Amazing customer service amazing food very beautiful place definitely a place to recommend to friends. I will definitely be back. Finally we got a place in surprise. We don't have to drive far for good wine. read more

We had Brittany for our group of ten tonight. Best server ever!!! Food and drinks were always perfect and full.

Great food and great service. Their beer is good too. Wine tastings are always a good start to the evening.

This is about as good as it gets for Surprise. Can't imagine anyone using the word "amazing" but it's pretty good. Portions are not big for the price, but they're acceptable and we got our fill. Sangria is not much more than watered-down fruit juice. The better meal was the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes (average) and seasonal veggies. The pretzel bread is nothing special. Our server, Sydney, was busy but as attentive as she could be. We sat in one of the booths-for-two and was uncomfortably close to the table beside, but it's to be expected to maximize patronage. Overall a good experience and may return, but a little too pricey to frequent. ($158 with drinks and tip for two) read more

This is such a g in the west valley. Great food and wine and even better service. Ask for Shannon in the bar. She will take exceptional care of you with food and wine recommendations. Service with a smile. One of the best servers we have ever had. read more

too expensive for lunch but I would recommend for dinner. pleasant surroundings excep outside looking at a parking lot. good servers

Made a reservation for 4 for a booth in the bar. Got to the restaurant on time and was told our table wasn't ready. When I asked how long it would be, I was told no estimate could be provided. When our name was finally called 20 mins later, another of the host staff said there was no booth (although there was one open) and that we were going to be given a high-top. I had to explain why that wouldn't work for our group and received a snotty reply, but we were seated at the open booth. Our appetizers were delicious. Next came the main courses...1. a "chimichurri" steak with no chimichurri (unless it was the green mayonnaise that it came with), soggy french fries and some kind of carrot medley that didn't seem cooked for $40. 2. Jambalaya with no flavor in some kind of thick tomato sauce with a block of rice on top, which caused an upset stomach after eating, 3. Shrimp Risotto with no shrimp. Seriously, not even 1! 4. Sure and Turf - that didn't get one mention of it being good or bad...not a ringing endorsement, in my book. Lastly, the ambiance...I realize this place is all about the wine; and is pretty much an expensive bar with food, but you can barely hear yourself think and the bar area is, evidently, quieter than the dining room. The bill was shared between us and our friends. The total, for our half of yhe dinner, with tax and tip was $146. Honestly, the quality of food we received was nothing better than a Cheesecake Factory. Actually, Cheesecake Factory has better food and better prices. If you want to give your money to a bunch of pretentious want-to-be wine snobs, then maybe this place will work for you. To everyone else...there are a ton of other places to go with much better food. read more

Not based on food My mom & I came in here for lunch on a random Tuesday. The place was not busy whatsoever. We walked in gave our name & total party size, 2. 5 min later a party of 2 walks in after us & does the same. A short 2 min later, the hostess proceeds to take the party that came in right after us to the last available booth. When asked if they had a reservation, they said no just like us. I do not understand what the point of that was & as someone who has worked in the serving and dining industry for decades, it was completely rude and uncalled for. read more

So far we've not ordered one thing that we haven't enjoyed. Even some of the stuff that we consider "different" have been so good. They are on the pricier end. We like to get a booth because sometimes I feel like the tables just are a little to close & oddly feels pretty loud. The booths seem so much more quiet, which doesn't make a lot of sense because they are all right there?! I love that you can make reservations on open table & you never have to wait! The food has always been great. We have had only wonderful service at this location. The wine of the month club has different options & I love that you can try any of it before you get it. Their samples of the wine are actually pretty big- feel like it's the size of some places glass of wine. Highly recommend making reservations because they fill up! read more

Normally I wouldn't complain, but since restaurant prices are up nearly 50% I'm going to demand more. First the food was very good no complaints. Sat at the bar and had to ask to have the top cleaned, it had several drinks spilled and hadn't been cleaned. We made reservations, when our time was up I went to the front and the ladies took a pretty long time to sit us then the waiter was not very attentive, someone cleaned off 2 plates and left the others, once again had to ask to have them removed. Many restaurants today have poor oversight and training. read more

We went for dinner last week and loved it ! The drunken shrimp starter is so delicious you have to order it and the pretzel crusted pork chop was cooked perfectly ! The way they decanted the super Tuscan wine we ordered was an experience and we enjoyed our chat with the chef at the end of dinner! We just joined the wine club and look forward to more dinners there. Highly recommend it ! read more

