Our group of six recently had an absolutely phenomenal dining experience at Copper Spoon in downtown Fort Wayne. We were hosting a special guest visiting from China, so we really wanted the evening to be perfect, and Copper Spoon delivered on every front. The food and drinks were outstanding across the board. We started with fresh oysters and delicious house breads, and our main courses--specifically the ribeyes and the salmon--were cooked to absolute perfection. As great as the food was, the absolute highlight of our evening was our waitress, Kate. She went exceptionally above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of wonderful. Her attentive service, warm hospitality, and professionalism truly elevated the entire night for our group. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal with top-tier service in Fort Wayne, go to Copper Spoon and ask to sit in Kate's section. Highly recommended! read more

Great whiskey selection! Servers were friendly and attentive. The environment was relaxed and the music was a perfect volume! read more

We came here before seeing a show at the Embassy. We made a reservation as recommended. I ordered an espresso martini & their vegan pasta dish with mushrooms. My husband ordered a burger. He really enjoyed his, & I enjoyed the martini-- I'm not vegan, so the fact that I didn't enjoy the dish was a personal issue, not on the restaurant. It was beautiful & had depth of flavor, it just wasn't to my liking. I wish there had been a few more options on the menu for food. Overall, the ambience was lovely & the restaurant is beautiful inside. Would return for another dining experience... I just know to avoid this dish on my second try! read more

I'm glad we gave this place a second chance. Last time we were here, we walked out because we couldn't get waited on. Tonight, we sat at the bar for some drinks and got fantastic service and the drinks were great. We had the Smoked Old Fashioned and I finished with a neat pour of Cream of Kentucky. Do not miss out on this one. For the money, probably one of the best on their list. Hate we got in there late tonight, as the vibe in there was very laid back at the bar. read more

2nd visit to Copper Spoon did not disappoint. From the friendly check in, competent service and delicious food, the CS continues to be one of my favorite spots in Fort Wayne. Tried the salted cod fritters which were light and tasty. I had a salad and steak tartar for my entree which was just the right amount of food for a light dinner. My coworker had the cioppino which she enjoyed very much and agreed that the copper spoon is one of his favorite spots in the city as well. read more

What an amazing experience at The Copper Spoon! This was our first time here, but definitely won't be the last. We stopped by for cocktails and dessert after dinner, and everything was outstanding. The drinks were top-notch, and the service was impeccable. Since we're visiting from out of town, our waiter even gave us a card with recommendations for the best local spots to check out. Such a thoughtful touch! read more

Awesome bar, awesome food, great vibe. I love going it because it always feels like a special occasion.

Parents came to visit so we took them to copper spoon this weekend. Being new to the city myself, I wasn't sure what to expect, but wow! The entrance is an experience alone. It feels luxurious and speakeasy-esque. Music and patron volume was balanced for a busy Saturday night. We all had cocktails/mocktails and they were all incredible and beautiful. I ordered a glass of wine part way through dinner and our server also brought me an additional wine to sample just because (without me asking)! My dad said the beef tartare was one of the best he's had in a while. My boyfriend and I did the valentines special for two. We had most amazing manchego and Cara Cara orange salad, shrimp and lobster bisque, a perfectly med-rare 20 oz porterhouse steak, and a raspberry chiffon cake. I have to say, I have had my fair share of nice steaks but I'll never get over the simple detail of cutting it for us; so thoughtful and precise. My parents had the scallops and chicken entree and the chocolate sea salt cookie and I may have also ordered one to go... Our server was Rico (it may have been Ricky) and he was polite and personable. Our bill was a bit over $300 but everything was well worth it and I'd happily pay that again for a meal like that. read more

