Considering the drinks cost $12-$14 off the craft cocktail menu, I was very bummed to see that there was no garnish on one, and a lousy small orange wedge on the other. The presentation was that of a dive bar. Also, I looked around and none of the other cocktails seemed to have garnishes either. The Palm tasted like a weak spicy marg and the old fashioned did not taste like a proper old fashioned at all and was watered down with a lot of ice. Disappointed. The ambiance is great and service was fine (we only got drinks) but it's a bummer that the tree below has overgrown and now only a couple of the waterfront tables can actually see the beautiful view because the other tables are blocked by the tree. A simple tree pruning would do the trick! read more

Excellent service, great food. And the atmosphere on the terrace is wonderful! A great place also to catch the sunset :) read more

Had a great experience hosting a 30-guest baby shower at Red's Table this past weekend! Communication from booking to menu selection to logistics coordination was excellent, clear, and prompt. Guests raved about the food variety and deliciousness, and the special event buffet setup they arranged was perfect for our party. Our servers were very friendly, reliably quick, and accommodating, allowing us to set up decorations in the space and even bringing us an extra small table for gifts upon day-of request. Shout out to manager Ryan for helping us plan and execute a fabulous event all around. Highly recommend Red's Table for small parties and for their general restaurant experience! read more

Reserved the private room for a small group. Service was excellent! Very attentive! Food was reluctant the portions were huge! Great cocktails and beer selection! read more

After living in this area since college (over 20 years!), I cannot believe I've never been to this gem of an establishment... Admittedly my restaurant standards are pretty high and this place wowed me on all levels. I was greeted promptly, seated immediately, and offered a drink all within 2 minutes of walking in the door. The menu offerings excited me as much as the amazing lake views. Every single staff member was highly attentive which was really impressive compared to most places I visit. I'm always searching for new brunch spots and this place did not disappoint -- everything we ordered was delish!! I cannot wait to bring friends back and try even more items from the menu. Until next time, bravo to your top notch team! read more

Went to Red's for Valentines Day. Glad I made a reservation because they were almost packed when I arrived. We had some cocktails, a white wine and the Dead Man Walking which were very good. Next was the clam chowder which was prob the best that i have had in a long time. The main courses were the seabass and the scallops which were delicious. The outdoor heated patio overlooking the lake was a nice touch. This was my first time dining at Red's but definitely won't be my last. read more

The food and service was fabulous! Had family in town and we originally asked for table 6, they had no issue helping us make it a table for 7 at the last minute. Our waiter George was very attentive, but not overbearing. I loved how all the waiter staff, as they walk by our table, offered to take an empty plate away. All seven of us enjoyed our entrées. To include the two vegans at the table. Would highly recommend. read more

Great fresh food, great service, and a lovely outdoor space for seating. Would definitely recommend for brunch, lunch or dinner!

Great food in a fun atmosphere. The spare rib ragu I had was outstanding... tender & delicious. Also enjoyed really fresh oysters.

Delish food and beautiful presentation! Great spot for a lunch or brunch and lots of TVs to watch the game.

It's just what we were looking for. Good food, could carry on a conversation, and excellent service.

We used to love coming here. It was always a treat. Man, the food and service has gone downhill. The oysters were poorly shucked, and had clearly been rinsed off after shucking - there wasn't any brine or juice. So they tasted flavorless. The Fresh Catch Special, seafood risotto that the server said had chunks of salmon and was cooked in salmon broth was actually a giant, gelatinous blob of pesto-oey rice with overcooked shrimp and shellfish (I think clams) and lots of broken shells... but no salmon that I could see. One bite and we sent it back. The fries were hot, perfectly spiced and delicious. The salad and cassoulet were both meh. They used to do an amazing duck cassoulet....the current pork one doesn't hold a candle to it. Cocktails were watered down. It also took a long time for them to come out. Service was slow and sporadic. Kitchen runners were on top of things, but servers seemed weeded or just discombobulated. Couldn't tell. Waited 15m to place a drink / appetizer order. Drinks came after we were done with the appetizer. Waited another 20 min to place a dinner order. I flagged one server down to take away my special dish and bring me a menu - but had to wait another 10m before anyone came by to take my new order....which wasn't expedited. So my dinner companion finished their meal about 20m ahead of me finishing mine. Getting the check took a while as well. It was a beautiful night with a great view of the lake, so that helped quite a bit. read more

