You always receive the finest service at Cooper's Hawk, but Seday brought it to another level! We were sitting on the patio with just one other couple, and she was attentive to our every needs with a smile and fun comments. The appetizers that we had from the Wine O'clock Happy Hour menu were superb: Four cheese truffle arancini, crispy tempura shrimp and melt in your mouth shaved prime sliders! The $8 a glass wine made everything slide down easily. read more

Our latest visit was not what we expected, although the service was very good. It took forever to get our entrees, and the entree had chicken tender instead of chicken breast read more

We went there a few days ago with some friends. It was our 55th wedding anniversary and Manager Kim went above and beyond to make it a special occasion. The food was excellent and our server was pleasant and accommodating. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you, Kim! read more

We celebrated my birthday here. The restaurant is so nice. It's nice to see the bottles of wine. We ordered a sangria, appetizers, chicken entree and pasta. Everything was delicious. For dessert we got the crème brûlée and cookie with ice cream. Dessert was so decadent. The service was great. Our server was attentive. I want to return soon and try other dishes. read more

We went to the St. Charles location. The place is very nice and big, lots of seating and parking. We had a short wait, but there are things to see, shop, there's a bar, etc. I like to see the collection of wine displays. We ordered the sangria, chicken Madeira , prime rib sandwich and cookie with ice cream. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. We will be back for the brunch and bubbles. read more

my absolute favorite restaurant is . The Saint Charles location is my favorite. You can see the sunset from the patio sip amazing wine feeling like you're in Italy at a vineyard. And be sure to Sam who always knows exactly and has a smile on his handsome face. Coopers Hawk is more of an experience than just a restaurant and you feel like family as they bring you amazing food and are always making sure that everything is to your liking and expectations. They must go to. read more

Five stars all the way. Sara was absolutely amazing - friendly, upbeat, and so attentive. She made our whole experience feel special. And a huge shoutout to Kim, the supervisor, for her outstanding customer service. You can tell she truly cares about guests. Thank you for making our special occasion so special. read more

Outstanding service by Kim... made you feel no pressure nor judgement while enjoying a tasting. The upsell to a higher membership was smooth and perfectly placed during conversation. Truly an asset to this location and you front of house. read more

Terrible system for carry out. Don't waste your time. They care way more about trying to upsell wine, than they do getting you food while it's hot. read more

We have gone there many times. We went on March 24, 2026 for our anniversary. We were so disappointed in the experience. We got there 10 min early and the hostess said we had to wait, even though there there were lots of tables open. So we grabbed a drink from the bar, went back and she was seating others and told us she was texting and calling. Checked our phone, and she didn't. Our food came out cold and our waitress said "sorry for the delay, the kitchen is having problems". We think she forgot to bring it and blamed it on the kitchen. Then when she brought the check, she asked how much to add for tip, we said 20%. Our bill was about $45, we didn't order drinks with our meal. She brought it back for us to sign and she added $17 for her tip! read more

Amazing staff and great food wonderful place to enjoy with family and friends. Any events or occasions

I went here with my mom on a Friday for a late lunch There is a side area / atrium seating area where we sat Service was slow and we didn't order wine with our lunch so in some strange way I think this left us a bit neglected. Our wait person took a long time to check on us during our meal Food was good but a bit to much oil for my liking Will continue to explore other options in the area A bit disappointed as I know many friends that belong to the wine club and enjoy their time here. read more

Becoming members here was one of our best marriage choices ever. Cooper's Hawk provides a consistently excellent go-to for date night. It has the best wine in the area with no markup on bottles... amazing. The tastings are always a highlight of the visit but I will also say that the staff here is older, more experienced, and all around fantastic... such a plus in restaurants. They know us by name! It's clear that Cooper's Hawk treats their staff well because retention is high, even through the pandemic. I even know of someone who worked here through a difficult cancer journey and Cooper's Hawk management was incredibly supportive throughout. One more reason to be so happy to support them. All the food is great but if you're stumped then get the Brussels sprout appetizer, medallion trio and truffles for dessert on your way out. And be sure to get a bottle for the table--they can bottle up anything that's left for you to take home!! read more

Stopped in just for a glass of wine no food. The bartender Carey was very attentive and kind. She explained the advantages of memberships but did not pressure us to commit. Enjoyable time and we will be back! read more

