From the moment we sat down, the dining experience was top tier. Our waitress, Anastasia, was very attentive and knowledgeable. She gave us great wine recommendations and was very knowledgeable on all of the wines and the menu. I love how she went above and beyond in our dining experience and made our date night special. Food came out piping hot and was very delicious. Cooper’s Hawk has the best appetizers! I can’t wait to come back to this location and will only request Anastasia!

I’m never disappointed when I visit Cooper’s Hawk! Try to burger this time it was delicious. I couldn’t eat the whole thing. It was so large. The fries were delicious too. Nice variety of choices! I would definitely go back again.

We had a lovely meal for my birthday. Our food was hot and delicious and our server Gerardo was attentive and very pleasant. We both had the shrimp, crab and lobster bisque which gives you a delicious amount of seafood in every flavorful bite! I order the spaghetti and meatballs which I'm not one to ever rave about spaghetti. But I have to say this is amazing. The bolognese sauce is meaty and flavorful and tastes like it was cooked all day. Using bucatini instead of traditional spaghetti gives you a nice chewy noodle that literally melts but lets you know it's better than spaghetti! My hubby had the pretzel crusted pork chops and I have to say he barely said a word as he wolfed that meal down! I tasted it and found the broccolini to be cooked to perfection while nestled in a heap of flavorful mashed potatoes and the pork chop was beautifully crusted with amazing tenderness and flavor. The chocolate cake for dessert never disappoints with a beautiful dusting of cocoa powder on top it's moist and delicious! We really enjoyed coming to Cooper's Hawk!

Thank you Santos for your amazing service during my Thanksgiving dinner last night! He kept my wine always full and even though the restaurant was packed, he checked in on us regularly and provided the best experience! I love this location and frequent at least once a month We ordered the bruschetta, shrimp scampi, the featured surf and turf, creme brulee and chocolate cake. Everything was delicious and fresh. My boyfriend's steak and lobster were both perfectly cooked!

We were supposed to attend a Cubs game with friends but it got rained out so we decided to go for dinner to Coopers Hawk since they were Wine Club members and we heard they offer many GF items. It was fairly crowded for a Wednesday night but we found a table in the bar area. We started with a delicious red wine which was the wine of the month. A nice blend of Malbec,Merlot and Cab. We split a few appetizers..Drunken Shrimp and and Lettuce Wraps. For entrees we had Chicken Madeira,Chicken Piccata,Bleu Burger and Jambalaya. Each dish was prepared fresh and delicious. Their menu offers a wide variety of entrees and appetizers as well as a full bar and dessert menu. They are an Illinois based company with over 65 locations thruout the USA. A nice upscale casual restaurant with a little tasting of Napa! Will definitely be back!

A exceptional dining experience. The tasting room while we waited for our table is a nice touch. All of our food was prepared perfectly. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. My wife had been hyping Cooper's Hawk up for weeks for her birthday dinner. It was definitely worth the hype. We will make it a stop now every time we are in town.
