    Rustico continues to be a solid "go to" for a good meal, conversation and attentive service. On this visit I had one of their specials for the day-- Lobster Risotto. It was fantastic!

    After my last experience I wrote about I was hopeful that it was a one-off of bad food and service, and was very happy to find it was. This most recent return to Cooper's Hawk was a return to the quality of food and service I typically expected when dining there. I had a very pleasant afternoon early dinner date with my wife. The food was prompt and correctly made, the service was frequent and genial, and we were very happy to have chosen Cooper's Hawk to dine at. I very much appreciate that after the less than stellar experience my wife and I had for our birthday dinner a few weeks past the restaurant, management, and company made every effort to win back our trust and took our issues seriously. Look forward to returning again soon.

    Absolutely wonderful. The meal was incredibly delicious as were the raspberry martinis. They really made it a special Valentines Day dinner with rose petals and little red gems on the tables. We had the mixed greens salad with champagne vinaigrette and the hangar steak. For dessert I had the crème brûlée and my companion the chocolate mousse. Both were excellent. Highly recommend this neighborhood “gem”.
