I have been dining here since 2011. Service, food, and atmosphere are always top tier. Kristin S was our server and she was fantastic! All the staff is amazing and the food is absolutely incredible.

We came with a larger group. We started with doing the tasting. James was awesome and walked us through all of the different wines. The tasting area was pretty crowded though and we were shoulder to shoulder with people the entire time. There was nowhere to sit so we had to stand the whole time. Not my favorite way to enjoy wine. Dinner took forever. The waiter got our wines mixed up too. But dinner took about an hour and a half. I wouldn't recommend this place for a quick bite by any means. Tons of tables were open and there was a long line waiting for tables as we left so we're not sure why they didn't want to turn tables efficiently. The food was really good though! The lobster bisque was really good as were all of the pasta dishes. Well probably be back but we'll be sure to budget for a more European style of dinner

This was my first visit. We arrived for a late lunch. This was a very nice atmosphere. The service was exceptional and the food was wonderful. The brussel sprouts were fantastic and with such a large portion we ended up sharing our entree, the Mahi sandwich, which I would recommend. Will definitely be back.

Wine Tastings, Membership for More Wine, Wine Time with Friends? All of the above? YES! We love Cooper’s Hawk. We literally look forward to grabbing two bottles every month, and we love that we can convert our two wine tastings into two glasses of wine when we dine at the restaurant. We’ve had the $15 birthday discount, and that gave us a free appetizer (and they even give you a free dessert on your birthday!). They are a company that is dedicated to excellence. I do think that even when it gets crowded, there are many areas to sit and stand while waiting for a table. The restaurant has a big parking lot, and we always find a place to park. The overall atmosphere is relaxing, and I love the dimmer lighting to make it more romantic. I know my wife and I have a challenge getting out of the house for two dates when we are raising up two littles but it’s so worth it! If you are in need of some good company, trying some new wine, or just want to experience a unique restaurant that has the customer service at the top of mind, you need to visit. And be sure to try the membership! Worth every penny!

It was my first time going to Cooper’s Hawk to celebrate my 2025 birthday and it was SUPER AMAZING!!! The food was absolutely delicious. Very tasteful, the roasted vegetables had my taste buds popping. The medallion steak was so good. I came back three days later with my bestie but she wanted to take me to the Avon location… but both places the atmosphere was great. Everyone was so nice including the front staff, waitresses, and even other guest wished me all happy birthday. It was the best birthday I’ve had in a year lol
