We stopped in to coopers mill for dessert on a weekday. Located within Marriott, it was easy to…read morefind and they had lots of seats open at the bar. I had wanted to check this place out since I recently moved walking distance to Coopers mill. I'm glad we walked because parking is regulated and for hotel guests only. There is limited street parking on pooks hill. The bartender was lovely and we immediately were given menus, when we told him we were there for dessert he recommended the fried cookie dough which was delicious. Comes with taharka vanilla ice cream which I loved since I used to live in Baltimore! The presentation of the fried dough balls was very pretty as well. The other bartender Zobe was a pleasure to speak to. He recommended good drinks and even whipped up a chocolate martini at my boyfriend's request. This place is a little pricey with a very casual atmosphere, but I enjoyed my visit and we will be back!

As for the food, it was decent - the service was good and the ambience was okay. If you're looking for a breakfast buffet, this may be a better choice than a la carte.

And this may be a best kept secret, but did you know they have happy hour all day every weekday at the bar? I go with a group of three, and we tend to just split all the happy hour food and have a party. The pide is fantastic, the burger is juicy, the gyro is flavorful ... I don't get me started on the two cocktail options, whew. It's all delicious. I need to return for brunch, and I have had some of their entrees way back, but that was their original location in DC. But I love the place and I wish them the most success!

They charged for olives in my martini! First I ordered their signature drink, after asking and…read morebeing told it was not too sweet. It was very sweet. Our server suggested a glass of white wine - undrinkable to my taste. I asked for a martini, up, with olives. It was a very nice martini - until we got the bill. They charged $1 for each olive! Outrageous! Who does this? I will never go back and promised I'd share this story with as many people as possible. The decor is old, they've done nothing to update since the prior restaurant, Positano, left. If you're contemplating this place- walk past! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else

I usually grab takeout but am happy that my friend and me were able to dine in. Tip: reservations are highly suggested as the restaurant does fill up. I can't remember the name of the cocktails that we ordered, but they were both super cute and refreshing! For starters, we ordered Brussels sprouts, which were crispy and super flavorful. I ordered the Julii burger (medium well) and my friend ordered the steak frites. We shared our dishes, which was smart of us. The burger is always a 10/10 and the steak was good too! Our server was also very pleasant and helped us with our drink choices. The place was clean and the ambiance was perfect for a Tuesday evening meal.

A lunch deli, remaking deli classics we all love such as the turkey club, pastrami, quesadillas, and much more. They also have a case of tasty gluten free cupcakes, didn't realize this until after I purchased them. I enjoyed my pastrami on wheat with crisp hot and golden fries. The staff is nice and polite. Street parking wasn't bad for a Sunday afternoon. A nice place to get a window seat and break out your laptop to get a few things done!

Whenever I'm in the area, best believe I'll be back so I can slowly order every single GF item on this menu. If anything changes with my opinion, will update!

I want to love this place but it really doesn't love me back…read more PROS * Nice menu, some healthy food options * Coffee is above average for the area and better than Starbucks * Love the outdoor area, good service CONS * The emphasis on liquor kinda kills the coffee shop vibe. I get that's way more lucrative than coffee but I mean ... insert the name of the shop. * Food is higher priced for smaller portions and lately has not been good. I most recently ordered the Impossible Burger (which I've ordered before) and it was *not* good. * The big TV running what looks like a looped investor presentation, which is weird and distracting. I get that I can sit outside away from it but you can't do that year-round and when it's very hot or very cold you get an eye full of ... whatever that is.

The service was so so considering the size of the restaurant. There seemed to be plenty of servers but we had to flag them down to order, get coffee refills and get the check. We liked the food.

Not worth the $6 price but worked for soaking up the shukshuka gravy. We had one beet salad that was very nice. We ordered the beignets at the end and they were just fair. We would still go back to try other things!
