    Brought my daughter here for her 20th bday. I use to come to this location a lot with her dad, but since being separated I had not been to this one in a long time. It’s still so very clean, the service is still friendly…I wouldn’t say fast because as soon as it started filling up, our server would disappear when we needed her. Nothing against her, she was very kind and helpful. Just maybe help your wait staff out a bit so that they can get to the tables a bit faster. The food was spot on as usual and the wine is great. I will be back because it is a nice spot to just get some wine and enjoy the atmosphere. Lighting is low and restrooms were clean. It is kid friendly. Parking is a little difficult to find. Street parking and you have to pay to park. Not much, I only paid $4 for an hour and 30 mins.

    Excellent, the waitress was nice, food was flavorful, and fresh. Quite and relaxed atmosphere. The new Pineapple & Blood Orange Sangria was one of the best wines I have tasted in awhile... Soo Good Topped with a Sliced Pineapple. Today I did the wine tasting beside them being short staffed..Good.

    The menu is small to begin with so your options are limited. This night we went to celebrate my moms 70th birthday and it was a complete disaster. We waited longer than 40 minutes for our food that we begin to eat the birthday cake that we brought with us. When the food came the hamburger was over salted, the spaghetti was puffed like it had steroids in it, the spaghetti came out cold although they told us the order was delayed due to the spaghetti. Let talk about the $50 steak. I will just post the picture and you can take it from there. Lol worst dinning experience ever and ruin my moms birthday dinner.

    I’ve always wanted to eat here cus I’ve heard good things and I know it’s very popular in general. I think my standards were high. I’ve had better steak at other places so I was not impressed here. Not much on the menu empresses me. Again I was expecting more idk. The drunken shrimp was a nicely flavored appetizer. I think I’d order pick up just for the shrimp and dessert. The s’more was delicious very rich. The service was good and friendly.

    I visit this location 3 times a week, but lately the Kitchen sends out the worst food , Burned or missing the sauces dry chicken etc. When dinning out you expect an experience not excuses on why the food quality is poor. The servers are fantastic at this location- Foxy and Cody they deserve 5 STARS ⭐️ Management should focus on quality coming out of the kitchen. My lobster 🦞 came out burnt and the second dish came out COLD with no butter and no knife, when I received the butter it was not melted and it was cold as well . Don’t loose good customers!! We have 4 wine club memberships all 4 memberships are 2 bottles. I don’t think the Corporate office would like to loose us as a member.

    Amazing customer service. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly! My husband and I learned more about wine with the waiter. And the food was delicious. I recommend it for special occasions or even a chill time spent with friends.

    Cooper's Hawk is always a good time. Seems like their menu got a little smaller since the Pandemic...but what's there is still delicious. Try em out. The wine club is awesome too. I will try to remember to continue to add more pics to this review. I go here often.

    My mahi-mahi in rice and coconut curry sauce was terribly dry. Didn’t want to mention anymore as our server and helper staff were incredibly busy and appeared short staffed. Others loved the Pinot Gris bottles of vino while I had a 5 star Negroni x2 :) Overall the experience was a good one because the appetizers and desserts were comparable. Only other that needs addressing is the venue… the restaurant seems newly constructed enough but the maintenance especially the tiled flooring from the reception area to the far ends, needed upkeep! The floors were so slippery and slick that I felt I had to step so carefully because it just was “ slickery “… We also had elderly people with us and they had to be even more careful! They probably need to power wash, super soap and rinse the entire venue, if not someone is bound to slip, fall, break a hip or worse.

    This is a great place to have lunch or dinner. Their food is just delicious, quality Fromm the appetizers, follow for the main course, and complementing with a delicious dessert along with a delicious coffee. Couple times, service wasn’t that good. Took long time to get our drinks and food.

    We went after a Candlelight Concert. Our reservation was scheduled for 9 p.m., and we ended up leaving earlier than expected. When we went in, they told us they could move our reservation to 7:45 p.m. instead, and we greatly appreciated it. We never received bread because, per the server, it's taking too long to cook, but we had great appetizers. I was craving the drunken shrimp, but it was all out. The dumplings were mid, but the Ponzu sauce was so good. I ordered the shrimp scampi. It was light and easy to go down, with not much parmesan on it, and the pasta itself was watered down, but it had great seasoning. And then, for dessert, I had Reese's cookie; it was a tad overwhelming for me because of the saltiness but overall soft in the middle and hard on the outside. (It is not crunchy, lol. You had to stab the cookie with the spoon to make a divot.) I and I enjoyed their gossiping and enjoying the wine. Thank you 💕

    I may be biased as wine club member. But I absolutely love the service and food every time I come into the winery. The appetizers, deserts, food and wine tasting are always a treat.

    Anahi was our main server. She was wonderful. She provided us with wonderful recommendations and some of the best service we have had. She was pleasant to have serve us. Anahi provided a great balance between service and letting us enjoy our celebration together. Dyamond was also a serve in our area. He went above and beyond to take our picture at our table since he saw us taking some selfies for our anniversary! Overall the service was some of the best. 10/10. The food was also quite good. The orderly time and the fresh flavors blended extremely well with the other ingredients. Just a tad smaller scoop of ice cream for the chocolate cake but that’s just not picking :) and you have to pay for parking. :(

    I celebrated my daughter's birthday today. I took her and her best friend to Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant in Oak Park. We had a great time! The food and drinks were excellent! All the staff were very kind and accommodating. We all enjoyed ourselves!

