While out on a Wednesday evening, my daughter and I decided to stop by Cooper's for a quick wine tasting, but the wait was far too long, so we ended up sitting at the bar and dining in. The bartender was very sweet and provided us with menus right away. Since I had a "Dine-In Only Bottle" available as a member, I ordered a bottle Cabernet Sauvignon, which is my absolute favorite. We also decided on the House-Made Meatballs (another favorite), the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini, which is a "featured" item, and the Classic Cheeseburger. While we waited, we chatted with others at the bar and since we all wanted to sample the Wine of the Month, the Blanc de Noirs, our bartender was able to provide us with a tasting, which we enjoyed. It took about 40 minutes for our food to arrive but everything tasted amazing, as always. The House-Made Meatballs never miss and the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini were amazing! My daughter enjoyed her Cheeseburger as well. Cooper's Hawk will forever be my one of favorite restaurants and I can't wait to return!!! read more

This visit reminded me why I fell in love with Cooper's Hawk in the first place! My last few visits had been a little hit or miss, so I was hoping this experience would be different--and it absolutely was. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and made for a wonderful dining experience. I decided to try several items from the **Seasonal Chef Recommendations** menu, and every course was excellent. I started with the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini, followed by the Shanghai Braised Short Ribs, which were incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I finished the meal with the S'mores dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending. During my wine tasting, I discovered the Vin Velouté. It was so good that I couldn't leave without taking a bottle home! I was also thrilled to learn that the Watermelon Paloma wine has returned--and even better, it's now a permanent addition to the wine lineup instead of just a seasonal favorite. That was exciting news! This visit truly reminded me why I've enjoyed coming to Cooper's Hawk over the years. Great food, outstanding service, an enjoyable wine tasting, and a wonderful overall experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

It's been a long time since my last visit to Cooper's Hawk. I went with my Niece and Great Niece for a tasting yesterday (Saturday) and we also had dinner reservations. All 3 of us chose sweet for our wine tasting. Our server was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about the wine. You get to taste one wine on each category listed on your menu. The samples of each wine are a generous pour. Some Wineries I've visited, do not provide big enough samples to determine if you like them enough to buy a bottle or not. Sweet Red was my favorite. Sweet Red is currently known as Romance Red. It changes names Seasonally. Dinner was outstanding. I had Gnocchi with Roasted Butternut Squash, Wild mushrooms, Sweet onion cream, Spinach, Feta and Crispy onions. It was a very tasty meal. My Great Niece chose the Pork chop and said it was the best she had ever had. My Niece had a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad which she said was delicious. I had a very enjoyable afternoon with my Nieces. We will definitely return to Cooper's Hawk soon. read more

Always packed but great food and service. Make a reservation for weekend evenings if you don't want to wait long. The wine bar was packed on a Friday night but the drinks came at a decent time, as well as the food. Fresh and flavorful but more on the saltier side for the steak. Broad menu if you can't decide what to order, get the create your own! read more

The environment here is great. Beautiful inside, and if you like wine plenty of options. The reason I am dropping my rating considerably is I was totally unaware of how bad the sodium is on most entrees. For example, simple fish and chips is one of the worst offenders! 5,500mg is sodium! It should come with a high sodium warning as that's more than twice the daily limit read more

Last night, we went to Cooper's Hawk for dinner on Valentine's Day. My wife had the crusted mahi, while I had shrimp and scallops over risotto. My dish was just okay--not well-seasoned and lacking in flavor. The food was cooked adequately, and the staff and waitress were great. The issue we had was with the mahi. It was a large piece of fish, but my wife didn't care for its flavor, so she gave me a good portion of it. As I started to eat what she gave me, I noticed that the fish did not pull apart like other fish. We have tuna at least weekly, but we always buy the wild-caught variety. About halfway through the portion my wife gave me, I began having flashbacks of turkey (pescatarian for going on 15 years). As I continued to eat, the aftertaste and smell intensified, and I was once again reminded of turkey. By the end of the piece, I was convinced it was turkey. I spoke with the waitress, who assured me that Cooper's Hawk does not serve turkey. The only other conclusion I could draw is that this was some kind of modified fish--GMO, possibly "Frankenfish." I've heard people say that you can hardly tell the difference while eating certain modified foods. Well, this piece of mahi looked like, tasted like, smelled like, cut like, and had an aftertaste like turkey. My personal cake. I'll stop there. read more

