Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants

Went here last night with a close group of girlfriends that haven’t gotten together in awhile. Needless to say we were loud and probably obnoxious. However, the staff at CH was extremely accommodating. We sat down at 7 and didn’t order food until about 9pm and we never once felt rushed. In fact, the place apparently closed at 10:30 and I don’t think I walked out until after 11. I really liked that we weren’t rushed out.
At one point, a server (not ours) accidentally spilled water all over my friends purse. The manager came over and offered to have it dry cleaned for her!!! Who does that?! I really think the management here is on point and I’m really impressed.
As for my previous review, which for some reason it won’t let me edit… The issue was handled promptly and taken care of by a manager named Justin. He spoke to me on the phone about my problem and we discussed ways they can improve on their service.
I’m very proud of CH and I can’t wait to come back!!!

I have been a Cooper’s hawk loyal customer for years now, a wine club member too. However, I recently ordered takeout from a delivery service paying an extra $ 5 for the delivery, that’s how bad I wanted some Cooper’s hawk. I received my order, a chicken salad and a blue cheese burger for a total of $ 43 when all was said n done. Well my salad had no chicken and my fries had seasoning on them which I can not eat on my diet. Pretty much half of my meal was messed up. Called the restaurant and manager Eric said I would receive an appetizer card in the mail for my troubles-​after he looks into the situation. Whatever, save your card. Cancel my wine club, I am done.

I do love the wine and food butttt the problem is they are TOO popular. Wednesday night at 8:30 and it‘s an hour and a half wait for a table. Friday night asked for reservation for 9 and nothing for TWO hours! Thats nuts !!. buh bye !!
Too many excellent area restaurants along the way for me to wait an hour and a half or two

Love Cooper’s Hawk so much we joined their wine club. We always have great service here and the food is always great. The only downside that drives me crazy is that when you walk in, you walk into the wine tasting area which is always jam packed and you have to push your way to the dining area. Perhaps the wine tasting area would have been better in a separate area. Wonderful gluten free menu for those that cannot have gluten.

Great lunch option at Brookfield Square. All the food was amazing and the mimosas were mad good. It’s not terribly loud in the dining area, which is nice if you’re trying to chat with others (was there with my grandma). Our waitress was super attentive and sweet.

Love the appetizers! Service is ok. Dinner was average.
Great location!

First timer, the atmosphere is nice, but out bartender Ann’s was not very accomondating. She kind of over looked us, standing right in front of her

I came to this Cooper’s Hawk for a work meeting. The event space was adequate, however, there was no way to show a electronic presentation in the room we were in, so we were forced to use large poster boards.
The service was not the best. We were a medium sized group (about 20 people) and we were deserted for most of the meal. Everyone had to order all their drinks quickly all at once, for fear of never being asked again.
There were two food options for our group, a meat or a chicken. I ordered the Dana’s Parmesan-​Crusted Chicken. The chicken was good, but it’s definitely nothing I would order again. It was served with green beans and a rich potato dish.
The wine was tasty, but much of it was too sweet for me to be tempted to buy a bottle on my way out.
All in all, there was really nothing special to bring me back and there were some disappointing parts (likely due to being part of a larger group).

I’ve been to several locations, and this is by far my favorite Cooper’s Hawk. The wait staff is always friendly, and the interior is the nicest of all their locations. They have a lovely private room you can rent for events that is decorated with wine barrels, and floor to ceiling glass windows. You can’t go wrong if you order one of the following:
— roasted vegetable goat cheese flatbread
–chicken madeira
–cilantro ranch chicken sandwich
–bbq ranch chicken salad
–blackened bleu steak salad (my personal fav! tangy vinaigrette balanced out with feta cheese and bleu cheese dressing)
You really can’t go wrong with any of their wines either. For a small price you can sample some wines as you wait for your table, or afterwards to pick out a bottle to bring home with you. As a wine club member, the one bottle a month membership is really worth the price (especially if you plan on sharing the membership with someone). I split it with my fiancé and for $ 9 a month per person, you usually get a bottle that costs around $ 30 regularly. They also have food promotions and other specials available to members monthly.

Our waiter Tom was awesome he did everything to make a perfect lunch. I do have to say he has been one of the best waiters I’ve had in months. The wine is always good and my salad was very nice.

