Came here for Friday date night! First time coming here, when first walk in, there's a wine tasting section and then a little merch shop as well! It was a great way to keep people busy while they waited. We had a reservation and the waitress seated us after what seemed like 2 mins. Seth was our server, he was friendly and knowledgeable and attentive. Since it was our first time here, and first time actually trying (good) wine, he was able to provide us with samples and give us his opinion on foods. Started off with the pretzel bread, it was amazing! Such a cool concept (they also use the pretzels as croutons in the salad) speaking of salad, the Caesar salad we ordered was wonderful, crispy and cold. We ordered the drunken shrimp which was delicious, crispy, and complimented very well with a combination of the flavors and sauces. I ordered the seafood risotto and usually I'm not a fan of risotto or it's not my go to, it ended up being one of the best things I've had! The flavors were so good combined and the seafood was nicely cooked and seasoned. My bf got a dish (I forgot what it was called) but had noodles, chicken over a lemon sauce and capers) his was fantastic as well! The fingerling potatoes also had a lot of flavor, almost an au gratin style! Of course, we couldn't finish dinner and my drinking a whole bottle of wine without dessert, we got the smores dessert which was amazing. It has 4 different layers of flavor and every bit was fantastic. As first timers, we will be back! Seth was a great waiter and made the experience good. The service and timing of food was great, and the food itself was phenomenal. This place is the definition of wine and dine! It's busy but spacious with a good vibe. read more

Food was delicious. I sincerely appreciate all of the precautions that are taken to ensure gluten-free offerings are truly celiac-safe. The service was deeply disappointing. We waited for 90 minutes after being told 25 "if that" initially, missing the brunch specials, and weren't offered even an apology for the wait. We ordered off of the lunch menu and received and were charged for dinner portions. I unfortunately walked out of there feeling totally scammed. read more

My son and I came here for a late lunch. We were greeted and sat promptly. It took a little long for the server to greet us and bring our drinks, maybe 7mins total. I ordered the shrimp, crab, and lobster bisque as an app. The soup was flavorful but the main meat I had in it was shrimp, I didn't really see lobster or crab. For our meals, my son ordered the house spaghetti meatballs which he enjoyed, I also took a bite, it was pretty good. For my main, I ordered the PRIME CHURRASCO GRILLED STEAK. You can't really get it cooked to order since it's so thin. It had a nice flavor, the sauce was good as well as the veggies. Overall it was a nice experience. Will go back. read more

Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so without further delay let's begin!. We were invited and decided to join our birthday celebration friends here. This restaurant is very nice and the food was great. Our service was great and the food options were plentiful. I will say I had to take off a star because the upstairs dining area was quite warm,the table was small,and the chairs were not very comfortable!. Other than that I would definitely recommend and return here!. read more

Yum. In true Coop's fashion is was a tasty experience. Stopped in for a small bite and to pick up wines, and left stuffed. The food was delicious (shrimp tempura appetizer, the potstickers, smashed sliders, and fries) and the wine (Blanc de Blanc) was the perfect pairing. Reservations are needed as I feel this location is always packed. But the hype is warranted. I've never been disappointed. Cheers! read more

Phenomenal experience stopping in here a couple of weeks back. We had a rough start checking in a the Westin with rude and terrible staff, so brought our luggage here and tried to reset our weekend. Absolutely worked. Cookie gave us a genuine southern hospitality start, was lovely, held out luggage, hit us set up for a wine tasting and held a table out back for us. Completely turned the weekend around. Megan took care of us for our tasting and was super knowledgable about the wine, but also friendly and hilarious. Our meal was great, our servers were friendly and helpful with our choices. If we were locals we'd be back every weekend. Not because of the restaurant, but rather the team we interacted with. Thank you for turning our weekend around and getting us back on track. read more

