My partner and I really enjoyed our NYE dinner at Cooper’s Hawk. The ambiance was relaxed and laid‑back, but still had an elevated, upscale feel. I felt comfortable the entire time. The lighting was perfect, the noise level was low, and the tables were spaced out enough to actually enjoy a conversation.
The food was excellent, and the drink menu had a wide variety, including great mocktail options. Their chef’s menu changes often, and everything we tried was worth it. The regular menu is full of so many good choices that it’s hard not to order one of everything.
Every staff member we interacted with was kind, welcoming, and respectful. Shout‑out to Matt, he took wonderful care of us and made our NYE dinner feel special.

We went out and a story night and it was only 1.1 miles away from our hotel. The atmosphere was absolutely what we were hoping for. Their selections of wine are fast and their wine paraphernalia does unique very cool. The surf and turf that they had for chef suggestion was absolutely amazing. Overall service was spectacular.

Had a lovely evening at Cooper’s Hawk! Started with the (HEARTY) wine tasting before grabbing dinner. Got to try 8 different wines with generous pours. Definitely didn’t get cheated!
Dinner was great! Food was good and service was pretty solid. Nice ambiance in a loud but nicely lit dining room.

I visited for my first time on a Saturday night. Service was excellent, attentive but not overly so, and the food was on point. There are some great things happening in that kitchen—everything was delicious!
I had the butternut squash ravioli with scallops, shrimp and lobster which was divine and perfect to balanced. For dessert I had something similar to a banana cream pie—so good!
Thanks for a memorable meal and a fabulous first impression!

The food was very good; however, I suggest updating the portion sizes. The appetizers were massive and could feed upwards of 8 people. The main course was slightly too small, the tuna. I recommend adding another two pieces, especially for $34.

The service atmosphere and service was excellent! Thank you We got the prime churrasco grilled steak, parmesan crusted mahi-mahi, gnocchi àlla vodka and lemon-herb glazed salmon (lite fare). We were all very satisfied with our meals. Definitely recommend getting the grilled steak, medium rare. The salmon is such high-quality that the lemon salmon is excellent and doesn’t need the extra flavor. Don’t discount the lite fare menu. Just think about as good as the regular menu just less cream and sugar. Also Mahi-Mahi was cooked perfectly which is hard to find outside of Hawaii.

Wow! My partner and I had a date night here for the first time and we were so surprised and impressed by the experience. The atmosphere was wonderful, it felt very upscale but still modern and casual. We informed our waitress, Bailey, that I had celiac and she was so wonderful and attentive! I had gnocchi and he had the short rib. We were both completely in love with our meals. I wasn’t terribly impressed with my wine initially but I think that was my fault for not choosing a valid pairing with my dish. My partner loved his wine choice. The bread that came before the meal was the best gluten free bread that I’ve ever had. We also got the salted caramel creme brulee for dessert and it was delicious. My partner doesn’t even particularly enjoy caramel but he liked it. The service Bailey provided us with was so wonderful and I am so impressed, we will definitely be back!

Dined here with friends at 6:00 PM on a Sunday night, and we’re seated right away. The ambiance gives off the chain restaurant vibe, but the service and food were above expectations.
Our server was amazing, friendly, and funny. They bantered with us and were perfectly attentive.
The food was really good as well. The Jambalaya was the best I’ve had outside of NOLA. It was dense, perfectly cooked, and had a great amount of spice heat.
The wine pairing, BIN 75, was a decent Riesling blend that I enjoyed, especially given the price.
Overall for a chain spot I really enjoyed it and would go back without hesitation.

What a wonderful experience at Cooper’s Hawk in Middleton WI was tonight. Had heard the food & vibe was terrific and that was absolutely correct. Our waitress Dawn was fantastic. Very knowledgeable & pleasant- so glad we were seated in her section of the restaurant. She made excellent recommendations regarding the food selection and beverages. We have several friends that frequent Cooper’s Hawk locations and now know why they speak so highly of the experience.
