Monday afternoon, able to seat self, prompt service, lovely wine selection. Had the burrata and J Lohr Cab- absolutely zero complaints! Was a lovely way to spend time waiting on flight. read more

Small airport restaurant with a bar & table service. THE DEETS: They are definitely busy at eight in the morning before flights causing some chaos and inattentiveness from the staff and confusion for the customers. But the Olympics are on so all good! FOOD/BEV: We got some OJ, hot coffee (no refill offered) and a chicken sausage biscuit Sammie with a cage free egg fried egg, chicken apple sausage, caramelized onion and mozzarella. It actually came with two small biscuits, which was plenty to share, and the home fries were a nice mix of potatoes and plantains. AMBIANCE: Sadly some bunghole two chairs down is having a FaceTime convo on his cell phone speakerphone like he's in a stadium and every other word is the F bomb or very inappropriate convo. The employees are oblivious to this obnoxiousness the everyone is subjected to and how they ignore it. I do not know but I'm not ready for that yet nor should I HAVE to be exposed to it either lol. He is also addressing the female employees as mamacita & mami! Such an ignorant tool! Employee is picking up dirty glasses with fingers around the rims of the glass and no hand washing after eeeww. She also dropped a clean glass in the trash's and simply picked it out and put it back with the other clean glasses triple eeewww!!! Food was ok, service was chaotic and sporadic but friendly-ish. Unacceptable to have to deal with the other customer's BS. Not a vibe at all! 2/20/26 read more

Salmon and salad was good. However, the shrimp had excess salt. Too much of it. The salad sauce a bit too much but not as much a problem as the salted shrimp. How do you estimate your salt? read more

Quick order process from table. Attentive servers from ordering more and bussing table. Just what you want in an airport restaurant. A little tight/crowded from a table placement standpoint but that's my only know. Food was tasty. Ordered breakfast for an early flight. read more

Lemon chicken was delicious. A bit pricey, even for an airline restaurant, but it was still good read more

The service was beyond bad and the chicken was drier than Melania's vag when she sees her orange husband.

Standard day at the DC airport. Fairly busy late lunch period on a Thursday. I ordered take out and they said about 10 minutes and it came out in 8. I had the salmon wrap and fries. It was as expected, good not necessarily exceptional. The salmon wrap had good flavor and the pickled cabbage provide a good balance of acid. The fries were ok, they looked seasoned but could have used a dash of salt and a better fry. The service was good even though they were pretty busy. read more

Oh gosh, I ate here many years ago and was disappointed. This time my husband and I really enjoyed. On the other hand, we were with hordes of people stuck because of the weather. The service was great, the servers were way overworked and yet, helpful and good. The food was ok. I imagine it's not a good idea to choose a rare burger at this place. My husband had the roast chicken sandwich. Nevertheless, it served our needs. Thank you read more

Here for a quick stop between flights, I ordered the sear tuna the food was OK. The salad came kind of dry so if you want more dressing I would ask for it. This was quick seared and mostly raw throughout so depends on how you like your tuna seared. I ordered water and it never came. Service is quick they try to get you seated quickly. There is WiFi and you can do work while you enjoy a meal. I'd recommend ordering one of their classics hot meals. Right next to the D gates read more

The service was great, the burger was the best I've had in a long time from an airport restaurant. It was a good way to pass the time especially when your already two hours wait for a flight is extended another two hours. All airport food is pricey but this place was worth it. The only thing missing is a nap room. read more

I ordered the Kapnos nachos; it includes seared tuna. It was so awful. The tuna had turned bad. The waitress wouldn't give anyone water. Terrible experience. A woman next to me ordered something w cheese (maybe burrata) and that seemed decent. I think as long as you don't order fish, you're good. read more

Oof! While 3 "workers" behind the bar gossiped and complained for 20 minutes, they couldn't even take the time to pour two glasses of wine. It's not like we asked for a fancy drink. At $23 a glass, there's no way I was going to slam the beverage in order to make my flight. Come on. Where is the Manager keeping people on task?. And where are the grownups who understand their job is to serve the customers? I have been, and I walked out with our money in our wallet and no wine TERRIBLE!! read more

5 small shrimp. 19.99. You decide... unfriendly servers and small cocktails. Overpriced even for the airport.

