Reston’s been waiting for brothers Ryan, Pat and Matt Tracy, along with cousin John Jarecki, to open their Red’s Table lakeside restaurant, and it looks like foodie prayers may be answered soon — they’re aiming to open in July, according to an online ad posted looking for employees to join the lakeside eatery.

The restaurant will be located at South Lakes Village Center, where the old Lakeside Inn Restaurant and Pub were located, 11150 S. Lakes Dr. The Lakeside Inn operated there since 1991 and closed in 2013.

The name for the new restaurant, Red’s Table, was inspired by the Tracy brothers’ red-haired grandfather they told their high school alma mater, South Lakes High School, last year.

In addition to owning several Five Guys hamburger joints, the brothers’ cousin John Jarecki, has experience in the restaurant business as owner of Light Horse Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria.

And how did the restaurant get its name?

“Our grandfather came over when he was young from Ireland as an Irish immigrant, and for us that’s where our family started,” he told the high school’s Sentinel online newspaper. “We wouldn’t be here without him. It pays homage to our family and at the same time connects the fact that we all grew up in Reston.”

The restaurant will have veteran chef Adam Stein at the culinary helm. In addition to Red’s Table, he’s also associated with Light Horse in Alexandria, Grady’s and previously with The Queen Vic, according to his profile on LinkedIn.

The restaurant placed an ad earlier this month seeking employees:

Red’s Table is hiring for our chef team. We are looking for an AM Sous, Baker, and Junior Sous. Tattoos and piercings are a bonus, but not required. We are aiming for a July opening and are looking for people to help build our team. We will be open for Lunch and Dinner as well as Brunch on the weekends. Red’s will be a scratch kitchen paying close attention to region and seasonality. We will have our own bread program as well as a range of scratch pies and cakes. Focus will be on our large raw bar offerings as well as sustainable finfish and local proteins.

Chef Adam Stein is looking for strong, self-starters with experience who either wants to take a step up or are looking for a change of pace. No yellers, screamers, or plate throwers need apply. A warm, family atmosphere is the aim. If you’re looking for a serious, but relaxed, atmosphere to contribute to a hard working team, then please submit a Brief Cover Letter and Resume to Chef Adam Stein at the email above. Thanks!
