    Crème brûlée
    Ashley E.

    Second time visiting Coopers Hawk and both experiences I had amazing drinks, apps, and entrees! The service was slower today, I'll chalk it up to being a Friday, but we made a reservation and it still took awhile to be seated. Throughout the meal we were having to ask for things twice and had to cancel two side soups that did not arrive. However, the staff are all helpful and nice! I dream of these brussel sprouts, I highly recommend them! The house made meatballs are also quite good. Of the entrees I tried, the pretzel crusted pork chops were my favorite. They were incredibly tender!!!??? It exceeded expectations! The other standouts were the banoffee pie and blueberry açaí sangria! I look forward to coming back again.

    It was a beautiful restaurant. Walk into a wine tasting room. The dining room was nice and we were greeted quickly. Service was great at start but our sever got over sat or kitchen was slow because he would disappear for long periods. The food was good but it took forever to come out. Even longer for the dessert like 30 minutes. I'll go again because food was good and it was near their opening weekend so giving benefit of doubt they'll iron out the service (both kitchen and wait).

    I really wanted to love the newer Cooper's Hawk location in Woodbridge because I've been to the Reston and Ashburn locations and have always had great experiences. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing. Our group was seated around 1 PM. Because brunch was about to end, three friends who wanted brunch ordered first, while the rest of us ordered from the regular menu. Ironically, some of those brunch orders ended up being the LAST dishes to arrive. The biggest problem was the kitchen and timing. It took around an hour and a half for much of our food to come out, and throughout the meal we had multiple missing, incorrect, or improperly prepared dishes. Two friends ordered French toast with eggs. The eggs came out separately without the French toast, which caused confusion since another person had ordered steak and eggs. One French toast eventually arrived, but the second order was still missing. We had to ask multiple times before it finally came out, even though they had been among the first people to order. Another friend ordered steak, eggs, and a specific type of potato she knew she liked from previous visits. Apparently they were out of those potatoes, but instead of telling her, they substituted something else. She ended up having to send the dish back and ordered the gnocchi instead. A few of us shared several dishes, including the Brussels sprouts, trio of medallions, and fish. The fish was excellent and probably the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, we ordered the medallions medium rare and they arrived well done. We sent them back, and the second order still wasn't medium rare, although it was better than the first. I believe our server's name was Darren, and I want to make it clear that I don't think he was the problem. He seemed to be responsible for a huge number of tables and was doing the best he could. It felt more like a staffing and/or kitchen issue. We arrived around 1 PM and didn't leave until almost 5:30 PM. That is an incredibly long time for lunch/brunch, especially when so much of that time was spent waiting, asking where missing dishes were, or sending incorrect food back. I understand that newer restaurants can have growing pains, and I hope that's all this was. Cooper's Hawk has always been consistently good for me at other locations, which is why this experience was so surprising. I'd absolutely return to Reston or Ashburn, but I would hesitate to return to the Woodbridge location until they work out the service and kitchen issues.

    Wine tasting is always a great idea. Called my sisters this evening to see if they were up for some good ol wine tasting at Coopers Hawk. They opened this location closest to their neck of the woods. Their restaurant was much bigger than I expected. They didn't have the patio open just yet, and that was exactly where I wanted to sit...the weather today was perfect for it...we placed our name on the waitlist and headed to snag a spot at the tasting bar...first come first serve... As a member with over 50 bottles on my reserve lol the tasting to me are all the same lol with the exception of the seasonal offering and the actual wine of the month... I do appreciate that I can swap a tasting for a glass of something... Anyhoo-i was thinking about the shrimp scampi I had the night before and decided to run it back... My sister was looking forward to enjoying her fav which is their braised short rib...which another version so happens to be featured as their seasonal dish for the month...but they were out lol. She ended up trying the shrimp scampi and I guess we can say we were happy they weren't out of that! My niece ended up asking if she could get her mom's dish to go... My niece ordered the kids meal with the flatbread cheese pizza which came with fries and fruit. For dessert we enjoyed the Peach Raspberry butter cake. Wish this was on the regular menu :))) Anyhoo- we definitely enjoyed our experience. Our waitress Jasmine, was the cherry on top! She was such a doll. Happy Yelping!

    A great location. Coopers Hawk is always a great time. This location is no different. The Brussel sprouts are so great. This is a newer location I could suggest making reservations but definitely try it out.

