The Ebbitt House Story
Ebbitt House carries a name Washington has known since 1856 into a new chapter at Reston Station. From Clyde's Restaurant Group, and built on the foundation of Old Ebbitt Grill, it brings great American fare, a serious raw bar, and a room that comes alive around the bar. Come in for oysters and a martini, gather around the table with friends, or settle in for a steak and a bottle of wine. Stay as long as you like. We'll take care of the rest.
It Began in 1856.
In 1856, a modest boarding house in Washington took the name Ebbitt House. It soon became more than a place to stay. It became a place to gather, known for warm hospitality and a seat close to the city's history.
Its dining room grew into Old Ebbitt Grill, Washington's oldest saloon and one of its most celebrated restaurants. Now the Ebbitt House name returns.
Same DNA. Its Own Story.
Old Ebbitt Grill is the foundation. Ebbitt House is the next chapter.
Both share great American fare, service built around the bar, and an iconic raw bar program. Both hold the same standard of hospitality. But where Old Ebbitt Grill tells the story of Washington, Ebbitt House is writing its own in Reston, with its own menu, its own room, and a point of view all its own.
What to Expect
The menu is rooted in classic American cooking with a few surprises along the way. Start at the raw bar, where the Ebbitt oyster tradition carries on. The kitchen offers housemade pastas, seafood, and steaks worth settling in for, alongside plates made to be passed around the table. It's food you'll recognize and come back for, prepared with care and served with a little personality. There's a thread of nostalgia throughout, but the point of view belongs entirely to the present: a new restaurant with an old soul.
Room for Every Occasion
A dining room for just over 275, two lively bars, and two private dining rooms for when the evening calls for a door that closes. Outside, a covered patio with 125 seats and its own bar makes the most of every season. Designed by Studio K of Chicago, the space pairs classic details with a lighter, more modern palette.
Good to Be Back
For more than 30 years, Clyde's of Reston was part of this community. When the chance came to return, Clyde's Restaurant Group didn't hesitate. If you knew Clyde's of Reston, you'll recognize the warmth. Everything else is new: its own menu, its own character, and its own place in Reston's story.
You may recognize a few faces, too. General Manager Ajay Bhatia and Executive Chef Diego Ramirez both worked at Clyde's of Reston. Ajay brings more than 40 years in hospitality and is looking forward to reconnecting with his regulars. Diego leads a kitchen shaped by years at Clyde's of Georgetown and Clyde's of Reston.