    Cooper's Hawk Winery provided our group a midday tasting. What better way to spend Halloween than with wine, food and friends. The tasting room offered two different wine tasting, eight pours of either Varietal or Sweet. The attendants were outstanding, however did not really know the wine aside from reading off the menu. The more we drank the hungrier we became. The tasting room has some rules regarding no food, however we were told we could order, munch and drink at the bar. In trying to enjoy ourselves, we kept the tasting going in groups, however the attendees were told they couldn't serve us from management. When asked the floor manager said it's too hard to keep track of whose drinking once we left the tasting. Fair statement and we asked if we could get the remaining pours sent to the bar... a no go with five more to go. We had ordered a round of appetizers and closed out what could have been a much larger spend as we would have stayed for more. This would have been a 3 star, save for the wonderful bar staff, food and tasting room attendants.

    My food was good I had Ginger Soy Salmon. The people I was with all had small issues with their food. It was a long night. I did have to ask for a refill of my Coke, but the waiter gave me a good bit of limes. That made me happy.

    We went here for my friend's birthday and it was my first time coming to this place. When we were seated, our waiter came to ask us for any drinks to get us started and we told him we wanted to do wine tasting. He told us to hold on a second and walked off. He went to talk to a coworker and came back 5 minutes later. Then he took our wine choices. Proceeding the night, he wasn't too attentive of us and when he took our entree order, we had to repeat it three times because 2 of those times he was looking at other waiters and customers. So after the third time, he finally got our order right and went to put it in. Keep in mind it was only 2 of us and we ordered very simple entrees. When we were done he asked for any desserts and I told him we were celebrating a birthday and if the restaurant did anything for birthdays. He looked at my friend (birthday girl) and said no. That I had to buy a dessert and the restaurant doesn't offer it. I was honestly shocked on the way he said it and his only solution was for it to be bought. I've worked at restaurants before and instead of saying no, we usually just got a manager and the manager would decide to approve something or not. He didn't even offer to talk to a manager. So then I just asked for the check. Another server came by and asked if we were okay and I asked him about birthday desserts. This nice, young man said that the restaurant DID do birthday desserts and that he would work something out. He came back very quickly with a birthday dish and was very nice and attentive of us afterwards. Definitely made the night more better for us than our original waiter.

    Very clean, great customer service, staff are knowledgeable about their company food/ winery products. The dishes were amazingly good and flavorful. Well presented. For the prime churrasco grilled steak was tasty and juicy; I ordered well done FYI. Salmon dish was tender and well seasoned especially with the gravy on top. Loved the mashed potatoes and roasted veggies.

    Thank you Rebecca for a great dining experience!! Other than the fries being a little dry, everything was delicious. Large portions even for lunch.

  • 2/5 Anush F. 11 months ago on Google
    Could not understand the hype. The confusion wasn’t as bad as the chef had though for what was passed to be chimichurri. The prawns wrapped in bacon and the negroni were average. But everything else was below. I do feel bad anytime I’ve got to put a low review, but I hope that this place picks up their food game.

    Was just there today. I took my girlfriend for her birthday. The food and the wine was great but the service was bad. Not once did the waiter came to ask if everything was ok. If we needed anything We literally had to get her attention by saying excuse me 4 or 5 times

  • 5/5 Stefanie 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious meal! Came for a set dinner menu, which included Tortilla Soup, Cobb Salad, Filet Mignon, and Key Lime Pie. I would order everything again. It was perfect. This place is under rated.

  • 5/5 Nathaniel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff is very friendly. Server explained the wine to help pick for our samples before ordering a bottle. The food is very flavorful, very good. I will be back.

    We just had a baby and decided to stop by when we were discharged from the hospital nearby. Brian, the manager, took such amazing care of us as soon as we walked through the door accommodating our bulky stroller in the restaurant along with checking in on us as new parents. We had Krystal as our waitress and she was equally as phenomenal and so incredibly caring. We will definitely be back to this location and highly recommend this location! Thank you so much!

    Met with friends for our 30th High School Reunion and even with a large party of folks, they were able to accommodate all dietary needs, even significant food allergies like mine (wheat, corn, dairy, eggs). The staff were super friendly and helpful and I loved the Holiday swag they had for sale!

I hope to come again🫶🏽

    Our time here for a impromptu date night was beautiful. We were added to the wait list which was 30-40 minutes on a Friday night (not bad). While we waited, Ryan Sechrest took care of our wine tasting and helped us sign up for the Sweet Club wine membership. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and prompt with his service while making recommendations that fit our tastes perfectly. Once we were seated our server was also prompt helping us and also recommended the Chicken Piccata. It was amazing! We also had Chicken pot stickers. Everything was warm, flavorful and definitely worth a repeated visit. This was my first time here so I'll definitely make my way back.

    We had such a great time here. The food was great from the wedge, drunken shrimp, pot stickers, blue cheese burger, steak, filet, and the desserts! Alexis was a gem, the best waitress! Thank you so much for a great family dinner!
