Pleasantly surprised! Celebrated our 52nd anniversary. Received a card, champagne toast, a rose, and a sign on the table! Shared a bottle of wine, I had the filet and my husband had the filet with the slipper tail lobster. Lobster was a little overcooked, but that happens. What really made our night, was our server Andrea. Very knowledgeable, very efficient, and extremely attentive. We will be back!

Our server Trevor is an absolute gem! He shared with us why he's been with Cooper's hawk for so long and the generosity shown by the company during Covid, in particular. He was on point with his menu and drink suggestions, and he was attentive without being annoying. :) The perfect evening with colleagues for the holidays with delicious food, tasty drinks, and excellent service.