They serve a good Aperol Spritz and my shrimp were fine. My server was very accommodating when I wanted to move. I wasn't a fan of the openness of the restaurant. But it was a good place in terminal D to get a bite read more

So, it's airport food, but I'm being generous because this food was decent and last time I was at DCA for breakfast I ate somewhere else and the food was nearly inedible. This was solid, and basic, but not bad! I had the egg white spinach wrap which was like something I'd make at home for a quick breakfast so, again, not bad! The frozen, toasted hash brown patty was fine as well. The coffee was decent which is critical before an early flight. Service was fast and good. Tables are spaced far enough apart to accommodate carry on luggage. Definitely not a bad breakfast option at DCA. read more

I wasn't expecting much from an airport Greek restaurant gateside, but I do have to give high marks for my personal experience here. After going through security, I was walking through the terminal looking for a breakfast spot before my flight. I had about a half hour to enjoy a meal. I came across Kapnos, and had a seat at the bar. They were fairly busy, but not packed by any means. I was greeted quickly by Sara, who was attentive and helpful, and offered quick service. I ordered the Greek omelette with a side salad instead of potatoes. She did try to upsell me on a $7 side of bacon or sausage...in fact, the only downside of the entire meal was the price of all of the items on the menu, the omelette no exception. Though, that's kind of expected in an airport. The Greek omelette was prepared perfectly and super tasty, as was the side salad. I really liked that the Greek salad used some of the same Greek spice blend that was in the omelette. It was honestly a nice, tasty yet simple pre-flight meal that I'd go back for if flying through DCA at breakfast. And I still had time to spare before boarding my flight to get a few gifts for my nephew and niece. read more

Especially at an airport, it's great to find a restaurant with some fresh & healthy options - the black pepper tuna flatbread did the trick, plus was tasty and filling! With friendly and quick service, this was a perfect option before a long flight. Located in terminal 2, in the D gate area near the end. read more

Here we go, As my flight was delayed 5 times I figured I would get me something good to eat. This restaurant was my choice. Well as I approached the restaurant which was in the airport the waitress wasn't all that friendly. I was hungry so I just brushed her attitude off didn't want any bad energy on my food. In order to view the menu you had to down load it on your phone. That was Ok because it prevents the spread of germs. Sitting quarters was very tight but I made it work. I ordered the tavern bacon burger. It was cooked well done like I liked it. It had a different type of cheese on it which made the burger taste different but good. Also ordered was a lamb gyro. It was delicious . Overall experience was ok. I will visit the restaurant again if I go back to that airport. read more

$23 burger tasted as if he hey went to the gas station and bought a refrigerated burger and microwaved if and served it to me. Also bartender go in an argument with the person next to be because she wanted him to pay before he got his check. SMH read more

The owners need to hire a new team. I sat and waited 15 minutes to try to order, flagging 3 servers. All ignored me. The digital ordering system didn't work and didn't allow me to order. Same with at least 2 other tables that sat the same time as me, so I left. Totally unacceptable especially in an airport. I was ready to pay the absurd price for being in the captive airport market. These restaurant owners are wasting their valuable concession. read more

For an airport meal, we both enjoyed our choices (burger and chicken sandwich). Fries were hot and lightly seasoned. Service is limited to your meal being delivered. You have to scan the QR code to order and pay. We did have a hostess to seat us but other than that limited human interaction LOL. I had eaten at a kapnos over by Logan circle years ago that was amazing as I recall. This time, not so much, but not terrible either. read more

Service was TERRIBLE. The servers were noticing that I was calling them and ignored me. Food was okay but I'm not coming back only because of the BAD service. read more

The Greek salad had canned roasted red peppers and chicken was super dry. Then, charged me $5 for a club soda. Seriously?! Horrible food and super overpriced. Also, they serve the fake processed gyro. You would think that being in a busy airport they'd have the good quality authentic gyro. Disappointment is an understatement! read more

