Restaurants near Dawes Arboretum

Cooper’s hawk was awesome we have done a wine tasting there before and wanted to go back for another and eat dinner. Well we waited 45 minutes for a spot to open for a whine tasting and nothing opened up before our reservation for dinner. So we had dinner and a few drinks with our meal. The food was amazing we had a prime rib sandwich which was very tender and flavorful. We also had a paste plate and it too was outstanding and flavorful. We will definitely be having another date night there. Side note if you want to do a tasting the staff stated Fridays thru sundays are very busy for that and that is when those who linger at the station are there, Monday thru Thursday the crowd is more polite and you are able to do your tasting without the extreme wait.

This was a special occasion and we had a reservation. But we waited 10 minutes before the hostess even showed up to the front kiosk. After that, we had a wonderful time. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. The food was out of this world; best steak I have ever had. I do wonder how they accommodate handicapped people as my husband, who has trouble walking, had to walk 20 yards from the handicapped parking spot to the 5 front steps and then climb them.

Food was above average, but not great for the price, and service was attentive, but not at all fast. Disappointed to see that 3% was added to the bill for service charge for credit card use. On a $200 bill that is significant. Should have been very clearly posted on menu.

Our server was attentive and each dish well prepared- the mahi mahi and chorizo tacos are a meal by themselves! The mariposa margarita requires more than one sampling - we will all be back - it was a great birthday celebration.

Great experience for a Friday night at 7:30. Our waiter Ricky Bobby was awesome !
