I never thought I would drive almost two hours to have brunch, but I did. Our little wine group decided to make a little trip to Madison to try this new restaurant. We went there a month after they opened. First off it's a beautiful building. The inside was beautifully decorated. The vibe in there was so awesome. I highly suggest making reservation reservations. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy. Our waiter was Tyler C and he was incredible. He had told us he had worked at different locations and that he had just moved to Alabama recently. His knowledge of the menu was impressive. All four of us told him what kind of wines we liked and he each brought us samples. I ended up going with the sweet Red. Even though it was brunch time, I was feeling like lunchtime. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. It had some ricotta on top that really just sealed the deal for me. It was so delicious and it was a lunch portion, which was perfect. I did pair that with the sweet red wine. Since this is my first time coming here, I of course, had been looking at the menu for several days. Anything salted caramel I want and they had a salted caramel crème brûlée it was euphoric. Probably the best crème brûlée I've ever had. And I must say the bathrooms were very clean and I visited it about twice. This will definitely be on my list to come visit again. I hope we get one in Birmingham soon. read more

I had high expectations for Cooper's Hawk - but they fell very short of those. To start: the dress code is casual. A lot of people were in jeans, leggings, and sweatshirts. I expected more fancy so we were dressed business casual. The ambiance is VERY dark (as reflected through the photos) and VERY, VERY, loud. Even our server commented on that when trying to take our order. There was a screaming kid at another table too so that was a little off-putting - though not the restaurants fault. The best part of the experience was the Strawberry-Elderflower Vivant. We were offered house wine and given the tour, but I don't drink so we got the sparkling Vivant instead and it was absolutely amazing. We ended up buying 2 bottles on the way out (although the price up front was cheaper than it was on the menu). Our appetizer was the sausage and burrata flatbread. This tasted really good - could have had more burrata but the flavor was amazing. We both got the Surf & Turf with different options. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was way overcooked. I also got the soy glazed salmon, wasabi mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables. My husband got Chimichuri flank steak, grouper, regular mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables. The star of both dishes was the vegetables. Nothing was seasoned and everything was bland - and I mean I added so much table salt. The plating was subpar as well. The wasabi mashed potatoes I ordered were the same mashed potatoes as the regular, with just a glob of horseradish (not wasabi) cream on top. We were celebrating our anniversary so they gave us 2 truffles to end our meal. The review was a 2 until we got these - they were very good. Overall, really disappointed in the food. The wine and truffles were amazing, and the ambiance was just so-so. Definitely a good place to enjoy wine, do a tasting, and maybe have an appetizer but I wouldn't spend money on an entree. They are overpriced for what you get. We will however, be coming back for the Vivant!! read more

Overall, i really wasn't impressed. Made reservations for my mom's birthday. It was a party of 4 of us, we ordered an app, my mom had a glass of wine. We had to ask for bread, our food took an hour and 8 mins from ordering to be served. The manager came and apologized and said it was the risotto that was taking so long. Our food finally came out, and my mom only saw one scallop in the risotto, so she asked and the server said he would get her an extra order.. she found another in the risotto hidden under the risotto. The picture attached is the "extra" scallops for the dish. The parmesan crusted mahi mahi had great flavor, but it was very overcooked? Gladly it was served with lemon because it was very dry. The bettys potatoes were delicious. The pretzel crusted pork chop and the pretzel coating had a good crunch, but needed more of the broccolini to cut the sweetness of the crust, or something, it was just missing maybe some salt? It was decent, but nothing to write home about. Overall the best dish of the night was the burrata tomato bruschetta. Our waiter did keep our drinks full, but was very hit or miss with the service, It was decent loud for it to be an upscale type restaurant. Overall I'm bot sure if we will be back, it wasn't something I would be proud to take others too. read more

Came back and had an amazing time!!!! Food blew me (and my family who were first timers) away! Everything was piping hot, our server was soooo nice, I think her name was Taylor. We came around 3:30 pm on a Friday and it wasn't very busy but we caught happy hour. I will say their lemonades were EXTREMELY tart to us, so if you like yours sweet you may want to choose another option to drink. However I will always come back! read more

