Reviews for Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants in Arlington Heights, IL

We ordered the shrimp and lobster soup which was good. For our main, Hubby loved the braised short ribs. He enjoyed it for... dinner and even ordered one to go. I ordered the skirt steak with drunken shrimp which was good. Our kids ordered the classicburgers and they liked it. Our server, Boyko, was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is pretty big and clean, and withplenty of parking so we didn't need to take advantage of the complimentary valet parking which they offered the day of ourvisit. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back for a casual meal or an elegant outing with friends andfamily. Read more

To be fair, my review is a solid 3.5 stars - right between a 3 and a 4. I stopped in after work a couple of weeks ago and... ordered the soup & salad combo plus the seasonal summer berry shortcake. First, my server was lovely. However, it took 15minutes to get my drink - a diet coke. She told me the bar was extremely busy and I get it but 15 minutes for a soft drink withno checking in to let me know, especially for a $30 dinner, isn't great. The soup and salad were good as usual - in fact, thetortilla soup was outstanding! The shortcake, however, was underwhelming. The fruit itself was fine but the shortcake was heavyand bland. I'd recently heard in culinary news that climate change is having a big, negative impact on commercial flour(bakeries having to throw out large batches of menu items that just aren't tasting good, etc.) so I wonder if that had somethingto do with it. I mean, I ate the fruit and the creme, then took one bite of the shortcake and decided I was done. I'll try andcome back sometime but I'm not in a huge hurry. Read more

A very nice modern American restaurant. Lovely ambience and our server, Rachel, was wonderful and so sweet! Food was delicious... and tasted fresh. Really enjoyed our dinner here. Will be coming back. Definitely recommend trying it out. Read more

Great food, we had the Thai Lettuce Wraps which were wonderful and a huge portion. Tortilla soup was good. Entree was a Prime... Rib sandwich, which is always a treat, and did not disappoint this time. We were there for dinner, the dining room wasexceptionally loud. Read more

The experience was not the best. Our table ordered 3 Dana's Parmesan- Crusted chickens. The bottom was burnt on all 3 orders.. ... Very disappointing that the chef could send out 3 bottom burnt chicken plates. The bottom was hard. I was not able to easily cutto the bottom to slice it. See photo of a piece of the bottom burnt chicken in the pic below. I've had chicken Parmesannumerous times at the Downers Grove location. It's always been served superbly, which is why I highly recommended this dish tomy friends. Read more

We decided to go here for lunch. We arrived here close to 12p and the place was mostly empty. However by the time we were done... eating the place was packed. It is very hard to get a table here during peak times, so timing is important if you want to get inhere. Cooper Hawk has maintained their restaurant quality. The place is neat and clean with an upscale feeling. The servers arevery friendly and are following the Covid protocols. The food is always good. We started with wine flight. It comes with 4glasses of different wines. It's a great option if you are not sure which wine to get. Each glass had about 3-4oz of wine. Therestaurant starts you off with hot bread with soft butter which was freshly baked. For appetizers we got Brussel sprouts whichis a very flavorful. The Leonard burger comes with side of fries which were hot and tasty. Overall a good experience. Read more

Went here for a first time with my girlfriend to celebrate our one year anniversary. We made a reservation for 4:30 and came in... about ten minutes early. The staff was attentive and seated us within a couple minutes. I enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurantgives off a sweet and cozy vibe. It seemed crowded, so if you’re thinking of going, reservations are a good idea. I had thefilet mignon and my girlfriend had the shrimp scampi. The steak was phenomenal. I asked for medium rare, and it was cookedperfect. It was tasty, juicy, and tender. The mashed potatoes tasted like, well, mashed potatoes, and the broccoli wassurprisingly tasty, accompanied with a hint of steak flavoring. My girlfriend said the scampi was great. The sauce was a bitwatery, but not a deal-breaker. We got fresh bread before the main course, and we thought it was good. The only gripe I have ishow small the loaf is. If you have a party larger than three, that bread’s going fast. Our server, Eric, was polite and cameback multiple times to see if we needed anything. He seemed reasonably personable as well. Overall, we had a great time, and wewill definitely be coming back. Read more

Came here for my girlfriend and I’s one year anniversary. Reserved a table for two at 4:30. We ended up getting there a little... earlier and the staff seated us after a short while. Our waiter, Eric, was personable, friendly, and attentive. I has the filetmignon, medium rare, which was cooked to perfection. Crusty on the outside, and the middle just melted in my mouth like butter.The broccoli collected some flavoring from the steak and tasted great, despite me not being a big fan it. The mashed potatoeswere excellent. Creamy and full of flavor. Not too salty, it was just right. My girlfriend had the shrimp scampi and she told meit was incredible. I’ve added photos of our meal. Will definitely be back at this location again. Read more
