbo which was pleasant but not highly spiced as I would prefer. Mains chosen were crab cakes and fish- both excellent. Wine list was brief but of good quality... More
