    Took my daughter out for her birthday. This would have been a 5 star for me but I guess the kitchen was backed up. 8:00 PM reservations got right in, ordered drinks and appetizers by 8:10, didn’t get appetizers until 8:55. Food arrived 9:20. Server was friendly but you could tell she was overwhelmed, food was excellent, which I guess is what matters in the end……. Clearly staffing issues and more concerned about packing tables then getting the food out. It is also a winery… maybe it’s there normal practice to delay the food to get you to drink more. I’m here for the service and food…..

    Food was amazing. Setting was magnificent. They were out of flat bread though. Provided good wine. Service could be a little more attentive.

    So I haven't visited Cooper's Hawk in a while, I've been missing out. I don't remember the food being this good. We started with a tasting (sweet wine), even though didn't enjoy all the options I loved two of them. We then went and had lunch, which was delicious. We also tried the sparkling flight the almond was delicious. James took great care of us at the tasting and Swan was our waitress. You can't eat at the tasting so we grabbed a strawberry truffle (tasted like strawberry ice cream) to take to our table. Overall great service and food. No mask required, plenty of parking!!

    Stopped by here today, on Memorial Day. There is plenty of parking, outdoor seating and indoor dining tables and booths aplenty. It’s a very nice tastefully decorated restaurant that. offers wine tasting. And has a large selection of wine in the front of the restaurant including gourmet desserts. Reservations may be necessary here during busy times. The food here is above average and a nice place for a date. Dress nice, but there is no dress code. We had a filet mignon with asparagus and the pretzel crusted pork chops with mashed potatoes and broccolini. For appetizers, we got the drunken shrimp, which is bacon, wrapped shrimp and crispy brussels sprouts. The appetizers were great and so was the meal. The pork chops could’ve somehow been better but they were good too. We enjoyed ourselves here immensely and will definitely return. 170.00 with tip

    The Chefs Special was delicious! The lobster, scallops, shrimp paired with butternut squash ravioli & sweet creamy sauce was savvy. This dish is a must have along with a glass of sweet red 🍷.

    Had a fabulous evening at COOPERS HAWK on 96th Street in Indianapolis. My appetizer, OVER THE BORDER egg rolls came with 3 dunking sauces. The egg rolls come cut in half, I recommend pouring a little bit of each sauce onto the egg roll😍😋 I chose the 3 MEDALLIONS as my main meal. They were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection.

    I had an incredible dining experience at Cooper's Hawk! The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. Justin, our server, went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. His attentive service and recommendations enhanced the evening. I can't wait to return to Cooper's Hawk for another outstanding meal and exceptional service from Justin!

    This was a great place for lunch! My wife had the Chicken Madeira and it was delicious. Great mushroom flavor and great mashed potatoes. I have the Blue Cheese burger and it was incredible. I will tell you the best part…the staff. Our hostess was so friendly and made us feel at home. Our waitress Katherine was awesome. So friendly, helpful, and took care of us. I have a fish allergy and she discreetly took care of me. The chef even came by and spoke to us! That’s an awesome place there. Highly recommended.

    If you are looking for a place to have a great date night this is the place! The food was amazing. They had a wonderful selection of cuisine to fit any mood. They let you sample any wine you want even if it's multiple samples! If wine isn't your thing though, their cocktail selection is great! They use top shelf liquor and still manage to have reasonable cocktail prices. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. The staff is so helpful when it comes to figuring out what you want to drink and eat. I can't wait to go back and try even more of what they have to offer. I also have a friend who eats here and she says the wine club is absolutely worth it if you live in the area!! You would be missing out if you didn't come here!

    Everything was amazing! This was our first time here. Our sever brought us some very fresh warm pretzel bread, which we devoured it was so good! I got a steak with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was cooked perfectly. My sister got the fillet medallions and she loved them. We also got the Reese cookie for dessert it was fantastic as well. Our server I believe his name was Rolundo was awesome too! Very friendly and provided wonderful service.

    While in town visiting family, we visited Cooper’s Hawk. We were not disappointed! The ambiance, drinks, and food were incredible! The Mahi Mahi was outstanding! The grilled tenderloin medallions was also very good. The risotto was okay…not much taste. Overall, we had a wonderful evening and our server was phenomenal. We will be back.