If you've been missing good wine, good food, and phenomenal service, you have not been to Cooper's Hawk. Sergio is an awesome bartending staff that make sure that you are comfortable, well taken care of, and met all of our needs. If you bump into Tyler, he is amazing as well. These guys rocked our world with great service, great food, and a great experience. read more

The team at the Surprise, AZ location has been fantastic! I would like to recognize Corvette and thank her for her superior customer service. We were able to change our Wine Dinner reservation from Gilbert to our 'home' restaurant location and had a fantastic evening! The chefs impressed us with their culinary talents as we all enjoyed every course and pairing. It's also nice to be able to change out a wine selection during the meal. As fairly new wine members, we have just discovered these special wine member dinners and will continue to return because of the outstanding experience with food/wine, ambiance and service. Way to go team! read more

This place is awesome. Happy hour is good and the regular menu has some fantastic options. Definitely a restaurant I will frequent often.

Ate here for the first time last night. We had made a reservation for the dining room and were seated right away by friendly staff. Waitress was great and answered our questions thoroughly. Food, for the most part was very good. I ordered short ribs and my wife ordered a risotto dish which she said was very good. My only complaint was in being served raw vegetables. This may be the way some high end restaurants serve veggies but I prefer mine to be cooked a bit more (at least past the crunchy stage). When we return, I'll be sure to ask that my veggies be cooked a bit more. read more

I had the distinct pleasure of wining and dining here recently and it didn't disappoint. The pistachio encrusted grouper was very flavorful as well as the asparagus & seasoned mash potatoes. The service was spot on and the manager stopped at our table to make sure we were satisfied. My friend's oven roasted veggies was a bit off, but the manager more than made up for it. The Chardonnay was pretty decent. The place has the most beautiful wine accessories. Between the food, wine and accessories you could easily blow your budget. Lol Definitely worth a visit! read more

Went on a busy Friday night. Service and atmosphere were good although a bit noisy. Wines are their own brand and both the whites and reds we tried were good. Food was OK but nothing special. It's one of those places that has a lot on its menu. So, usually, some stuff is just not prepared right. I had the Chicken piccata which was too sweet, almost sugary and not the lemony flavor I am used to. My wife had the ahi salad which was a bit bland and without much flavor or seasoning. Portions were large. read more

It's nice to have an upper scale restaurant in the Surprise area. The food was excellent, the service was great! The atmosphere was very nice and I'm not much of a wine drinker, but became quite a fan of one of their whites after our 1st visit. read more

Service was amazing! Everyone from the wine tasting area to the hostess and servers were great! Tatum our hostess gave us a chance to finish our tasting before seating us for our reserved table and then Lexi our wine tasting host was super great! Our server faith was amazing and was very attentive. The food was delicious especially the bread . I would totally recommend especially for date night , the ambiance was perfect. read more

Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Dana's chicken with Mary's potatoes. Also prime rib sandwich - Desserts Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

See all

Been here about 5 or 6 times now that it opened and it's always been great! Sometimes a little busy but I understand why they would be!

This positive review is earned. I had a disappointing experience for my first visit which I shared on Open Table. The management reached out to me and offered to provide dinner to change my opinion and a positive experience instead. We tried a 2nd time and had a very positive experience and great food and service. I was impressed by their interaction with me and my guests. 5 stars for a place caring about the customers opinion and experience. Hurray. read more

We went last night and although they were very busy everything was spot on!! Food was amazing and our server Amanda L. was awesome! We had a variety of food from, steak, seafood and even burgers. Everything was cooked perfectly. The only thing I would suggest is that if you go take a light sweater, some people thought it was little chilly. But in our AZ heat that is a nice problem to have. read more

We made reservations for dinner with of town friends . When we arrived the wait area was packed! We were seated in a reasonable amount to time given how busy the restaurant was. Unfortunately, we found our wait person to be really lacking. She was friendly, but throughout our time there, she seemed forgetful, unconcerned and made excuses for her poor service. When we were initially seated the host offered a complimentary tasting of the CH Bordeaux. We asked our server for a tasting (she didn't offer). She only brought 2 glasses of the 3 requested. A requested iced tea was never brought. We waited quite awhile for our meals to come while others around us seemed to be served more quickly. Those around us were also offered complimentary bread. We had to ask for ours and then it wasn't brought until our meal was nearly over. The food in general was ok. It was a special occasion. We were excited to dine at CH, but found we were disappointed and sorry we brought friends to CH. We're hopeful it was an isolated incident. We'll try CH again and maybe our next experience will be more favorable. read more

