    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Best lounge at Dulles/ IAD by far. The lounge is part of the priority pass and the chase sapphire reserve lounges. The staff here are so attentive, welcoming, and friendly. The food and drinks options at top tier for a lounge. Fresh food, made to order, and an extensive drinks list. They have a menu and ordering via app and a walk up buffet. The seating the plentiful with 2 levels. Comfy seats and plenty of tables/work space for a laptop. Nice views of the the airport. Would definitely be back the next time a have a flight out of Dulles/IAD

    this was great nothing bad at all to say it was a great experience. The staff was friendly. The food was great. The seats were comfortable. It was not too crowded and then another shout out to the great staff. My stupid airline was delayed three hours. At least I slept I ate. I slept again and I ate some more and nobody kicked me out.

    Having visited countless lounges worldwide -- including Capital One Lounge, Lufthansa, and Turkish Airlines here in the Washington area -- I can confidently say the Etihad Airways Lounge at IAD (Terminal A) is one of those rare spaces that truly sets the standard for premium travel. Brand note: Operated by Etihad Airways, this lounge also welcomes Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers through Priority Pass -- a beautiful Etihad × Sapphire collaboration that elevates both brands. From the outside, it's almost invisible. Step inside and you're greeted with a warm, professional welcome -- the kind that makes you feel genuinely valued. The Space: * Right side: Chic bar and comfortable seating along the windows, perfect for plane-spotting. * Left side: Well-presented buffet with hot dishes, desserts, coffee, soft drinks, and unique finds. One standout: Tropical Mango Malaysia Hydration Drink -- refreshing, non-carbonated, electrolyte-rich. Food & Drinks - The buffet was consistently delicious, but the bar stole the show. Premium bottles like Elijah Craig sat alongside a superb Virginia bourbon I'd never tried before. And the Sapphire Signature Cocktail -- gin or vodka -- was elegant, distinct, and memorable. Upstairs - Panoramic airfield views, light desserts, a proper espresso setup, and even a thoughtfully designed kids' room -- a rare touch in high-end lounges. Service - This is where the lounge truly shines. Staff were impeccably dressed, attentive, and kind. While I was enjoying my meal, one stopped by just to check in -- a detail that lifted the experience from great to remarkable. Final Thoughts - This lounge doesn't just meet expectations -- it exceeds them. It outshines some of the biggest names and sets the bar for what premium airport lounges should aspire to be. Experiences like this are why I'm starting The Global Airport Lounge Collection -- a series of reviews from around the world.

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.

This is definitely a lounge where you should expect only the basics and not much more. When I arrived, the food selection was very limited and unfortunately they had already run out of several items and did not restock during my visit. The only things available were slices of bread, oatmeal, grapes, bananas, apples, and pineapple, which felt pretty underwhelming for a lounge. The espresso machines were also out of milk and needed service, so specialty coffee wasn't really an option either. The dining area itself was small and felt cramped, especially during busy times. On the plus side, there was plenty of seating throughout the lounge, but the overall layout felt awkward and outdated. The furniture looks old and the whole space could really use a refresh. The bathrooms were another weak point -- they looked worn down, had only a few stalls, and definitely seemed like they were due for repairs or renovation. One positive note: the cleaning staff did a great job. Tables were cleared quickly and used plates were removed regularly, which helped keep the space from feeling messy even when it was crowded. Overall, this lounge works if you just need a place to sit, charge your phone, and grab a quick snack, but don't expect a premium lounge experience. It really feels like this location is overdue for an update.

There is a shower here, but I didn't bother to step inside. The bathrooms were clean, but again very small. Food is sadly lacking. The main courses are pasta with some very sad looking meatballs and pasta that looks like something a college student could make. The hamburger patties look dismal and old. The highlight is the kale feta salad, which is the only thing worth eating here along with the bread and cheeses. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I didn't find any of the main meats/courses appealing. The desserts are also a sad medley of cookies (Madeline and chocolate chip) that are no better than those out of a box and are not worth the calories. Drinks are just okay. Typical champagne and basic wine etc. with a Bloody Mary thrown in the mix. Will not be coming back, if I can avoid it. Would not recommend this lounge as compared to the others available.
