Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant- Springfield

This was my first time visiting, and it was actually a surprise from my best friend — what a fun experience! I loved it and can’t wait to go back again. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys good dining paired with wine, and the bonus is that it connects directly to White Oak Mall. You can have a relaxing meal, enjoy a drink or two, and then hop straight into shopping without missing a beat. The vibe was inviting, the staff was friendly, and everything just felt effortless. Whether you’re going with friends or on a solo trip, it’s a great spot to combine food, drinks, and some retail therapy. Definitely recommending this one to anyone in the area!

This restaurant has a wonderful selection of gnocchis. We tried the salad, pretzel bread, gnocchi allá vodka and grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious and my husband who doesn’t even like gnocchi was impressed and ate some of my dish. I would want to come back and try other dishes as well. They have a fairly large selection of food.

Sam that helped us with our wine tasting (I think that’s his name) was wonderful! Very nice and definitely knows his wine! This is the second time this has happened, but I went to the hostess stand and asked to get seated at the bar and the hostess said the dining AND bar area was all booked up….ummmm, it was 9pm and 5 tables were open but okay. I’m not stupid. Idk why they say this, but they’re lying. It’s stupid. If you don’t want the business, just say so.

Coopers is a true hidden gem in little ole Springfield. If you’re wanting a modern luxe but approachable dinning experience this is it! Kenneth is our “go-to” Sommelier, always impressed with his consistent level of service, knowledge, and spirit of keeping it real. If you’re here more than once a month it’s a no brainer to be apart of their wine club, otherwise you’re just paying for others to have deeper luxe benefits; Kenneth will personalize all his recommendations and get you enrolled with which tier is suited for your lifestyle. Also their Brussel sprouts are unmatched in Sangamon county!

We have done a few wine tastings and had Keith as our server. He is always so friendly and attentive. Each time we have had him he offers suggestions and does great descriptions of the wine profile.

Awesome dinner!

We have been longtime patrons to the st louis locarion. Brought a family of 7 for lunch and it was just the worst restaurant experience in a long time. despite very few people in the dining area, they seated us right on the walkway, pressed up behind another group of people. We were given 4 different servers that would disappear for a long time despite not being busy at all, we had to ask 5 times for bread and 3 times for drink refils, they took a VERY long time to bring our food. The bruscetta app was a waste, our other food was pretty good. they have been making cuts-and it is obvious. for example the sangria in st louis has nice big slices of fruit, now it has tiny bits of fruit that have just been scraped off the cutting board. However low review is mainly for the experience...very disappointed.

Cooper's Hawk is a great choice when you want a delicious meal, great service, and good wine/drinks. We were especially pleased with our server, Gracie, and look forward to dining there again when she's working. We love the brussels sprouts and the shrimp appetizers!

Service was good but plates weren't cleared away unless asked. Someone dropped a small container of oil based sauce on the carpet behind us, splattering everywhere and on our coats. The person cleaning it up was apologetic. We were there for my Mom's birthday and her food did not come out with everyone else's. A chef or manager stopped by to apologize. They were able to bring her dish out quickly but not sure what happened. It looked like another food server from the kitchen was trying to find the right table for someone else's dish too. So they have good food but it was a weird night.

Tasty food and great service and atmosphere.

UPDATED: Keith took very good care of me at the front counter will a confusing wine pick up situation. Extremely pleasant experience.

Fabulous menu topped only by the professional wait staff.

Cooper's Hawk was great as always. One of our favorite restaurants. Service, food and wine were excellent. We had a party of 9 people. We were given a round table in the corner which made conversation very easy and enjoyable!