Some dishes are great, and some are misses. Service was good. This place is more for those that drink alcohol. The boyfriend said the drinks were spot on. He had a Caipirinha and a seasonal cucumber drink, and he loved both. I don't drink, and their non-alcohol menu is $14 for a mocktail, so that's a hell no for me. Water is $0 and my choice. The drinks are crazy pricey, but I guess it's worth trying one, if you're a drinker. Appetizers: Pierogies - $18 - This is a must have. They are delicious, and nothing like the crappy frozen ones everyone has tried at the grocery store. Very good, everyone should try this. 5/5 stars. Chicken Wings - $16 - They are supposed to be korean bbq flavored, whatever that means. They are ok, but just ok. The first one I tried was a drum that was way overcooked, but every other wing was cooked perfectly. The flavor is more delicate, and it doesn't taste like much, which I don't expect when I hear korean bbq. I personally wouldn't get it again. Most of the stars comes from how well the wings were cooked (minus my first wing). 3/5 stars. Entrees: House of Tallow Burger - $18 - So the boyfriend wanted to go all out. He got a triple patty (+$4), add the egg on top (+$2), and added the potatoes and aioli (+2) on the side. This was the heaviest but most delicious burger you'll ever eat. You might as well go all out too, because the price is pretty reasonable, and the flavor is just outstanding. But, it will sit heavy on your stomach for awhile. 5/5 stars. Tuna Poke Bowl - $24 - Here, again, we have a problem with delicate and lacking of flavor. The tuna was fine, no fishy flavor. The problem is the rest of the bowl. The rice was wet, like really really wet. It's supposed to come with gochujang aioli, but I didn't taste any of it. I think I saw a little bit of it, but most of it was put on the already wet rice. I didn't see any chili oil either. I've had many poke bowls in my life, and this is just a bad attempt at a poke bowl. I guess 1 star for the tuna, and I feel like I'm being generous with the one star. Don't get this dish. 1/5 stars. Desserts: Seasonal Apple Dessert - $10? I forget - This was pretty good. Nice pastry, good sugar coated nuts, and good bourbon caramel sauce. I'd eat this again. 5/5 stars. Vanilla Cheesecake - $10 - Disgusting. Something went absolutely wrong here. It tastes like someone forgot to add sugar and eggs. The raspberry sauce was good, and the vanilla cream was good. The cheesecake was absolutely horrible. The waitress was kind enough to take it off our bill. This was inedible, that's how bad the cheesecake was. I hope someone screwed up making it, because if this is the normal taste, you should stay far far away. 0/5 stars. As I said, some were hits, but the misses were really misses. It would be nice if they had a drink menu for those that can't drink alcohol, but I guess I'm stuck with water. No, a $14 mocktail menu does not count. Get the pierogies, burger, and whatever the special seasonal dessert they have. Skip the wings, poke bowl, and definitely skip the cheesecake. Oh, the atmosphere was interesting. Dark theme, but there's some lights for the table. We were first sat at a table where the lights shining on the table were very bright and hurting our eyes. We had to move a table over where the lights didn't reflect so much. read more

I've been here several times and they never fail to impress me. With so many interesting cocktails to choose from, deciding what to drink is always a challenge for me. That being said, you can't go wrong! As far as food is concerned, the baron burger is huge and comes with the most addicting fried potatoes. And if you're trying to save room for more cocktails, I'd recommend the ceviche. The Mahi Mahi, mango, and avocado are a match made in heaven. read more

I love, love, love the vibe at Copper Spoon. It's this gorgeous, cozy spot downtown that feels elegant without being pretentious. The dark wood, stone arches, tin ceilings and art give it this snug, romantic feel. The cocktail game there is next-level. The food is stellar, too. This place isn't just talked about, it's often called the gold standard of Fort Wayne dining. Highly recommended. read more

Food service and ambiance is great. Our server was very attentive, our order was perfect

We went here based on someone's recommendation and it was an excellent decision! Their menu changes regularly so I'll just say- cocktail menu and food menu were both amazing. We sat in the bar area but the whole restaurant was great. A little pricey but the quality and service were excellent. We loved everything about it! read more

Absolutely phenomenal! The Hubbs and I were just in town for the weekend and wanted to make sure we hit the best spots. We did! The adult beverage list is pages and pages long, so I told our sever "dealers choice." She picked the Pornstar Martini and it was divine! The Hubbs likes to stick with his red blend, which he did, and was quite pleased. I landed on the seared yellowfin tuna. Holy wow. So good. Perfectly seared exterior with pink centers. The kimchi was divine. We got the lobster mac & cheese, sweet potatoes, and roasted baby carrots to share. Definitely recommend. Thankful this hotel has a mini fridge so we can snack later. read more

I came to Copper Spoon at the very end of July 2023. I came for a company dinner for management. We had just gone through another long day of non-stop meetings and we were all famished. I was excited we had reservations at the Copper Spoon, as this restaurant had been on my bookmarks for quite a long time. The reviews were great and I had heard the food here was delicious. I am still not sure if the current rating I will be giving it, 3 stars is correct, its borderline 2-3 stars and it was specifically about the service. The evening started out with out large party, i think we were about 20 people being led to our table. I absolutely loved the decor and ambience of the place. The building has to be old, as the roof work is very distinct. The dark woods, the wine bottles, the decor really give this place character. We had pretty much one area of the restaurant to ourselves, which was great. The server recommended this amazing cider to me and i took her advice. I thoroughly enjoyed the Vandermill Honey Crisp Cider. Everyone of course got their drink orders in as well and appetizers and the main course were ordered. The appetizers were great, but what I was really looking forward to was the main course. I got the ribeye steak but i got fingerling potatoes as my side with some chimichurri. I was salivating when I started seeing the main courses coming in, only to see I didn't get mine... i asked what happened and they said there must have been some mistake. I was one of two people in the party that didn't get their main course with everyone else. I waited 30 minutes to get my meal, as I watched everyone eat theres. I finally started eating my meal, when everyone either had finished theres or were finishing. Yeah i got an apology from the manager but, quite frankly, thats the very least you can do. Was the steak good? Yes, i absolutely loved it! It was well seasoned, juicy, perfection! You do not make someone wait half an hour after everyone else is served though. Least they could have done is offer something to make it up, heck a dessert, anything. I was thoroughly disappointed. Would I come back? Not sure. Loved the ambience, loved the food. But i did not feel like I mattered, and ultimately that is a heck of a hard thing to swallow. read more

