I, my wife and mother in-law came here for dinner after leaving the city for my nephew's graduation the next day. We were actually running a bit behind, so my wife called and informed the front desk, and they made accommodations for us. We ordered the Over The Border Egg Rolls as a starter. They were nice and crispy, full of flavor and tasty. They were however, right on the cusp of being salty. We all felt that way, which kind of sucked, but mind you, we all don't really eat a lot of salt, so how palates are a bit different from others. They were still good though. For dinner, I had the Tim's Favorite Chicken Giardiniera and my wife had Gnocchi Butternut Squash and my mother in-law had the Pistachio Crusted Grouper. My wish was pretty freakin good. I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. The chicken was pretty thin and crisp but not dry at all! The giardiniera add the right amount of heat, spice and brightness to the dish. The cheese played well in the background and the mash potatoes were nice and smooth. I wish they had a bit more wasabi flavor though. My wife and mother-in's food was also pretty good. I think we all took home left-overs! A- -Gone....... read more

Cooper's Hawk is a great chain that offers a consistent experience at their locations. They're open for both lunch and dinner and offer a variety of food options. They also have a wine tasting counter that often fills up in the evening time with guests wanting to taste their expansive collection of wines. They have multiple dining rooms to accommodate any party size and even have private spaces to host events in. I visited for lunch where options were endless. They offer their main menu as well as some lunch specific options that are smaller in portion for a better price. My group started with the Crispy Brussel Sprouts which were absolutely delicious. The brussel sprouts were crispy and paired with a fresh mint sauce and light space sauce; neither were overwhelming. For entrees, most got the Gnocchi with Roasted Butternut Squash while I got the Gnocchi Alla Vodka. I loved mine for being a classic dish with creamy sauce, crumbled sausage, and pillowy gnocchi. The other dish was perfect for a spring day as it was lighter in flavor, vegetable forward, and less heavy. I was a little bummed that our table never got the complimentary pretzel bun that seemed like every other table got. Our server was very sweet and kept on top of refilling our waters. She made some food suggestions but most items were off the regular menu and not the lunch menu. Pricing overall was a bit expensive even for lunch but portions were large. Overall, this was a great spot to enjoy the company of my coworkers and enjoy some good bites. read more

Dinner tonight began strong with a delicious and generous portion of their Thai Lettuce Wraps! Paired with the house Vinho Verde it rocked. If only we'd stopped there. We sat at the bar and took our time deciding on entrees. I ordered the grilled tenderloin medallions, my wife the wine braised short-ribs. And we waited... When we were served everything was room temperature. Not even warm. My gratin potatoes missing. Our server noticed. The gratin when it showed was warm, but the cheese already coagulated. My Cab-Zin was corked, a little, but I'm a wine snob with 20 years working in the wine industry. I tried to get someone's attention after deliberating. I then pushed the glass away and drank my wife's wine. No one asked. Disappointed. read more

I hosted a work dinner here and we arrived a little early. I've been to a Cooper's Hawk before, but not to this particular location. I came early and found out they have a nice happy hour at the bar from 3-5:30 on weekdays. Matt and Kathy were servicing the bar, and were really friendly and working hard to ensure everyone was getting what they needed. I got to taste a wine to think about whether I wanted to go with that, but ended up choosing a cocktail. It was packed, for a Tuesday I'd never have thought that. After a couple rounds we headed to our table. Autumn was our server and she was really on top of her game. Never needed anything because everyone had what they needed at all times. We had appetizers, the shrimp was amazing, dumplings, and the burrata too were winners. My dinner was the gnocchi carbonara, which was really tasty. Chicken, peas, fluffy gnocchi pan seared to finish. Just so good! Our table got banofee pie but I didn't partake. Looking around the room, so many tables enjoying the wine and their dinner. Thought it was a really good time and I can see why it's a safe bet for a customer dinner. Thank you to the team who made our night special! I'll be back! read more

