Nine friends recently enjoyed a luncheon to celebrate a milestone birthday at Red's Table on their closed patio. It was a beautiful spring day and our table overlooked Lake Thoreau with the dogwoods and cherry trees in bloom. Everyone's food was excellent, our server was very accommodating and of course the ambiance couldn't have been better. We were able to bring our own cake and our waitress helped serve it. We all had such a wonderful experience that we decided to have all our birthday celebrations there in the future! Faye C. read more

The service and food are excellent, the location is very pretty to boot! Only thing I'd perhaps do differently is make the ciabatta the standard bread for the turkey sandwich. It doesn't quite work on the hamburger buns. Otherwise, well done! read more

Really enjoyed this restaurant. The covered patio is nice with a lovely lake view. The outside temps were low 60's so with the indoor heaters, the patio was the perfect temp. Our only complaint is that it took a while for a server to come by (we had to ask for one). But otherwise everything was great. The fried chicken sandwich was AMAZING along with the onion rings. I was worried the ciabatta bread would be hard but it wasn't at all. Everyone at my table loved their food. read more

Red's Table Reston always delivers great, very tasty food. Our family loves to eat at Red's, specially in the awesome balcony overlooking the lake, and or use take outs to enjoy the food at home. Love its extended hours of operation, and the friendly customer service. read more

Love the crispy sweet potato salad! Fresh and delicious. My mom and I love to meet her for lunch, it feels like vacation sitting on the deck over looking the water. I also super appreciate the changing table in BOTH the men's and women's restrooms. My husband was able to take diaper duty for once! read more

I made a large party reservation and the email communication was quick and responsive. The area at the back of the restaurant where the room was great. It was perfect for our gathering! Also our server Warren was fantastic and the food was delicious. Highly recommend, it was great! read more

I was happy to be able to try Red's Table for brunch. Service was friendly. We were seated on their enclosed and heated outdoor area. It was great to have the heat on a winter's day, but when the heat became too much for us, the waitress was so kind to the heat for us so that we were more comfortable. I tried the brunch poutine, shrimp and grits, and smoked salmon benedict. I really enjoyed the poutine and shrimp and grits. The shrimp was well seasoned and cooked, and the grits were cheesy and fluffy. I thought the salmon Benedict was bland, so probably wouldn't get that in the future. If you haven't been, I definitely recommend giving Red's Table a try. It sits on a lake, so is also really scenic. read more

Took my parents here on Mother's Day. Had a reservation & arrived early. For the reservation, had stated my preference for being seated on the patio, and if not, then by the window w/ a view of the water. Our table was inside w/ the feeling of strong cold air felt from the a/c. The restaurant was noted to be fairly crowded. Noted that the service was beyond slow w/ very few servers. I believe we didn't receive glasses of water for over 10+ minutes, then a server didn't come to our table for over 20+ minutes. After that I think our server came back maybe 1X. When we wanted something, we had to ask other workers passing by our table. It took over 45+ minutes for our food to arrive. The service was beyond awful & shocking for a day that most everywhere is packed. When we received our bill, there were many items on it that we hadn't ordered. We asked to speak w/ the manager. He quickly came by & owned up to the lack of service & overall negative experience that we had. He provided us everything free of charge w/ a gift card. The whole night was very anxiety provoking & the food was mediocre. Unfortunately will not be returning there. read more

Great food great service come here twice a week and sometimes on the weekend. The mood is always just right .

We hosted a Bridal Shower in the private room and it was wonderful! There was no rental fee for the room or no food and beverage minimum! We were able to decorate as we wished and we brought in a balloon arch and our own flowers. The Manager, Ryan was in constant communication to make sure the room was set up the way we needed. When we arrived, the room was completely set up and our server Bailey, was there to help in any way needed! She had sparkling wine ready as the guests arrived, we truly couldn't have asked for a nicer afternoon for our Bride to Be! Oh, did I mention the food was fantastic?! Each guest ordered what they liked off the menu. Truly a wonderful experience, we will be back for Sunday Brunch!! read more

We had a fantastic brunch. It was a beautiful late fall morning on the patio overlooking the lake. Allie our server was excellent and the food was really well done. We had a few appetizers - goat cheese balls, crab dip, and boom boom shrimp, along with chicken and waffles and a couple breakfast sandwiches. Lots of layers of flavor, really fresh, really well done. Wish we were closer so we could visit more often. read more

I don't live close to Red's but each time I dine here, I think to myself, "I should come here more often." And it's true! Red's is a such an easy, pleasant, reliable spot to enjoy a meal and drinks. Service: friendly, accommodating, attentive (but not overly so!), knowledgeable Food: quality ingredients, nice portions (not insane amounts of food but you're not leaving hungry), and nicely presented (without being fussy). And although I'm not vegetarian or vegan, they have a few nice selections for those who are. Atmosphere: comfortable and warm inside. Outside seating (when the weather is amenable) is an absolute delight (soothing water view, anyone?). Logistics: they take reservations (always appreciated), and there is ample free parking. Red's, I hope you're around for a long time. And I hope I remember to join you more often. Keep up the good work. read more

The staff is friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is awesome - great lake view and roomy interior. I like the local beer selection - both on tap and cans. The food is really good and also has a lot of local selections. Going to a place like Red's feel like a unique Reston experience, it's not just another cookie-cutter restaurant. read more

Great ambiance though I will say it was a bit loud for my father in law (who refuses to get hearing aids). Love the salads and the grilled shrimp. Great beer selection. My husband loves the burger. read more