    Alot to digest for me service is paramount. We decided to have my mom birthday party yesterday here at Coopers Hawk. Alot of rave around this place so we made reservations for 7 at 6:45 pm. The restaurant is beautiful great location we loved the wine tasting bar when you first walk in that was a hit. But once we sat down service was really slow. We waited long times for drinks and food and the waiter appeared like he needed help with the table but that never came. I will say the food was good and it came out fresh but we were there close to 3 hours an extremely long time. But definitely will give the restaurant another chance in the future.

    We've been to several locations of Cooper's Hawk and was really excited when they opened one here. I've been here 9 times since opening. I have done both the counter wine tasting and dinner and bar seating. Overall: Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4.5/5 This is in the Stonebridge shopping center and while the parking lot directly in front of it isn't big, still plenty of parking within the shopping center overall. If you choose to do a wine tasting, depending on when you go, you might need to wait quite awhile before getting a spot. Even if you choose to come before dinner, I recommend coming at least an hour since they can take a long time. It's 8 wines but they can be inconsistent and take a long time to come back to pour while taking care of other customers. While it is enjoyable and the wines are good, it would be nice if they could cut down the amount of time it takes for a wine tasting. If they could free up space sooner and cut down the time so you don't end up being late to dinner reservations, it would be great. Even if you have a reservation, it's rare that we go and check in and be sat immediately. We've been sat faurly quicklt but have also waited up to 10 minutes. Service has improved time over time. The three times I have asked for my wine pairing for my dinner, one came out 10 minutes after my meal, one came out 15 minutes after meal and one thankfully came out just a little bit before. The 2nd time, I had even asked to make sure that it would come before my meal. Our server reached out to a manager who rectified the situation but he said he was going to get a wine menu and never returned. We had to ask our server for it. We did have another recent experience where a manager came by and indicated that our appetizer would come out soon and so we had asked for bread. He also never returned with bread. The last couple of times, the service seemed nice and friendly, only my first time dining in did the server seem like they didn't care. It doesn't seem as if bread is automatically brought out, you do have to ask for it. The food so far has been good. The only thing that I really had an issue with is The Prime sandwich was dry. The fries are hit or miss - great flavor but not always crispy. I recently went for brunch and their Gnocchi Carbonara was interesting. It didn't taste bad but not really a carbonara and the sauce was think and not creamy. I recommend the Brussel Sprouts, any of the flatbreads and the Over the Border Egg Rolls for appetizers. For dinner, the Prime Churrasco Grillrd Steak and the Pretzel Crusted Pork Chop so far are my favorite. It's a nice restaurant and atmosphere and it is nice to have dinner and a wine tasting but everything does take quite awhile so be prepared to spend at minimum 2 hours here.

    Sangria

    It was ok. I have been to two other Cooper's hawk restaurants and they're usually pretty good. This one was ok. I think they're trying to get their footing being new in Woodbridge. I had the smoke brisket hash. I should have asked if it was going to be shredded...I just assumed it would be since it's hash but it wasn't brisket was sliced and kind of tough. But had good flavor. My friends both had the carbonara pasta which they said were amazing. The sangria was very tasty. The service was slow but she was extremely nice a took great care of us. It's a gorgeous location. We sat outside and for it to be almost 90° outside they got it shaded so well it was nice and cool under the porch area.

    Went to Cooper's Hawk since it just opened in Stonebridge. Our reservation was for 8:15, but we got seated by 7:30. The hostess was very kind. Service was slow, and several items were out of stock -- the risotto, the short rib, and even the strawberry syrup for my lemonade refill. The waiter didn't mention any of this upfront; we found out about the risotto and short rib only after ordering, and about the syrup when I asked for a refill. We also had to request bread ourselves. That said, the food was great once it arrived -- the steak and mashed potatoes were the standouts. Just wish they'd communicated the shortages before we ordered.

    We are on a lucky streak! This is definitely a must try restaurant. They are newly opened (May 2026) and they are getting EVERYTHING right! They open at 10 AM for brunch and you have to start with their $5 sangria. Their Applewood smoked pizza has a burst of flavors ... you'll see fireworks like Remy in Ratatouille! We also tried their candid bacon BLT, which was also delicious. The aioli was made from scratch! You'll also get complimentary pretzel bread but don't fill up. Big big big kudos to Juliana, our server. She was super amazing and made great recommendations. Top tips: make reservations! If you do a drop in, check the bar and high top for open seating. Ask to sample the wine in the wine barrel. This is definitely a place to be a regular customer.

    White truffle dessert
    Elizabeth M.

