    Arrived and got in line before they opened, but it was worth the wait! Plenty of comfy seats or private tables, food was good (drinks were even better!), and service was speedy. I wish they had more showers available, but the restrooms were clean and the amenities were great! Would definitely recommend this lounge to weary travelers!!

    Tbh its a pretty nice lounge. The food options are a bit limited as compared to international lounges but the ambiance is better. They have a family room which was quite advantageous to our family of five. The kiddos could play by themselves in the family room and we could enjoy some downtime without worrying about taking care of the kids. There were toys and soft blocks to keep kids occupied and a menu for us to peruse and order coffee and food off from. We helped ourselves to the menu burger which my hubs liked and i really liked the cappuccino. The lounge buffet was ok but the food was not as appetizing as compared to the menu food. I really liked the mini lemon bites and brownies though. There is a bar, booths, tables so plenty of seating downstairs and stairways leading upstairs which i did not see.

    This lounge was pretty busy and I had to sit in a chair with other single travelers. The burger was meh. The drinks were delicious though. I did take 2 chocolate chip cookies. It's kind of my new routine. I liked all the different books and the bathrooms were clean. The food and drinks did take a while and I couldn't wait any longer for the last drink and had to leave to go board my flight.

    After experiencing the chase sapphire lounge in Boston, I have been itching to visit another one. Unfortunately, this was did not compare. It is inferior in every way. It is smaller, has less food options, only one shower, only 4 bathroom stalls, and a long wait if you happen upon it during a busy time. Their signature burger was not good here - dry, overcooked, no flavor. When I had it in Boston, it was pretty good, so super disappointing. The service was the same, attentive and professional. Having said all this, it is still much better than most airport lounges in the United States. The salmon and rice they served on the buffet line was good, so I filled up in that. The location is fairly convenient - in A. You can walk from B. It's next to where you'd enter from the airport tram (if coming from C) and when you get off the escalator from the airport shuttle (if coming from D).

    Sapphire reserve card holders have taken this place over! Seriously, this is now a combined Etihad and the Sapphire Reserve lounge. The service is great and the food is typical of the Sapphire Reserve system. It's a little smaller than some of the other Sapphire lounges I've visited, but it still fills the bill and meets the need. I'm hoping that Chase builds a dedicated Sapphire reserve lounge in perhaps a larger space in the future. Then, Etihad Airlines can have this space all to themselves once again.

    I was really looking forward to checking out this lounge, my first chance to actually use my Reserve card somewhere that might stack up to a Centurion (since IAD doesn't have one). It's a good-sized space with plenty of seating, and since I arrived late at night, it wasn't crowded. I won't go into detail about the other amenities you can read about, I needed dinner and a drink, which was the focus of my visit. The buffet was solid, the chicken biryani and baba ghanoush were both pretty good. The made-to-order menu was more hit or miss. I tried the burger (which probably needed cheese) and the noodles, which had good flavor but too many noodles and not enough sauce or vegetables. I'd love to see more options. The real highlight was the bar. My bartender was outstanding and mixed up three great cocktails for me. My rye old fashioned had a choice of four woods for smoking (should you choose to do so) and I went with applewood. The paper plane was also made really well. For a late-night and very free visit, it was exactly what I needed: good food, excellent drinks, and a great bar seat to kill about two hours before my flight.

    Food selection. They list allergens!

    Trendy and upscale interior, spacious (but also does not have that much availability so they can have a wait-list) and love the food and drink options especially for someone such as myself with many allergies! They list so many allergens that are not often seen A big bonus (ironically) is that they will always let Priority Pass / chase Sapphire reserve holders in, whereas the hours are limited at other international lounges

    Wonderful lounge with delicious food options. We came at lunch/dinner time and were really pleased with the offerings put out but also the made-to-order menu too. Cocktails were elegant and delicious. Seating was plentiful though the lounge was packed. At 3pm on a Thursday, we barely found a seat! Great options for drinks, coffee, etc. staff was super kind and professional

    This is the best lounge when it comes to Dulles. There are even ads about the burger from a celebrity chef, so I'm sure I don't have to belabor the fact that the food is quite delicious. The most amazing thing is that it has made-to-order food. That's quite impressive given that it has an abundance of vegetarian to meat options and usually is able to tailor to different cuisines. I also appreciate the attention to detail when it comes to the cocktails. The bartender can put together something that is off the menu with his/her creativity. The only downside? I wish there were more outlets and workspace in the upstairs area. And the tables are quite small for all the small dishes that they offer. But all in all, best lounge at IAD.