Cooper's Hawk has always been on my list of places to go. I finally had the time and made it happen. After this one and only visit, I don't think I'll be back. Once we were seated it took a little bit for our waitress to stop by. Once she did we ordered drinks and appetizers. A few minutes later we ordered our meals. All of our food came out together and took a little bit. The bisque soup was hot and pretty good. Not 5 stars good, but good. My chopped wedge salad was great! It was a lot of great flavors that meshed well together. My last course was the trio of medallions. They were good! The flavors were great! It was cooked to my liking. Our waitress noticed that when the medallions came out the cooking temperature placard was still stuck in my steak. She seemed annoyed that the kitchen staff or food runner never took it out. The pretzel bread was very delicious! My friend was not wowed by her food. For dessert I opted for a classic Reese's Peanut butter skillet cookie topped with vanilla ice cream. When it came out it was pretty dark. I thought to myself oh this is a chocolate based cookie due to its darkness. I tried to stick my spoon into the cookie. I couldn't. It was to me hardy that's when I realized it was a well done, over cooked cookie. The skillet was almost luke warm. The cookie was cold. I mentioned it to my waitress. I even asked is this how they prepare this dessert normally? Or were we trying to cut corners? I couldn't tell if she was annoyed at me, the situation or the kitchen. There were times that I was sitting there looking for our waitress. She was MIA at times. Because of that once dessert was ordered we made sure to ask for the bill so we were not waiting for her to come back. I came here for the food and atmosphere mostly. I don't drink. So I cannot report on the wine. After dinner I popped into the restroom. There were paper towels all over. It certainly needed some attention. Parking was a mini nightmare. No spots to be had. I almost went to the valet to park as they had 7 spots open. But, I lucked out and found a spot 25 cars away from the restaurant. The men working the valet greeted us as we arrived and left. They were good. Lastly, where I sat I could see right into the kitchen. At some point you had various staff members standing around, some glancing at their phones etc. so annoying and inappropriate. This is not the experience I expected to have . I expected better. read more

We've been to Cooper's Hawk a few times over the years and we usually enjoy ourselves, but noticed that the last few times we went it was ridiculously loud. This past month we figured out we hadn't visited since 2023 when we had a not so great service experience. They gave us free meal tickets, but unfortunately, they had expired and would not honor them this time. Regardless, we did manage to score a quiet booth against the center wall so the noise level did not impede conversation. Our server was Zach- who was decently attentive and pleasant. He forgot to bring us the pretzel bread appetizer, but it was a happy accident because we ended up using it for the divinity inspired sauce that came with the butternut squash ravioli! But I get ahead of myself. For cocktails I ordered a Red wine flight and my husband got the Pbj old-fashioned; which was a healthy pour with a sidecar of sweet red wine. Definitely interesting and for $14 was certainly a bargain. Not sure we would repeat because we enjoyed the red wine flight a little more. But it was definitely worth a try. For an appetizer, we ordered the Asian Ahi Tuna sashimi and it was truly amazing. Our only complaint was there wasn't enough for two people lol. We both could've had a whole additional serving because it was soooo good. We ordered the two specials for dinner: the surf and turf which had black truffle, crusted filet and lobster tail stuffed with blue crab. We also got the butternut squash ravioli with shrimp and scallop. The filet was really good but the crab in the lobster tail was fishy so the butternut squash ravioli won out! It was delicious. As I mentioned earlier Zach forgot to bring the pretzel bread for our appetizer but it worked out perfectly because we were able to use it for sopping up the butternut squash ravioli sauce. Could not get enough of it. We really enjoyed our food and service this time and will not wait another two years to come back. Parking: They were super busy and the parking is tough because it's shared with other restaurants so unless you do valet be prepared to walk because there are plenty of mall parking spaces across the road. read more

Food was hit or miss depending on what it was. Service was pretty slow. Gnocchi alla vodka: 3/5 Caprese flatbread: 5/5 Sausage flatbread: 2.5/5 Corn risotto: 3.5/5 Reese's cookie: 2/5, had a weird aftertaste read more

Started off rocky since there was a miscommunication with the hostess, but overall I had a good time here. We went for wine o clock and ordered the sangria flight and some light bites. I enjoyed trying the different flavored sangrias. They did taste premade and watered down. No real complaints considering the value of 4 for $17. Nice crowd and a variety of music played in the background too. The real star was the fresh pretzel bread! Came out steamy hot and the butter melted perfectly on it. read more

