“I didn’t receive a steak knife until 10 minutes after my meal and had to use the bread knife to cut my steak”
The food taste alright but the portions size is incredibly small. I had the steak and salmon combo with the potatoes.
It was our first time eating at this location. Our waiter was perfect!. We were there celebrating my sister’s birthday.

We had a great experience at Cooper’s Hawk. The food was delicious, and our server, Amy, was amazing. She was attentive, funny, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. She checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. Her great attitude really stood out. We’ll definitely be back!

Lizet R. is the best I’ve seen in a long time as a server! Her recommendations alone gained my trust! The meatball appetizer was delicious! The shrimp wrapped in bacon was delicious but what really gained my respect was the guacamole that was paired with the shrimp! It was incredible. That’s saying a lot because I do not like guacamole! Now the show ender was of course the braised short ribs! And they never disappoint! Will be back!!!! The wine of course was top tier!

“This wine establishment strikes an excellent balance between refinement and approachability.”
This wine establishment strikes an excellent balance between refinement and approachability. The space itself is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed—warm wood shelving, clearly curated selections, and an overall layout that feels intentional rather than overwhelming. You immediately get the sense that this is a place that takes wine seriously, without taking itself too seriously. What truly elevated the experience, however, was our sommelier, Anthony. He was exceptionally knowledgeable yet refreshingly down-to-earth—social, funny, and genuinely attentive without ever feeling scripted or sales-driven. He took the time to understand preferences, explained selections clearly, and made the experience feel both educational and relaxed. It’s rare to find someone who can speak fluently about wine while also making guests feel completely at ease, and Anthony did exactly that. From the inviting ambiance to the quality of service, this is the kind of place you visit once and immediately plan to return to—whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply looking to enjoy a well-guided glass in a thoughtfully curated setting. Highly recommended, came in as a guest with a friend left as a member! Can’t wait to chat up with Anthony again with more friends!

We decided to stop in between grocery shopping for a quick bite, not expecting to be delighted by Jessica G’s warm and welcoming service. She created a relaxing and entertaining environment, including food and drink recommendations. Her bubbly persona was the icing on the cake and basis for our excellent experience. We will definitely be returning to sit in her section!

My children and I had a great time celebrating my Daughter's 19th birthday. The host staff was very inviting, our waitress Rachel was great, and the food was amazing. I've always enjoyed my visits to any Cooper's Hawk, but this one was special, and I appreciate the great experience. I also got a great bottle of Spiced Pear. 🍐 🤗

“We started out with the tasting and had great service.”
We started out with the tasting and had great service! Every wine was delicious and our server was so fun. We then went to our table and got southwest eggrolls and a flatbread. Both were amazing with great unique flavors! Anything on the menu here is great and the service is always on par. We ended the meal with their signature truffles. everything was a 10/10 except for some reason they weren’t playing any music which made the atmosphere a little odd but didn’t ruin the vibe completely!

Food was good. We were able to get a tasting of the seasonal wine prior to buying it. Our server on this day was great. They have a nice gift shop where you can buy bottles of wine, chocolates and seasonal items.
