    a display case filled with food
    Kareem T.

    THIS IS THE BEST "LOCATION" IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR SOMEONE AT THE INTERNATIONAL ARRIVAL!!! The only reason to go there is the premium location! Unfortunately I wanted to like this place and I think I can spend the time there drinking my regular Espresso and water and enjoy a premium spot facing the door so I can immediately meet whoever I'm waiting for! Also the hours are a bit lame! They don't open early enough even that flights start arriving before 5 am! It's the best time for them to be opened but they would be closed! This terrible experience happened when I was using their To-Go side! I saw the nice Espresso machine ( the machine is really good one!!) and thought they will be better than Starbucks! I stood by the cashier and I saw nobody! I was waiting patiently and kept looking around, looked at the menu! Took my photos for Yelp then I started to wonder? I started saying Hello?? (Nicely, lol) then I started to hear a voice like someone is talking softly or whispering (don't worry, breathe normally, no suspense hear at all! lol) then I looked where the sound is coming from and I saw the cafe employee sitting on the floor and talking over the phone thru her Bluetooth headset!! I was like, wow!! Ok!! We all use our phones during work but most of us has the respect to leave it when we see our customers/clients or coworkers ! I asked the lady, can I get a latte with skim / fat free milk, The answer was no, we don't have it!! How about %2 or %1 ? The answer was still no! Then I finally asked, then what do you have? The answer was only "regular" milk! Took the regular milk and the employee is still on her phone the whole time! I even wanted to skim the foam or get a spoon to do it myself but she was too distracted to hear me and when she did, it took her a few moments to realize what I need! Also look at the display in the photo? Very dull ! One or two choices! Unfortunately the place is probably having slow business because maybe not so many people like to spend money waiting for their loved ones to arrive from international trips ! But this place has seen a different glory when it opened years ago! I wish there could be a solution to refresh it and bring it back as it was! I'll still use it to sit down and have espresso and water! Try it but be careful of what you order and you won't be disappointed !

    Not much to say here lol. This is an airport sit down restaurant & they also have walk up counter service. Was waiting for my son to come out of customs, from visiting family in France for the Holidays, & it was pouring rain out so we got a coffee & a water to enjoy while we waited. We did not eat & got out bevs from the counter service instead of the little restaurant. They have pasties, sandwiches, pizza & snacks as well as coffees, teas & cold drinks. Cashier was nice and had a warm smile when she helped us. Would wait here again... maybe get a real bev if the weather was better.

    Good food but not so great service. I had a few hours to kill before my Global Entry appointment so I decided to stop here and get some lunch. I sat at the bar, but the bartender was nowhere to be found, so I sat at an empty bar for a few minutes before one of her colleagues informed her that she had a customer. There were lots of delicious options on the menu, but I decided on the lasagna... and it was really good. It was served with a few slices of bread which were fantastic for soaking up some of the extra sauce. The portion was commensurate with the price and it was a great lunch overall. I only saw the bartender again after she dropped off my check and then disappeared. I waited for at least 10 minutes for her to come back and pick up the check. Finally I had to ask one of the kitchen staff to get her to come out and close out my bill. Not sure what she was doing that had her so preoccupied, but it was obvious that she definitely didn't come with the intention of working today.

    I'm giving Cafe Americana 1 star due to their costumer service and their inability to make a hot cup of coffee. I came to have a nice cup of coffee while I wait for my dog to arrive from Brussels. I walk up to the counter and see a worker hunched over the counter on her phone. I stood right in front of her and not once did she look up at me. I thought maybe I'll stand by the register. Still she didn't come over but other workers just stood and stared at me. I went back over to the woman on her phone and asked if she was open. She looks up and slams down her phone. I order a large cappuccino hot and just started to look everywhere except at the woman who was just giving me a smug look while making my coffee. She told me the price and I paid. I took a sip of my drink expecting it to be hot but it was warm at best. I told her that my drink wasn't hot and asked if she could heat it up. She rudely tells me she would have to dump it and make another. Not wanting to deal with the rude woman anymore, I walked away and sat down. As I was sitting there drinking my cold cappuccino, a gentleman comes over to me and asks if he could order the coffee here. I told him he could, he would have to go around the column to the register. Once the gentleman walks away, the manager comes over popping her gum and told me that I can't tell people that they have to order here and that I needed to get up and leave because I couldn't sit here and drink my coffee. I told her that I had ordered it from here and I was going to sit here and finish my drink. She just stood there popping her gum while giving me a dirty look. I turned my head towards her and asked if she had an issue and she just walked away. She is still standing like 10 feet away popping her gum and giving me a dirty look. I don't know how the food is but if it's anything like the customer service or the cold cappuccino then it's not worth my time. I would beware if you attempt to come here to eat or get a drink while you wait.

