- KKunoVIPChicago / Illinois •225 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI have a bad review of one their locations in Orland Park, on our dining experience last week 12-7-24. We decided to have dinner last night at their Oak Lawn location and no fail, this is how Copper’s Hawk is supposed to be run. Our reservation was at 7:15pm and we got there at 7:10pm. When we checked in the hostess stated our table will be ready soon. We were seated exactly at 7:15. The food, wine and the service is how this restaurant is known for. Our server (Romeo) was very friendly, accommodating with our request and often checked on us if we need anything. Keep up the great work Copper’s Hawk Oak Lawn and will be continuing to dine at this location whenever we are in the area.More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Oak Lawn, ILPrice: Moderate• American• Oak Lawn•4.4
- CCarlaChicago / Illinois •18 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWalnut Room Holiday Brunch was fantastic. Of course the Christmas decorations are amazing. Service was very good. The wait staff professional and accommodating. The brunch lines were not long and food fresh. They served the typical breakfast foods with pastries and fresh fruit. All very good. There were complimentary photos with option to purchase others. I have to say photographer Ronit Bezalel did an amazing job capturing my husband and me. I expected the traditional stand in front of the tree type photo, but Ronit was much more creative. Don’t pass this up if offered. A great holiday breakfast.
