Restaurant is closed, and they did not inform Open Table. We arrived with seven people for a reservation. The doors were locked and there was no explanation.

I had a reservation for January 30, 2018. Kapnos restaurant went out of business 4 days before and no one bothered to send us a heads up. Neither Kapnos nor Open Table which still thinks that Kapnos in Bethesda is still open and asked me to confirm the day before and now asks for a review of Kapnos!!!!! Fantastic job you Opentable guys !!!! Please keep it up!!!! It adds a lot to your credibility!!!!!

We arrived to discover the restaurant closed permanently. Despite no notice on their website, which I checked late afternoon, and Open Table repeatedly reminding us or our reservation. Dispute with the landlord and had been closed 5 days previously.

Another great lunch! The salmon taco is delicious (I ordered a side of feta to go with it and it was amazing.) I was there two weeks ago, a couple of days ago, and I can't wait to go back again.

I previously went to the Kapnos on 14th St for brunch - which was great. Unfortunately, I will not return to the one in Bethesda. The service was terrible. It took several requests for our drinks to arrive; they came after almost all of our food. At the same time, the waiter continued to try to take our plates away when we were not done (and the restaurant wasn't busy to try to turn over the table). The waiter also did not properly explain the drink specials, and we received a bill much larger than intended given the poor explanation. Finally, I got super sick from the food for several hours after brunch. Big disappointment for an expensive meal.

Second time there, like night and day. First time three weeks ago was great...after this won’t return. Waitress confused, mixed up our orders. We had tapas and entrees...my entree came only after a reminder to manager and 20 minutes after my date’s. Brought out wrong food. They offered a dessert to make up for it and got that wrong.