Kapnos Taverna - Salmon salad - Greek Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Kapnos was near empty the morning I dined here, and other options in the terminal were much busier, so I was a little wary. The appearance is nice enough if you are looking to sit down, though honestly, there is no real escaping the airport. We sat along the outside, and entertained ourselves people waiting. Two women were working, and, while not exactly rude, both treated customers quite brusquely. We waited a bit to be greeted, then were hurriedly waved to a table. The breakfast menu felt limited, but we were both able to find something acceptable, and our orders were served within ten minutes. My Greek yogurt was decent, with ripe strawberries, cantaloupe, and honeydew. The topping of granola was generous, and I am glad they utilized plain yogurt, as the drizzle of honey would have been much too sweet, otherwise. Even so, I would opt to have it on the side if ordering again. My husband's breakfast sandwich was fine, though he adores sandwiches, and didn't act particularly excited about it. The crispy potatoes were divine, though, with a seasoning reminiscent of fried chicken! We noticed a diner enjoying the olives and marcona almonds, and they looked quite tasty. It was all overpriced ($15 for a breakfast sandwich? Come on), but it's the airport, so what do you expect? We were grateful for a fairly fresh and healthy option. read more

Accused of skipping out on the bill. Restaurant uses a smart-phone based ordering and payment system that the wait staff encourages you to use. The system errors-out regularity and requires regular restarts. I did manage to power through ordering and payment. However, when I got up to leave, I was called out in front of the rest of the restaurant for skipping out in my bill. I told the bartender I paid through the app. They told me to wait where I was while they looked it up. After finding my payment record, they told me, much more discretely this time "you're good to go". If you don't trust your customers, don't make them use a contactless payment system. Also, the food was below airport average and the beer selection was poor. read more

Airport restaurants always seem to suck ass. Kapnos Taverna is no exception. Prime example of bland overpriced airport food. It has something of a good looking menu with Greek classics. The food is bad and everything is a ripoff. Greek food is typically cheap. It doesn't cost much to purée some chickpeas and serve it with pita. There's fancier items but you usually can find stuff for a good price. Not here. On the menu there's only a few choices and all of these are overpriced. Hummus is one of the cheapest. This is about $10 for a plate. It comes with a few pieces of pita bread. The hummus is plain and watery. It's not that much on the plate for that cost. They also give you plastic cutlery, so it's like you're eating in a cafeteria but you're paying to eat in a high end restaurant. Hummus is the only thing I've had. It's even more expensive for other items. There's not much that's good at this airport but there's still better than this. read more

The food was great but super expensive! I know it's in an airport...but still.... $50 for a gyro, hummus, and a beer. The food was great!!!! My server was also very nice. So if you want really tasty food and don't mind oaring high prices - then this is your place. Terminal C has very limited options so this may be your best bet. read more

Kapnos Taverna - Gyro with chicken - Greek Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

My wife and I had breakfast here at the DCA location prior to boarding our flight to Miami. We had what I consider the usual breakfast; eggs, bacon, home fries and toast. All of it came out exactly as ordered- a lot of places will burn the eggs to make sure they're scrambled well; the bacon came crispy which is exactly how I like it, no half burned or half cooked sections. The home fries were also crispy and the toast wasn't burnt. It may seem like I have low expectations but the truth of the matter is that a lot of places can mess up a good breakfast. These folks did it right. It wasn't ZOMG SO GOOD!!!!! - but it wasn't bad either. read more

review of January 18, 2020. Arrived at butt crack am to catch a flight for a long day trip across county. Due to impending storm of the your choice, century, decade....... After driving dropping of car, shuttle and TSA, finally in terminal. Needed a Bloody Mary. Sat down at the bar five minutes before legal time to serve. Sara was put host and started us with coffee, as the seconds ticked she prepped the glasses for our cocktails. At exactly 0601 our nicely presented cocktails where placed in front of us. The trip was a whole another story. Surrounding environment was pleasant and clean. Sara and her co-workers were warm and friendly. read more

I ordered a Sauvignon blanc, they said there were two options, I asked if one was from NZ, and they said yes. Failed to mention a glass cost as much as you'd normally pay for a bottle--$10 more than either of the options on menu, which I thought they were offering. $26 for a glass of wine after tip seems unreasonable. read more

Kapnos Taverna - Have you ever had the breakfast gyro? - Greek Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I know it's in an airport. I know it's going to be expensive. But I didn't count on was how awful it was going to be. I ordered Gyro with fries. The Gyro meat was like beef jerky. It was cubed, not slices of meat. I could only manage to eat a few bites of food. when the best thing on the plate are the fries, that's a real problem. The food was awful. Don't go there! I told the manager how bad it was and he said, "oh come on! people eat this all the time." I find that very hard to believe. The meat was in edible. It was like eating a rubber ball. Terrible terrible terrible! read more