Yesterday was my 12th and final visit to Cooper's Hawk. I know restaurants don't actually care when you're like, "Oh, you've lost a customer!" Especially a chain like CH, but I'm going to voice my feelings here regardless, since they weren't considered in person. I booked a reservation for two indoors; it was a muggy evening with a chance of storms and a tornado watch, so not exactly al fresco dining weather. I know restaurants tend to be cold in the summer, so I wore pants, a 3-quarter length shirt, and a cardigan. When we were seated, I told the host that it was frigid there and asked if there were air vents nearby. She said two. I pointed out that it was very cold and she blankly stared at me, so I said, "Okay guess I'll deal" and sat down. When our server came over, I told him how cold I was too, as I realized the air was a direct hit, and he agreed that it was cold -- the night before had apparently been hot so management was overcompensating. If a server who's moving around, running in and out of a kitchen, says he's cold -- you know it's time to dial up the temp just a tad. Every time he came over after that, I pointed out how cold I was and he agreed. Finally, after 50 minutes, I couldn't handle it anymore and made my way back to the host stand, told them I couldn't tolerate the air anymore, and told them to move me. No apology, just pure annoyance from the host staff, so I marched back over and our server said we could sit in a booth that was behind the table. It wasn't AS frigid for me there (as it was hitting my mom straight on instead), but it was still a miserable experience. Considering how many times I voiced my feelings directly, a manager 1,000% should have shown up -- but they did not. Heck, even a comped hot beverage like a tea would've been appreciated! Nada on that front either. I just left feeling like I dined in a walk-in freezer. The food was good, I love their mahi mahi, but I can go ahead and live without it moving forward. I'd rather support businesses that actually care about their patrons. read more

This restaurant never disappoints even during the busy holiday weekend. Took some family and friends to the wine tasting. Afterwards we grab some food to share. Wish I remember the waiter name because he was fabulous and gave really good recommendations during our time there. We ended up grabbing several bottle before our departure. Highly recommend this location. Also their truffles are amazing and worth adding to your wine tasting . read more

Sooooo...I'll start with it was a Saturday night so we expected it to be quite busy. The wine was wonderful of course, I mean it is a winery after all lol. The service was not horrendous, but there was a wait for everything and in between the server was not attentive in the least. It was giving cafeteria vibes. It took about an hour and some change for us to get our food & three of us at the table ordered the same meal. I'm not exactly sure what it was supposed to look like, but we all confidently had different expectations. For the Short Rib Risotto to be $30+, I expected to have an actual short rib on top of risotto, not mixed together within the risotto. The taste was okay, but overall it was very underwhelming & quite disappointing to say the least. Cant say I would get it again, but I kinda want to see if it'll be the same. read more

Three stars is for the Wine tasting, bc the food is not that good. Loved the wine tasting and my server Chris! He made the experience great. On the flip side the restaurant part was not my favorite.

So we ordered food to go on a Sunday for dinner and we are terribly disappointed in the quality of everything. We ordered the soy ginger salmon which came without any soy ginger sauce, and we ordered the shrimp scallop risotto which had very little seafood and was bland. The service at pick up was lack luster as well, they forgot bread and butter. They handed us the bag taped up and if we wouldn't have checked it we would have gotten home and not had any bread. Now it was very busy in the restaurant but it is no excuse for poor service. We spent almost $100 to be sorely disappointed. We will not be ordering from here to go ever again, maybe they will do better if we dine in. read more

