Ebbitt House plans to open at Reston Station in September 2026. The new restaurant is the first expansion of the Old Ebbitt Grill name beyond its longtime Washington DC home.
The Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce lists a September opening. Ebbitt House’s own website currently says fall 2026, so the month is the best public target rather than a confirmed opening day.
Ebbitt House at Reston Station: Quick facts
What is Ebbitt House?
Ebbitt House is a new Northern Virginia sister restaurant to Old Ebbitt Grill, the historic Washington DC restaurant operated by Clyde’s Restaurant Group. It is not another Old Ebbitt Grill location with the same name. The Reston restaurant has its own identity while carrying over the American menu, oyster bar and busy happy-hour format associated with the original.
The restaurant is taking shape in Reston Row, the newer section of Reston Station across from the JW Marriott. The opening marks the first time the Old Ebbitt name has been extended into a separate restaurant concept.
What will Ebbitt House serve?
Ebbitt House says the menu will center on American classics, along with a raw bar and oyster program. Two indoor bars and an outdoor bar are planned, and the restaurant is promoting happy hour as part of the concept.
A complete menu, prices, happy-hour schedule and opening-day hours have not been published. Those details should be treated as unconfirmed until they appear on the official Ebbitt House website.
How big will Ebbitt House be?
The current official plan calls for a 250-seat dining room, two indoor bars and a 125-seat patio with its own bar. Ebbitt House also lists two private dining rooms, with additional areas available for group events.
Older announcements described a 300-seat dining room. The restaurant’s current website lists 250 seats, so that is the number DC Spot is using ahead of opening.