Celebrated my birthday here and it was amazing. My family from California joined me for wine tasting and dinner. We all enjoyed every single minute. Will come back for sure. read more

This is the first time at CH where the food was less than expected. Of course, I should know better than to order Jambalaya at a restaurant not known for Cajun food. Shrimp was delicious and cooked perfectly. The andouille sausage and the chicken was so dry and over cooked. Very hard to get down. Service as usual was top-notch. Sat in the bar yesterday. I love the decor. I should have stayed with my first choice and ordered the steak salad. ‍ read more

My husband and I went there last evening September 8, 2024 to celebrate our anniversary. Big mistake my husband had the Short Ribs. He was throwing up all night, this was the only food he had all day. Definitely our last visit. read more

Love the wine and the atmosphere. Well worth the money. Wife and I found our new place to get great wine and food!

Mid. I don't care who you are you could 100% make food better at your own home. Don't waste your time or money. Service was great staff was super nice! read more

I had my first experience dining at Cooper's Hawk today and it will most likely be the last. We started out requesting a sample of their LUX cabernet sauvignon and both their Pinot Noirs. The samples were large but we didn't care for any of them. They were all a bit hard on the palette not smooth as we typically like. Our cheeseboard was tasty however it was underwhelming. My partner wanted to order the Seared Ahi but due to "supplier issues" they were out so he settled for the shrimp and scallop risotto. It was mediocre, the rice was mushy, the flavors all blended together, and the vegetables mixed in made it feel like an afterthought. I ordered the Parmesan Mahi Mahi and the fish came out dry, the Parmesan crust and what sauce they placed on the fish made it partially edible but the potatoes tasted bland and they were very paste like, as if they were over mixed in the process of making them. We were both hoping this would be a great addition to our local options however it is doubtful we would go back for the quality vs price this place charges. read more

Food is good, wine is good, service in the 3 times we have dinner was very good. Look forward to more good times, they are a keeper!!

Had reservations at Cooper's Hawk for Mother's Day at 1:15. We were five minutes early told we weren't sure how long the wait would be as we were sitting waiting. We noticed a family that was seated of four people. We waited 30 minutes name was never called, but what made us want to leave is the people that were seated to eat were never served, terrible will never go there again. They shouldnot overbook read more

First time there and had a great experience. The food was amazing, the service was great. Very nice place! I definitely recommend going! Had the Brussels Sprouts appetizer and the Chicken Madeira. Very, very good! read more

Great addition to the west valley. Perfect for a date night. Enjoy getting dressed up and enjoying some amazing drinks.

First of all I'm a member and we have been going since it opened last year today was the first time our service was so awful we asked for straws 3 times they forgot my daughters wine tasting and we waited for our food for 2 hours our reservation was 12:30 we didn't leave till 2:30 alls we ordered were burgers very disappointed!!!! read more

Service was great. The food was amazing and the wine was great as well. I would definitely come back!