    For the overall experience, I’ll give it four stars. I like that they offer wine simpling for everyone at the table. Also, I like the ability to create a flight of wines that you would like to try. The appetizers were good. However, my vegetables that came with my meal was burnt. The portion of the steak I was an absolute joke. It was very thin. I did try the desert which is not a picture. The desert was very delicious. The flavors of the food wasn’t what I expected. However, the dessert and wine made up for it slack.

    We have been a repeat customer for Cooper’s Hawk for a few years. The food is always amazing. But, more than that, the staff really knows the menu, how the food is prepared and of course, their wines. We had the Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chop and the Gnocchi Carbonara for our meal. Both were perfect. Always our go-to for a great meal.

    The first thing I noticed when I walked into the restaurant was the crowd and noise. The place was packed with prom goers. I had a 7 o’clock reservation but had to wait 22 minutes for my party to be seated. We ordered drinks and for appetizers the egg rolls and bruschetta. Surprisingly, both were served in a fair amount of time and they were delectable. For dinner, I ordered the pistachio crusted grouper. Two people in my party ordered the parmigiana chicken and one ordered the salmon. We all agreed the food was delicious and well seasoned, except for the asparagus. It was way overcooked and mushy, but the Asian slaw and Brussels sprouts were definitively the highlights of the meal. The Brussels were crispy and had an airiness about them and the Asian Thai favors paired well with the egg rolls and Salmon. For dessert, I received complimentary a white and chocolate candy truffles. We ordered the s’mores’ and chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream. They were absolutely delicious.

    The atmosphere is cozy, warm, and fun. Good service. Food, DELICIOUS! I love the chocolate cake for dessert. Great quality wine. You'll enjoy it.

    Had an a great night wine tasting and having quick bites. From our wine tasting with Miles to check out was a five star experience. The lobster and crab bisque phenomenal! The gnocchi carbonara is always a fave. And the bartender was in their bag with the strawberry lemon drop martini. The membership is so worth it along with superb service!!

    CH is my go-to for a fun night out for a fabulous meal at a reasonable price! We just went for our anniversary. The food was spot on for presentation and flavor. Did not disappoint! The only reason I gave the service a 4 was that the waiter did not acknowledge our anniversary, and it was clearly written on our reservation card. Love Coopers Hawk ❤️

  • 5/5 Jeremy H. 9 months ago on Google
    I really like the food here and the drinks are exceptional too. The Drunken Shrimp appetizer is top-notch and highly recommended! If you get this, save me one! This restaurant/pour room is more on the upscale side of places but not so much as you'd feel uncomfortable in shorts and a button up shirt. Service has been a mixed bag. Thankfully, it's mostly been good and hope you get one of the more attentive servers.

    I celebrated my 25th birthday at Cooper’s Hawk recently and it was the perfect spot for it! Lauren was our server and she was immaculate. Very attentive and was able to manage the large group. We were greeted at the front door and our reservation was on time. We ordered Lettuce Wraps, Bruschetta and Egg Rolls for the entire table and the appetizers in my opinion were the best. Our margaritas were delicious! For my entree I ordered a filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My steak was undercooked but overall everything was delicious. I will definitely be back and requesting Lauren as our server!

    It's always a good time when I get a chance to go to Cooper's Hawk which is typically just on special occasions. Today was a special occasion so my honey and I took To the Hawk. I this experience was going to be worth my money so we went all out. The appetizers were Southwest egg rolls, potsticker, brussel sprouts which were absolutely amazing and I am going to figure out a way to make them at home with the drizzle. Let me backup, of course they start you out with a lovely loaf of bread. We also had a wine flight, and with all of this food by way of the appetizers, by the time it was time to order our main course we were already spend so we went light, I have tacos with tortilla soup, the avocados were not ripe and they really could have just left it off TBH, my honey had fish and chips. Our waitress was amazing, voice a little Edith Bunker-ish, but she was very professional and attentive.

    Arranged a bridal shower here for my sister. Service was wonderful from start to finish. Cassandra was our server and I don’t think anyone could’ve been better. She was absolutely amazing! The area that we were sat in was perfect and had plenty of space for our large party. The food was pretty good, but not liked by all, and Cassandra took care of it right away. The bride to be was pleased and so were the guests. If you go to this location ask for Cassandra. You won’t be disappointed.

  • 4/5 Karen D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is always good. The blackened ahi tuna and the gnocchi carbonara are delicious entrees! The egg roll appetizer is really good (8 pieces with three very flavorful sauces.) The desserts are good but not necessarily fantastic. I think Cooper's Hawk has the best Sangria (I love the red but another person liked the peach one.) The service is not the best. It's slow, or the server isn't attentive or isn't that knowledgeable about the items on the menu. The atmosphere is usually good. A bit noisy at times, but overall a fun place to dine.

