Copperwood is a perfect winter spot. The menu has something delicious for everyone -- it is high-quality comfort food with plenty of veggies and sides as well as meat and fish options. The ambiance is super warm, cozy and inviting -- with classy mountain cabin vibes. The staff accommodated additions to our party and seating requests, despite being very busy. The service was great -- drinks and food came out quickly and correctly. We ordered cocktails, salads, oysters, a variety of entrees, and desserts. Not a bad choice among them. I'll be hanging at CT this winter, an you should too.

I have been to Royal for years before the recent changes. Definitely noticed some changes in the restaurant itself and the food selection is more upscale. Food was very good and our server, Kimberly, provided us with a great experience!
