    Coopers hawk is always solid. I enjoy the seasonal menu, service, and the vibe. Always busy and alive in that restaurant. Came on a Saturday, I was a former wine club member. I do miss it but I'm on a hiatus since I used to always go. I'll eventually go back. Food is solid I got the filet mignon, steak was cooked right at medium rare and the Mary potatos is the BEST part. Vegetables was also cooked right. I tried their seasonal tiramisu, honestly not a fan. My wife liked it, I just felt like I was getting bored of the taste. But still doesn't hurt the way I like Cooper's hawk. If you need to go out and you're looking for a place come to Cooper's hawk

    Kai is hands down one of the best servers at Cooper's Hawk! From the moment you enter the tasting area, he makes you feel welcome with his friendly personality and contagious smile. He's incredibly personable, fun, and truly knows how to make the entire dining experience enjoyable. If you're not sure which wine to choose, trust Kai's recommendations--they're always spot on! His knowledge and enthusiasm make trying new wines so much fun. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. If you have the chance, definitely ask for Kai. I guarantee you'll have an amazing time and leave looking forward to your next visit!

    Gnocchi With Butternut Squash was so good
    Quin B.

    First time at Cooper's Hawk in Algonquin. This restaurant is fairly new and looks really nice & clean on the inside. We were seated right away on a Monday night. I'm not a wine drinker but I think wine lovers would love it here. There is a wine section in the front with different types of wines you can buy and info about each one. The restaurant seemed to focus on wines and suggested menu pairings. Service was good. I ordered gnocchi with roasted butternut squash and my wife ordered sweet corn and tomato risotto. The portion size was moderate as well as the price at $23.99 and $22.99 for the latter. The gnocchi was perfectly seasoned and brought on some well pronounced flavors. The savory gnocchi, cream, and feta cheese maintained a delicate balance to the slightly sweet butternut squash. The risotto tasted great as well, but was slightly undercooked. They also let us sample some moscato which was a nice touch. CH turned out better than I expected it to be and I would return at some point on the future although there are few vegetarian options.

    We have dined at 2 Coopers' in Oak Lawn and Oak Park, but we have family that lives near Algonquin, so we took a trip and gathered there for Valentine's Day lunch. We arrived on time and were offered the chance to sit but decided to wait til our party arrived. The lobby and tasting room are about the same, but seemed smaller than the other locations. When our party arrived we sat at a nice round table. Gianna our waitress came and greeted us with good humor, jokes, and graciousness! I got the sparkling flight since it was V-Day, and we shared the Brussel sprouts and lettuce wraps as appetizers. It was busy and full but not packed at 2:30pm. I ordered the lunch portion of the pork chop with mashed potatoes and broccoli and of COURSE the pretzel bread! We took some home as well. I enjoyed the flight but was hoping to have it with my entree. It took a while for us to be asked for our entrees, and I was just about out of my flight, so I ordered another glass of wine (not sure which one) to go with lunch. The special dessert was a coffee flavored brownie with pistachio gelato. We were given multiple spoons and a huge portion and it was SO good! It is a long ways away from where we live, so I would prob only return to this location for a special occasion, or if I'm in the area. I would definitely ask for Gianna if I go back!

    Food great- salty though Service- amazing Ambiance- beautiful. Went it for dinner with my husband and loved it.

    Plenty of tops.

    We came here for a birthday party and Joel & crew in the back private room were amazing. The food was delicious as usual and was served fresh and hot. I really enjoyed the fries that came with the cheeseburger. For the kids, the entreés were served buffet style, so that made for easy access for the parents and quick eating for the kids. As far as price goes, I don't know what it cost for the private room and menu. I do know, from eating in the dining room that you should expect to spent $20-$40 for an entree and a dinner for two with drinks and tip will run you $150 min. If you're a food connoisseur and you want something a step up from a Chili's, you can get that here. Add some wine and you're good to go. Though it's a little overpriced for the food, the food is prepared well and has the flavors. I think that the prices reflect the high-quality service and the ambience. If you're looking for a bite, but don't really care... I'd skip this place and hit up one of the other sit-down restaurants across and/or down the street. Your dollar will go longer. Last thought - This is a great place to celebrate a special milestone or get your wine fix. I hope to be back soon.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch. Our services was prompt and friendly. Food came out in a timely manner. It's beautifully decorated inside. The wine is delicious. I typically visit the South Barrington location. This was a nice little change up.

    My first Cooper's Hawk experience--talk about sensory overload! I went on a Friday night and the place was packed and loud. The parking lot was full and I had to park the equivalent of two blocks away. A table wasn't ready even though we had a reservation, but after only a little waiting we were able to snag bars seats and have up the reservation. (I've heard of others having to wait 45 minutes past their reservation time). I had a burger and it was tasty. The bartender who took our order was friendly. I would go back, but probably not on a weekend. I don't drink wine, and while the food was good, it didn't stand out enough to make having to wait in an extremely loud crowd worth it.