Impressed with food and service...nice decor. The feta had great flavor. I''ll definitely be back as soon as possible

This is a review for the Pop Up Christmas Bar, Miracle on Jefferson. This bar is such a fun holiday experience. It's located at Side Car, attached to Copper Spoon. The bar is covered for the pop up experience and typically stays pretty warm. There's few spots to sit, but several bar top tables to gather around. They have a coat rack where you can hang your coat at no charge. Bathrooms are located inside Copper Spoon. Any Christmas decoration you can think of is here. The Throne of Lies, the leg lamp, the Grinch, and more! The staff is pretty quick, but they are usually pretty busy. No food is served here, but the drinks are great! They are really pricey though. If you want a speciality mug, you have to order off the menu. However, they do sell their speciality mugs if you want to take it home! read more

Copper spoon is great! Started off with the porn star martini which was delicious. Wonderful recommendation from our server! Nice quiet place for date night. Sweet potato appetizer was decent, could use more toppings. Next, the soup and salad had great flavor. Was not expecting the soup to be so thick when I ordered but it surprisingly worked! The tuna poke bowl was delicious too. Would recommend going back to this place! read more

First time eating at the Copper Spoon and my ENTIRE table was incredibly satisfied. The decor was beautiful. Whiskey Wednesday was a lovely surprise. Excellent appetizers, entrees and desserts. Max the waitress was outstanding. And the best part? They treated us with the utmost respect and took great care to make sure we left completely happy. Everyone should go here! PS. If you're looking for a bowl of boiled noodles with no sauce, then find a Fazolis. PSS. I'm talking to you Mark! read more

Perfect fun evening on Whiskey Wednesday. This time I got the wings. Super tasty and thoughtfully prepared. I love that they aren't huge. Quality ingredients! Our table shared the charcuterie and all four desserts. I recommend the pavlova! Gluten free and so good. Our server was spot on, attentive and knowledgeable. read more

It's good, love the ribeye! Great service. This back in the day it was a pop up bar, really good drink on the mixologist level!

This is an excellent restaurant and bar near the downtown baseball field. It's nice to see good restaurants in the downtown area. The beverage list is well thought out and extensive. Obviously much thought and effort went into designing the drink menu and the bar area. The same efforts go into the inventive food selection. We started with whipped feta. Served with plantains and sautéed oysters on a spicy sauce. Both are excellent. We then had the salmon with arugula salad. The salmon was cooked well amd the salad complimented the fish. I told a piece of cheesecake home and it was delicious the next morning. When you're downtown check out the copper spoon. read more

Copper Spoon - Salted Carmella Chocklet Cake - American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Gosh it's been awhile since I dined here. I forgot to review it right away. I didn't expect it to be connected to the Tin Caps baseball field, I'm sure it would be fun to watch a game on their outside patio area when there was a game. Anyway, I got the steak which was a little chewy for me, I think it might have had something to do with me not having had beef for 3 months. I was trying to give up pork and beef. I think you forget the texture of certain things and after awhile it becomes foreign to you. I wouldn't ding them for my opinion on the steak. I actually liked the sides that we ordered. My husband scallops were cooked perfectly, I think that's what I will get the next time we go. Even though it's connected to the baseball field it's fancy. It costs fancy too. They have signature drinks that have catchy names and prices that won't allow you to get too drunk. They were busy even though we were there right around 5. read more

So, I take Jill to Fort Wayne every year for her birthday to eat at one of our favorite restaurants. I booked the room, invited friends to join us only to find out Tolon was closed for a private event. I had heard good things about Copper Spoon so I booked a reservation there but had no idea what we were getting into. We were warmly greeted at the door by the host and he acknowledged Jill's birthday. We walked into the bar and had booth in the corner that felt like a private dinning room. Noah, our server introduced himself and gave us a thorough tour of the menus. The food was just incredible. The chicken wing apps can only be described as gourmet, I had the tuna over kimchi rice and it was unbelievable, best Mack and cheese we've ever had. Fair prices and wonderful cocktails and wine list. read more

