Hi all. About 5 or 6 years ago I attended a conference in DC and one of the hosted dinners was at a restaurant in Alexandria. I've been looking for this place for a while but with little to go on, I figured I'd maybe ask some people who know the area better than I do. It was a fairly narrow building (almost row house style) with a main dining area on the first floor and a private 2nd floor for events or private dining. They had the BEST lobster bisque I've ever had in my life. I think it was a steakhouse. I know it's not a lot to go on, but figured I might get some ideas to look at pictures for verification. Additionally, please feel free to leave any suggestions for the area as we (toddler in tow) will be back in DC soon and I'm hoping to take at least half a day to go back to Alexandria and try some new places in DC

99.99% sure this is the Warehouse. Here's a pic https://warehouseoldtown.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/warehouse-atmosphere.jpg

I live across the street, great place. Ada's is my new place to recommend right on the water when you are here later this year!

Sounds like the Warehouse to me.

1799 wouldn't be open 5-6 years ago, it just opened. And Restaurant Eve closed before that.

Gadsby's Tavern doesn't seem to have lobster bisque on the menu right now, but it's the sort of place that has group events.

Lobster bisque isn't on their current menu, but it sounds like you're talking about 219:

This could definitely be it too - though it's not super narrow.

Virtue Feed & Grain on the waterfront is good! Do you remember generally how close to the waterfront the place you went was? I don’t see lobster bisque on their current menu but they do have both steak and seafood.