Cooper's Hawk (CH) is a new place in Surprise. From the outside, its appearance is rather nondescript: contemporary and, honestly, a bit cold. Step inside, however, and the first thing you notice is that you are standing in a wine tasting room, complete with tasting bar and wine store, with the stemware and myriad wine bottles arranged beautifully. Shelves of wine bottles and accessories adorn nearly every wall, and the tasting atmosphere is warm. We had 4:45pm reservations on Thanksgiving, and the restaurant in fact was very busy, far busier than I had anticipated. Although we arrived about 10 minutes early, we did end up having to wait an extra 15 minutes beyond that (until about 5pm). We were finally escorted to a fairly private table in the back room, where we were immediately greeted by our server. While we perused the menus (standard, Thanksgiving, and wine), he shuffled off to fulfill our drink order and brought us some fresh pretzel-type of bread and freshly whipped butter that were fantastic. Although CH is a chain restaurant that is corporate-owned, that in no way detracts from its culinary quality; both the food and the wines are exemplary. There are nice varieties of both, and nearly every food item, from the appetizers to the soups, pastas, entrées and desserts, has a recommended wine pairing. I had visited the CH website beforehand and noticed that they also offered a separate menu with chef recommendations, of which none of the items were on the standard menu. I asked our server for and received that menu. We began our CH experience with a chef-recommended appetizer, a wild mushroom flatbread. It arrived on a serving board and was absolutely delicious. We then tried the crab / shrimp / lobster bisque. Although I have had better (in Massachusetts, a high bar), this bisque was better than most and quite flavorful. Because we find it hard to pass up a good risotto on the menu (CH offers *3* of them), we then shared a roasted chicken risotto that was savory and filling. For our entrées, my wife selected Dana's Parmesan-Crusted Chicken, which was moist, tender and flavorful, adorned with a small dish of Betty's Potatoes (shredded, au gratin-style), small basil-soaked tomatoes, and garlic green beans that were delightful. I selected the chef-recommended surf 'n turf: filet medallions with a winter truffle crust and blue crab-stuffed lobster tail, with lemon butter on the side. The filets were also very tender, the truffle crust phenomenal, the lobster tail delectable. Accoutrements included Mary's Potatoes (mashed with butter and cream) and roasted broccolini, both prepared to perfection. I also decided to go with a glass of the recommended pairing for the surf 'n turf: the house lux meritage, which was a great choice. For dessert, we shared a slice of banoffee pie. I had never heard of it, thinking it was a CH creation. But apparently it is a thing, as it was at the top of searches in Washington, DC for Thanksgiving pie recipes (see https://www.realsimple.com/top-searched-thanksgiving-pies-by-state-google-trends-8402424). In any case, it was astonishingly good! In addition to the slight wait for the table, the service was a tiny bit spotty; it did take a while between courses for our server to return. That said, we never felt rushed or that we were running out of beverages. We only ordered each next course after the previous one was delivered (or finished). One thing we hate is to have to order everything up front, only to have a new course arrive before we've barely started the previous one in an effort to turn the table as quickly as possible. We never felt pressured to do that here, and we thus appreciated the ability to take our time and enjoy the evening. Our server also checked with the kitchen a couple times to confirm that no food allergies would flare up and was otherwise attentive to our needs. Our bill, including taxes and before tip: $175. On the surface, it might seem like a lot, but that included an appetizer, two cups of soup, risotto for two, two entrées, dessert and a glass of wine, nearly all top-notch. All things considered, we thus didn't consider the bill exorbitant. A full 3-course Thanksgiving dinner for about $35 was also an option (soup, full turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and dessert), very reasonable (and from the looks of it at the table next to us, well worth it). There are few restaurants in Surprise of the caliber established by Cooper's Hawk Winery and Restaurant. It's a great addition to the area, and one which will most certainly see our continued patronage. read more

Overall we as a family of 5 enjoyed our Cooper's Hawk dining experience although it was quite pricey considering 3 of our fillet mignons were tasty but overcooked. In all fairness the place was packed. The service was cheerful and naturally with that many people inside a bit noisy but the highlight of our evening was having Santa and Mrs. Claus show up to the delight of our grandson! An unexpected surprise! Lovely for a special occasion. read more

I'm kind of at a loss and not sure how to start other than I really want to like the restaurant, but tonight was our third time and I can honestly say that the service is consistent: consistently poor. The food is only fair, considering the prices! I like the bar area for dining over the main dining. I'm going to make light of this, because three times and similar service (poor), how do you manage to find three servers that serve so similar (poorly) and no interaction on their part. Tonight for example: table reserved, name on the card and party size. Not noted was a member or not and no special occasion! No attempt to solicit me to join, or no question as to our visit for the evening! Could be nothing other than a date night or perhaps my Birthday! (My Birthday) Really considering to drive farther and visit a truly upscale restaurant our next evening out! I'm not even going to go into their wine tasting scenario - it's not pleasant for my wife who cannot stand for a long period of time in one place, so we've only done the wine tasting once! The place will go on without our patronage, not saying we will not be back - just will not be our main destination for a night out! Still didn't get my answer why on both my wedge salad and my main course there was one edamame seed on my plate! An update: wrote a note to the restaurant and no response!! Why is that? read more

I had the short ribs, and they were delicious! Got there at 4:30 and had a wait of 30 minutes and getting a drink was impossible because the wine bar was jammed but I will be back! read more

Pricey but very good! It's a nice addition to the neighborhood. The food is great, and the service is top notch. It feels like a California winery. read more