    This lounge is modern, clean, and beautiful with 2 levels for seating. You can grab some lighter meals/fruit/treats at the buffet counter, or enjoy made-to-order options using the QR code at each table. Food was decent and signature drinks were creative with great flavors. Staff was friendly, attentive, and prompt. It was, overall, a relaxing and enjoyable experience for my family.

    We took the 6 AM shuttle to Dulles, and this was one of the only lounges open. The scan in process was smooth, and the lounge itself is two levels, with modern lighting and smooth curves. The food options are ordered either through the QR code on the table, or available on the buffet table. Drinks are either at the bar, or through the QR code. A selection of cocktails, beers, and wines is available. The service was quick, with our orders brought out in an impressive time, and the plates were cleared shortly after we finished eating. A welcome addition to Dulles, especially when other lounges start turning priority club members away.

    Relaxing experience at this lounge! It's clean and trendy with similar aesthetics to other Chase lounges I've visited. There is both a buffet section and menu with made to order food and cocktails. Service was very prompt and friendly. Empty dishes were immediately cleared. I waited only up to 5 minutes for my made to order tomato-based pasta dish. When I visited, the buffet had salad, chicken biryani, basmati rice with vegetables, bread with baba ganoush, and small lemon and brownie cubes. There's also cold brew, 'seasonal' water, and 'spa' water on tap. There's a small fridge with pop cans and tea bags with honey sticks. Had a good time, would defs be back next time I'm here!

    They were able to seat us really quickly, and we ended up staying for a few hours. This was a great environment to finish up the work day, and also to relax after the workday. The food and drinks always came so quickly. The La Puerta drink was a top 5 lifetime cocktail for me.

    I haven't visited this Polaris Lounge in a long time and I was connecting via SFO to Dulles and on…read moreto Lisboa, Portugal and had an hour to kill and dinner to eat. Checked out the sit down restaurant which was empty when I sat down and filled up quickly as the hour got later. Had a crab salad with large lump crab minimally adorned and a burger with the works. Except for an overcooked egg on top (I do love a runny egg) it was a solid meal and the espresso martinis hit the spot ! Strong work !! Highly recommended.

    I was at the Dulles Airport on May 9th via United Airlines. The lounge nearest me is a "United…read moreClub" in the D gates. Upon seeing my boarding pass, the staff informed me that we qualify to visit the Polaris Lounge instead, a 5 to 8 minutes' walk away, near Gate C17. I asked which will be less crowded. She said they are both crowded, but the Polaris is much nicer. We decided to hoof it over to the Polaris since it's supposed to be a big deal, ignoring the fact that we probably have 45 minutes only to stay there. She wasn't kidding. The place was packed. It was very difficult to get a pair of seats, and we basically were stalkers waiting for folks to leave. Meanwhile, we were sweating from the walk and from the many people inside the lounge. After finally having seats, we looked at the food and drinks selection. I have to admit the food selection is impressive. They have a dining section that is full table service. Then there is a buffet section with good selection of proteins and produce in addition to the usual snacks. I was too hot to be hungry by then and chose only several cocktail prawns plus a few asparagus stalks. After a cold soda with ice from the bar, it was time to leave. There was also a line to wait for the bathroom. Next time, we won't fancy a Polaris Lounge when we don't have the time to stay.

It's big the club, but one location for food options which is quite tiny. I never knew you could get a bagel made for a child. I'm very confident this was sitting somewhere for a bit of time because without toasting it, you would bust some teeth. It was hard. That scream not even in this realm fresh. I'm wagering that other bread items, oh for those seeking danish or muffins, not a chance that's available. On the coffee side why does United ignore a growing segment of the population that either has a dairy allergy, lactose intolerant or vegan? Ever heard of almond, oat or soy milk? What about those little french vanilla cup things? Clearly who ever oversees this club must be the same dolt who oversees the one in Phoenix because they follow the similar path of cream, 50-50 or whole milk. You do get a sippy like plastic cup for the kiddos, oh I mean for adults to drink your soda out of the machine. Finally with all the germ rise and an increase in norovirus and ongoing yuckiness, how about sanitizer like so many biz lounges have everywhere even on the wall? Don't fret though. Because if you love oranges you are in luck. They also use them for decoration.
