    Wine tasting with Colleen
    Richard B.

    Another fabulous wine tasting experience, thanks to Colleen, our outstanding wine steward. Her recommendations were spot on, and she made sure our glasses were never empty. General Manager Eric Fox and Nathan went above and beyond to seat us in a perfect spot in the dining room, setting the tone for a wonderful evening. Our server, Alyse M, was pleasant, knowledgeable, and delivered impeccable timing throughout the meal. Whether it's a special occasion or a date night, Cooper's Hawk in Wheeling never disappoints. You always get it right!

    Nice Mothers Day meal. The prime sandwich is always a winner! Wasn't really impressed with the Asian slaw side. Tried the special mocha tiramisu and it was delicious but very rich so would suggest sharing. Service was impeccable (it was Mother's Day of course haha). Free glass of Champaign for moms which was cool. Cute little surprise was a duck nesting in one of the flower beds.

    Delicious food, great service and a fantastic wine selection. Cooper's Hawk features their own wines as well as a popular selection of additional wines. We were served warm pretzel bread to start and were offered seconds! Both entrées were cooked to perfection and were served up nice and hot. We sat in the bar which had 80's tunes in the background, slightly dimmed lighting and candles on the high top tables, perfect for a casual evening for two! We hadn't been to Cooper's Hawk in several years, but have added back to our list!

    I have been to this Cooper Hawk location on numerous occasions. This is a very nice restaurant w/a beautiful ambiance & a good variety of delicious foods. As always my wife and I stop @ the wine bar for a tasting of Cooper Hawks wines before going to the dining room for dinner. We always ask for Susan as she has a humorous personality & a very good knowledge on the wines & always seems to offer a good selection during the tasting. She really seems to enjoy her work as the customers also enjoy her knowledge & humor. She's a great asset for Cooper Hawk. Thanks for the great service Susan until next time.

    Came here for a work celebration dinner. This was my first time eating at Cooper's Hawk since being diagnosed with celiac outside of wine dinners. They have a separate GF menu with lots of options. The server brought out GF bread. We ordered a pitcher of the raspberry sangria, GF burrata, lettuce wraps and brussel sprouts to share. Everything was delicious! I also had the GF country gnocchi and crème brûlée. Can't wait to try other options.

    Everything went perfectly during this visit to Cooper's Hawk. My party of 8 had a reservation and we were seated right on time. Our server, Brendan, was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food was delicious, as always.

    In search of comfort food after a trying day, we stopped at Cooper's Hawk. Short rib quesadilla was a special appetizer. It was very tasty and prompted me to order the short rib grilled cheese paired with tomato bisque. So good! It's still summer, so we ordered a bottle of bubbly sangria, which was delicious. Our server was attentive and helpful.

    I love the food at coopers Hawk. The staff was very friendly and the location is gorgeous. The gnocchi and Thai chicken wraps were amazing.

    Drunken Shrimp
    Ci H.

    I have visited this location many times over the years as a lot of people really enjoy it. Ambiance: The pluses are an enjoyable ambiance. Upscale causal atmosphere. Relaxing to chat & relax. Food: Standouts were the Drunken Shrimp appetizer. Bacon wrapped with tequila lime butter sauce & fresh guacamole. Very fresh & juicy start to a meal but only 6 large shrimps. Bread was warm & fresh out of the oven. I think it was a pretzel style bread. Scallop Gratin was super delicious, a large serving & a chef recommend item on their menu. Pretzel Crusted Pork Chop today was just ok tasting but previously the best pork chop I had on past visits. The Pistachio Crusted Grouper & Parmesan Crusted Fillet Medallions were alright. Drink: Enjoyed the "Bubbles" flight. Cooper's Hawk Lux Sparkling & Almond Sparkling were my favorites. Parking: This place gets busy & the lot is very small. Allow extra time on the weekends. Service: I've always had excellent service in the many times I've been here. Once, last yr, something needed to be rectified & the female manager was so apologetic, super nice & professional. Today, service was great too. Efficient is how I would describe it. Reservations: Make one. This is a popular place that gets packed on the weekends. Overall: Get the scallop gratin, wine flight & enjoy the ambiance.