The server was very good (Casey)! I had a chicken sandwich with very little chicken on it. I shared it with my son, and I had 1 bite of chicken on my half. My half was mostly a tomato sandwich. My husband's and son's pasta were tasty, but very small portions for $20. My husband came home hungry. Very disappointing and won't be back. Being a little more generous with the portions would be appropriate, with the hefty lunch prices. There are many restaurants in Geneva that have great food, with better portions and better prices. read more

Great service! Suggested different items. Great choices. I went in thinking I wanted a moscato not sure how I ended up with a martini It was delicious! I had never been to this location just happened to be in town for a team meeting. I'm so glad this was the chosen place to eat. I watch a lot of food network television and they always talk about braised ribs and risotto so this was my perfect opportunity to try it and it was delicious. I had a small corner left and had to take it with me. I ate it cold that evening. (Only 2 spoon fulls) delicious. I really wish I had gotten the servers name because he was awesome. I can't wait to go back! read more

Went to have a wine tasting for my mom's birthday. We had Stacey as our bartender and she definitely created a special occasion for us, creating such a fun atmosphere. She was super fun and personable, when I asked her for "dealers choice" she was right on the money with her suggestions. She even got us to pair some delicious truffles with our red wine and it was amazing. I intend on coming back soon! read more

Excellent service and food. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on menu items. The Bloody Mary had all the works and flavor that can be rated in my favorites. The appetizer of Tuna and Short Ribs entree was beyond flavorful. Great bar area to meet with friends for happy hour or nice date place. read more

Joline is by far the best waitress ever!!! Absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you Joline and St Charles Coopers Hawk!!!

I mainly frequent the south Barrington location but I have visited this location a handful of times. I like how open this one is compared to the S. Barrington location. My husband and I came here multiple times once it opened and the service was seriously lacking. We had a couple of awful service experiences so we decided to just stop coming to this location. A few months ago I came here to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. Our waitress was excellent and the service provided was great. However, I wonder if that is because we were such a large party. I'm willing to come back again as I've noticed a drop in quality of service at the S. Barrington location. read more

My family and I had dinner here recently and were lucky enough to be served by one of the best waitresses l've encountered in a long time. Seday was incredibly attentive, warm, and professional throughout the entire evening. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and her recommendations were spot-on. What really stood out was how effortlessly she balanced friendliness with efficiency-never missing a beat, always anticipating what we needed before we even asked. It made the whole experience feel seamless and genuinely enjoyable. Kudos as well to the manager, Chris for clearly cultivating a culture of excellence and hospitality. You can tell the staff is well-trained and supported, which makes a huge difference. I highly recommend dining here if you're looking for great food paired with truly exceptional experience.

Honestly, only reason this is a five star review instead of four is because of our server Sam. He made what would have been a good night out into an amazing night out. He was so friendly and knew the menu front to back and made my friends and I laugh so many times. Genuinely an inviting personality, if you are going to St. Charles, ask for Sam it will make your night better. read more

We had dinner last night. Our server was Casey. He was fantastic! He made great suggestions and was always "Casey on the spot" with whatever we needed! read more

We stopped in for an early birthday dinner. The bar was lively already at 4 pm. Our server Jolene was top-notch. We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts, which were delicious as usual. We ordered the chicken piccata and the shrimp and scallop risotto. The chicken piccata was prepared well. We asked for extra sauce, and we received it. The shrimp and scallop risotto were okay, I would have preferred a bit more flavor in the dish. This could be a personal preference. However, even some salt would have helped. I would probably try a different entree on my next visit. We finished with the flourless chocolate cake (with extra whipped cream). It was delightful The service was great and food good. read more

Excellent Filet Mignon, and the service by Rachel was exceptional. The Mahi Mahi was reported to be perfectly prepared. The fingerling potato & french onion gratin was so good that I'll order it again. We enjoyed the thai lettuce wraps, which could have been a meal in itself with generous proportions. And, the appetizer and meal itself were very will timed. That is important. read more

This is a great spot for a night out. Kim M is the best when it comes to the wine tasting. She is so fun to talk to and has great recommendations! read more

