Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants: A Trendy New American Dining Experience

This was my first visit to this business that is in several states i am told. A restaurant that has so many gluten free options is rare but a great find if you have celiac or gluten allergy. They have for appetizer a: 1.Gluten free bruchetta with burrata, basil, tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic glaze. It was delicious.. 2. Tortilla soup- it was very flavorful and the best I've ever tasted.. 3. Gnocchi with butternut squash- delicious best I've tasted. I was to full to get dessert but on my list next time. This restaurant chain has a large variety of wine and club. I would highly recommend experiencing this business for yourself. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely Would I return? Absolutely Second visit i had the dessert. As you can see the smores without the gram cracker was delicious and creme Brulee.

Visiting Orlando and decided to eat here since it was close to the hotel. They do close at 9 but we walked in at 8. We sat in the bar area since the wait was over an hour. The service in the bar area was high top tables and some low tables with bar seating too. Only the high top tables were open. We sat down with no problem. The server took about 10 minutes to greet us and take our drink order. The servers attitude was a little sour but nothing bad. After we ordered we were told bread would come to the table. That took about 20 minutes. Our food finally came out about 30 minutes later. The server explained there were two large parties that the kitchen was trying to serve as well. Overall, the experience was okay, nothing stellar. The food was good and enjoyable. The bar area was loud and crowded. The service was okay too. We’ve been here before and will come back but hopefully the wait times for food will improve regardless of larger parties.

We normally go to the Cooper’s Hawk on Alafaya Trail, but the International Drive location truly exceeded expectations. The space is absolutely stunning—modern, romantic, and perfect for a special night out. It felt like a full Valentine’s experience from the moment we walked in. The wine selection was on point as always, and every dish was incredible—from the rich lobster bisque and flavorful meatballs to the perfectly cooked steak and lemony chicken piccata. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. This location definitely impressed us and made our Valentine’s dinner feel extra special.

My first experience at Cooper's Hawk was in Northern Virginia. I loved it there, and I love it in Florida! The food is delicious.The cocktails are outstanding, and my favorite wine, Chocolate Noir, oh my God! So good! It's one of my favorite places to go with friends or solo dating.

Although Our daughter & son-in-law frequently dine at Coopers Hawk, this was our first time visiting. Our nephew was In town for a conference at the Convention Center & this would be a good meeting place. We were very impressed upon arrival. Although a little loud upon entering, I loved the vibe. We were greeted by staff in a friendly, professional manner & seated at our designated reservation. Once seated, the noise level decreased substantially.I was very impressed by the various options for dinner. I had the pistachio crusted grouper, which was excellent! We were a party of 6, and we dined for approximately 2 hours, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy appetizers to some excellent truffles for dessert. We will definitely return.

Enjoyed our meal at Cooper’s Hawk. The Bleu Prime Skirt Steak Salad was really good — crunchy, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. Ellie’s Chicken Piccata was light and flavorful, and the lemon butter caper sauce was the highlight, pairing nicely with the capellini pasta. The lobster bisque was a bit on the salty side, and the bread & butter served with the meal didn’t quite compare to what you’d expect from other steakhouses. Overall, a nice dining experience with some standout dishes.

What an great place to meet up for drinks! Shout out to Patrick, who treated me like I was the only customer even though the place was PACKED! I highly recommend the Bubbles Flight - it has a great range of flavors for a well-rounded tasting experience and it pairs really well with the Asian Ahi Tuna Sashimi. In fact, the Prosecco went so well, I ordered another - such good times! I can't wait to go back and try more from their menu - there's so many delicious combinations to choose from!

Reservation is needed. Dress casual. I went to the one on international Drive Fl. Menu has variety of options to choose from. I had the salmon which was ok. I had a blueberry sparkling wine with my food. Absolutely delicious wine. You can taste wine but didn’t know to do it before I was seated. When done with the dinner they were closed. Would go there again so I can do some wine tasting. Good portion , the crispy calamari with sweet chili was great. I was giving a treat for my birthday.