Do not go here if you expect any sort of acknowledgement or attention. We sat at the sit-down bar (they have another bar without chairs by the entrance) for over 30 minutes and never saw a server/bartender greet us or provide menus. It's packed and the "winning team" corporate typically brings in to open a new shop is in pitiful shape. This place is a waste of your time. read more

Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Sit down bar. - American Near Me - Madison, Alabama

We saw construction on this restaurant go up pretty quickly, but was happy to finally try it out. Luckily the restaurant takes reservations because on a Friday afternoon, it was pretty packed. The restaurant itself is very pretty and decorated nicely. It is a nice size with decent lighting and has a welcoming atmosphere. It also has outside seating. When you first walk in, we noticed a large crowd doing wine tastings and later found out through our lovely waitress Jamie, that they offer wine tastings and a wine club that you could join. There are different levels and each level has a different price. As far as food, they have a good sized menu so I am sure everyone will be able to find something they like. For appetizers, we ordered the chicken potstickers and the Italian sausage flatbread with whipped burrata. Both dishes were served hot and were seasoned pretty good. For dinner, we ordered crab, shrimp, & lobster bisque, which was really delicious and had nice sized chunks of meat. In addition, we ordered the baked Parmesan shrimp scampi and Dana's Parmesan crusted chicken with green beans. Both dishes were delicious and well proportioned. We were so stuffed from the appetizers and our dinner that we didn't have any room left to try their desserts. So definitely will have to try that out next time along with their wine tastings. Lastly, it appears that they do have a decent happy hour menu with discounted food and drinks so will definitely have to come back and try that as well. All in all, great visit and will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

This restaurant has only been open for a month and such a great addition to Madison. When you first enter the restaurant, you see the wine tasting bar and gift shop area. There are so many wines to choose from for the tasting. You can select red, white or international tastings. The samples they serve you are larger than most and you try 8 different wines. Great price too... $14 for 8 glasses. We actually came in for brunch and just want to say that the service was above and beyond. Tyler took time to get to know his customer's likes and brought us out a few glasses of wine that he thought we may like. We all enjoyed the selections he chose for each of us. Now the food... Everything was scratch made and absolutely fantastic. The steak and eggs with shrimp Oscar was superb. Scrambled eggs were light, the potatoes were cooked just right and the steak was delicious, not dried out. We had nothing but positive reviews for this brunch. We are already talking about going back next month... Just wish it were a little closer. read more

The service and ambiance was excellent when going. I have gone twice and each time have been overly impressed with how easy and welcoming the experience has been. The first time I had a reservation and was seated within 5 minutes, this was the weekend after opening weekend. Our server was knowledgeable and had many great recommendations, which led us to the egg rolls ! HIGHLY worth !!! The second time was an impromptu girls night on a Saturday around 7:30. We were quoted a 35 minute wait, and only waited maybe 10 minutes max. The food has been flavorful each and every time, and everyone has been so attentive and helpful. The only complaint I have, is the restaurant can get quite loud when full. Will definitely be going back ! read more

We had a reservation but the check-in experience really set the tone in a bad way. We waited almost 10 minutes just to check in, with only one party ahead of us, while 6-8 people stood behind the hostess stand. No greeting, no acknowledgment. When we finally checked in, we were told it would still be 15-20 minutes after our reservation time. When we were seated, I asked for a corner booth and the hostess visibly rolled her eyes -- not a great look. On the positive side, once we sat down our server came over within a minute or two and was genuinely great. Friendly, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, the food side was mixed. I ordered the braised beef short ribs, literally the reason I came and about 5-10 minutes after ordering, we were told they had run out earlier at lunch. That was a big disappointment. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, but it's pretty loud, and the entire place had a very strong fish odor. We were told it was from marinating calamari, but it was noticeable throughout the dining room. Food-wise: * Chimichurri rubbed steak was underwhelming and lacked flavor * Rigatoni was actually quite good * Kids chicken strips didn't come out until we were already leaving To their credit, the manager came over, apologized for the kids meal delay, and removed it from the bill, which was appreciated. Overall, service was good everywhere except the hostess stand, and our server really did a great job. With better front-of-house management and more consistency from the kitchen, this place could be much better but as it stands, it was a mixed experience. Today we as their GO so I guess I'll give the another shot and hopefully try the braised ribs. read more