Delicious food, portions just the right size, friendly but unobtrusive service, beautiful setting! A local friend took me to this gem. We enjoyed our sweet potato salad with steak and shared dessert afterwards, on a lovely autumn afternoon. There were other diners on the patio but we all had plenty of room and the sound level and temperature were just right. Will definitely recommend to anyone heading to the area!! read more

The service was excellent. Dom, our waiter, made recommendations without being pushy. Food was outstanding. And everyone at the restaurant was friendly and helpful. read more

This restaurant is located in a busy shopping center and it is set by the Patomic River in Reston. Their a large food choice. We were a private party of 10, so we had our own private room/type covered balcony. This is a venue my company uses frequently, and we're always very pleased with their service. Their appetizers were great, as well as the entrée. There's a full bar, and their prices are reasonable. It's a great venue for company events. We'll be back here in a few weeks for another company dinner. Great place, and I recommend it. read more

I simply love this place. I have been going to this place for over 7 years now, and it has never failed to bring a smile on my face . The servers are always smiling and welcoming. The menu is simple and mouth watering. You really can't go wrong. Their drinks are really good. And the most fabulous part of this place is the lake location. One really can't beat this. read more

Lovely restaurant with beautiful view. Good food & drink options. Friendly service. Highly recommend.

Was here last week for the first time. WOW. I've lived in this area for 8 years and never went. Sat outside looking over the lake and the fresh air and ambiance was amazing. Inside was too noisy and no view. Ordered the burger and onion rings which were both very good. Burger was perfectly prepared but the onion rings. Oh my gosh. The best I've ever had. Literally the best. I would go back and just order two plates of those. I was so surprised this restaurant was in my neighborhood and I've never been there. What a gem. read more

RT is one of our favorite brunch place. Always hits the spot when it comes to taste and ambience.

This lakeside spot in Reston is everything you want in a local favorite, stunning views, warm ambiance, and a team that genuinely cares.

Whether you're catching up with friends or having a low-key meal with little ones, Red's Table makes it feel easy and elevated. Consistently excellent. read more

Stopped here for Sunday brunch. Red's Table is part of larger shopping area with ample parking nearby. Its waterfront location has a nice view of the lake both in and outside. The outside area is open during nice weather and has a cover during winter. Seating was prompt and we started with coffee and mimosas, both were good. Brunch was a pair of Benedicts: Tomato & Spinach and Red's Biscuits & Gravy. Both were well made and hearty. Service was friendly. read more

We just had our second corporate event at Red's, and I cannot say enough about this restaurant! Ryan and staff were great to work with from beginning to end. Quality of the food, presentation, friendliness of staff- cannot say enough! The restaurant itself is the perfect location on the lake- whether it is December or a beautiful warm day in the spring. Red's never lets us down!! read more

Cool place for being in a shopping center. The food was very well presented and full of flavor. There were a couple other menu items that looked interesting, so when back in the area, I'll be back. Little bizarre is they paper clip the check to a post card when they present it. If you remove the paper clip and post card to read the check and give your credit card, the will attach another postcard, with a paper clip, when they return the charge receipt and your card. It's so strange, I had to ask. Turns out the post card is backing for the charge receipt not to curl and so the pen will actually write. read more

We just had a horrible experience at Red's table. Went there with my wife and daughter, and we ordered the goat cheese fritters, kid's pomodoro pasta, ricotta gnocchi and the NY strip steak. The good: The goat cheese fritters were good, no complaints. The bad: The kid's pasta was raw, not al dente. (also, who would even make pasta al dente for kids?). When I say raw, I mean you could see the thick white strip of uncooked pasta when you cut the penne in half. The horrible: Both the gnocchi AND the steak tasted like rancid oil, or rancid meat or something. We tried the gnocchi first, and immediately gagged. We tried to flag down our waitress, but she took a while coming over. In the meantime, I tried the steak, and ...same exact taste! Seriously awful, off-putting rancid taste. We immediately went in and told the waitress. She asked if we wanted them to cook it again...like, no, I don't want NEW rancid food. The fact that TWO different dishes had the exact same awful taste is a pretty good indication that it's something bigger than just the one dish. They brought the check, and we paid for the fritters and the pasta and got out of there as fast as possible. The most frustrating thing was, nobody apologized, there was no coupon or comping of anything we DID eat, nothing. With disgusting food and awful management, we will never go back to Red's table. read more

Ryan and the team made my company's private event so easy and flawless. I reached out regarding reserving the private space, heard back within the hour and they reserved it for us. They were so flexible when rescheduling the time to earlier. To top it all off the service was fantastic as well as the food. Highly recommend! read more

I have probably been here five times over the last few years. There are some strong pros, but also some improvement opportunities: Pros: - this restaurant is a small business gem in a sea of chain restaurants and fried food joints - the location on the water is unbeatable if you can snag an outdoor seat - the mushroom and rolled oat burger is an awesome vegetarian option! It has structure and bite (aka not mushy) and comes with fries, onion rings, or a side salad - the parking is easy and the waitstaff has been consistently friendly - the food is always fresh and flavorful - the beer menu is extensive and features fun local options Opportunities: - there is no clear system for outdoor seating, which is very frustrating since we come here specifically because we can eat outdoors - sometimes we wait 10 minutes and others 45, even if we see an available table - the menu is unclear given that the sandwiches come with a choice of side - the menu only has one vegetarian appetizer, one vegetarian sandwich, and one vegetarian pasta option - the menu's pricing is all over the place, which makes splitting with another couple difficult and/or awkward - the appetizers are expensive relative to the portions provided read more
