    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?

    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.

    Seared tuna salad
    Sally L.

    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

    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.

    Lamb Gyro with Greek Salad

    I appreciate decent airport food when traveling. Kapnos Taverna has some nice Greek gyros, and I always appreciate a good Gyro. Service was friendly and prompt, I just couldn't understand a word they were saying!!!

    Service was nice and attentive. Gyro was tasty but fries were kinda cold and flat. Skip the Baklava as it was meh. Airport ambiance Food: 3 Service: 3.5 Overall 3.25

    Egg white spinach wrap
    Ann L.

    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.

    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.

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

    If I could rate this lower, I would. And I absolutely hate to give a one star, but this was highway…read morerobbery. Let's start with service: Although the server promptly handed me a menu, she disappeared for the next 22 mins. She walked past my table 4 times, but never came to check on me. When I initially sat down, the table next to me ordered salads & beers. They were nearly done with their food before I was able to place an order. Presentation: The menu is very straightforward, but there are definitely some liberties taken with the descriptions of the food. I opted to order the pork belly tacos, and because I love them, I also ordered a side of hush puppies. I don't eat a lot, so I figured I'd have leftovers to take up to my room. Food: Imagine my surprise when I was presented with the sorriest 4 pork belly tacos I've ever seen. Each was maybe a bite and a half. My Apple Watch was almost bigger. They came with a green chile sauce & pico de gallo. Both bowls of sauce were twice the size of the tacos. Speaking of, the tacos were overstuffed with cabbage & onions, & maybe a hint of pork. I was very glad I ordered the hush puppies. Until I had a look at them. I received 4 of the most overcooked, flavorless hush puppies I've ever eaten. And inside they had crab, I did not receive the sauce. I did not finish them. Along with a Heineken, I spent $50. I want my money back.

    Had a long day with too much business travel and grumble grumble. Sat down at a comfy table and…read moreAster took amazing care of me. Glass of wine, tasty snacks, space for my computer. Super comfortable place to unwind a bit before ending a long day.