This was my 3rd visit to Cooper Hawk's Winery & Restaurant. My first experience went very well. I enjoyed the food, the ambiance & the service. My first visit was during lunch hours on a weekday. My second visit actually never happened in as far as actually sitting down & eating. I made a reservation for Father Day dinner a few years ago & even with the reservation my party & I waited 2 hours to be seated & then were told it would take at least an hour for us to receive our food so needless to say, we left. On this my 3rd visit, there were both positive & negative aspects to my dining experience . I had reservations this time as well & we were seating very quickly. It was once we got to our table that the issues started. First both the appetizer & the entree I wanted were both SOLD OUT??? So I opted for the wedge salad & the corn & tomato risotto on the menu. Both tasted delicious. The presentation, on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. The wedge salad was NOT a traditional wedge salad. It was a tossed salad with a wedge of lettuce on one side of the plate. And although the risotto was quite tasty, the was a pool of oil accumulated on one side of the dish which was very off putting. Considering how pricey of an establishment Cooper's Hawk is[and I am saying this as someone who dines at A LOT of high end restaurants] these type of errors in presentation should not be occurring. On the positive side was our server was courteous, professional & provided great menu suggestions. She also seemed to genuinely care about the subpar kitchen service being provided to the diners. I noticed people being seated for at least 30 minutes & still did not have drinks or any food. As for cocktails we ordered, I had the Strawberry Mule, which was very tasty. My sister order a customized wine flight, which she enjoyed very much. Both, however, took a while to arrive at our table, as did our entrees. Thankfully I ordered an appetizer. If I do Decide to return to Cooper's Hawk again, it would be for the cocktails, the wine & also the shop at the entrance to the restaurant. I may also give their lunch hours another try but I think for dinner I am done. They definitely have a lot of dining potholes that need to be filled. read more

Tonight was my first time here and mom's 60th bday dinner. It was very nice going in, though I wasn't greeted, I had made my way to a corner to wait since I got there before mom. Whoever took the reservation must've forgotten to write down that it was a bday celebration dinner, since the card didn't have anything under "Celebration", but I wrote down birthday and drew a candle so our server was able to wish her a happy bday. Mom got a flight of wine, expecting 4 smaller glasses, only to get 4 full glasses of wine. We did have to wait a bit for drinks, as our server may not have been told about us sitting immediately. He was great, though the drinks occasionally took a minute. He even snuck up for a surprise bday song with a pair of truffles for mom's birthday. read more

Tonight had the joy of going back to coopers but instead of wine tasting I ate in. The reservation process was super easy thru their app as I am a wine member. You can also make reservations on open table. The parking lot was full but valet was offered. We were greeted by Ricardo and Thomas who were super sweet. We were seated at a very cute round booth with the best server, Sophie! Her customer service was top tier. She was so knowledgeable and super accommodating with our eating and a picky teenager. We truly enjoyed our food and the company of our server. I even made a special request for my espresso martini to be made with tequila instead and they were so happy to get it done. The Bartender April really outdid herself with that one! The music played in the background was 90s soul and R&B and really did something to my spirit. Overall the restaurant was clean, the service was top tier and the plating and taste was amazing! Go enjoy Coopers but make sure you make a reservation! read more

I made a reservation for 3 with a request to be able to see the outdoor fountain from the table. Request was denied; I should've been told that before we were seated. I got there 1st & the black assumed female wouldn't seat me; they said 50% or more of the party had to be present which wasn't was not stated on the online reservation details. Strike 2. Then after my party arrived on time ahead of reservation time the white assumed male in gray suit red tie also wouldn't seat us; we had to wait for black female even though I saw white male seat others. Hmmmm???? My friends both ordered the chicken piccata and the butter knives on table wouldn't slice into the chicken or broccoli; we asked for steak knives. Took a while to get our checks$. As a Lebanese male have to wonder... read more

Cooper's Hawk never disappoints. For a chain restaurant the food is remarkably good. My husband and I decided to have lunch out. I'm going to be out of town for two weeks and we wanted to spend quality time together before I leave. We looked at lunch options but needed to stay close to home since we only had about an hour for our lunch break. We picked Cooper's Hawk because we know there are plenty of good options and the food would be great. For appetizers we got the blue cheese wedge salad and ahi tuna appetizer. Both were great but the salad...yum! I need to figure out how to make the blue cheese vinaigrette. I'm not a creamy dressing person so appreciate the lighter and tastier vinaigrette. For entrees, I got the tenderloin medallions from the lighter lifestyle menu, which came with Yukon gold potatoes, broccolini and grape tomatoes. It also had a nice jus that I think the potatoes were cooked in. I ordered medium rare and it came out perfectly. My husband got the shrimp and scallop risotto. He really enjoyed it. The cold weather calls for hearty food and this fit the bill. I really appreciate that I can have a healthy and tasty lunch. It didn't stop me from eating cookies when I got home but at least I saved a few calories because I would eat homemade cookies either way. ; ) read more