No clue why this place has close to 4 stars. Probably because of the lake view but if just talking about food and service quality I'd give a 2/5. Ordered calamari, fish n chips, and clam chowder soup. Only the calamari was decent, the others lacked flavor and tasted bland. Service was subpar; the waiter took over 10 minutes to take our order. Edit: 1/5 I felt like puking after same with my girl 5 mins after we left the place read more

I've dined at Red's Table for years, simply because it's close by. They have never figured out that vegans deserve to eat, and not just a salad or a side of greasy spinach or veggies with no seasoning. Notice that I also wrote a review in February, but there hasn't been much improvement. However, now, at least, they list one vegan food on the menu, but the menu does not use the V-label, which is a widely recognized and trusted international symbol for Vegan. Instead, they label vegan food as "veg," which means vegetarian. They are a little confused. The vegan salad they offer could be a complete meal because it includes farro. Bravo!!! But sadly, the salad contains only about a tablespoon or less of farro. If they are going to consider it an entree for vegans, why does the waiter ask if I want to add a meat protein? Their salad with farro is designed to be a complete vegan meal, as it's the only option on the menu for vegans. The chef needs to know that a serving size of farro is typically 2/3 cup (about 194g) when cooked, NOT 1 tablespoon. The serving size provides around 200 calories and is a good source of fiber and protein. Come on, Red's Table, get with the times and recognize that vegans deserve to enjoy an entree instead of a side or salad, having to go home to finish their meal with a grain, quinoa, beans, or one of the other eighteen plant-based proteins. You can surely do better. If I weren't a 30-year vegan, I'd likely give the restaurant a better review. read more

Food was just ok this time and service below average. I wish they'd be more consistent.

The food, service, and atmosphere was great! What not to luv? It's a great place for a nice date. It's especially nice during nice weather when they open up the outdoor deck dining. read more

yummy leisurely brunch after lovely walk thru lake audubon and lake thoreau trails. we shared the large spinach and tomato benedict and blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes while enjoying the view of lake thoreau. read more

It's been a while since we returned... couple of reasons prevented us. Not a fan of metal chairs either in terms of sitting on them or listening to the noise as folks scrape them across the floor as they get up and down. But hubby wanted a Rueben and we figured they gave a house corned beef so we would come in for lunch Let's talk about good first... my maple siracha wings were excellent... Fries served as the side with the Rueben were excellent... I do love home made fries... where things were a serious miss was the rueben. First the bread was burnt around the edges so hubby opted to not eat but to just enjoy the insides... his second observation was the sauerkraut isn't sauerkraut... as it's not very sour... his comment more like half sour... as for the corned beef he felt like part of it was just crumbles... small pieces... but he said the taste was good... but overall as a Rueben not one he cared for at all. Now at this point I would have rated them a three but backing up... while we knew coming in what we wanted the server pointed out the business mans lunch which is a appetizer a main and a non alcoholic drink but only the options listed... ohhhh cool I thought... both the items we want are there... so we asked if we could do that but served together as that's what he wanted... but I got the... ohhh we aren't supposed to do that... I'm not going to argue so we still ordered but it just bugged me in the end... a option for both with a drink st $20 instead of the $28 without a drink we ended up paying for... the pricing makes a difference as we consider our future lunch options going forward and how things fit in the budget... so if they had let us more frequent visits could be planned for So while I adore the wings and fries... this visit just wasn't worth doing a repeat at least for us.... read more

Each year Red's Table hosts our office's Holiday Luncheon, and each year it is a success. The food is wonderful - always fresh, great menu choices, and delicious options. The cocktails are always a hit, and the service is stellar. I can't recommend Ryan and his team highly enough. While meals and cocktails are great there, they host the best events ever, and their private room is just perfect. read more

Great little spot. I had talleggio cream crostini. Soo good Cobb salad was good. Ranch dressing thick and good. Other enjoyed their meals as well. Short rib ragu and crab bisque. Outside seating available with a time limit of 1.5 hours. Had live music but didn't stay for that. Would go back. read more

Fantastic service and our. Run h was scrumptious. I had eggs and bacon and my friend had eggs and sausage. We shared the blueberry pancakes and they were absolutely amazing. Super light and flavorful with a hint of lemon. All the food was delicious and the view on the patio was spectacular! read more

Great food and service always! Standing location for our girls' brunch! We all get different meals, and everything is delicious.

