    My friend and I enjoy trying different spots for wine tasting; this location did not disappoint. This is a wonderful addition to the area. The inside was warm and inviting with different styled table and comfy chairs. I hate having to sit on a hard chair, there were different chairs that either had a nice curve and soft material so sitting on them wasn't so bad. We came on a Wednesday during happy hour. We both ordered a $5.00 glass of the house wine, we liked this wine better than the other more expensive versions. I love flights and did not see a flight option so the server allowed me to order three glasses with half pours at half price. The cab sav. was smooth and excellent. There is plenty of parking behind the building. You can park on the street if you want to parallel park in a small, tight spot...I tried this but the darn cop car right behind me was crowding my efforts, Haha. Personally I'd like to see a better food menu as nothing really looked all that unique or tasty.

    Gluten Free Grilled Cheese

    Excellent for Celiac or gluten sensitivity. We had the charcuterie and the grilled cheese with GF bread and crackers. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Extensive wine and cocktail selections to pair nicely with your cheese, meats or small plates. Atmosphere encourages lots of conversation. We will return often!

    We went there on a Thursday night for our ladies night out. They have specials on Thursday for this kind of event we were planning, that included specialized menu and drinks and also live music. We all enjoyed it thoroughly and also noticed they have other kinds of specials remaining days of the week which also can be very well enjoyed. Even with live music it didn't get too noisy there, and ambience was very relaxing and classy at the same time while we were dressed up, it didn't feel out of place at all. Service was nice as well, and the food menu is also specific with all items and well made.

    We've been to Vino & Vibes a bunch of times now. Each time we are throughly impressed with our drinks, food, and service. This is the perfect place for anyone. It's not just about the vino! They have delicious coffee & tea & mocktails too. Their cocktails are fantastic! They're very knowledgeable about their wine as well. The food is so good! There have been times w stopped in here for an appetizer and never made it to dinner bc we were full from our delicious apps at V & V's. This place is great for appetizers before dinner, for your actual meals and for dessert! We've tried the cheesecake, grilled cheese, lots of different charcuterie, olives, Spanish anchovies, bread & truffle EVOO, and more. The building is beautiful as well! I highly recommend this place. It's such a great part of downtown Utica. Thank you to Deanna & Anna for welcoming us into their business. I brought a couple friends here yesterday and they agree it's an amazing spot. We love it!

    Americano with REAL cream. Thank you! Local roaster, Dessert Oasis Coffee. Excellent.

    Overall, wow. What a treasure to find in charming downtown Utica. Parking - free lots and street partking. Service - hospitable, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable; wait at door to be seated; staff clearly enjoy working there... smiles, engaged, dancing along with music. Atmosphere - cool, open space with intimate vibe; loved they did NOT have sports on their TVs, rather the animal channel and the other TV had comedy-drama movies. Comestibles and potables - excellent presentations, delicious, full bar with interesting craft cocktails, drafts, bottles, and wine (of course); sangria had depth and was juicy; HH 3-6 Tu-Th. Loos - clean, stocked, beautiful decor. Entertainment - happens Th and Sa. Overall, excellent time. We love jazz, and we would just come back to hear the pianist from the jazz duo. They were pros. *thumbs up*

    Charcuterie board.

    Back for a 2nd try and every bit as good as the first. Tried a different bottle, mix on the board and relaxed and enjoyed the afternoon. Service was on point and enjoyed the chill music.

    Amazing Craft Cocktails!! Perfect place for a Girls Night Out or Date Night with the hubby. When they do have live entertainment or a dj, I love that the music level isn't too high. You can still enjoy your conversations while enjoying the music. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I can not speak to all the food, but we order the BLK truffle fries. I was REALLY looking forward to them...meh, next time, I'd try a different tasty bite and order another delicious cocktail. I love that they have a Seasonal Sensations menu and am looking forward to trying their new creations in the fall.

    The place definitely lives up to its name with amazing cocktail selection, nice background live music ( on a Thursday) and no nonsense food selection and service.

