We are frequent diners at Cooper’s Hawk, and not just the one in Wheeling. The food was great, the ambiance and noice were within reason. But what really stood out, beyond the food and wine, was the service. Above and beyond, management should be proud of their crew!

Food was great but realize the chili is really hot, couldn't finish it. I also would have liked the ahimsa tuna to be cooked a bit longer. Other than that meals were great for everyone else.
