The food and drinks were excellent! My wife and I aren't really wine drinkers but, their cocktails are amazing! They make a killer old fashioned. Despite having table reservations, it took a little while to be seated. They were pretty slammed, so I understand. Our server, Jasmine, was incredible. Super attentive and a great personality. Can't wait to go back!

Although I am not a professional connoisseur I can certainly distinguish when I am dining in a restaurant that prides itself on elegance and presentation. Lots of elegance at Cooper’s Hawk and the attention by our host (Rachel) was more than satisfactory. My brother in law and sister are members of the wine club so the first hand experience of dining here guaranteed no surprises as to the good quality of service and cuisine. The six of us had such a wonderful dining experience that I purchased the decanter as a birthday gift for my sister and brother in law. Shout out to Chief Paul as my plate looked like it was just washed after my meal. If I wasn’t leaving Florida for home tomorrow I would join the wine club and return immediately for another meal. Just a great location and with the right amount of elegance to maintain a loyal base of customers. The marketing strategy works.

Amazing food and amazing service!!! My wife has Celiac and their gluten free menu is huge AND they actually care that it is an allergy and take it seriously! The gluten free bread is great!!!! You HAVE to try the lobster, shrimp and clam bisque!!!!! Just do it! Also their prices are not outrageous which is a bonus!

Highly recommend their Brunch and Bubbles breakfast on the weekend!! The salmon toast was delicious as well as the boozy iced coffee! You also cannot beat their 5 mimosas!

Fun evening at Cooper’s Hawk Winery! We started early with a tasting with the option for a sweet, vintage, or Lux flight. Sweets are not my jam but the last pour was some dessert wine that was very tasty. Each flight was 8 pours! Whites, reds and bubbles were SO good! I can honestly say I enjoyed every poor. My only complaint would be the system for which they did tastings. They have a long bar that you pretty much have to cram your way into to get served while in the middle of a shopping area and a little more organization between people having a class and people having flights May serve as a more pleasant environment. We also had dinner reservations and had some delicious entrees. The service was solid and tentative, restaurant was clean and well represented. An excellent place for steak pasta, whatever you like!

When visiting, I found this estabishment to be cozy and quaint with attractive ambient lighting I considered to be both inviting and aesthetically attractive. The service was superb and the food was served in a timely manner. I thoroughly enjoyed the wine they served wich paired well with the food.

Service was polite and professional. Desserts were delicious. My gnocchi carbonara was great. Piccata was okay. Decent lunch specials. The establishment is nice and big. You are offered wine while you wait for your table. Great experience overall.

First time at this location, I have to say I was very impressed by everything inside very clean very well kept very organized. The service was exceptional, extremely efficient front of house and back of house. LaWren stopped by and did a touch at the table. She was very kind and considerate. I’m upset. I can’t remember the name of our server, but she was exceptional as well so overall very satisfied. It was actually quieter than I expected even though the place was completely packed. We will definitely return to try some more of the appetizers and entrees. I was so stuffed I couldn’t try some of the desserts, which sounded amazing.
