    Our dinner was absolutely delicious and our waiter Kyle was always available and respectful. We had the mushroom flatbread which is always our go-to appetizer and lobster bisque, which is also delicious. We all had different entrees. I had the salmon dish and it was amazing, as always. My husband had the scallops with risotto which were cooked beautifully. Everything was very good. We will definitely be back after the holidays.

    We visit Cooper’s Hawk often and always have a great experience. On this visit nothing has changed. Our wine came out quickly, appetizers were hot and delivered before the meal as expected. My husband had the pork chop and grouper from the “surf and turf” selection. He thought they were both delicious and served hot. I had my usual, soy salmon and was not disappointed. We had seen some of the reviews from a few days ago and expected delays…. Not so. Considering the busy time of year, Cooper’s Hawk has their act together.