I explained that it was my first time here and ordered the shrimp and scallop risotto. It came in less than 5 minutes and looked like it was sitting under heat lamp! Really? When I finally received my dinner, I had to add a lot of salt and pepper. It really didn't have any flavor. I got 4 small shrimps and 4 tiny scallops. I felt like I was in a high-end Applebee's definitely not worth the money. read more

I love a Cooper's Hawk. Didn't review this location the first time I came but I'm making sure to do it now. The menu concept with the pairing choices always make it easy to know what wine to order with your meal. If you're becoming a wino or just starting this foodie/wino journey you'll love this place. My favorites at Cooper's Hawk will always be Salmon, the Burger, their salads, and the Chicken sandwich. Service is always great as this is a "sales" type of restaurant where they hope you'll become a member of their wine club. Service is exceptional. Ambiance is a mix between elegant but also neutral. You could easily come in Jeans or throw on a dress! Most are dressed up. Cooper's Hawk will always be a winner in my book. Definitely recommend! read more

A very nice restaurant with really good food. They also have a winery and have wine tasting in the lobby. The lobby also has very nice gift items. They have ample parking. Unfortunately, the service was very poor. Even with reservations, we had to wait in the lobby, even though there were a lot of empty tables when we were being seated. We noticed the same thing occurring to newcomers as we left. In addition, we found it difficult to get requests fulfilled. I asked four different people before I finally got some ketchup, and no one refilled my coffee cup until I had to request it twice. read more

Had lunch here- the room was a bit stuffy I think be cause we got there right at opening time. The people behind us were so loud I could barely hear my friend next to me. Other than that I am apart of the wine club so we got a bottle of Prosecco and enjoyed it with the Leonard burger with fries. Our server was good, he came back a few times because the tequila my friend wanted wasn't on the bar so it took a bit to for him to get his drink. read more

This is the perfect place to catch up with friends over a wine tasting. They offer three wine tasting choices: Sweet, Variety, Lux. These change monthly and the cost is $12. Cooper's also has delicious food. So, you can always have a meal before or after your tasting. I really enjoy the soup salad combo for lunch. The seasonal specials are also a nice touch of something different. Cooper's now also offers a brunch options on Saturday and Sunday until 2pm. They offer a Happy hour, Monday-Friday 3-5:30. The happy hour offers a sangria flight that isn't available any other time. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

A great evening at Coopers Hawk! We started with a tasting at the wine tasting bar in front. Drew was our very knowledgable sommelier. He worked several groups of customers seamlessly answering questions and making us feel welcome in the friendly Coopers Hawk atmosphere. The staff at this location is exceptional, but I can't say enough about all of the wonderful customers that we meet every time we visit. We meet some of the nicest people during the tastings.! We had dinner reservations so after our tasting, we requested to be seated on the patio on this cool July Friday evening. Our server Krista was very busy, but she wasn't too busy to spend time to advise us on appetizer & entree choices and share some friendly conversation. We saw Krista serving her customers on the patio and treating them with the same professional, personal care. She shared some of her favorite menu choices. The Braised Short Rib Risotto (one of Krista's favorites) was fantastic! My wife's blackened ahi tuna was done perfectly and seasoned to perfection. I have only had great experiences at Coopers Hawk which is a testament to the quality of staff and consistent training of the team. read more

Shopping for some clothes to attend a wedding and then meeting our daughter and son-in-law for dinner, so wanted a quick bite kind of lunch. We go to Cooper's Hawk quite a bit when we are in the area. We went and sat at the bar (first come, first serve) and ordered a couple of apps while watching basketball on the TV. Bartender was super friendly and attentive. We ordered the ahi tuna and chicken potstickers. They brought their bread out too. All hit the spot and was delicious! If you haven't been, definitely upscale winery vibes, with a casual, friendly feel, not stuffy. We'll definitely be back! read more

I'm a Coopers Hawk member, so I visit often--let's be honest, the wine is everything. But today was extra special because I had a one-on-one lunch date with my baby.

We both left full, happy, and already looking forward to the next visit. read more