Stopped by Coolers Hawl Winery with two coworkers for wine and apps, and it was a great choice. I'm a wine club member and the service was awesome, super friendly and attentive. We ordered a bunch of things to share: Brussels sprouts, a chopped wedge salad, egg rolls, meatballs, and a flatbread. The Brussels sprouts and wedge salad were the standouts for me, really flavorful and well done. Everything else was solid too and perfect for sharing with wine. This was my first time at this location. It's easy to get to right off I-88 and close to other shops and food spots, which makes it a convenient go-to. I'll definitely be back. read more

Cooper's Hawk has a focus. It's to attract customers with their slightly upscale wine bar atmosphere for one primary purpose. To enroll them in their wine clubs. Wine is what Cooper's Hawk is designed to sell. Not food. Now with that said, their food is actually pretty good. Not great, but good. We dined at their Naperville, Illinois location on a Saturday night. The place was busy with dozen's waiting for a table. We had a 5:15 reservation and I'd recommend anyone heading to this location get one. We started with our server, Francis, quickly. He was right at our table within two minutes of our arriving. Immediately he started "hawking" (pun intended) the wine list. I told him that we'd previously tried their Almond Sparkling and that we loved it enough that we intended to buy six bottles before we left. I asked him if there were any discounts from the $28.99 menu cost. He said he'd check on that. Upon returning he said the way to get a discount was to enroll in a wine club. Nice try. But we declined. Francis was nice enough to let us taste three wines, a red blend, a Pinot noir, and a Cabernet. We went with the Cab which was actually quite good, for $34.99. Francis wanted us to have it served in one of their suspended carafes. I told him no. This is another method Cooper's Hawk uses to showcase their wine chops. But for serious wine drinkers, this is an overdone gimmick that's not appreciated. These behemoths are huge and ugly and don't belong on the table. They're also badly designed as a serious wine carafe. For dinner we split a Chopped Wedge Salad (good choice as it was huge and tasty), and ordered the Soy Ginger Salmon and Dana's Parmesan Chicken. My wife really enjoyed her Salmon, served with a mashed potato and an Asian slaw, heavy on the sesame oil taste. The Parmesan Chicken was excellent, thin, crispy, and yet still moist. Nicely done. However the accompanying potato dish - Mary's Potatoes - was lacking is seasoning and taste. It was kind of a cheesy hash brown casserole. Overall, our bill hit around $135 with tip. Will we be back? Not likely. Again the food was good. The wine was good. But for my tastes and dining style, Cooper's Hawk was just too commercial in its approach and I can find better. So overall rating is three stars. read more

Dannnnggggg, if there's 1 piece of advice I have.. MAKE A RESERVATION!!! I was here on a weekday evening and the place was sardines jam packed. Thankfully my group of 5 had a reso and we avoided waiting for a table. This location is the same as any other Cooper's spot. Dark and moody, a cozy spot to have a drink(s) and some good food. Parking can be tricky, however, there are plenty of spots. It may just take awhile to find 1. Tea was our server and she is 1 of the reasons why I'm giving this review 5 stars. I loved her energy - she was friendly and the perfect amount of attentive. Despite how busy it was she kept up with the massive amounts of guests. Our group did not have any long waits and our water glasses were constantly refilled. For my drink I sampled the March wine of the month which was a Washington red. It was smooth, dry and bold. I enjoyed it so much that I went with a glass. For food I decided to go against my usual 'go to' pick and had the roasted chicken risotto. It was pretty good, not 1 of my favorites (Dana's parmesan chicken or Elli's chicken piccata), but still full of flavor and cooked perfectly. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and Tea brought out 2 plates of truffles (comped) for the celebrants. We lost track of time and didn't realize we were there for almost 3 hours. Time flies when the service, atmosphere, company and food/drinks are 5 stars! read more

Sorry, but grossly overpriced for the quality and quantity you get. Better places around without the mark up and fluff.

