This was my first trip to Coopers Hawk and i will definitely go back. My Daughter bought us a gift card for our anniversary, so we went made reservation through this app which was very easy. We used her December tasting and found some really good wines. The pours were very generous, and the server was very knowledgeable about the wines. Our dinner was fantastic and the service top notch.

Everything was absolutely perfect. Because of mobility issues for both my wife and I, the manager ensured we had a regular table and chairs. The food was excellent. We both started with a cup of chili. Very good, with a slightly sweet taste. Both the crab cakes and lamb chops were great. Our server, Quamrul M., couldn't have been kinder or more professional. He checked on us regularly without being intrusive. Our special requests were handled perfectly. Many thanks to everyone for an unforgettable evening.