    Outstanding and elegant, make reservations but please be patient. Great things come with time. Showed up at 8pm with a reservation and walk in people had a 2 hour wait. Was seated and got the best server Ryan. His dry since of humor is priceless and had the right thing to say at the right time. He is there Friday and Saturday night and runs the bar area on Sunday. We both got salads which I am telling you is a meal upon itself. We shared the ganache pasta and chicken with peas and it was perfect. We both got a glass of wine the Moscato white was perfect with the meal. I got the port which is small but actually just right. We walked away happy to have had a great experience. Two salads one entree two glasses of wine and the bill was $80. Perfect.. thank you

    Wonderful night dining at Cooper's Hawk. Everything was perfect from the cocktails to dessert. Service was on point, always there when needed but gave us space when not needed.

  • 5/5 Tana S. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff is amazing and service is exquisite! I enjoy this experience every time and tonight I got the special treat of meeting the Mgr Swan to thank her for all the good experiences. Recommend hands down for best food quality, good service, and environment.

  • 4/5 Tim Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Our experience might differ from many because we arrived without a reservation and with a 45 minute wait we were given the option of sitting at the bar for dinner at a small tall table. Tables in the bar are first-come, first served and you just seat yourself. We didn't want to wait, so we took them up on that offer. Except for the small table which understandably ended up being crowded with the large plates, the it worked as a seating area for us and well worth the time savings. The pretzel bread appetizer was fine, and while I ordered hibiscus iced tea, others ordered mixed drinks and wine. Since they have their own wine brand, there's a lot of options and one thing that might help some is that they have a suggested wine pair for their entrees listed on their menu. The plates were fairly large and quite tasty, we all got either chicken picatta or parmesan-crusted chicken. The picatta was balanced and not too salty with a nice sauce. The parmesan-crusted chicken seemed a little more breaded than I expected but still very good. Our waiter was funny and helpful. The service was good, although I would say a bit slow in the bar area for a full dinner service. We didn't mind as we were using the time to visit. Overall, this was a good first visit and it will need fun to come back.

    Upscale meets underwhelmingly average. Fortunately, we ate on the patio. The smokers standing next to the patio were a better alternative to the fire alarm that intermittently went off for the first half of our meal. Patio overlooks an abandoned pub that has fallen into disrepair. The atmosphere at this location is far less than desirable. Some things are beyond their control, failure to maintain the alarm system reflects inept management. Server was friendly enough and reasonably attentive. Rather casual compared with other restaurants they are trying to position themselves against. Service time was a bit slow, server volunteered they had a banquet event and were struggling to keep up. Nonetheless, the wait for food was not necessarily unreasonable. Food was flavorful and perfectly prepared, albeit a little more liquid on the plate than I prefer. The third star of this rating is due to the quality of the food itself. Wine is their focus and alleged difference. The wine was ok, not spectacular. The two samples of wine felt more like a gimmick. Overall I would describe this restaurant as more mediocre than stellar. You could eat here, but given the number of exceptional alternatives, why would you?

    Wonderful experience start to finish. The friendly service was super attentive, helping us feel welcome and relaxed, and offering helpful guidance in our selections. The appetizers were delicious, and a perfect start to a fabulous feast. We enjoyed the drunken shrimp, scallops, fillet mignon, among other delicacies. The desserts were well complimented by the house "ice wine", a treat not too be missed. Thank you Barb, and the team at Coopers, for creating memorable moments for my wife's 40th birthday!

  • 3/5 Matthew W. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was amazing. I had the chef special salmon and it was cooked perfectly. The potatoes we also good. My wife had the Parmesan crusted chicken and it was also good. Our service in the other hand was not good. Our waiter was very slow and and not attentive. Other guests around us were getting their orders, but ours was very slow to come. Waiting 10 minutes after the table was cleared for our check. We will be back, but will hopefully have a better server.

  • 5/5 Megan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Greatly enjoyed taking my mother to her birthday lunch here. Our server, Kelsey, was excellent. She had great suggestions and helped really make the meal memorable. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto and enjoyed it very much. My mother and husband both had the filets which were cooked exactly right. I also greatly enjoyed the Master's flight for the month, which ear focused on jammy zinfandels and was a delight. I would definitely visit again, especially for a special day.
