Truly made our Anniversary celebration exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything flowed smoothly, thanks to our prior reservation, and the staff was warm and attentive. I discreetly mentioned our special occasion to the manager, and her thoughtful, understated approach made us feel both celebrated and at ease. A complimentary glass of champagne was offered to toast the evening, a lovely and much-appreciated touch. The food was extraordinary, with each dish presented beautifully and bursting with flavor. We barely waited before our meals arrived, a testament to both the skill of the kitchen and the efficiency of the staff. Our drinks were equally impressive, crafted to perfection and complemented the meal perfectly. Dining at Cooper’s Hawk was an exquisite experience, and we’re grateful for their attention to detail that made our evening feel so unique and memorable.

Oh my gosh, such amazing food. But so delicious. We came for an anniversary lunch. Our meals ranged from a burger to pistachio crusted grouper to parmesan crusted salmon to Jambalaya. All were excellent. The pretzel bread is also quite tasty. Of course, the place is full of wine of all kinds and has a bar or two or three as well as truffles and other desserts. Great service. My only complaint was the noise being streamed in masquerading as music, which didn't fit the vibe. Don't expect to come here without dropping a pretty penny. It is a pretty upscale place, and the prices match that.

Everything here from start to finish was outstanding. My husband and I love brunch, but it's hard to find someplace that both takes reservations and also is not super loud and noisy. Cooper's Hawk accommodated my request for a quiet spot by actually seating us at the bar, which indeed was very serene! I loved watching the bartender making all the various cocktails. The TVs were also muted thankfully. Service was perfect, and the manager checked on us at least twice to make sure everything was going okay. Spectacular. I ordered the Avocado Toast with a side of bacon, and my husband got the Smoked Brisket Hash. While we waited for our food I absolutely loved my Strawberry Elderflower Spritz which was recommended by our waitress. Best spritz I ever had! After trying my cocktail, my husband decided to try the Boozy Iced Coffee and he loved his drink just as much. Our food was fantastic as well, and I loved that they try their best to be unique and different with their ingredients and flavors. I'm so tired of boring "pancake house" type menus that you can find anywhere. Our eggs were cooked perfectly and everything went well together. We would both order these again if there wasn't so much on the menu we still want to try! After our meal the bar surprised us with tastings of their new seasonal house wine, a Strawberry Rhubarb Spritz. It was so good we decided to sign up for their wine club, which the wine is exclusive to. We have already made reservations to come back for dinner to celebrate our Anniversary in a few weeks! I can't wait! My only critique is that I wish the 1 bottle tier of the wine club came with a tasting like all of the other tiers. :/

Celebrated my birthday with family, who are wine club members. They get free glasses on wine as members so shared one with me. My dinner of shrimp and scallops was awesome and I had leftovers the next night.

First time, and it was great! I had the Caesar salad with chicken, which was amazing. Bruschetta appetizer and Pretzel bread. Even dessert (s'more budino) was wonderful. I'm definitely going back!!

Great fine dining experience. Wait staff attentive, helpful and great at explaining dishes. One of our group was gluten free and they have a gluten free menu. Allowed tasting of wine sample prior to ordering. Both times we have visited the food has been excellent. I rated atmosphere only a 4 due to the acoustics, lots of diners so the noise level was a little high and made it challenging for our group of 6 to hear each other and we were at a 6 person round table.

I’ve been here a few times and the food is always amazing! I had the creme brulee French toast and it was an absolute 10/10 — definitely one of the best breakfast dishes I’ve had. The only reason I’m giving 3 out of 5 stars for service is because of one visit where a full glass of water was accidentally spilled on me. Unfortunately, our server saw it happen and didn’t step in to help, so I had to get up — completely soaked — and ask a couple of staff members who were just standing nearby. We also didn’t have any napkins at our table, which made the situation worse. On top of that, our table was still full of empty appetizer dishes, bread plates, and drinks. The server didn’t clear anything for quite a while. Eventually, she returned with another staff member who cleared most of the table, while she picked up just a few smaller items. (Maybe she wasn’t able to lift much — not a huge deal — but the clutter was definitely piling up.) What really surprised me, though, was the attitude I got when I politely asked for napkins. It felt off, especially given the circumstances. That said — I want to give credit where it’s due. On a return visit, we had the same server and she was much better. She even joked about the spilled water, which made the whole thing feel lighter in hindsight. Overall, the food here is fantastic and I’ll definitely be back. I just hope the service becomes more consistent over time

The food was really good, I had a ahi tuna for starter and then the steak for main course, which was great. I had the caramel creme brulee for dessert which I would prefer a normal creme brulee but I think it was off or anything. If you order a full bottle of wine, they bring this cool pitcher to pour it from. I also got the tajin drink, which was not as spicy as I would like to.
