The food is great. Probably the best in the Reston Town Center. It’s a little noisy but no more than most. Their Old Fashion is really good.

Our server was great and we love the brunch buffet here on the weekend! It’s very good with lots of options. The price is a little high but fair if you plan to indulge.

We've been to Cooper's Hawk a few times, especially the one in Ashburn because it's closer to home. Unfortunately, they didn't have anything available when we wanted to go, but that's not the point. Every time we've been to either location, the experience has been outstanding! Everything is delicious, from the appetizers to the main course, dessert, and drinks. I love the passion fruit sangria! We took our family who came to visit from Arizona, and I was surprised when they told us they have a Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant there too! They really enjoyed their food and drinks. This place never disappoints, and for a Wednesday, it was packed! It was a little too loud to have a conversation, but it was still amazing! #CoopersHawk #Ashburn #DeliciousFood #GreatDrinks #FamilyFriendly #PackedWednesday

Drunken Ribeye special was not very tasty. Didn’t experience any of the beer marinade or seasonings. Steak just tasted like steak. Won’t get that if I go again.