Solid restaurant with nice views. Friendly service. XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX read more

We were taken to our table immediately. George, the server, was very attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good and the portions were ample. The ambiance was fine--clean but nothing special. The outdoor seating area on the lake is probably fabulous in warm weather. Will definitely go again! read more

This was a pretty heavy salad, since it a burrata cheese plus some small pieces of roasted squash. It was good, but I think more squash would've make this a lot easier to eat. Additionally, this could be because I like my burrata melty, but I recommend putting there cheese in hot water to melt the stracciatella and cream in the inside but then immediately dunking it it ice water so the outside is cold. This would have made the salad a LOT tastier. Also, not very much squash. Overall, it was good, but definitely on the pricey side ($16 I think) read more

We had dinner here tonight. Food - burgers. They were above average but not great.. nothing special. $17 Calamari- average, a little greasy Crab bisque - pretty good Service - Everyone except our waitress was great. She just walked up to our table without saying hello or welcome NOTHING. Just 'ready to order?' She's the older waitress. She never came back to check on us during the meal. Just came back at the very end. Thank goodness other people brought us our food and even check. She definitely killed the mood. Ambiance - good. A lot of people and good energy in the restaurant. read more

This is where we bring guests to our new home for a new dinner. This is a local staple with delicious food, local drink options, prompt service and a beautiful patio for enjoying a sunny day looking over the lake. This is one of my favorite places to bring people from out-of-town. read more

Nice servers if I do say so myself, pretty radical lakeside view as well and the food is delectable

What a find! I don't live in Reston but was meeting some friends for brunch on Sunday. Well worth coming back in the near future as it was easy to get to (cute shopping center) and so charming when we walked in, just an overall very good vibe. It was sophisticated and yet friendly. We had a wonderful waiter (wish I could remember his name) but he was that perfect mix of friendly but also wasn't all over us and interrupting the conversation multiple times like I find in so many restaurants of late. I would have never tried the mushroom and rolled oat burger without a friend suggesting as a good vegetarian option. It was FABULOUS. Loved the goat and beet salad as well. Seats were not too close together so we had privacy and didn't feel as though it was too loud. Even though we were indoors on a very chilly day, seeing the lake from our table made us feel we were on vacation! So nice to find a family friendly restaurant that is not a chain and has staff that clearly care about your meal and experience. Keep up the good work, I'm coming back. read more

The food was yummy and the scenery is always serene. I would invite anyone to go and sit on the outside patio.

I had crabcake Benedict & a Bloody Mary. The restaurant is quite clean & the temperature was great. The view of the lake was beautiful. Our server was swift & attentive! Would recommend!! read more

See all

This has been my go to spot for the last year. Service is incredible and food is fantastic. read more

I was expecting the food to be better! My salad was not the best one but it was nice to eat looking at the lake. The service is ok.

I ordered wings, a drink which they forgot a salad and a cheeseburger with delivery it was over $90! I ate two wings and had to stop because there was a nice roach covered in wing sauce - so everything else got thrown in the trash. I did not call the restaurant because I know there's no way to prove it since the food was delivered but either way that is my review. read more

We had dinner on Thursday. Called to make a reservation when we saw that there were no reservations available. Not a problem. We were able to make one. Dinner was great! Visiting from the West Coast. George was our waiter and answered our questions about which dishes would be better. Live music was a plus. Had a fun time!! Purchased merchandise for our kids. Made a suggestion to have Red as an added choice of merchandise. Will be back the next time in town. read more

I'll be back for something different. I had the fish and chips, but there was nothing really great to call home about. It was Friday night, and they had a musical guest there, so it was very noisy. read more

Great restaurant with awesome outdoor patio seating near the water. Raw bar was the highlight of my meal

Great spot! Had the special room for a large group and the food was great! Staff took good care of us.

The food was delicious and service outstanding. The only downside was a very loud party at the table adjacent to ours, which made normal conversation impossible at our table. It was a larger group of 10-12 people who should have been given a back room or more discreet location. read more

I had a lovely lunch here today outside on the patio. The servers were attentive but also gave me space (I dined solo and brought a book) and the food was delicious. I will be thinking about that watermelon and burrata salad for weeks! I also had the turkey sandwich with a cranberry mayo which was very good. Brought home the fried chicken sandwich for my husband and he said it was great. Worth the drive out from Fairfax (a pretty one at that). Can't wait to take my family here! read more