We had happy hour bruschetta and sliders as well as a wine flight before we went to our dinner reservation. The food was so good we almost cancelled our reservation. The burrata and prosciutto they used were fire. The wine flight has very generous pours. It's a little price ($20) but quantity justifies the price. A great environment for a fun date night especially if you are into wine! read more

Great service and food as always! I had never tried their brunch food and got the smoked brisket hash. It was very flavorful and the brisket was tender. I loved the potatoes and peppers too. Other dishes at our table were Dana's Parmesan-Crusted Chicken and the roasted vegetable flatbread. We all really enjoyed our meals! read more

Like so many other restaurants the quality is changing the lettuce wraps is something I always order and there is no CH in my area so I have to drive to Naperville! And when you receive the peanut sauce and it is super watered down and the girl says to you oh !! We changed the recipe! Oh you changed it to 90 percent water??? Then the portions on the other meals are getting smaller! But the price is getting bigger!!! read more

I ordered the chicken piccata and I really like how the chicken was nice and moist ! Even the next day, it was not dry. They gave you three nice size chicken breast and I like the dish . I do recommend it. The crispy brussels sprouts is the best appetizer.! I like the sauce with it and the dish has good flavor! The menu is good. It's just that it's a little pricey but I guess you're paying for quality?? it's a very popular restaurant unfortunately it might be the only good one around Naperville TBH but hopefully they're bringing in more restaurants in the area! They have good wine selection even if you don't drink wine so I must say you have a lot of good options as far as drinks go! read more

I had always heard that Cooper's hawk is known for more than just their delicious wine, but this trip to cooper's truly proved it for me! We went to Cooper's hawk for a date on a Friday night - the place was bustling in both the wine tasting area and the dining area. Be sure to grab a reservation for Friday - Sunday because it is very crowded and there can be long wait times. Our server actually presented us with a seasonal menu which looked too good to not try so we ended up ordering the chili roasted salmon right from that menu. This salmon was hands down one of the best salmon dishes I've had at a restaurant. It came with this amazing lemon butter sauce, crispy fingerling potatoes, and roasted brocolli. It was a perfect, balanced meal which also tasted a 1000% delicious! Next up, we got their caprese flatbread which had mozzarella, basil, tomatoes, and a balsamic glaze on top. The flatbread was light and refreshing and each bite was the perfect bite with all the ingredients. LOVED IT! Obviously, we had to get dessert and we got their special chocolate cake which was not too sweet, had layers of texture and flavor, and was the perfect size to split amongst 2 people! We obviously had wine during our visit as well but forgot to take pictures. The blanc de blanc is definitely my favorite wine at cooper's and I get it every single time I go! Never thought I would say this, but if I'm looking to eat out and don't know where to go, cooper's will definitely be one of my go-to places! The service, the ambiance, the food, the drinks, everything was a 10/10! Cant wait to go back for more! read more

Came here with some co-workers for an end of year lunch. They usually open at 11. If I plan to be there when they open, I don't call for a reservation. Either they won't take a reservation a day in advance, won't answer the phone before 11, or just tell me to come in and they'll accommodate me. It's not bad, just be prepared for those scenarios. It was busy, and our server was hustling. It must be the end of year business lunch rush. I ordered the salad with steak and a key lime pie dessert. Everything was good. read more

We stopped here for an early dinner on a Tuesday night. We were actually hoping for happy hour but it ends on the earlier end (3:00-5:30pm). As a wine club member, I also had a sparkling toast that unwanted to enjoy during my visit. When we arrived the tasting area was busy but the dining, patio and bar area were pretty open. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server. It took quite awhile to get our order placed and even longer to get a tasting of the wine of the month. We had questions about the chefs specials but she out waitress aid she didn't even know those were still going on. I was shocked by her lack of knowledge about the menu. When it came to the wine I didn't have many questions because I'm in the wine club (from another state) but my friend who came with me had never been to Coopers Hawk so she wanted more thorough explanations of the wine offerings. My friend ordered the flatbread which is always a good choice and I tried the chicken chorizo dish. I was disappointed because the dish lacked flavor and some of the "roasted vegetables" were undercooked, I wasn't able to share this with the server because she didn't come back. After waiting and looking and finally asking someone else she returned with the check. I'm not sure if this location is understaffed or if it just got really busy while we were there, but I was disappointed with my experience. read more

