New reviewer. Decided I will start showing how far I got with the food. This was the most I've eaten in a while. Solid 4.5/5 on the short ribs. Wine is always on point. read more

Toasted artisanal bread topped with Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, sweet basil, and a generous balsamic glaze drizzle. Simple, fresh, and bursting with flavor.

Elite Pro-Tips for Your Visit: Reservations Are a Must: This location gets packed heavily due to its prime I-Drive positioning. Book well in advance, especially for weekend dinner slots.

Take a Bottle Home: Grab a bottle of your favorite wine from the tasting room on your way out to enjoy later! read more

We've visited Cooper's Hawk on I-Drive multiple times, and while the kitchen still delivers high quality, other aspects of the experience have slipped. The Good (The Food): Dinner was excellent. The calamari appetizer was fresh, well-seasoned, and crisp without being oily. The standout of the night was the filet medallions paired with lobster--tender, flavorful, and paired beautifully. The culinary team consistently does great work here. Areas for Improvement: Hostess Service: The greeting at the front door sets the tone for the evening, and unfortunately, the hostess team lacked proper customer service. A little attentiveness and a professional, welcoming attitude would go a long way. Wine Tasting: Having done tastings here before, this visit felt underwhelming. The wine selection seems dialed back and isn't quite as diverse or impressive as it used to be. Overall, come for the filet, lobster, and great entrees, but keep expectations tempered for the tasting bar and the front desk greeting. read more

I had heard great things about this brand restaurant and everything I heard was on point. We decided to go for lunch about a month ago and really enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food. We found it not to be a tourist trap, as some I-Drive restaurants are and a true winner for locals and visitors. Highly recommend. Food was hot and very tasteful. We had soup, appetizer and meals from the lunch selections. read more

Although to this spot is a little pricey, it's because it is so upscale. If you are looking for a nice date night spot, or somewhere fancy to celebrate a special night, you may want to consider CoopersHawk. We had the squash gnocchi and wedge salad. Both were fresh and flavorful. It's also worth noting that the portions are VERY large and big enough to share. We actually started with a wine tasting, which I highly recommend. The servers for both the tasting and the meal were very friendly and attentive. We actually were told about the membership privileges and decided to sign-up. We were also allowed to bring a celebration cake for a friend's birthday. I definitely recommend this spot and also suggest membership. If you do decide to stop in, I suggest coming early for a tasting and/or a reservation if you want to have a lovely meal. read more

This place is very chic and absolutely a place to enjoy a fine meal if you're looking for a place that is a bit upscale, but still okay to come to after a day at the parks or outlet malls. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, there is an attempt to sell you on their wine club, which is a great deal if you're a wine drinker and live near enough that you can take advantage of it every month. However there was no high pressure sales pitch so don't let that put you off. The food came out fast and, with one exception, fresh. My burger tasted amazing, although the bun was very stale to the point where I just pulled the burger apart and ate it without the bun. The carbonara is more an Alfredo than a carbonara but was still very tasty. All in all, a solid place to stop in at and we'll probably try it again someday. read more

Cooper's hawk is such an amazing experience. Me and my boyfriend recently became members of the wine club and it was 10/10 worth it. You get 2 free bottles of wine, a complimentary glass of wine when you dined and you get 2 free wine tastings a month. It was definitely worth the membership. They have different tiers but we wanted to save all of our sweet treats until dinner. When we first arrived and after waiting for our table. We decided to redeem our free tastings. We had three options and were able to choose one wine tasting out of the three. We got to try 8 different wines and took 2 of those wines home for free. Such a great experience At the dinner table we decided to redeem or two glasses of wine while we waited for our appetizers. We We ordered calamari, salmon , dumplings and omggg everything we ordered was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The mashed potatoes were also really good and don't get me started on the salmon. This was the first time me and my boyfriend actually sat down together ate at Cooper's hawk for dinner so I really enjoyed this experience. The ambiance of course is extremely beautiful and the service was also amazing. Everything was on point and everyone was also so nice. Me and my boyfriend will definitely be back for another round of excellence. read more