    This is my first time visiting Caffe (bar)... It can be said that this shop is very convenient when you just get off the plane, walk into the baggage claim room and you will see , even beer , but I only had one drink. coffee to wake up, coffee is not as strong as I thought, but not bad either.

    After visiting a two other VA/MD breweries, my expectations were really low on my quest for some…read moregood craft beer. Ocelot felt like craft beer the moment we walked in. Dark woods, colored lights stickers, TV playing, music going and the vats for brewing. Walked up and took a seat at the empty bar, arriving minutes after they opened on a Monday. Looked at the tap menu, as well as can for sale. My sister ordered a lemon lime cider and I decided on a Polvo Pils. After that trip to Prague, I will always search out a good pilsner. Ocelot had a wonderful pilsner, served properly. I followed this up with Little Black Book. Can you ever go wrong with a nitro tap beer? The answer is no. So, after two rounds, I was impressed with the beer, definitely better than what I had tasted the previous days. The beertender was attentive, the decor was somewhat eclectic, lots of colored lights strung from the ceiling. Barrels against the wall, as the main beer hall opened up to the production side of the establishment. The pinball room was awesome, wall to wall pinball machines, light flashing, looked like it would really be a happening place at quitting time. All in all it was the best beer experience I had while visiting. Would recommend a stop if you don't want to battle traffic out of IAD at the wrong time of day.

    This was our first stop on our brewery run. We liked the eclectic decor and the game room. Playing…read morepinball was a ton of fun! Beers were good but in my opinion, I wish they had more variety and allowed 5-6 oz pours. We didn't see any food but saw they sometimes have food trucks there so that's good. Otherwise, it's a good solid 3.5, not bad!

Chef Anthony DiGregorio is doing something really special here. From the moment you walk in, the whole place just feels inviting. The open kitchen adds a fun buzz, and the staff couldn't be nicer--they really make you feel taken care of without it ever feeling over the top. And the food... wow. The charcuterie board has this melt-in-your-mouth pâté and amazing cheeses. The prawns are so good you'll catch yourself reaching for "just one more" every time. The tuna tartare is unbelievably fresh--one bite and you're hooked. The burrata with heirloom tomatoes is bright and flavorful, and the duck special? Let's just say you won't want it to end. Then dessert shows up--a cherry blossom cake that's light, beautiful, and just screams spring. Everything comes out on gorgeous Pordamsa plates, and honestly, each dish looks like it belongs in a photo gallery. No matter what you order, you really can't go wrong. Your taste buds will thank you. And bonus--it's just a short Metro ride from DC, so getting there is easy. I've also heard the hotel has great packages, and if you stay for breakfast, the deliciousness keeps going! Go. You'll be glad you did

The food was absolutely outstanding--beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and memorable. The drinks were just as impressive. Creative, perfectly balanced, and expertly made, they elevated the entire experience and paired wonderfully with the meal. What truly tied everything together was the service. Attentive, friendly, and professional without ever feeling intrusive. The staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of from start to finish. Whether you're going for a special night out or simply want an excellent meal with fantastic cocktails, The Simon is a must-visit. We can't wait to come back.

    This was my second visit to this location…read more As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by staff members. They let me check out the place before being seated. The bar area is self-seating.I chose to sit in the bar area...the only remaining big table with high chairs/table...it was packed! The happy hour is pretty awesome here. They have daily happy hour from 4-6 pm, which is pretty awesome, starting early and ending late. There is also a power hour from 3-6, where everything on the happy hour menu is $5, which is a little early!! The menu includes regular bar food and a variety of drinks (as shown in the picture). We ordered the following: -Let that "man"go - in general it's an iced drink, so I'd avoid. -Spicy pina marg - another iced drink. It was ok. -I'm Ron Burgundy (2x)- this had a nice strong coffee flavor, doesn't come with ice; I would highly recommend it...they made it so good!!! -Maker's mini nachos - There proportion of chips to toppings was off there wasn't enough toppings and too many chips, but there was a lot of cheese. -Calamari was a good portion, and tasty -Chicken tenders - they were delicious and moist There are so many items to choose from on the power hour/happy hour menu. I would definitely recommend lil B and the wings. There was live music, which was just way too loud for such a small space. We would have been okay with all the music. There is plenty of parking available in nearby garages, I believe free after 5pm. There is also timed/paid parallel parking. Would I return? definitely!