We really enjoy this local place. It's very intimate, perfect for a romantic dinner or to meet with friends. Make sure you get a reservation in advance as this place is very popular. Drinks are really good...they have a good variety of mixed drinks as well as wines. Thursday's wine is on sale, so you can order a bottle at a great price. Their selection is great. I had the pan roasted salmon over parsnip purée and it was phenomenal. It was cooked to perfection and the combination was just great. If you are into whiskey, then you will enjoy Whiskey Wednesday, where you can get your favorite brand at a good price. Enjoy! read more

Copper Spoon is a fantastic establishment that embodies a classy/trendy ambiance with bottles of wine and spirits spanning the entire wall. The inviting bar is where I chose to plant myself and with quick access to the bartenders, I felt this was the ideal spot to get my fill on some fine cocktails and spirits. I've heard from the locals that Copper Spoon whips up delicious dishes so not only did this place satisfy my thirst it also blessed my tastebuds from the Pan-Roasted Chicken Breast; very juicy chicken with a savory and crispy skin to complement every bite. The creamy sauce paired very well with the veggie medley which rounded out the delicious dish nicely. I ordered an array of whiskys of some of my favorites and some I haven't tried before. I also ordered a Boulevardier and a Perfect Manhattan. Both of which were very tasty! The entire staff are all so kind and patient and the staff behind the bar surely knows a thing or two about craft cocktails :) read more

How rude of me, Had the Lobster Mac, very good with the noodles Al dente. The "Smoked Olde Fashioned" was the perfect accoutrement. The atmosphere at the bar is an amazing way to experience this venue, and decompress. The wait staff use terms like "My Friend" making it a very welcoming way to end a business day.

I came by Copper Spoon in search of a cocktail in my neighborhood. My family is spread out across the country, so to honor my grandmother on her birthday we all went to various restaurants in our respective cities and ordered her favorite - a gin martini. With Copper Spoon's extensive cocktail and wine list, I knew this would be the place. I was a little bummed that no bar seating was available, but I totally support that they were limiting seating at the bar to allow for social distancing. I ended up at a table in the back. On the recommendation of my server, I also ordered the pimento cheese. It was a good choice. My server was attentive, checking in on me and refilling my water. I'll have to come back for a meal and not just a cocktail and appetizer. Copper Spoon is good a special occasion. For those who don't live within walking distance, there is very limited street parking in front of restaurant. You might want to park in a nearby lot or on a neighboring street and walk. Copper Spoon also has a patio for when the weather is nice and you want to dine outside. read more

hello gary, it's good of you to reach out and try to understand why i wrote a 2 star review of your restaurant. as there isn't a method of posting my reply to your comment, thus this review. as you may have seen from my other reviews, i call it like i see it, issuing 5 stars when justified, and 1 or 2 star when warranted. i certainly don't like to write a 2-star review, as that means my experience was below average, with 3 star being average. i will address your points with my embedded comments and try to amplify them for your benefit. i'm sorry you feel your visit warranted a 2 star, but after speaking with my staff, i'd like to clarify a few things. i understand your server was asked about the specials by members of your party prior to ordering drinks which is why she proceeded to go over those in advance.... not true at all!!! i never request to know the specials before ordering wine or drinks. in fact, whenever a server, like yours that night, starts to explain the evening specials, we interrupt them to say we'd like to order drinks first.....which is exactly what we did. she provided new share plates for multiple rounds of food as requested...we did not order multiple rounds of food. one diner ordered a salad before the mains. the other two diners did not order a starter. and did her best to carry away what she could handle at each table visit....we asked for additional small plates to share the two side dishes that we ordered to accompany our mains....that would be three small plates. whenever she appeared to remove dishes, she always left dishes on the table and did not return to retreive the remaining dishes. i also understand the tuna was sent back once and came out correctly the 2nd time....yes in fact the tuna was brought out twice as you correctly state. however, that was the 3rd time that dish was prepared (according to your server). the 2nd time it was prepared, the dish was rejected by staff before bringing it out, and your kitchen prepared the 3rd version which was then brought to our table. but because of the delay, we removed it from the bill.....that was the decent thing to do since the porterhouse for two had been eaten by the time the third person was served her tuna. i'm told the others in your party appeared gracious with our handling of the situation, which left us feeling we had resolved it to the best of our ability.....what was the point of bringing up a sad situation again that everyone was well aware of by then??? i'm confused by the claim of "living off its past" as nearly all of our recent feedback has been positive. we are human and mistakes do happen, so if there's additional feedback you'd like to offer on how we could've done better than 2 stars for you, we're always looking to grow and would welcome your suggestions....yes, mistakes and poor service exists from time to time. your staff would be best advised to be frank and honest with you about the experience we had. only from full disclosure can they learn from you and improve. ps...the resaon for this two-day delay reply to your comment is that i've been traveling and in business meetings. i usually post my reviews on yelp, google and/or tripadvisor. read more