Service was good, wine tasting in lobby was a fun way to burn 30 minutes while waiting for table. Ambiance was modern. Unfortunately my fish chef special was overcooked to the point I needed a serrated knife to cut it and it came out room temperature. I ate less than half and should've had it removed from tab. My wife's tenderloin medallion was over smothered in sauce. And too much dressing on wedge salad. Prior experiences at CHs in other towns were much better food wise.. read more

Restaurant manager was very pleasant, welcoming and nice. I believe she set the tone for all service of staff and that alone drives appreciation from the community bringing longtime business. My party began and at the wine bar for a tasting. This was the perfect way to enjoy scenery/ waiting before we were seated prior to reservation with good laughs and greater company. We tried several delicious wines. Overall, My only drawback was the time management by chef in the kitchen. Our appetizers came out within 15 minutes of ordering but entrees took 60 min plus before they made it to the table for a party of 2. Given the restaurant being newly opened and properly accommodated for delay we will be back again. The caramel Macchiato Brownie with pistachio ice cream was to die for MUST ORDER ALERT read more

I really liked it! My wife weren't super hungry, so we decided on 2 appetizers and a main dish between the 2 of us. App 1: drunken shrimp, 3.5/5. It's good, the sauce and guac is good, but not mind blowing. Portion is a bit small. App 2: egg rolls, 4.5/5. We really liked these, and all the sauces they came with. Very filling too for an appetizer. A little bit thinner and crispier batter and it would be a 5/5. Main: surf n turf Parmesan crusted pork chop and seared ahi tuna with Mary's potatoes and fingerling potatoes. Pork chop: best I've ever had, 5/5. Mary's potatoes: solid 4.5/5. Fingerling potatoes were nice 4/5. Ahi tuna, good flavor seasoned well but overcooked for my taste, 3.5/5. The wine prices aren't pretentious either, we enjoyed a whole bottle of wine with our meal and joined the wine club, a really neat perk that I've never seen at a higher end type place like this. Overall our total price including an entire bottle of wine and before tip was like $105. That's pretty awesome read more

The food was outstanding, the ambiance was fun but bougie, but the service... Ms. BRITTANY P. was everything a restaurant should be! Please go visit her and get a wonderful meal! read more

We had dinner here last night and overall had a fantastic experience. We did have a reservation for 3:30 pm but weren't seated until around 5:00, which is a pretty long wait. That said, the wine tasting while we waited was great. The manager, Michael, was especially wonderful, he took the time to walk us through the wines, helped us choose ones we were excited to try, and was incredibly kind and attentive. When we mentioned we were still waiting for a table, he immediately stepped in and got us seated. Our server, I believe his name was Tyler, was also great!! He was friendly, helpful, and fun, which really added to the experience. Michael continued to check in on us throughout the evening, which made us feel very well taken care of. Honestly, the entire experience ended up being worth the wait. The wine was delicious, the food was outstanding, and I still had a great evening with my girlfriend. The restaurant itself is so entertaining that the wait didn't feel as frustrating as it could be. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This location is doing the name an injustice for sure. There is a management issue and I have tried them several times. Long wait to just get water. Servers assigned too many tables. Managers aren't watching the flow. Just not good management that ruins the experience. read more

Eaten here twice. They have some serious kitchen issues, meal was comp by manager but that should have never left the kitchen. Obviously no one is watching the plate before it leaves. Same thing happened first visit. I'll say nice atmosphere but doubt I would dine here again at the price point they need to do better. Food presentation lacks that element as well. Very disappointing, I'm back to j Alexander's for a well done meal. read more

My fiance and I really enjoyed our visit to Cooper Hawk. We started off with drinks and the Over the Border Egg rolls and they were all so good!

