Ebbitt House, one of Clyde’s Restaurant Group’s latest concepts and the sister concept of historic Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington, DC is opening in the Spring of 2026. We are seeking a talented Executive Chef to join our team and lead the opening. Ebbitt House will import Old Ebbitt’s popular menu of American classics, twice-a-day happy hours, oyster-fueled raw bar, and plentiful seafood towers. Ebbitt House is “a stylish modern spin” on the original, which will feature 300 seats inside, two bars, and room for 125 outside on its patio, which will also have its own bar.
The restaurant is part of Reston Station, an 80-acre mixed-use development near Metro’s Wiehle-Reston East Station that is home to regional headquarters for titans like Google, Spotify, and Rolls-Royce of America.
This position is ideal for an Executive Chef with experience managing large teams in a complex, high-volume, and creatively dynamic kitchen. We are looking for someone who can deliver an excellent culinary experience, maintain a pristine facility, create a fun and exciting menu and foster a high performing team. Ebbitt House is owned by Clyde’s Restaurant
