    Had a nice night with my wife at this restaurant, service was good, we loved the drinks and the appetizers and the soup and salad. But our final entrée left a lot to be desired. The mushroom pizza just seemed to be lacking too much, it was not good. The crust was perfect but the rest was gross. Not sure if they forgot to add something but no seasonings, no cheese, mushrooms were close to raw and plain. We'd try it again but would definitely order a different pizza.

    My bad. I consider Mike P our Toledo pizza expert. I usually read his review before checking out pizza spots. Last minute type deal after the comedy show. I did make a reservation. We arrived early due to the show letting out earlier than expected. The hostess checked us in and invited us to check out the bar. Bar has like 6 seats so not much to check out but in direct sight of the hostess when our table is ready. Decent wine list $9-15 per glass and a few craft beers. So now the wait begins. Its about 10 minutes past our reservations. I go back to the hostess n she look like she never saw me before. Said something about maybe they gave the table to a similar name. I told her if there's another Summer in here I want to meet her lol. No apology or anything. She just looked confused? Server was nice n knowledgeable. Unfortunately the best thing I had was the charcuterie. Nice selection of cheeses but a little pricy at almost $20 for a small plate. We got the primo pizza. Pepperoni sausage n mushrooms. Floppy falling apart pizza. Need a fork n knife to eat it. Toppings n sauce completely forgettable. Warmed some up when I got home to cook a little more n still forgettable. Servers box up your food. I personally prefer to do it myself for sanitary reasons but he had already grabbed the pizza n started. Is that what makes this upscale pizza? Now the disappointment with the credit card fee to use a card. If this was mentioned on their website or on the door I would have brought cash. Good server but I tip based on cost of my items, not additional fees added. My man refuses to eat the leftovers so off to the trash. Toledo has so many good pizza places here. Nothing special to see here.

    We come here every year when we visit friends. I have to say this time was good and bad. Our food was good , but my husband ordered the Santa Fe soup and the waitress brought potato leak saying " she didn't know they where out of Santa Fe" we go the honey whipped feta for an appetizer which came with lots of whipped feta ( yummy) but only four small pieces of bread. We asked for more break and where told it would be a. Additional $4.50 ( okay that's fine because we had all that whipped feta). However, my husband ordered the meatballs and when they arrived, guess what? They had five pieces of the same bread!! Why the waitress didn't tell us " you can have more bread for $4.50 or wait for your meatballs which come with the same bread" ?! I got the strawberry field salad and that was very good. For dessert we ordered the flourless chocolate cake.... It took almost 20 min to bring it out. We ordered it to go because there was a storm rolling and we wanted to get back to the hotel before it dumped rain. We almost left without the cake bet it shouldn't have taken that long! Overall the food is good , pricey but good.

    I choose this place with high score by yelp for dinner. House was pretty full but they had high table for me alone. In addition of my beer I ordered a Fried calamari for appetizer and Margarita. Just different foods from what I usually eat. The Calamari came but on marinara sauce and mayo on the Calamari. I want sauce on the side and no mayo on the top. I want control how much sauce depends on taste of sauce. Mayo killed all flavors of food. The Margarita looked good but this dow taste so plain without wheat and yeast flavor. Tomato sauce probably house made but too sour. Thus, looking great pizza but taste not. Such a great place and services but sorry just half the star because of the foods.

    Cheers! Enjoying drinks and dinner .

    I was surprised!!!! Very surprised !! This restaurant is excellent. We made reservations, got there a little early and was seated right away. Great wine list , they also have beer and a few liquor speciality drinks. I ordered a Pepperoni Pizza and my wife ordered a 4 Cheese Tortellini. We split the order....wow the Tortellini was great. I over ate and usually I do not do that. The Tortellini was so good. I also ordered a glass of Cataclysm . The attendant was great in making sure we were happy with the food and comfortable. She was quick and attentive in this busy time. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Mimosa flight: Cherry, apple cider, strawberry, orange

    Yum! We stopped in on the way from Michigan back to central Ohio. It was a long stop for a trip but so worth it. The mimosa flight was so good. I really loved the Cherry mimosa. They don't have a kids' menu specifically, but they were more than happy to adjust an adult portion for us! And the chicken and waffles was delicious!

    Great food - various menu options - great service! (I ordered the "primo" pizza). The server was nice and offered wine suggestions. Also, my server was great at allowing me to "take my time" ordering. If I am in this area, I will definitely come to this place again!

    Cooper's Hawk has consistently been one of my favorite restaurants over the past 5+ years, but…read moreuntil recently I had never tried their brunch! After the shareable alone, I knew I'd be adding Cooper's Hawk as one of my favorite brunch spots as well! As always, the whole team at Cooper's Hawk go out of their way to give you the best possible experience, and they always have the best recommendations! The Applewood Smoked Bacon Pizza is by far the absolute best breakfast pizza I've ever had! I'm a big pesto fan & the fresh slightly acidic bursts from the oven roasted tomatoes when you take a bite is awesome! One of my go-to's if dining out for breakfast is a scramble or hash; the smoked brisket hash is a MUST! It's extra cheesy & the smoked brisket alone is unreal!! If you like breakfast on the sweeter side, the Hawaiian Bread French Toast is a great pick! I love all the berries & the berry sauce with it! You have to try it all!!

    I hadn't been to Cooper's Hawk for more than six months and was looking forward to seeing my…read morewonderful friend-sister and to enjoying a lovely dinner. We had a reservation for 6pm and the lobby area was already packed on a Saturday. If you're familiar with the Cooper's Hawk chain, it's about wine, a cool, mostly upscale casual ambiance and generally great food. Upon entering, there is a long bar for wine tasting and also opportunities to purchase wine-related decanters, glasses and (of course!) wine! We buzzed straight through that area to check in for our reservation. And I definitely recommend a reservation unless you want to hang out for a while tasting various wines before being seated. Anyway, our reserved booth was ready right on time and was very comfortable. The restaurant was pretty busy and yet we were promptly greeted by Dante' our server. He brought us each two complimentary wine tastings before taking our wine order. He also answered questions about the menu and brought us hot pretzel bread. The atmosphere in the restaurant was on the loud side because it was so busy and at times it was difficult to hear Dante' or to converse in general. We didn't order appetizers because we knew the entrees would be substantial. In the current economy, it wasn't surprising to see that prices had definitely increased since the last visit. A glass of wine was $11 for house wine and entree's ranged in price based on whatever you chose to order. My friend ordered the Chicken Madeira, which came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I ordered the Ellie's Chicken Piccata with pasta, which I've enjoyed on past visits, and also added a side of asparagus. Both my friend and I enjoyed our first couple of bites. My friend found that the sauce became overwhelmingly sweet on the Chicken Madeira. I found that my entrée had way too much lemon sauce, although the chicken was perfectly cooked and tender. It was rather disappointing since I remember this entree being amazing in the past. It wasn't anything bad but too much sauce was simply too much and detracted from the meal. If I ordered it again, I would request light sauce, but that's definitely a hypothetical if... I probably would order the salmon dinner. However, I'm not really in any hurry to return. Dante' did a great job as our server and allowed us to linger as we continued to catch up with each other's lives. I would recommend this restaurant with the caveat that a Saturday night would likely be very busy in the dining room and the kitchen. Check out pictures below.
