Since 1963, Clyde’s Restaurant Group has been a staple in the Washington dining scene.

Each has its own personality while all share the same commitment to warm, polished hospitality. With Ebbitt House opening soon in Reston, the story keeps going.

renderings courtesy the Washington Commanders and HKS
From the Washington Commanders:
“The Washington Commanders and HKS unveiled a new set of conceptual renderings for their new world-class stadium in Washington, DC, submitted as part of the ongoing NCPC and CFA review process.
Following the initial renderings released in January, the latest visuals continue to build excitement and momentum around the project, showcasing the vision for a dynamic, year-round destination that blends into the urban fabric of the District and carries forward the city’s architectural legacy.
Designed in collaboration with HKS, the renderings provide the most comprehensive look at the evolving stadium concept, highlighting the exterior facade, expansive entry points and arrival experiences. Updated views of the surrounding plazas and public spaces reinforce the goal of creating a neighborhood gathering place and national stage capable of hosting community programming and large-scale events beyond game days.
As the process continues, the design will continue to evolve as stakeholder and community feedback is incorporated.”