As long-time Ambassador members originally from the Chicago area, Cooper's Hawk has been a staple for our family for over 15 years. We have been incredibly loyal patrons over the years, which is why it is disappointing to write this review regarding our experience at the iDrive location. Tonight's service fell far below the standard we have come to expect, particularly on a night that was not busy. The timeline of our meal was highly inconsistent: Service Gaps: We sat with empty glasses for 10+ minutes on two separate occasions. Pacing Issues: Appetizers took roughly 30 minutes to arrive, and our main entrées took an additional 45 minutes. Food Quality: Because of the kitchen and (or) service delays, the entrées had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for an extended period, resulting in one of the dishes in our party arriving at room temperature. While we know Ambassador status doesn't necessarily come with significant perks, it does reflect a long history of brand loyalty. Over the past six months, the service at this specific location has been hit-or-miss, but tonight was a definitive miss. I sincerely hope management addresses these operational issues so the location can return to the high standards we know Cooper's Hawk is capable of. read more

Amazing dinner as always! For a Friday night, I was shocked that the wine tasting wasn't busy. Place was quiet and great night to enjoy with friends! Had a great server, Trey! Tried the new barbacoa arancini anf it was delicious! I got the Dana's chicken as it never disappoints. The new summer peach butter cake was a perfect dessert and my new fave! I hope it stays on the menu! read more

We had such a fun friend night out to Cooper's Hawk on Tuesday night complete with a Variety Wine Tasting and then followed by an amazing dinner! We did the wine tasting standing at the bar and the girl who helped us was so friendly and explained each wine. After that we moved to our table for dinner. We split the Caprese Flatbread and it was the perfect size to share. I loved the Balsamic drizzle that was on the flatbread. The real star of the show though was my Gnocchi Alla Vodka. It was SO delicious and is a dish that I would come back for specifically. I can't wait to come back with my husband on a date night so he can try it all for himself! read more

I love Cooper's Hawk. Every time I come here, I am always happy with the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. We went last night for a birthday party and had a party of at least 15. We had multiple waiters and they all took such amazing care of us. There wasn't ever a point where glasses were empty and dishes were waiting to be removed from the table. I got my usual, the thai chicken lettuce wraps and they were incredible. I love how much food they give you considering this is an appetizer. I always take half home so I can eat it for lunch the next day. read more

This was my first time at this location of Coopers Hawk!! I am a club member but had never been to this location before. The wine tasting area here is huge!! And I loved how they had the wine tasting stations set up and that you could just walk up to an empty glass to claim a spot! The food was good, as it always is! And our waitress was so incredibly friendly!! She made us laugh and it was so fun!! Always love having a good experience at a Coopers Hawk!! read more

I came here while visiting Orlando over the weekend because of their $5 bubbles brunch. It was a little busy in there due to the winery area and the restaurant itself. I sat at the bar at started with the $5 white sangria that was apart of the brunch menu. It was nice and refreshing. I also grabbed a basic mimosa with orange juice and they brought out some complementary bread. Would come back again to check out their happy hour specials. read more

Earlier this week my friends and I went out for a belated birthday celebration! We started off with a wine tasting and then had a dinner reservation afterwards. The staff that was doing the wine tasting was not as attentive or friendly as they usually are but dinner was a much better experience with our server Facundo. He have us great recommendations for food items and was very attentive to us with refills, checking in on us before and after we received our food, and checking us out quickly at the end of the night. I ended up ordering the chicken burger which ended up being nice and juicy! Paired with the garlic mayo it was gone in seconds. We all shared the Summer Peach Butter Cake which gave more blackberry than peach but was still super tasty! I do really enjoy coming to this place, and it's always got a chill atmosphere so I'll be sure to be back! read more

This location was jumpin jumpin on a Wednesday night. It was full!!! There was a 15-20 minute wait for the table even though we had a reservation. We wanted to do the wine tasting (first timers) the area where it is hosted was crowded and there was only 1 person pouring last night so we didn't end up doing it (they close at 9 M-T) We were seated and we had the best service from our waiter, Tre. He did tell us about the 2 free wine samples so we tried 2 and ordered immediately. The pretzel bread and that butter I ordered the chicken piccata and it was so damn good !!!! I ended up ordering the Scarletto my friend sampled and it was delish. It reminded me of Roscato but better lol idc for sweet wines but it was good. We are already planning our next trip to CH to try the wine tasting. I'll prob get the same dish again. Also, they were playing the besttttt music !!! read more