    Just opened this week--good to start with room for growth to become great! Several of my coworkers who live by other Cooper's Hawk locations have raved about them for years, so I was really excited when I saw that one would be coming to Woodbridge. We made reservations online, which I'm really glad we did since the wait was quoted at two hours for another couple who arrived without booking ahead! We were quickly brought to our table, and our server, Brittany, warmly welcomed us. When she learned it was our first time, she offered to start us out with drinks and give us some time to look over the menu. When I ordered a San Pellegrino, she suggested some limes to go with it. Brittany brought out a beautiful wine glass, three sliced lime wedges, and a wine chiller for the bottle! I decided to try a cup of the seafood bisque and the butternut squash gnocchi with a sparkling wine flight. She also asked if we wanted some bread to go with our dinner, so we said we would try that as well. I am going to give the restaurant a ton of grace for the flow of the kitchen for their first week. I know how hard it is to get a new team together, especially when it's already packed with customers from the start. There were many dishes waiting in the window visible from our table, and they would go out to the dining area in spurts. Brittany was quite apologetic with the wait time for the bread, as it arrived a few minutes after our entrees. The seafood bisque was rich and very tasty. I would definitely get it again. The gnocchi was also very flavorful, especially with the sage garnish. The gnocchi were a bit firmer than the pillowy traditional Italian texture I often hunt for, but they were still good. I really enjoyed the wine flight with the meal, and the Sparkling Almond had such a beautiful finish with a surprising and pleasant almond flavor. We finished off the meal with dessert. I tried the white chocolate truffle (delicious), and my husband had the chocolate cake with Tillamook ice cream. It was really lovely and perfect to share. I ended up signing up for a membership by the end of the meal. It was the first time having a table sign up for Brittany, and after checking with the manager, she was able to get my new member number from the app. (If you are signing up for the first time, make sure you give your server the number to credit them and get your reward points for the meal.) After eating, I went to the front area to get my wine for the month. I grabbed one of the last Sparkling Almond bottles on display. It took about 10 minutes to make it through the wine purchases. Again, I'll give them lots of grace for the wait, since they were trying to field phone calls, new memberships, and wine packaging. I'm looking forward to trying the wide menu selection during future visits, and I'm sure they will find their service rhythm as the days go by!

    Chopped BBQ Chicken Salad
    J E.

    We've been to a few different Cooper Hawk restaurants over the years and they were pretty decent, so when they recently opened this one, we came in lunch on a weekday. The host was nice and professional. Our server was really nice and personable. The menu is pretty good, with many appetizing options, including several healthy options. Unfortunately, execution is mediocre. We ordered a Chopped BBQ chicken salad and a bowl of tortilla soup. The salad came out about 10 minutes before the soup, which was odd. The server explained they didn't make the soup correctly at first and had to re-do it. When it came out, it wasn't very hot either, so not sure what the deal was with it, but the taste was decent. The salad had dark, unappetizing leaves of lettuce and avocado. This was hard to understand since this was lunch, getting there at noon... they shouldn't have had the lettuce sitting around long enough to look like that and the avocado should be cut fresh to order. The flavor of the dressing on the salad was really good. The pretzel bread and the butter that came with it were very good. The décor is nice, rather upscale, but the smell inside was nasty... it smelled like a bar on a Sunday morning after a hard Saturday night inside. When back in the area, I'll probably just stick with Not Your Avg Joe's.

    Love their GF menu. Pretty good selection and tastes super good too. Sometimes they have the GF bread if you ask for it but tonight they didn't. I picked the Gnocci Allá Vodka. Omg so delicious. The staff are super sweet too and attentive to your needs. The restaurant in whole is just so clean and lively

The mini salmon cakes were outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The dry-rub wings, on the other hand, were forgettable. Skip those and save room for the entrées.

I wrote a review from Fathers day already. Its my grandsons 12th birthday and guess where he wants to go? I agreed, because they get to choose. I told them waitress that last time was horrible, she understood and took on the challenge. All was well until dinners came in. Only my wife had a salad before her entree. When the entrees came to the table, by another server, my wife had no meal and mine was missing a loaded potato. The kids also had no ranch, which is a federal crime to them. We asked 2 others and our server, never received. When our server came out to see how dinner was going, I told her we are missing 1 entrees and my side of potato. She quickly went to kitchen and came back with the potatoes and then apologized for not keying in my wife's dinner. By the time she received her meal, most of us were done. The manager 1st came to apologize and said that she will comp us a dessert, but still no entrees yet. It took another 20 minutes from our entrees, before she received hers. The manager came back and said the entrees is on her. The food is always good, but for 6 people, over $200, I would like to eat together and have great service. When they brought out a free dessert for the birthday boy, they never asked what he likes, of course it was not what he wanted. He blew out the candle and then I ordered the dessert he did want for his birthday. Yes, you guessed it, I paid for that and the free dessert the manager mentioned, must have been recalled because entrees was free, which was the higher price, but she should have given her the dessert to make up to HER, for delayed food, since I paid for the meal only I benefited. Its saddening that this will be off our list here in Woodbridge. There are many others to choose from, even with 4 or 5 going out of business lately. In closing, the food is good, but service is terrible and since managers were involved, it seems like a culture problem of quality employees.

