I took my sister out for a birthday lunch at The Copper Room last week… it was out of this world! The food was delicious and the wine options were extensive and excellent! Lindsay and Luca went above and beyond to make our lunch special.. thank you SO much! We will return for sure 💕
Beautiful spot and great food. A bit too much sauce (tweaking?) on two of the dishes. Music was a bit too loud at our table. Thank you.
I was very disappointed with the very slimmed down version of lunch at this iconic spot. Not a placemat nor tablecloth in sight. No soup, no seafood chowder (on a weekend) very peculiar cutlery which we found difficult to use. The sourdough was impossible to cut with the knife. My friend and I had looked forward to a delicious lunch, didn't happen. The room was very stark and cold.