I had a great evening at Coopers Hawk. We started with drinks. I had the strawberry mule and my date had the espresso martini. I wished I got a regular mule to be honest because there was so much strawberry puree in it. If you like sweet drinks, you'd like that one. I got the regular Moscow mule and it was delicious. The bread that came out was so good too. It was pretzel bread with butter. We added some salt to it and it was perfect. We started with the tuna sashimi, which was perfect. The key is to add the sauce over the top of it all before trying to grab it with the chopsticks. If you try to pick it up without the sauce, the tuna sticks to the plate and everything falls off. You want the sauce though. It's definitely WAY better with it. Even though it's good on its own. I wished we had more. :D By the way, our server was great. I wish I wrote her name down. She was really sweet. I also liked the little decorations and items for purchase at the front. The candles smelled so good! I ordered the grilled churrasco steak and man it was top tier. My date tried it and said it was the best thing he's had in awhile. I agree. It was so tender and juicy. I got it medium rare and in my opinion, that's the way to go. I loved the roasted veg and fries with it too. We were so full after this, you had to roll us out. We definitely will come back because my date was so jealous of my dish LOL! read more

This visit was wonderful as always. We did a quick wine tasting in the main room (I highly recommend the sweet wine tasting) and then went over to the bar area, which was clean and well lit. Turns out that it was happy hour, and our server gave us information on all of their favorite appetizers, which was extremely helpful. I ended up getting the Barbacoa quesadilla and my friend got the salmon spread. The Barbacoa quesadilla was a perfect portion size for my dinner because it was stuffed with meat. The salmon appetizer was absolutely delicious and refreshing. If you are not very hungry do not look past this one. It was great! We had some Prosecco for the happy hour special and I believe it was $8 dollars a drink. Not bad! read more

Same, great Coop's standard here! The hubs and I stopped in for a first time visit while in the area and enjoyed happy hour with drinks and bites at the bar. I also grabbed the wine of the month and a few bottles to go because -- members get it! The chicken potstickers, barbacoa quesadillas, and smashed sliders were all tasty. We also ventured from our usual wine selections and tried the cocktails today. The bee's knees and nightjar old fashioned hit the spot. All in all, I've got yet another fabulous Coop's location and visit under my belt. Cheers! read more

The pretzel bread was also awesome. The risotto was a lil watery but still tasty. I would def come back and recommend this place. read more

While in town for the Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival, we decided upon Cooper's. It was a very nicely decorated restaurant and it was very spacious and inviting. We did not choose to partake in the wine tasting, but it was very popular with other guests. Devon, our server was very polite and informative. It wasn't his fault, but he was pretty overwhelmed with the amount of tables he was serving. He did a great job, but it stood some time for him to bring things back we requested, but other than that, the service he provided was good!! read more

Amazing food! Had dinner with a friend who goes here regularly. A little disappointed her medallion dinner obviously had one cut in half to make 3. Never had an issue there until tonight. Love that the patio was open on a relatively warm evening for this time of year. The dining room is spacious and beautiful decor though noisy when full. Outdoors was quieter. Love the wine tasting prior to our meal. The staff doing this was great as was our server, Juliette. read more

We got up and left. After waiting 20 minutes for a table, we sat an additional 10-15 minutes without any waiter/waitress or manager coming by to check in with us or ask us for our order. The host sat us and initially and brought us a piece of bread and two glasses of water, but that was the only person we spoke to in our time there. They asked me when adding me to waitlist, "are you celebrating anything special tonight?". I replied that it was my birthday, and we came out to celebrate and try this place out. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll be returning. Either you make people feel welcomed and seen or you are just trying to grab into peoples' wallets. read more

The service was extremely slow but the server was super nice and was doing the best she could and she managed multiple tables as the restaraunt was super busy.

Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Surf and Turf - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

My friends and I met at Cooper's for a quick dinner. They have memberships which get perks like monthly wine samplings, private tastings, desserts, 2 bottles of wine monthly, and etc. So for a wine lover it seems like a great deal!!! When you walk in they have wine related items for sale, like glasses, cork screws, coasters, and etc. They also had a tasty looking assortment of truffles that I couldn't take my eyes off of. Lol. My sweet tooth has a mind of its own. We were seated after a short wait, and our waiter Samuel gave us some recommendations. He was very honest and I appreciated his friendly and kind personality!! He was very attentive and kept our glasses refilled without having to hunt him down. He gets 5 stars for his service!! The pretzel bread they give you with butter is complementary, and was good. Although it was good, you have to put your back into it to cut it. I thought the bread was going to sling shot off the table and hit someone at another table. So I took my time. Lol. I ordered the Chicken Madeira with broccolini and Betty's potatoes. I was happy they let me substitute with no problems. The chicken was tasty, the gravy had a sweet taste to it which threw me off at first, but it wasn't bad. The potatoes were good. You definitely will have to use salt and pepper to adjust the flavor to your liking. The broccolini was sent back and replaced with broccoli. It was very tough to cut and chew. The broccoli was better. Samuel was very nice about making the change. My friends had gnocchi and salmon. Their food looked good, and they seemed happy with what they got. I liked the ambiance of the restaurant. My only complaint is the tiny tables. Even for a party of 3 it was tight. The table was full with just the bread and our waters. If your a large party it may be a little complicated. But it wasn't a big deal, we made it work. I think it's a nice restaurant with a decent amount of menu options to choose from. There's plenty of parking, and it's clean inside. Definitely check them out!! read more

Atmosphere: 3/5 - feels more like a strip-mall joint (which, to be fair, it is) than an upscale spot to enjoy ambiance. The lights were way too bright in the main area, the space felt like a conference room with tables, and there was weird outdated club music playing. Also, no soap or TP in the bathroom stall, had to go searching, which wasn't great. Food: 5/5 - absolutely amazing. I'm a very picky eater, especially with beef, and the short rib was incredible: tender, super flavorful, and no gross fatty pieces. The carrots and mashed potatoes were perfect, no notes. My boyfriend got the surf and turf (not pictured because he ate it before I could snap a photo), but it looked phenomenal and tasted excellent. Service: 5/5 - our server Ny'Asia was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really taken care of. We appreciated the complimentary wine samples and shared a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc, which we both enjoyed very much. They also surprised us with a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was so kind and appreciated. Overall, the atmosphere could definitely use some improvement, but the food and service made up for it. Would come back for the short rib alone. read more

Cooper's Hawk is always a great option, it can be busy sometimes so be sure to get a reservation, but they have great food and obviously an outstanding wine selection! You can join their wine club and get special offers and deals of course but their steaks and sides are the real attraction for me. Always very nice service and superb ambience, a great place for a nice quiet lunch or Evän a dinner date with your significant other, located right next to Lynnhaven Mall so super convenient, good parking too! Lol I've definitely been to some steakhouses around here with limited parking. Overall great experience every time, I highly recommend.! read more

Okay, first of all, let it be known that this review is NOT in regard to the restaurant as a whole but rather their "Gluten Free" line of options (which are extensive). This is also mostly due to my own mistake of not paying attention to exactly what I was ordering, but I am glad that I did because I would not have discovered this otherwise. I have friends and family that either are or choose to eat GF and they pick and choose their restaurants based on the options available there (makes sense). Coopers Hawk would be a no-brainer because they essentially offer just about everything with a GF alternative, and they are known for their exceptional food and quality. This is honestly the only reason I am even writing this negative review, because after ordering their GF cheeseburger (accidentally) I was honestly surprised and disappointed that it was even presented as an acceptable option, because it does not at all live up to the same standard and quality of the rest of their food, and I firmly believe that if you set a standard for quality, you should not ever provide something that is substandard. Their GF bread and bun options were basically your typical idea of what GF options were like years ago when it first became a thing, incredibly dried, chalky and literally falling apart. It tasted like cardboard and I honestly feel sorry for anyone that goes there expecting a quality product (which Coopers is KNOWN for) and then getting a rude awakening when this arrives to their table. GF bread has come a long way over the years and these guys should be actively searching for better options and alternatives to what they are currently providing to their customers. With that being said, this restaurant is STILL exceptional with all of their other products, the quality of the food is great, the creativity in the dishes, the taste, everything is excellent. So PLEASE , do not let this review prevent you from giving them a chance, I would just ask you to potentially consider not ordering anything GF from here and becoming dissatisfied with the restaurant as a whole because of it. Hope this helps and kudos to anyone that made it this far haha. read more