    3 3oz pours

    Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. The wine list is long but not a lot of information. I would have liked a description for each.

    Very cool and modern place. We had lunch across the street at shamrock and decided to stop by here. It's beautiful inside! Thankfully, no wait for a table at that time, though it picked up a bit after thirty minutes or so. All drinks were decent. The Utica sour was good after I got past the red wine. The port old fashioned was great, though I wish there was some kinda warning that there would be a $12 up charge for selecting a specific bourbon. I was asked, it wasn't something I demanded. I just assumed it was part of the $13 drink. So if you order it, just get whatever house bourbon they might offer. Also, we ordered the truffle fries and we never got them. But definitely a place worth checking out.

    Iris was friendly and welcoming as usual. We love dining at the bar with her. She has an incredible memory and is full of suggestions about new wines. The staff (and owners) here are fantastic. Love supporting this women owned business. The harvest board is THE best. Vegan and easily modified for gluten free folks. This upscale (yet come-as-you-are vibe) is beautifully decorated and easy to love. My favorite part of downtown Utica!

The establishment creates a nice hybrid space giving the ambiance of a retail store and a tasting experience. We were the only party in attendance for most of the time. Jen, the sole employee at the time, was helpful, attentive and personable. (Note: we arrived around 4 on a Thursday, so we didn't expect it to be busy.) There was a really broad range of available wines of many different varieties. Being from another state, I was impressed to find that Michigan had so many styles to offer, even Cabs and Pinot Noir most often associated with lower latitudes. We went with the flight options giving us 3, 3oz pours for the price of a nice, full glass of wine. At the time, our table really enjoyed the oaked Chardonnay and a Malbec. We took advantage of the $5 coupon that comes with the flight by purchasing a few bottles when we left. Snack options were available. We enjoyed a baguette with some goat cream cheese. Another item was our first choice, but they were out. We also enjoyed the cashews. If you are looking for a full meal, lunch or dinner, you can order in from DoorDash -- the sky is the limit! Overall, enjoyable experience to share with friends and loved one! Overall rating - 3.75. (Note: it's hard for me to go 4 or higher just because this is missing the winery "feel." That has nothing to do with this place, but more my preference.)

I ordered the BBQ Chicken Salad. The avocado was rock hard, the chicken tasted off, and there were visibly rotted pieces of lettuce mixed into the salad. I let our server know, and she agreed it "didn't look normal." She took it back and asked what I'd like instead. I ordered the Chicken Giardiniera. It didn't arrive until the rest of my party had already finished eating. I've had this dish here before, and this version wasn't anywhere near the quality I remembered. The server even brought me a to-go box without asking because, at that point, everyone else was done and ready to leave. When the bill came, the salad was removed, but I was charged full price for the replacement entrée--even though it was served so late that I barely had a chance to eat it. What was most disappointing wasn't the food itself, but how the situation was handled. There was no apology, no manager stopped by, and no effort to make things right. For the prices Cooper's Hawk charges, I'd expect much better food quality and customer service. Very disappointing experience, and after seeing the quality decline over multiple visits, I won't be returning.

I'm more of a dry-wine person, and honestly I probably only enjoy about 5% of the menu, but I will say the prices are great and the menu is huge. There's truly something for everyone, just maybe not for the dry crowd. I do appreciate that they offer snacks for purchase and the wine club is actually a great deal. Service: This is where it slipped for me. I've been to other St. Julian locations and had genuinely great experiences, so I know the bar is higher. Here, the service was just ok. The staff didn't seem very engaged and gave off more "going through the motions" than "happy to have you here." It felt like regulars got the warm treatment, while everyone else was kind of an afterthought, which was a bummer. Ambiance: It's always packed, which says something, but the space itself feels cold and a little warehouse-y. I really wish this location had that cozy, homey winery vibe the others do. The energy is busy but not welcoming, and the location doesn't help much either. If I could give one suggestion to the team, it'd be to soften the space and the experience a bit, warmer lighting, more interaction, something that makes people want to linger instead of just drink and leave. I know this place can be great, it just doesn't quite get there yet.
