Restaurants near Smithsonian Institution Naturalist Center

It’s been a few years since we dined here, so was curious to see if the food was still as good as we remember. It was!! The menu had enough to choose from, but there were still daily specials offered. Chose one of them—the Halibut—and wasn’t disappointed. The local Sauvignon Gris was a nice match and the desert martinis were delicious pared with the local graham cracker crust ice cream garnished with a Snickerdoodle. Cozy Christmas decor adds to the charm of this chic rustic establishment. Don’t miss it!

Absolutely amazing tasting menu and wine pairing. Phenomenal food and gorgeous presentation. Well done!

Always enjoy dining here. Tonight was the first time that we were disappointed in our food. The Parisienne Gnocchi were great but were barely warm when served. They did reheat them and they were definitely a keeper in the menu. My beef stroganoff was very minimal on the meat and heavy on the pasta. It should have been the reverse. The salmon was not cooked as requested but good. The fare was bland and all the vegetables were barely cooked. This is a first there. We attribute it to maybe extra staff brought on for the holidays. But we still love it here!!

The food is always excellent The wine selection the best. The flight and bites are usually spot on.

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.