Went for lunch with family and everything was delicious. I got the bleu cheese burger and it was perfectly cooked to medium and the bleu cheese was not overpowering, fries were also crispy and delicious. We also order the seasonal arancini for the appetizer and it was filled with beef and was great to sample for 3 people. Service was also good with our main server being more busy but still getting everything in an orderly fashion, would recommend this place for lovers of wine and delicious food! read more

Now that the hotel is closed things are much easier at this location. I imagine it's harder for the business though. We went for Mother's Day brunch and I have to say our server was amazing even though they loaded every single table in her section at open because everyone had brunch reservations. I like the brunch menu and even though the kitchen must have been slammed our food came out in a timely manner. read more

We chose this restaurant for my mom's birthday. I'd give it about a 3.5. Walking in to the restaurant was a beautiful winery esque vibe, but omg it was so loud! In the front area as well as the dining area. We had a reservation for 8 but arrived about 7:45. We were seated shortly after 8. There were a lot of people waiting and this was a Thursday night, so I'd say reservations are necessary. Now for the food - I didn't take a picture of the true star of the show, but the bread was amazing! Very soft and fluffy and it was warm. The egg rolls were pretty tasty, and I enjoyed the chunky green sauce, as well as the ranch on the side. For my entree, I had the Parmesan crusted chicken and it was decent once I added salt. I liked the thin cut of the chicken. The mashed potatoes were great. Very creamy. I also chose the broccolini which was ok. There was a little sauce on the bottom of the dish that had a lemony flavor which helped the broccolini a bit. My mom had the steak and shrimp. Portion size was tinyyyy. But the steak was cooked perfectly and she really enjoyed the bacon wrapped shrimp. For dessert, we got a chocolate cake that was tender and not too chocolate forward. read more

Very vibrant, and fun wine tasting area which I could see being a great reason to come back. We did order a few bottles to take home and check out was separate from the tasting area and expeditions. The restaurant experience was a bit mixed as someone at my table specifically ordered a flight of non-alcohol wines and they included a riesling in error!!! Who serves both on the same flight???? It was a multitude of errors from the server, the bartender and the drink runner who just dropped off the drinks and disappeared without even telling us which ones were which. Our sober friend was mortified. I ordered the gnocchi which came from a local referral and I agree it was spectacular. read more

I'm kinda meh on this experience... The ambiance was on point, prices on the brunch menu were pretty good, no major issues on service (it did take about an hour for food to come out, but it was a large group). It's that the food was just ok, and I'd put up with a hole in the wall and slightly rude staff if the food is amazing. I ate it all so I can't say it was bad, but I wouldn't order it again. Part of it is that I've never had that much sauce in a "hash"? (Brisket hash was what I ordered). I suspect that the sauce is the hide the scarcity of the actual meat in the dish, but I have no way of proving my theory. Definitely took a pic, judge for yourself. read more

The food was delicious! I had the chicken picatta with mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad. Our server was Danielle. She was so helpful. It was my first time eating there so I asked her what was good. After dinner we did the wine tasting with Xena. She was great at explaining the options and had an amazing personality! Would definitely return. The 1 missing star is from when we were sitting at the bar, the bartender with the Karen hair cut was rude when we decided to switch to a table. She just turned her back to us. read more