The service was great and the ambiance was really nice for our date night. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

Great Kitchen, Consistently Terrible Front-of-House Experience I hate to leave a negative review because the food at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant is truly exceptional--but the service has now been consistently disappointing across multiple visits. Most recently on 15 April 2026, myself and a friend arrived at 7:15pm. My friend was seated promptly in the center section of the high top tables within the bar at 7:18pm, and I arrived at 7:20pm, with four high-top tables on either side of us as well as a total of seven booths along the wall in front of us while the bar was to our backs. From that point on, we were essentially invisible. A staff member named Gabby walked past our table at least 20 times without ever acknowledging us--no greeting, no offer to get our server, not even water or bread. Meanwhile, Gabby brought tasting wines, bread, water, took orders, etc to the individuals in the first four booths as well as took the order of the individuals seated at the high top table to our left. With the exception of one booth couple, all these individuals were seated after us, yet were quickly served with drinks and appetizers. Not once did Gabby attempt to even stop by our table to simply acknowledge our server would be with us or that we existed- just consistently walking by and between the high top tables on either side of us ignoring us. After waiting nearly 30 minutes with no service, we informed the manager, Asia, at 7:45pm that no one had stopped by our table. Our waiter, Greg, didn't come over until 7:55pm--40 minutes after we were seated--just to take our order. I will say, our server Greg ended up being the saving grace of an otherwise horrendous experience. Once he became aware of the situation, he was attentive, took the time to explain the menu, and profusely apologized for the complete lack of recognition we experienced as patrons. Unfortunately, the issues didn't stop there. At 8:07pm, when we asked the bartender, Christine, for ice, we were met with noticeable attitude, which only added to the frustration. What makes this even more disappointing is that this wasn't my first poor experience here. On March 28, 2026, I came in specifically for happy hour and sat at the bar at 3:30pm. Despite there being only three other people seated at the bar and no one else in the bar area, I waited 20 minutes before anyone on the bar staff of three, a woman and two men one with brown hair and the other with dark brown hair, acknowledged me or offered service. They did not offer their names as most do when approaching to offer service at a bar/restaurant. When I was finally approached, the gentleman with the dark brown hair, handed the regular menus and left. After asking the gentleman with brown hair for the happy hour menu, he first stopped to look at his watch before handing it over--which was odd, considering I arrived right at 3:30pm specifically for happy hour and although I waited what seemed like an eternity, it was no where near the close to the 5:30pm end of Happy Hour. It's incredibly disheartening to be treated so poorly, especially when the kitchen is clearly doing such an outstanding job. The quality of the food deserves a much better front-of-house experience. Unfortunately, the repeated lack of service and professionalism has overshadowed what could have been great visits. read more

The restaurant itself was beautiful, but unfortunately the service was mediocre. Our server seemed disengaged and uninterested, as if they were simply going through the motions rather than providing attentive service. The Brussels sprouts were very good; however, both of our entrées were disappointing. We each ordered surf and turf options -- my husband chose the pork chop and grouper, and I selected the churrasco and grouper. Both plates arrived with the meat and fish heavily covered in sauces and placed together on the same plate alongside mashed potatoes and vegetables. The presentation was unappetizing (I wish I had taken a photo). I ultimately asked to have my meal boxed to go. Despite it being a full entrée, it was packed into a small container where the vegetables were mixed into the mashed potatoes and the steak and fish were buried underneath. I asked to speak with the manager and showed her the issue. She said she would take care of it; however, the only change made was transferring the same mixed meal into a larger container. By that point, the fish was soggy and the steak was covered in mashed potatoes. Overall, it was not worth the price, especially for a chain restaurant. There are far better dining options in town. read more

I walked in without a reservation on a Saturday night (the restaurant hasn't even been open a full month yet). The host was able to answer all my questions and even called me over asking if I would like a table that was going to be a no-show. I was able to grab a reservation on Open Table and I was seated quickly. Our server was incredibly attentive to our needs, was extremely patient and was helpful with selecting food items as well as wine. My friend and I stayed until close (four hours) and we never felt rushed. There was a gentleman at the tasting counter that offered to ring me up for my bottle of wine. This restaurant has a great team! read more

Brittany was amazing! She convinced us to get the membership. It was also my husband's birthday. The team was kind enough to give him sweets. My mahi mahi was under cooked but a new plate was made and the management staff came to apologize. Overall 10/10. We'll be back. read more

The service is wonderful. The food is very good. The only ding would be that they sell out of popular items frequently.

First visit, first week open! Overall experience was excellent. Food is made from scratch daily! Great selections and awesome apps! Had the Bruschetta and Pot Stickers.
