Food and service were great! Surprised the menu consisted of misspelled Caesar and the featured menu misspelled cinnamon.

We stopped for lunch. Good soup and sandwich options. Nice selection of beer, wines and mixed drinks. It was a ham and Swiss cheese melt.

Would give this zero stars if I could. Arrived after work with my colleagues but was turned away because we didn't have reservations. They had four open tables that we could have clearly sat at. Not the place to go if you actually have a job where you get dirty. Vary disappointed in this establishment.
First time visit to Coopers in the quaint downtown of Junction Valley. A lot of artsy, antique shops and boutiques. Coopers fits right in, it has about a dozen tables so make a reservation.
Food was very good and creative. I strongly recommend if you are in the area. I had the steak and ale pie shown in the picture. My wife had the braised short ribs. Appetizer was a hamburger egg roll and huge cuts of fried zucchini.

Every dish/drink we got just seemed like this was trying to do too much…
I regularly dine at places of this nature in major cities and this was a disappointment. The crab dip appetizer was extremely salty, especially the pita chips. The seafood ravioli was overly salty and had an extreme amount of Parmesan cheese (felt like the only thing you could taste). The short ribs were solid but nothing great for their signature dish.
Overall, food was fine but I like to dine with a drink and was left disappointed. The lemon old fashioned was extremely sweet and couldn’t taste the Woodford reserve (one of my personal favorites). The “two idiots walk into a bar” drink was good for a couple sips then the flavors of the drink were just off putting. “Look at the flowers” drink tasted like perfume. The lemon, Malbec, and egg white (I can’t remember the name) drink was also just do too much.
The bartender consistently made a face of distaste with every single thing we ordered. Not sure what that was about…
Only critical to improve the success of the business. Take care

Started with the cheese curds, ended with a Cubano and the Chicken Philly. First, the cheese curds were DIVINE. I’m a little shocked they aren’t permanently on the menu. The cubano was well liked. Four stars because the Chicken Philly is a little weird; you can tell by the photo that it’s just a chicken breast with melted cheese. Flavor was pretty good but it was just an odd meal and presentation. Overall, this place is darling. We sat outside but the inside has a perfect romantic ambiance. Would definitely go back.

The food, service, and atmosphere here were all very good. The staff seemed friendly and timely at this restaurant. Although the main dining room was full, they sat us on the outside dining section which is behind the building, it was still fine though. I had no idea I had to make reservations at this place, but was still sat down (not too bad).

Food here is always good, the rotating egg rolls give you a reason to come back. I'd recommend a reservation because it is always full.