Our daughter introduced us to Cooper's Hawk (CH) when she lived in Virginia a few years ago. So when my wife was visiting our daughter and grandson, Cooper's Hawk came up. She was looking forward to drinking their rhubarb wine, and getting a bottle or two, that she can't find elsewhere. After I picked my wife up from the airport, we made our way to CH for a late lunch. Our first impressions were mixed. As always, the entry was inviting and the counter was packed with people sampling their various offerings. Problem was, there was no way to tell where to go for dining in. There was no hostess to greet us so we were looking for servers to direct us where to get seated. I was actually contemplating leaving until someone finally came out. The hostess checked with someone and then she led us to the bar area, not asking if we were good sitting in that area which turned out to be loud. We were presented the menu and, knowing what we wanted to order after perusing it online, my wife ordered the Leonard Burger ($19.99) and I tried the Chicken Giardiniera ($24.99). My wife also ordered a glass of rhubarb wine...only to be told they don't have that and they've actually discontinued it. Of course the website still has rhubarb wine available. The server had us try their strawberry rhubard wine instead but that has too strong of a strawberry taste. It took a long while before our meals were served, something like 20-25 minutes! Good thing our server provided delicious bread with butter. My wife liked her burger, commenting how the patties were smaller than the bun but thick and flavorful. The fries were hot and crispy. The pickled dill, while huge, wasn't cold nor crispy. My dish was decent, with a slight hint of vinegar. I wasn't expecting it to be soupy but it was good. All in all, with the loud bar area, the very long wait for our meals and the rhubard wine, my wife has been looking forward, to not being available this was a less than positive experience for us. So much so that we joked it probably would've been better if we just went straight to the COSTCO for their hotdog meals. Although we later found out COSTCO Business Centers don't have food courts! Lunch for 2 (no wine) with tip came out to $56. read more

IMPT. UPDATE: Went back to exchange, and I was gifted extra wine and a sincere apology hug! Love you C.H! Ok... lesson learned: never go to a wine pickup right before a holiday. Today was not the vibe. As a wine club member myself, I stopped by to pick up my bottles--and wow, some fellow members were downright inconsiderate. On the "quick pickup" side (key word: quick), one member decided this was the perfect moment to browse the entire wine list... slowly... selecting bottles one by one. Ten bottles later, the line was 12 impatient people deep. On the other side, another couple--clearly fresh from the restaurant, half-empty bottle in hand--parked themselves at the counter for a solid 20 minutes asking questions and browsing the menu. The employee was entertaining them as if there wasn't a whole line of people just trying to grab wine and go. I'm all for great customer service, but a pickup counter isn't meant for extended wine consultations. It holds up everyone else, especially on a holiday week rush. And the best part? When it was finally my turn, the employee rushed through me to get to the rest of the line... and handed me the wrong wine. So instead of Winter Red & Winter White (perfect for mulling tomorrow), I came home with Light & Bright Red & White. Didn't notice until I got home--ugh! Now I either have to go back to Cooper's Hawk tomorrow... or make a last-minute Publix run for mulling wine. No love lost for my Cooper's Hawk, but, not my best visit today! read more

This location of coopers had excellent service that was accommodating to my parties needs. The waiter was attentive and gave excellent recommendations. food was served quick and fresh. Food wise, we got a few things to share with the table and a few entrees including: drunken shrimp, house made meatballs, gnocchi carbonara, Parmesan crusted mahi, key lime pie for dessert. I could rave about the drunken shrimp. First time having bacon wrapped shrimp and it exceeded all expectations. I still dream about this appetizer. The meatballs were very yummy, but I wish there was more in the dish. The gnocchi was so delicious, and I really enjoyed my mahi! The Parmesan crusted had a beautiful bite to it and the fish itself tasted fresh. The key lime pie was small, but I was so full by the end of my meal so it was the perfect size. Perfect blend of sweat and sour. The cooper hawks moscato wine was one of the best I've had. The restaurant itself had a beautiful atmosphere and ambiance. Felt very upscale even though it is surprisingly affordable with large entree portions. read more

Always a smart decision to stop for lunch at our favorite restaurant. Service is always on point, food is always flavorful, and bonus points for always being able to find something for our two picky kids to eat (cheese flatbread pizza and pretzel bread for the win!)

