Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant- New Lenox

Cooper's Hawk is one of our favorite restaurants in New Lenox. Everything from the check-in, servers, food has been OUTSTANDING! Emily our server did an AWESOME JOB!

In our reservation we requested a booth in the bar area. When we arrived, right on time, we were told that there were none available and that we could either wait for one to open up or take a table in the dining room, which we did. We were immediately reminded why we never wanted a table in dining room in the evening - there were four of us and we could not hear each other over the noise. Never again!

Food was great, our server was fabulous. The restaurant was busy even as I had an early 4:30 dinner with kids. And in the past it would take forever to get in and out with the kids and our server had us out in an hour without rushing us. Perfect!

Danielle was AMAZING!! It was the last Friday of the month and super busy and crazy. Danielle was very attentive and very attuned to what we needed at any point Also we observed both managers bringing food and drinks to other tables. Kudos to Coooers Hawk for always being classy with the service and atmosphere!

Never a disappointment, Cooper's Hawk is always our first choice - regardless of location but it's especially our hometown favorite!

Excellent food and service. We were there shortly after opening. The restaurant was cold with a draft over the table at which we were initially seated. Asking to be moved to another table, we were quickly accommodated.

Worst tasting room experience ever at a Coopers Hawk! Started when we walked in, we met a couple of friends, and had the same tasting attendant, her name was Tracy. After the first taste it was all down hill. She was super nice to our friends and all the other elder people in the tasting room. Both my husband and I believe that she was cold to us due to our age and our sexuality, as a gay married couple, borderline discriminating. I have never experienced such poor service from a tasting room attendant as I had with Tracy. She tried to tell us we couldn't experience other tastings we had to follow the tasting sheet, and we were not allowed to do a duet. We even had to call the manager Dan, who quickly corrected the situation, then it got worse, we were always the last person she poured, and she started marking down my husband and I's tastings. Only for us, mind you. I have no idea how Coopers Hawk can employ such a rude and inefficient person. Tasting room attendants are the first line person that people meet when they enter, they should be cheery and very friendly. First experience counts. We have been to Coopers hawks all over the state of illinois, Wisconsin, and the state of Florida and have never, ever experienced such ill mannered service that we did with Tracy. I should note that my husband is an Ambassador at Coopers hawk, and this commentary only reflect Tracy's terrible service at the New Lenox location.

Note: the restaurant and food was good. This comment only reflects the tasting rooms attendant.

What’s happened to Cooper’s hawk?! It used to be good, high quality food. Tonight we ordered and spent $20 on an appetizer because we usually love the Thai chicken lettuce wraps and received frozen, thawed Panera style chicken and hardly any of it at that!!! Such a shame this restaurant’s fall from grace.

No alcoholic mixed drinks are hit or miss otherwise enjoyed everything

I had a buger, it was okay, service was okay, it was very loud in the restaurant so we had to raise our voices to hear each other, not a great experience, I wouldn't go back

I recently visited this place and had a good experience overall. The atmosphere is clean and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The service was great, no complaints there.

The food, however, was just okay. My dad's salad was basically like a Wendy's salad, but it cost $21 here. It wasn’t bad, just nothing special. If you're looking for amazing food, this might not be the place.

One downside is that it was extremely loud inside, making it hard to actually hear conversations.

If you love wine, though, you’ll probably enjoy it more. Overall, it’s a nice spot, but the food could use improvement.

I got a salad for carry out. Normally the salad when eaten in house is a very large portion, justifying its $20 price tag. The carry out container is nowhere near the same size though charging the same price. Ridiculous.

Your food & wine portions have been dramatically reduced. We won’t be eating at Coppers Hawk ever again.
