Cooper's on 5th Reviews
My wife and I have celebrated many occasions here for years, but when we arrived for our anniversary this year we were told we would need to set at a hightop table. There was a booth available. We will not be back.
A go-to cozy neighborhood staple that never disappoints. Amazing specialty cocktails, great juicy burgers and best salmon in town.
Just tried to eat here. Had an open table but the hostess acted like since we didn't have a reservation she didn't want us there because the open table sat more than 3 people. The vibe was unwelcoming so we left. Very disappointed.