Cooper's Hawk completely delivered on an amazing birthday experience. From start to finish, everything was perfect, tasty and well-executed. The pretzel bread and butter was such a fun start to the meal. It's simple but addictive and sets the tone perfectly. Who can say no to warm pretzels? Not me. The egg roll appetizer was excellent and honestly one of the highlights. Crispy, flavorful, and packed with just the right balance of ingredients. If you go, do not skip this. (period) For the main course, the short rib with mashed potatoes was outstanding. The meat was tender and rich, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and full of flavor. The plate came with the sprinkling of fried onions and a few stalks of asparagus to round it out. It's one of those dishes that feels comforting and elevated at the same time. And then there's dessert. The chocolate cake was decadent and absolutely worth saving room for. Rich, moist, and paired perfectly with the presentation. If you don't like cake, the ice cream was also quite yummy. Cooper's Hawk is definitely a spot I'll return to. If you're looking for a place that nails both food and experience, this is it. Be sure to grab a reservation because it's definitely busy! read more

My family was in town, so we took them to Cooper's Hawk in Orlando -- one of my favorite spots, especially since I'm a member! We used two of our complimentary wine tastings, and our sommelier, Kharis, was absolutely wonderful. She made us feel so welcome and even let my mom try a few extra wines since we were celebrating her birthday. Such a thoughtful touch! After the tasting, we stayed for dinner and had an excellent experience. Samantha was our server and she was fantastic -- very communicative, attentive, and gave great recommendations. None of my family had been to a Cooper's Hawk before, and they were blown away. We started with a few appetizers: the Classic Tomato Bruschetta, Chicken Potstickers, and Sweet Chili Calamari -- all delicious. My husband and I shared the Crab, Shrimp & Lobster Bisque, which is one of our absolute favorites. For entrées, we had the Shrimp & Scallop Risotto and Ellie's Chicken Piccata, both outstanding. My parents and brother really enjoyed their meals as well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Amazing service, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. My family left thoroughly impressed -- Cooper's Hawk never disappoints! read more

We stopped into Cooper's Hawk for a late lunch, and it turned out to be the perfect casual dining experience. Importantly in that area, there was plenty of free parking in a large lot behind the restaurant. It was a beautiful day in Orlando, so we chose to sit outside. The patio was shaded, comfortable, and a great spot to relax. I did take a peek inside and loved the vibe of their Napa-style tasting room and wine shop. It's definitely a cool place to hang out and enjoy a glass or two, but today was only about lunch for us. I ordered the pretzel-crusted pork chop, and it did not disappoint. Even though it was the lunch portion, it was plenty of food. The maple glaze added the perfect touch of sweetness, the mashed potatoes were rich and buttery, and the roasted broccolini was cooked perfectly. The bits of candied bacon were a flavorful addition. Our server was super friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with, which made the meal even better. We already have another trip to Orlando planned this month, and Cooper's Hawk is definitely on our list to visit again. Cheers! read more

This was my first time going to Cooper's Hawk for brunch and it did not disappoint. We were nervous it would be crazy on Easter Sunday, but they were on schedule for all reservations. They even had an Easter bunny roaming around to tables, I thought that was kind of fun. What I liked best was the menu/options. They had their typical brunch menu, their dinner menu and a special menu for Easter, so everyone could find something they were in the mood for. We started with some drinks and warm pretzel bread with butter. Then I went with breakfast. I got 2 eggs, maple sausage and parmesan smashed potatoes, everything was good! My wife went with dinner (haha). She really enjoyed her pistachio crusted grouper with broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes. We can't wait to go back! read more

What a great experience and it's all due to the fantastic service by our wine steward, Chelsi!!! My neighbors invited me to a wine tasting here as they are Club members. We decided to do the Lux Tasting menu for an upcharge of $5.33 each (Club member price) and we were so glad we did. We received 8 tastings and could select the recommended wines or switch over to the back of the menu for selections we could choose instead of the recommended tasting. The main reason this tasting was five stars (and way above other businesses I've experienced) was the expert service by Chelsi!! (International Drive management, please recognize this individual!) Not only was she personable, friendly and easy to relate to, but her knowledge of the wine selections available was also impeccable!! We arrived a little before 1pm and she attended to us as if she was our own personal sommelier. She discussed our preferences for taste, sweetness and red or white varieties and recommended an appropriate sample, when applicable. She knew the ingredients of the wine, the flavor and taste sensations and the appropriate appeal based on our input as to preference. We could not have experienced a better wine steward than had we visited an actual winery. Kudos to Ms. Chelsi! We then stopped for some appetizers at the bar (the brussels sprouts, the beef sandwich and the chicken dumplings were outstanding), along with two more bottle of the Cooper's Hawk Cabernet Sauvignon to finish our afternoon adventure. Although our overall afternoon experience was five stars, we all agreed Chelsi was the key to this fantastic afternoon. My friends who were Club members stated, "we cannot remember when we have had such great service here". And that, my friends, says it all! read more