I’m not a big wine drinker, but I was impressed with their incredibly large selection of wine (by the glass, flight, and/​or bottle) and their menu for many tastes. I came here with my family to celebrate a birthday for lunch. I was happy that they seemed to know how to accommodate a group because they had options ready to present for wines for the table and appetizers that are easy to share. We ordered all of the above and then ordered off-​menu for our individual entrees.
The menu is large and has meat entrees, burgers, sandwiches, seafood — something for every eater. I enjoyed my veggie burger since you can get ANY of their burgers subbed with a house-​made veggie patty. I enjoyed my spicy burger with an egg on top of my veggie patty. Yum. The fried jalapeño pieces were delish and the burger really was spicy, which was excellent. Others in my group seemed to really enjoy the food that they got so everyone was happy. All in all, a satisfying dining experience.
The servers are happy to make recommendations for wines to try, wines that pair well with certain menu items, etc. There’s also cheese and charcuterie boards for those who are just interested in a light meal with their wine flight. Parking can be a bit tricky to find since this Cooper’s Hawk is in the downtown Burr Ridge shopping center area. There’s some angled parking right out front but larger lots are further down the road.

Yummmm! I love all Coopers but this location was pretty great. If you’re a wine lover the wine club is a must. It’s about 20.00 a month and you get a free bottle of wine per month. We started off at the bar getting samples of wine per the wine club membership. You can imagine how wasted/​tipsy you get towards the end when you’re about to sit at your table. The bartenders were hilarious and super friendly. Maybe that was just the wine talking but it did the trick.
Staff was friendly when we sat down. We were tend to throughout the entire dinner which is a must in my book if you’ve seen my previous reviews. I got the salmon which was about 21.00 or so. Super delicious. We also got the medallions medium rare. I am no where near a blood lover and I really prefer my steak not to moo. Howeverrrrrr Coopers got me like whoa and I’m slowly going from well done, medium well, medium, to now medium rare all because of their steak. It’s like hell has frozen over but I am a believer. It was perfectly juicy and not super under cooked. Very succulent and practically like butter.
We had the cheesecake and some type of chocolate balls (ha) for dessert. Holy f! So flame so fire aka really frickin delicious. Cheesecake was like you could just taste the fresh milk, butter, cream, everythinnggggg sex in my mouth j swear. The chocolate balls were amazeballs literally and figuratively.
Fairly pricey but you’re getting what you pay for in quality.

My wife and I and 6 other friends ate at the restaurant on 2÷13÷16. After seeing the menu and seeing how much wine they had, one would expect many things to be great but it was not. The server did not bring bread to the table until we received our meal (really after we asked for it).
I ordered the Jalapeño Burger medium but received it somewhere between rare and medium rare… and the server explained to me that the temperature of the burger is indeed medium and I am wrong for complaining the this cow was still moving. Anyways she finally bring me another burger at what she called medium well buy indeed it was just medium as I asked for in the first place. However this 2^nd burger was smaller than the first. So instead of correcting my order, I received a junior happy meal burger for $ 14

Stopped by while in Burr Ridge. I arrived during happy hour and just wanted a place to get something quick and have a drink.
Pro — Awesome service from Orlin. The food was great as well. Wedge Salad & Drunken Shrimp were pretty good. Good ambiance. I did mention Orlin was great, right.
Con — We sat at the high table and the seats were not comfortable.

Wine tasting! Perfect place for it. Join their wine club and you get two free wine tastings a month. The restaurant is quiet and the ambiance is nice. My favorite is ahi Tuna, delicious!

But we had the BEST service ever. I wish I remembered our waiter’s name. He had a really big personality and was so helpful, kind, and attentive. 10 stars for our fabulous waiter.
The food was meh. I ordered some pork belly sandwich and it was not edible. The pork was ALL FAT. I ended up getting it switched for a roasted veggie flatbread. But that was just average.

Service, food, and dining experience overall were absolutely excellent. We just had one slight hiccup when we first were checking in, but besides that everything was great.
Came with a group on a Friday night and it was packed (be sure to make a reservation!!). They helped the waiting process by passing out samples of one of their wines by the door. It was definitely a warm welcome.
So our little hiccup happened just at the beginning, we had a 6pm reservation and were waiting on some of our party still (20 minutes later), we were going to be a pretty big group they wouldn’t let us sit until half of our party was there, and then when we were waiting, even though we had half of the party, they were a little antsy to seat us as they had an 8pm reservation for the big table. It worked out because the 8pm ended up canceling, but it’s not cool to refuse to seat us when we could have at least gotten started with some appetizers, and then turn around and complain about us not being seated because our whole party wasn’t there. OK RANT OVER.
So the servers definitely made up for it, one was training, which may have accounted for the slightly slower service (again, why so slow if you were trying to get us out? OK RANT REALLY OVER THIS TIME). They have a pretty varied menu, and a quite a few different types of wines to choose from. They do wine flights and sangria flights (although it’s not on the menu). Their wines are really good, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t really like wine.
The food is also exceptional, Crab Cake bites appetizer, Burrata Prosciutto & Arugula bruschetta, Cooper’s Hawk Calamari, get them all. They are all delicious. For the main dish I had Dana’s Parmesan-​crusted Chicken. Although the portion was pretty generous it was so delicious I ate the whole thing.
We rolled out of there pretty satisfied. It’s a great place with good wine and good food. If you’re a wine-​drinker, enjoy their food, and go there often enough, their wine club is also a great deal.