As a regular at the Cooper's Hawk in Naperville, I was devastated when an accident left me with the left side of my body broken, keeping me away from my beloved wine tastings and lunches for four long months. When I finally returned, navigating the restaurant in a wheelchair, I was overwhelmed by the genuine warmth and compassion I received. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like family. The hostess greeted me with concern, asking where I had been and how I'd managed to get myself into such a predicament. My server, too, expressed how much she had missed me, and even the manager took the time to sit at my table for a chat, sharing how worried the team had been. The same heartfelt welcome awaited me in the tasting room. Beyond the incredible hospitality, the food is simply wonderful. As someone who is gluten-free, Cooper's Hawk is my favorite go-to restaurant. They consistently provide delicious options that I can always count on. What truly touched my heart was the end of the meal. My server presented me with a get-well card, signed by Kat, Meg, Autumn, and Beth, along with a gift. Their kindness made me feel incredibly special, and I knew their concern was sincere. I am so grateful for their hospitality and commitment to making customers feel so valued. The Naperville location is the flagship for a reason, and I hope I never have to be away for that long again. I'm a forever customer. read more

We were celebrating the new year on Wednesday and had Lynette for our server. We have had her before and she recognized us, too. The food was excellent, as usual. However, it took forever to get our food and Lynette wasn't as attentive as in the past. She asked if we wanted boxes and that took forever also. Then, she brought the bill and just assumed it was all on one but it wasn't so that took more time. We had great food and a wonderful time but it just wasn't up to Cooper's Hawk standards this time. read more

Absolutely delicious food this time! I especially love the Asian inspired dishes - the Asian slaw is so good. Service at this location was great too. read more

Continues to be consistent and enjoyable every time I visit. This is my go to spot when visiting family in Naperville. The ambiance is the perfect balance between upscale and relaxed--ideal for a celebration or casual dinner. The host, Kat, who I recognized as the manager was super friendly when we arrived and came by to check on us when our meals arrived which was appreciated. The highlight, of course, is the food & wine! We started with salad, flatbreads, drunken shrimp and egg rolls. Then I had the risotto with truffle oil paired with a delicious lux chardonnay. All so good! The service at this location deserves special mention. Our server Val was awesome. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, happy to make recommendations or accommodate special requests (like balsamic glaze on the side for my mom & my overly modified salad order). It's clear they genuinely care about providing a quality experience. Whether you're a wine lover or just looking for a consistently excellent meal in Naperville, this location does not disappoint. Highly recommend! read more

Tia was awesome!!! Best bday dinner ever! Thanks for everything, Tia. It was a great night!

I am a recent gluten sensitive person and I was told that Cooper's Hawk has a gluten free menu so I tried it yesterday. Let me tell you it is a whole separate stand alone menu, not just little icons next to the salads like some restaurants! There were lots of choices so I thought I'd try the lettuce wraps. They were the absolute best thing I've eaten in a very long time! And we were given warm gluten free bread loaf while we waited. If you know GF bread it's really bad. This bread was amazing! And the flourless chocolate torte was a perfect ending to a perfect meal. Thank you for making my day! read more

Went into the location to start off with a wine tasting. Offered a few options, but we picked the sweet one. We stood at the tasting site, and our server was extremely friendly. Music was playing, and while our server had multiple people she was attending, she made sure we never had a long wait for the extremely sample. Afterward, I went to the dining area to get an app of drunkin shrimp, which was delicious along with a Soy Salmon entree along with the Pretzel Bread offered. Every meal came out hot and fast. We did arrive at 6:30pm on a Tuesday and the parking lot was packed. read more

My husband and I decided to give this place another chance last week and were happy we did. We decided to have lunch during the week here so it was still quite busy. And despite the busyness, we had a server that had the best customer service. She suggested pairings and answered our questions patiently. As usual this place was clean and had a nice relaxing vibe. Our lunch was delicious - my husband decided to get a cheeseburger while I opted for the chicken Madeira. We also did a couple of glasses of wine that paired really nicely. Overall, this was a great experience and we were glad to have given this location a second chance after our first awkward experience. read more