    Sad excuse for fruit as your side with sandwich
    Sue M.

    I have been here several times. A main attraction is the selection of wine. The service is always perfect. I have had the prime rib sandwich several times, which is always good. However DO NOT order fruit in lieu of the french fries. Photo shown of what you will get. Really expected better for a restaurant with these prices.

    Cheeseburger ordered Medium

    For $18 this is what a medium cheeseburger from Cooper's hawk will look like, honestly I could've asked my father to make me a medium burger and it still wouldn't of come out as burnt. This was like biting into a lump of charcoal. I'm not even trying to be nit picky but I'm not ordering a filet or salmon I'm ordering a regular cheeseburger.

    Burrata Bruschetta
    Miranda L.

    CH Wine O'Clock Review! This is my second time visiting a Coopers Hawk for the happy hour specials. It seems the menu has been paired down quite a bit but items on this menu are special offerings that aren't found on the standard menu. We sampled both the Blending Session wines which seem to rotate monthly. The white was a bit sweet for my preference so we decided to split the Vin Velouté. For food, we started with the Four Cheese Truffle Arancini & Burrata Bruschetta off the HH menu. They were a good shareable portion for two people! We also tried the Roasted Vegetable & Goat Cheese Flatbread which was delicious! The restaurant itself is newer and beautifully designed. Our server was very kind but towards the end was checking in a lot which felt like he was subtly pushing us to leave. Either way, I do love the offerings at CH and enjoy that their happy hour is back!

    Ashley B.

    Cozy!!! Bar area seating here is what I prefer. Less stingy feeling than the main room. The chicken giardianara was delicious. Alcohol free options. They should really bring back the alcohol free wine, it's just a nice tradition for people who can't drink. I think it's insane they only have 3 bathroom stalls for the size of this place. I had to wait in line every time. Also...please simmer down on the sales lingo for the membership. Not everyone needs a wine fucking membership ALRIGHT?

The place feels--especially in the summer time--like sitting on a European street. The food is always tasty (the deviled eggs especially), the drinks are creative.

More often than not, you're looking at another tavern-cut pie, a dozen televisions screaming sports highlights, and a menu designed by committee. Safe. Predictable. Forgettable. Then there's Woodfire. I ended up here with my family celebrating my son's second birthday and was immediately reminded that every now and then, hidden among the endless strip malls and chain restaurants of the Chicago suburbs, you'll stumble across a place that actually gives a damn. The Vodka Pizza arrived looking almost too good to touch. Almost. Hot Calabrian vodka sauce. Fresh mozzarella. Shallot. Pepperoni. Ricotta. Basil. A combination that sounds familiar enough until that first bite lands and the heat punches through. Not the fake, watered-down, suburban version of spicy that restaurants use to avoid frightening anyone. This pizza has conviction. It has backbone. The Calabrian peppers make their presence known immediately and refuse to apologize for it. Good. Food should have an opinion. The crust, charred, blistered, beautifully imperfect, comes from house-made dough cooked in a wood-fired oven that sits like the beating heart of the restaurant. Every pie carries those little marks of fire that remind you an actual human being made it. Not a conveyor belt. Not a timer. Fire. Flour. Skill. And speaking of things that deserve respect, let's talk about the bar. Kevin has become something of a local legend in Dundee. The kind of bartender whose name gets mentioned before the cocktail list. The kind of guy who understands that making drinks isn't about pouring alcohol into a glass. It's hospitality, theater, craftsmanship, and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. Still chasing the heat from the pizza, I ordered the Spicy Flamingo. A dangerous drink. Sweet enough to invite you in. Spicy enough to keep you paying attention. The kind of cocktail that disappears faster than you intended and leaves you contemplating a second before the first one is gone. Around us, bussers moved through the dining room like a pit crew at Daytona. Tables were cleaned before they looked dirty. Empty glasses vanished. New guests were seated. The machine never stopped moving. Then there's Chef Mason. It's obvious someone in that kitchen understands the difference between cooking food and feeding people. There's technique here. Knowledge. Discipline. But thankfully none of the self-important nonsense that infects so many restaurants once they start believing their own press. Woodfire isn't trying to change your life. It's not trying to educate you. It's not trying to be the coolest restaurant in the room. Like Ferris Bueller, it understands that life moves pretty fast. So instead of chasing trends, it focuses on making exceptional handmade pizza, memorable pasta, serious cocktails, and creating a place where people actually want to spend an evening. In a world full of restaurants desperately trying to be something, Woodfire succeeds by simply being exactly what it is. And that's a hell of a lot rarer than it should be.