It's been a long time since I've been back to CH, but everything was still as I remembered. It was a packed Saturday night at the wine tasting bar, so my 2 friends and I waited about 30 minutes. We tried 8 different sweet wines. They were nice and fruity so I enjoyed them all, except for the riesling which was flat compared to the others. There was a strawberry rhubarb wine that we tried and that was probably my favorite. We had a dinner reservation right afterwards so the timing was perfect. We were greeted by our server as soon as we were seated. I wish I had remembered his name, but he was friendly and attentive to our table checking in on us frequently. He saw on our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, so he brought some truffles at the end of our meal. For our meals, the 3 of us ordered the surf and turf. I usually enjoy the soy ginger salmon entree but chose the filet medallions and salmon this time and everything was delicious. I ordered my filet medium well and it came out perfectly. The vegetables were grilled well done how I like it and the mashed potatoes were just enough. I felt like my salmon portion was small, but maybe it was because I was used to the entree portion of the salmon. For our beverage, we shared a pitcher of white sangria that we couldn't even finish, but it went fantastic with our meals. Overall, we had a great time. The vibe went well with all the people that were there. We couldn't have chosen a better place. But then again, you can't go wrong with a wine tasting and dinner with friends. read more

So I'm late putting the review, but a group of us attended a birthday dinner for two friends. Getting seated, menus, drinks, and food were no problem. Within the group, three of us received our food in a good timely fashion. However, a friend received their food which she was not happy with. The sandwich she ordered took longer than any other plate. The sandwich ordered didn't have the avocado which was requested. When the waitress bought the avocado, it was more like guacamole than the avocado slices (although it wasn't specified what they had). Our group has been to Cooper's Hawk at several other locations and this was the first disappointment. read more

Cooper's Hawk and Yard House are my two favorite chain restaurants. The $17.99 brussel sprouts here are the best that you can get at any chain restaurant. Everything I've ever had here is well above average and certainly atop the chain restaurant rankings. For my main entrée I had the $22.99 The Prime which is basically a French dip. This location is massive. I didn't even walk around the entire other side of the restaurant. The bar area is to the left after walking in. I should probably come here a lot more often than I do. read more

One and done It's a no for me at Cooper's Hawk Orlando. The atmosphere was extremely loud and disorganized, which completely threw off the evening. We literally couldn't hear ourselves think or have a conversation amongst ourself at the table. When I made the reservation, I expected a more upscale and relaxed vibe, but what I experienced was the opposite. The food itself was just okay nothing memorable to make up for the chaos. The bisque soup wasn't freshly made, tastes like it came out of a can. To top it off, when getting my friend's car from valet, one of the attendants made a rude comment implying we didn't tip, even though my friend had already tipped the valet who retrieved the car. Completely unprofessional. Overall, a one-and-done experience for me. I won't be returning. read more

I love wine so I did the wine tasting at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant. I like that they have sweet, semi-sweet, and variety selections. I opted for the sweet wine because I like more flavor. I tried 8 different wines. They were all good! The bartenders were friendly and knew their wines. They were good at explaining the different flavors and selections. The bar area for wine tasting is first come, first serve, so it was crowded by the time I got there. I suggest getting there early if you want to grab a good spot. They do tastings all day every day so going during the week might be a better option if you want to avoid crowds. I went on a Friday and even though it was crowded, the vibe was nice. This is a great place to chill for a couple of hours and its not expensive. You honestly cant go wrong!! read more