An upscale, casual dining place for all! My family and I have been to the St. Charles location a few times and just recently for Christmas dinner. We are continuously impressed by the quality and taste of the food and wine tasting options. This place also gets super busy during the holiday seasons, so I would definitely recommend getting a reservation. This was the first time I tried the Chef's special of Butternut Squash Ravioli with Maine Lobster and Shrimp and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It is a bit on the sweeter side but the seafood pairs so well with the butternut squash, allowing for a balance of flavors. My brother had the Filet Mignon which he commented was very tender and juicy. My dad thought the Shrimp & Scallop Risotto was alright but slightly overcooked. Lastly, my mom enjoyed her pan-roasted Mahi Mahi but did note that it was lacking in a sear and would've appreciated more color. Although, we have liked a few other menu dishes in the past, we plan on returning back to try more. On the other hand, I do think that service could have been better, and the noise level and crowdedness seemed to be quite overwhelming. Then again, maybe it was just the holiday spirit! read more

My Mom has been a wine club member for more years than I can remember now and she visits the STC Coopers Hawk the most since it's so close to her home. We attended a wine club dinner last night and the food and service was so amazing. But truthfully, it's always amazing. The staff there, from managers like Anthony, on down to servers like Dillon, Faith and Michael, treat you more like a mom and pop restaurant than a franchise. They sit and talk to you and remember you from past visits. I generally don't drink wine when I'm there because I live an hour away, and I've been to other places where that can be awkward, but never at Coopers Hawk. The food is always consistent, the service always friendly and knowledgeable, and I really believe that will always make them appealing to everyone, whether you're a wine drinker or not. But specifically this location, stands above the rest! Keep up the good work! read more

I had a business lunch with one of my work teams. I think this was my second visit to Cooper's Hawk that I actually ate at. I wasn't super hungry, so I just got the shrimp/crab/lobster bisque. Very good and I would definitely order it again. I think everyone else got a more substantial meal like the pork chops or a steak/blue cheese salad. Everything looked delicious and portions were significant. Most of us actually ordered dessert as well. I got what was a fancy s'more; ohmigod. That MARSHMALLOW. The marshmallow had to be about three inches high. Incredible. Others got the Reese's Cookie and the Key Lime Pie. Service was regular and we didn't have to wait for drink refills. I arrived late but I assume the party was seated promptly. I think I will return in the future! read more

Went here for my birthday, they were insanely busy. Our waiter, Chase, was amazing, as soon as he found out I was gluten free he brought out bread and a special gluten free brownie for my birthday treat! And YES they finally have gluten free bread so you don't have to sit and watch your group enjoy the yummy pretzel bread. Food and drinks are always great here. Although the manager came out to tell us they ran out of tortillas for the enchiladas, they were very accommodating to the inconvenience. What really amazed me was the gluten free options here and our waiter being really sweet! read more

We had Lacy as our server this afternoon. The food was good had Caprese flatbread, bruschetta and crispy Brussels sprouts . Split a wedge salad and beef short ribs Rissito . Chocolate cake was excellent . Good Bloody Mary had a sample of the barrel reserve. Was excellent . The wedge salad was good but next time I'll ask for dressing on the side. We sat indoors near outdoor patio and the flys were inside swarming out table . Kind of grosse . The food was great. My friends had meatballs and the pork chops with gigantic onion rings. I need a nap, read more

After having a negative experience at a different location weeks ago, my husband and I decided to give Cooper's Hawk another chance by having a date night at a different location. This time, we decided to join the wine club and we were thrilled about it! I really enjoy their romantic red wine, while my husband loves the Cooper's Hawk red. During our visit, we indulged in two bottles of wine. The establishment was pristine, and the staff displayed a high level of hospitality.For our appetizer, we selected the drunken shrimp, which was accompanied by a delightful tequila sauce. For the main course, I opted for the surf and turf featuring the drunken shrimp, while my husband chose the fish option. Both dishes were prepared to perfection, with my meat cooked well and my husband's cooked medium rare. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and intend to return to Cooper's Hawks for both additional wine purchases and the opportunity to savor another exquisite dinner. read more

Curbside order -- late, huge line, had to go inside. Just skip it -- too many other good restaurants in the area.

Ordered Betty's potatoes with my lunch order. Server, Lisa, delivered Mary's potatoes. I then waited more than 15 minutes for my meal. Lisa said, "there you are ". No apologies and no consideration for service discount. One of the only bad experiences I've had read more