You get that Island feel and ambiance with the decor, the music, and the food. We've already been to this location a handful of times, so here are a few reasons we keep coming back.

Our waiters have been friendly, accommodating, and attentive during our dining experience. We've utilized their high chairs for our littles, and they've been helpful in setting it up for us.

Everything comes out consistently hot and delicious. I would say that the Grilled Chicken lacks some seasoning, esp for a Caribbean themed restaurant. Other than that, there are lots of tasty flavors and spices that can get your palate going. The restrooms are toward the back and they've been in decent condition. Most of the time, the toilets and sinks are functioning and their soaps and paper products are usually stocked. There's a changing table in the women's restroom. Overall, our experience here has been satisfactory. The food and service is great and the price is even greater when you take advantage of their happy hour, which we highly recommend!

    Had a great time dining at Bahama Breeze. The ribs were delicious, the Filet Mignon was cooked just…read moreright, and the Coconut Shrimp with the citrus-mustard dip was so tasty. Even the yuca frites (which I'm usually not a fan of) were crispy and delicious with that jerk honey butter. Patricia took great care of us with spot-on food and drink recommendations. The pineapple piña colada she suggested was refreshing and hit the spot. Tasty food and a fun tropical vibe, definitely worth checking out. Tip: Happy hour is the best time to sample their appetizers, select items are half off from 4-6 PM and 9 PM to close.

    I came on a Thursday afternoon and enjoyed this charming little restaurant. The French fries and…read moreBiscoff waffle was our favorite! We also tried the crab cake sandwich and French onion soup (also yummy). The ambiance is wonderful with French music playing and a darling patio. The service could improve a little, but I think that was an issue of being understaffed because I could tell he was trying very hard. This a great spot for a leisurely afternoon!

    Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 5/5…read more I love Belgian beer, and Cock and Bowl is my favorite place to nab some of this great nectar. This place keeps the Belgian brews stocked across the spectrum. From fruity Lambics to Tripels (my personal fave) and Quadrupels, pales to darks. There's a lot to explore here. The food is pretty good too. The frites (fries) are excellent and pair well with the beer. They are thick without veering into steak fry territory, nicely crunchy, and packed with a pleasing amount of salt (and I believe a hint of vinegar). The waffles are also a standout, typically topped with light and airy cream. The merguez lamb sausage is also hearty and delicious. I wish the building itself was larger. There's only a few tables, meaning you may be in for a wait if you go during the colder months. And I recently had the chocolate mousse and didn't care for it. It was much more akin to pudding, and there wasn't a deep enough chocolate flavor to contrast with the whipped cream. There's no better place I've found in Occoquan to eat, drink, and be merry. I highly recommend you stop here when you visit.

    Very nice vineyard. I found their glass of wine to be a bit expensive, but the chardonnay I…read morepurchased was fine. The grounds are rather hilly. It's a beautiful setting, and sits next to a regional park with a nice hiking trail. Parking here is a bit tricky they have more than one lot. Just know walking about the grounds isn't the easiest because of the hills. (Elders may find walking about difficult). There was a small wedding taking place during my visit, which added to the charm of the setting.

The grounds are amazing--surrounded by trees and rolling hills, with a vineyard nearby that really adds to the atmosphere. On a nice day, it definitely gets busy--almost every picnic table was taken when we visited--but there was still plenty of seating inside and on the patio. They had a food truck on site, and you can also order charcuterie platters at the counter. I liked that you can bring your own picnic too (just no outside alcohol). They are also dog-friendly! I was a little surprised to see so many kids, but thankfully parents were keeping a close eye on them, so it didn't take away from the experience. There's a solid selection of wines available by the bottle or as tasting flights, so it's easy to find something you like. Tastings at the bar with a wine educator are a nice touch, though they can be a bit limited if the place is really crowded. The only downside was that they seemed a bit short-staffed during, so tables weren't cleared as quickly as they could be. That said, there are plenty of trash cans and bottle bins around, so it's easy enough to help keep things tidy. Overall, a great place to unwind with friends, enjoy some wine, and soak in the scenery--just be prepared for crowds on nice days!