Since I work in the neighborhood, Cooper’s Hawk is pretty unavoidable. It’s always the first suggestion for after work drinks and snacks and it’s very apparent why that is.
I have never had food here that I did not like. Granted, I’m vegetarian, so I’m very limited in what I can eat here because this is a restaurant (like so many) that like to put meat into everything. My favorite appetizer that I have eaten here is the Thai Lettuce Wraps. I will admit– I enjoy building my own food. So, I liked that they serve everything deconstructed and you can build your own wraps. But I thought that the sauce on those wraps was delicious. I could drink it, it was so good. I’ve also enjoyed the Mediterranean Plate which is good. I also like some of their flat bread options– the roasted vegetable & goat cheese is very good, as is the caprese.
I really like the flatbread & salad/​soup & salad combinations. Last time that I came to Cooper’s Hawk, I ordered the ceasar pesto & lobster bisque and that combination was divine. The salad had so much flavor and the bisque was so creamy with just the right amount of lobster (aka not a whole lot). I think this will be my go-​to dish from here on out.
I also have many coworkers who do the wine club. I have a few of their wines. I like the sparkling almond wine, but I can only drink it on certain occasions because I do not like sweet wine all that much. I have had their Sauvignon Blanc which I very much enjoyed. I also really liked their cabernet. So, I feel like their wines hit all the bases (red, white, sweet).
The staff have always been friendly. But if you can, make a reservation because this is a hot spot and it’s hard to get in at certain times. But definitely worth a try!

Ohhh geeez, I really tried to like this location. The food is so bland! The Trio of Medallions was an ok dish. The steak itself was great, however, the mash potatoes were nasty. I’m thinking they were from a box because they were stiff, not creamy and taste absolutely horrible. Okay, the other two I had two week prior was the Gnocchi Chicken Pasta (see pic). It is a nice picture, but the WORST tasting pasta ever. I actually took a couple bites and did not eat the rest. UGH! The lettuce wraps were okay, nothing special, however, it was the only thing I really liked here other than the steak.
Now on to the drinks… The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars, is the service and the drink menu. I did not like the Coopers Hawk Bellini, but the Peach Sangria knocked it out of the park. That was happiness in a big glass. Also, the plum wine and the passion fruit wine was great! I know. Plum right? I promise you, it — does — not taste like Plum. I do not like Plums, but this wine was delicious. If you drink enough, maybe you’ll enjoy the food haha!
Wait… I almost forgot! The Crème Brulee, how dare I forget this. As you know, this is my favorite dessert and they did a great job at it. However, honestly, how could you mess up Crème Brulee? Enjoy :)

I recently went to Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant is on a Wednesday evening with some girlfriends. We decided to try the tasting while we were there. I really enjoyed the wine tasting our host was this really nice girl by the name of Shelby. She already knew one of girlfriends because she signed her up to be a wine club member. However I was really impressed that she actually remembers her and you would have thought that they were really close friends. While we were tasting Shelby was telling me about the wine member benefits and I must say it really is worth it to be a member.
When we used my friends member card she was able to get two free tastings and also get a deal on the chocolate covered strawberries we also order. We also were able to use her member card towards our bill which allowed us to have the price cut dramatically. At this location they had a pretty good selection of wine, wine gifts and delicious food to cater to all palates. We were seated as soon as our tasting was finished, Shelby had told them to add us to their list so we wouldn’t have to wait which was perfect.
For dinner I ordered the sweet red/​romance red bottle of wine at dinner. I ordered the SPINACH & CHEESE CANNELLONI WITH SHRIMP which was a pasta. The pasta was really good. The portions are a really great size, my friend and I shared our pasta so that we both could if we liked it. I am not sure what pasta she had but that was also very good. We all were pleased with our food.
Although they do not have a location in Dallas, When I come home to Chicago I plan to visit regularly going forward.
