Went to Cooper’s hawk Sunday night for the first time with my friends. First, the restaurant is beautiful and spacious, food delicious- I got the Leonard burger 10/10. That pesto Caesar salad dressing? Chefs kiss. But the best part of my experience was my server Darnell :) He was very kind, attentive and super knowledgeable (also gives great recommendations) I will be back for sure.

Yum. In true Coop’s fashion is was a tasty experience. Stopped in for a small bite and to pick up wines, and left stuffed. The food was delicious (shrimp tempura appetizer, the potstickers, smashed sliders, and fries) and the wine (Blanc de Blanc) was the perfect pairing. Reservations are needed as I feel this location is always packed. But the hype is warranted. I’ve never been disappointed. Cheers!

This was the second time I have been to the restaurant. The first time I was handed a dirty menu. The food was good, and the server was attentive. I did notice that it isn’t the cleanest place. Silverware, glassware and plates weren’t impressive. I went for Thanksgiving just recently. There was a long hair entwined in the place setting when I sat down. The restaurant, again, isn’t the cleanest. When my dinner was brought out I asked my server to bring me a plate without a hair. She did promptly, but the portions were remarkably smaller than the plate she took away. I just didn’t say anything. Nobody came over to apologize on behalf of the restaurant. The dessert with the meal was a pumpkin cheesecake, and the server brought spoons. Spoons? We were finished and I asked for the check. No gesture had been made towards the bill. I put my card in the folio and handed it to the server. I asked if she had told anyone about my first plate and she said she had told a manager. I said I was surprised someone hadn’t adjusted the bill. She said it had slipped her mind, and did I want her to ask someone about it? This isn’t the restaurant they are wanting to be.

Nice place. Service was pretty good. My wife was not happy that the waitress didn't return enough to ask her if she wanted another cocktail. My tea also ran dry. But the young lady was busy however if your try to portray yourself as a high end restaurant then you should have runners that check the basic drinks at the tables. Now turn your attention to the photo. I ordered the Surf and Turf so I could try the pretzel crusted pork chop and the pistachio crusted grouper. When my plate appeared it was very disappointing. The pork chop was one thin cut small pork chop, the kind you would get from Foodlion in a multi pack. 4 inches long 2 1/2 inches wide. Even worse was what was supposed to be the Grouper filet. 4 inches long by 3 inches and only 3/16 thick, part of it was 1/8 thick. You can see in the picture it's a little more than paper thin. The Chef really let this lack of quality of food come out of his/her kitchen! Food was pathetic. Maybe they were being bias toward me because I was coming from UVA where I had my cancer appointment and didn't have a way to change out of my country looking comfortable clothes (But nice clothes) and they didn't like that in their restaurant. No matter what, the food was unacceptable and a joke. Shouldn't of broken my rule of not going to restaurants with a review history of less than 4.6-4.7. I definitely would not risk a special night out here.

A great spot for a date, work gathering, family affair or just a nice night out. The wine selection is plentiful, along with the cocktails menu. Obviously it is a winery, so the wine selection and quality would be expected. The food was the surprising part. The menu offers many options and the quality and taste exceeded all expectations. We started off with the calamari and the egg rolls, both very tasty options. I had the crusted grouper, which was fantastic. You need to try this restaurant, you will definitely return. A++