We had dinner tonight at Cooper's Hawk Restaurant in the Lynnhaven section of Virginia Beach. They were busy for a Wednesday but we were able to score a table for two within minutes of walking in the door. We started with the meatballs and they were delicious. There was a generous amount of sauce and the bread was toasted perfectly. Next we split the Wedge Salad because it's a rather big portion. The ingredients were fresh and very tasty. For our main dish we split the Filet Mignon served with broccolini and roasted root vegetables. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the veggies were very good. Our server was very attentive and we had a great experience here. read more

I didn't out for anyone because I had too far to drive but had the flavored lemonade which wasn't good and I didn't end up drinking it I ended up getting a glass of water.

I was so excited to learn that there is a Cooper's hawk in VA beach. I've been to one in Columbus Ohio, but we don't have one where I live. I'm visiting my daughter and son in law and requested to dine here. I LOVE their almond sparkling wine, it's so delicious. We were there for lunch, had just a few minutes to wait for a table so we had a sample taste of a wine before we were called to our seats. Our server arrived quickly with water and we ordered the bubbles flight. Our entrees were very fresh and hot. It was tough to decide on what to get with all the amazing selections.

Where do I begin? My family and I came last night to celebrate an engagement in our family. It was a party of 8. We arrived at 8:30 PM and we immediately ordered 3 bottles of wine. Those bottles of wine took 45 minutes to come out. During that time we also ordered three soups and apps that came out BEFORE our wine? We ordered our food as well and our food didn't come out until 10:05PM. They close at 10 PM...my sister grabbed a manager and she was apologetic and said she is going to look at it and come back to us...she never did. The MANAGER never came back to check on us. This is probably the worst service on such a special occasion. The good...the lobster, crab and shrimp bisque was the best I've ever eaten and the playlist they have is absolutely fire. The com... my parm crusted mahi mahi was dry but since it was over 10 PM, there was no point in speaking up.

Coopers Hawk is a popular chain, and it's letting that get to its heads. I've been to a couple different locations and seen it continue to go downhill each time. We had a reservation and still had to wait almost 30 min for a table after our reservation time. Our server was almost nonexistent the entire time. The best part of the meal was the fresh pretzel bread. The sandwich I ordered was lackluster and bland. The side salad was a tiny portion. Overall not a great experience. read more

Came to Cooper's Hawk with a group and was excited to see how the night would go as I have eaten here only once before and do not remember much. I know a lot of people love this spot, so I was looking forward to my experience. Our server was new but did a great job for our sizable party of 7 and was super sweet. Overall, we had a great dinner, and our server was nice enough to take photos at the end as we were celebrating a team farewell. Please note my review of dishes I received/tried below. Peach Sangria- 9/10 Passionfruit Sangria -8/10 Lettuce Wraps- 6.5/10 (served cold, loved the sauces but wasn't super wowed) Potstickers- 5.5/10 (little filling inside, also loved the sauce, but not super memorable) Meatballs- 8/10 (great flavor overall) Calamari- 6/10 (These are glazed, and I personally think I'd prefer crispy calamari over this, again loved the sauce) Shrimp- 9/10 (bacon wrapped, served on avocado. Big shrimp, great flavor and everything worked with this one, memorable bite) Gnocchi Pasta with Scallops added for $12 extra- 6.5/10 (Scallops cooked well, chicken pieces were random, sparse and not uniform, fell a lil flat but still good, needed pepper for me personally) Chimichurri Flank Steak w/ Parm Fries- 8.5/10 (One word- Yummy) Shrimp and Scallop Risotto - 4/10 (Dry, lacked flavor, fell very flat) Crème Brûlée- 6/10 (Nothing memorable) Reese's Skillet Cookie- 5/10 (cookie was tough to dig into for some reason, liked the ice cream paired with it but didn't taste special, however in defense I'm not a huge peanut butter person) As noted above, the food did not personally blow me away so I don't think I'd make another visit soon, but I would not be opposed if this spot was chosen for another group dinner or outing as I am open to further exploration of the menu/ drink offerings. read more