    Tasting two wines

    For real this place was all great until the end ( otherwise I would have left a better review) My husband had been wanting to come here for a while and we finally did. First impression walking in was nice, it looks like a fun place to go with the little retail and tasting room. The host was super nice ( Michelle I believe is her name) The waitress was a bit off but she was fine too The nice touch is they give you samples before you decide on which wine you want. Appetizers were good specially the drunken shrimps AMAZING! Entrees were also delicious and dessert not so much. The waitress offered me a sample of their special wine of the month and I liked it. I ordered a glass of it So ALL great up to here. We paid and on our way out we checked the little retail place they have and I see the bottle of the wine I had just had, grabbed it, waited for the person to check out to only find out that you can't buy it unless you sign up for their wine program and commit to at least 1 bottle per month, so this was a big no for us. They should have a price for members and a more expensive option for non members so not sure how fun can be to have their own wines but limit the sales. Idk if it's just me but this was the worst way to end our delicious experience here. Is also wanted to buy a gift card for my parents for the wine tasting but at this point I'm not even sure if I can even do that or if it's also only for members

    Banoffee Pie

    Loved the wine pairing suggestions for each dish and the server was happy to bring tastes of wine so we got what we wanted. Food was good, but 3 star not more. Solid, nice presentation but not inventive. Nice lively casual ambiance.

    Parmesan Parmesan-Crusted Mahi Mahi
    Samantha G.

    The food is delicious. I got the Parmesan Crusted Mahi and it was just so so good every bite. Also the wine is always good. It was a busy dinner time and the service could have been better. Our server didn't come by often or offer any drink refills. Best to go during less busy times. We had a 7pm reservation.

    Cooper's Hawk is such a fun spot. Upscale but not too pricey, great deals for wine club memberships & wine tastings. My favorite dish is the chicken piccata. Lobster bisque is also great. Susan is my favorite at the wine bar, have not seen her as much recently- she helped me and my cousin sign up for wine memberships, great deal if you like wine. She always provides such a memorable experience for me and my family. Management here is also very attentive. Jose is a great server too, can't say enough about the awesome staff here.

    Desperately needs better Sound absorption. Even in a small room the noise was awful. Food was mediocre. High prices.

    Ask the Community - Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant

    It's April and still cold and rainy :( Do they have heaters on their patio?

    Hi Alex! We do have heaters on our patio. We'd recommend giving your local Cooper's Hawk a call the day you plan to dine with us to confirm they are seating outside: (847) 215-1200

    Now that indoor dining is closed again, is the patio heated?

    I was there recently and they had heaters on the patio.

    Do they wine tastings on Mondays and Tuesdays?

    Yes. Anytime the restaurant is open, the tasting bar is open. You can just walk in and do a tasting at any point.

    Any vegan options?

    Yes! There are a few good options. One may require requesting no cheese in the enchiladas. Another is a quinoa dish. Both very tasty!

    Is the wine tasting free? Or do you have to pay for whatever you try?

    The sweet and variety tastings are $8 per person. The lux tasting is $13 per person and includes a complimentary truffle or strawberry. If you are a 2 bottle wine club member you get two complimentary sweet or variety tastings per month. If you are… Read more

    Good for ladies lunch?

    Perfect place for a ladies lunch! Make sure you try the Mexican shrimp appetizer.

So I stopped by the membership desk asking if we could upgrade our membership. Since they couldn't do it in their system (and said they would get back to me during the week), they gave me a free pass to get in so I could push my mom in a wheelchair. The CBG is so kind to provide free wheelchairs for people in need. The only thing that would be even better is if more of their garden areas were accessible for wheelchair users, strollers, etc. I also visited the gardens on a Thursday morning for their music concert. The weather was perfect, and the performances were absolutely wonderful. The musicians were so very talented! Overall, this place is the best. The entire staff is always warm and welcoming, helpful and friendly.

Then found various places to enjoy sitting and reading alternating with meandering strolls. Every area is beautiful although weekends can get quite crowded. Some of the further areas as well as the pines and wooded areas are usually a little less crowded. What was new for me this time was realizing their food offerings are wonderful. Not only do they have quite a variety but they cater to various dietary restrictions including swapping in tofu to make items vegan or vegetarian on some meals. The ideas range from burgers to fried chicken to excellent salads and tacos. I decided to try the beet hummus with roasted carrots because it seemed so fresh and innovative. Perfectly balanced meal with slightly sweet smooth hummus, crunchy pita chips, lightly toasted sweet carrots with a good chew still left in them. Plus a whipped goat cheese, pistachio pieces, and powdered mint. The flavors were wonderful.
