Our favorite Old Town restaurant we visit at least once if not twice when we visit from SoCal. Many romantic dinners there in the mid 90s and returning to it almost 30 years later, it did not disappoint. We have turned family and friends into Warehouse lovers! Highly recommend the crab cakes but everything we’ve ever eaten there from salad to etouffee to steak to oysters to fish is excellent and will be cooked to your liking.
