Meh. Nothing special & outrageous in price for what you get. Had a glass of moscato & Chardonnay, about the only good thing I had. Then a house margarita - which tasted purely like juice & sprite. Started off with the bruschetta - not sure if they use a cheese spread or what, but it was not bruschetta in my cook book. It was served on what looked to be a big piece of soggy Italian bread instead of a crunchy crouton, with a cheese spread instead of fresh mozzarella - then topped with cherry tomatoes cut in half & a slight drizzle of balsamic glaze (couldn’t even taste it) & hardly any basil. Dinner I ordered a steak with scallops. Got a tiny flank steak for a ribeye price. Scallops were very overcooked. If they weren’t in the cheese sauce, I would have not been able to eat them. Veggies were, veggies. They took up most of my meal, were sliced extremely thin & had no flavor to them. Our server was super sweet & good. I paid for my friends meal & mine, plus our drinks. Definitely not worth $200…

DO NOT JOIN THE WINE CLUB!!! It's a scam. I was in Iowa for a month so we joined the club back in June 2024. I've tried cancelling FOUR TIMES and they are STILL charging my account. No one gets back to me, no one answers the "membership" phone, no one emails back from the website. I'll update this is they ever refund me for all the months they charged! I don't even LIVE in IOWA!

Cool concept. Went to dinner and spent the majority of our evening in the dining room. I was with a member, so they took care of the wine selection and that whole process. We created our own tapas menu by splitting one entree three ways and ordering several appetizers. This gave us a great sampling of the menu. Everything was well prepared. Highlights were the scallops, cheese plate, and calamari. This is a wine heavy place and they have their own wine. We had a bottle of theirs and a bottle of something else. Both red both very good.

Very pleasant afternoon dining. Food was prepared as specified. Over all enjoyable experience. Our waiter and server presented the fares expertly and was very knowledgeable about the wine and dessert selections.

Had a great experience. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. The staff was all welcoming. Jacob was our server, and he was very professional yet personable.

Food was very under cooked. Basic hamburger Was sent back twice as it was ordered well done and was pink. Chicken was pink in 2 other dinners. The waitress was the bomb and made it better. But for my birthday dinner. I do not recommend. Can't make chicken or a basic hamburger.

We always love to sit at the bar and meet people, and Savannah and Stephanie were amazing bartenders. They provided top notch service, and the quality of the food and wine continues to impress. Cooper’s hawk is a scratch kitchen, and in probably a dozen times at the restaurant we have never had a bad meal.

We met a friend for dinner who was traveling through town. Our server Ariane was very friendly and provided us with suggestions when we asked. The medallion trio was very fast and perfectly cooked. The skirt steak had a bit of gristle. The pork chop & scallop combo was excellent. Overall, the experience was very nice.

Go see Rachel and Savannah at the bar! Food and service are always impeccable. But service from these two is outstanding!

We had a long lunch with friends. The service was excellent - Jasmine took care of us and was very personable. The food was outstanding as usual, and the wine is the best! We love Cooper's Hawk!

My husband and I visited the establishment on Saturday the 14th. We were celebrating our anniversary and chose to do cocktails and appetizers/desserts. Our waitress (Victoria) had absolutely no time for us. She didnt give us silverware or napkins. I had to ask a bus boy for silverware. It felt like we were being an inconvenience to her. It's a shame because I've always enjoyed my experiences there. To top it off, she never even wished us a happy anniversary. Super uncomfortable situation. Truly a shame, I used to love this place.

The Caesar salad to start was amazing and our steaks (filets) were cooked to perfection! Red wine flight was great and took home a salted caramel crème brûlée and that was amazing as well. Will be coming back!

We were celebrating my parents 60th wedding anniversary! I stopped by earlier to drop off flowers for the table which they graciously placed. The hostess and server were so kind and made our experience so memorable. Food and wine was great. Loved it all!
