The food and drinks were very tasty, service was good and I appreciate all the vegetarian options that were available! It was just my partner and I and we got a nice little table near the window, which we both enjoyed! It was our first time and will definitely be back. I got the Yule cocktail and mushroom sammy, he got fish and chips and a sour. A little bit expensive (about $70 before tip in total), but worth it for the quality and experience.

Loved everything was wonderful! However we were sat at a tiny table in corner by window and we could not move our legs. Very uncomfortable. That table looks right at the table 3 feet away. Felt like I was apart of their conversation. I am sure they felt like they were being spied on.

Coopers Hawk was the perfect place for our annual Best Friends Christmas Happy Hour. Attentive service from all staff members who helped us, great food and beverage selections, and terrific atmosphere. Brennan took great care of us. He is very knowledgeable about the wine and the menu, and checked on us often. Definitely going back to Coopers Hawk!
