We arrived right when it opened. We had made a reservation for my friend’s birthday, which made the experience even more special. The winery offered a wonderful selection of wines and cocktails to enjoy. For starters, we shared the Sweet Calamari appetizer. I enjoyed a Pineappletini, along with a cup of Shrimp and Lobster Bisque, and for lunch dish, I had Dana’s Parmesan Chicken. The drinks were delightful, and the food was really delicious.
What truly made our first visit to Cooper’s memorable was the fantastic service. Dustin was exceptionally friendly and had a great knowledge of the menu and drinks. His suggestions were perfect, and we genuinely appreciated his warm and attentive care. Thanks so much, Dustin! We had a lovely time catching up and appreciated the outstanding service.

From reading the reviews it seems you either love this place or hate it… The in betweens are really just petty complaints… My first experience here was fabulous… Ambiance was great… Not too loud yet vibin’… Our first server was fantastic… She ended up passing us off to another server because she had to set up for a party that was coming in… No big deal… Our second server was fine but not as exuberant as the first… We were offered a complimentary taste of the house wine which was quite good… It was my wife’s birthday so we had celebratory cocktails… I tried the strawberry mule (great ginger beer flavor) not served in a copper mug which was a bit surprising… My wife had the pineapple martini which comes garnished with a chunk of pineapple… Could’ve been a little stronger for a tini but still tasty!!! (of course I tried it)… We started with the sweet chili calamari and the Thai lettuce wraps… Both top notch… They tempura the calamari which is the first time I’ve had it that way and it was bomb along with the sweet chili sauce…very tender pieces and a good portion size for $20…the lettuce wraps honestly could be a main course dish… They do it sort of charcuterie style… You add all the ingredients to the lettuce wrap as you see fit giving many different combinations and flavor pairings… Three different sauces… Well flavored chicken… Slaw… Cucumber salad and crunchys… Honestly we were getting full from the appetizers so we had them wrapped to take home… Didn’t want to completely spoil our dinner…my wife did the skirt steak and I had the mahi mahi… She was very pleased with the flavors however I didn’t try hers since I was getting full… The mahi mahi was prepared perfect on top of a bed of Mary’s potatoes and capers along with some perfectly roasted broccoli… I ate every bite because it all married so well I just couldn’t stop… Best piece of fish I’ve had since our anniversary in Jamaica!!! I could also go off on the yummy little pretzel roll we had but I digress… Back to the dinner and drinks… Sizes were spot on for the price… Drinks were well made but slightly over priced (as always in Illinois)… Appetizers were phenomenal and we were too full for dessert… Servers were attentive but not pushy and the whole wine thing is cool and will be explored more at a later date… The decor is pleasing to the eye and the food is pleasing to the pallet… I give it an 8.9/10…now it’s the true test of any good experience… Can they replicate… Consistency is the difference between frequenting an establishment or just putting it in the rotation. Peace out foodies!!!

Extraordinary is a word I would use in this case, wonderful staff with amazing knowledge of their products. Absolutely brilliant establishment with tasteful decor, complimenting it’s surroundings and finally, the food I tasted in the restaurant was by far the best I’ve had so far in America..if you live near or far, make the effort to treat yourself here, you won’t be disappointed.

Food was amazing. My baby loved it so much she was doing somersaults in my stomach. I had the pretzel crusted pork chop. I highly recommend getting it. For desert, we had the crème brûlée. IT WAS THE BEST CRÈME BRÛLÉE IVE EVER HAD

Enjoyed my husband BDAY DINNER. Host Courtney was excellent and bar staff was great. But please reserve before arrival this place has some of the best food and wine which also means a nice wait list. This is a 10/10 for me I will be back.

We made reservations for a party of eight for brunch. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, they offered us a splash of wine or a non-alcoholic beverage, which was such a nice touch and a great way to start the experience.
The staff member helping us was very knowledgeable about the drink menu, and I really enjoyed what I ordered. Once we were seated, the service was good and attentive.
I ordered the “Eggs Any Way,” and it tasted like a simple, at-home style meal. It was good, but fairly basic. I think adding a few more breakfast items could really elevate the menu. Currently, there’s only one vegetarian option, the “Desert Breakfast.” Something like an Eggs Benedict (or a few more creative brunch options) would be a great addition.
One small tip: if you need ketchup, it comes in a small single-serving bowl rather than a bottle, so you may want to order extra upfront to save yourself time.
Overall, a pleasant brunch experience with thoughtful service and room for a little menu expansion.

Always delicious here. Service was very good, outside dining was nice, except for the bugs and traffic noise. The Meatball appetizer was AWESOME and the chicken lemon piccata was very tasty!

Reservations are needed for the weekend but we were almost immediately upon arrival. Great dinner menu including appetizers and main entrees. Very nice selection of wines from many regions. Highly recommended

Update! Coopers Hawk reached out sincerely apologizing for the below
experience and provided some incentives to try again. We did and this time we had a truly fantastic redo of our 20th anniversary dinner. We ordered the Thai lettuce wraps which were made with very fresh ingredients. My wife ordered the cheese burger and myself the filet with wasabi butter potatoes, both were absolutely delicious and special. Matt was a fantastic server that provided terrific high end hospitality. Thank you Coopers Hawk for restoring our faith in your restaurants and the care you put in to ensure every meal is memorable.
Original review: Overall an average/slightly disappointing experience. Celebrating our 20th anniversary and was hoping for a great rare date night out without kids. On the plus side the expresso martini my wife ordered was very good as was the service and atmosphere. The complimentary white wine flutes for our anniversary was also very nice. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. My wife ordered the chicken risotto and it was just a soupy chewy mush. I ordered the surf and turf with churasco steak and scallop gratin. The steak was underdone with no char and the gratin was just not very good. Maybe we didn’t order the right things and the day was off though just hoping for more, especially for a special night. Will hesitate to visit again.

The food was delicious. The service was great. The lighting and open dining area was spacious and inviting. We got multiple appetizers to share with the table. My favorite was the lettuce wraps, the sauces were divine. Our entrees were a hit around the whole table.
