We were looking for a new place to celebrate my wife's birthday, and she selected this one. It's…read morestraight off of I-88, exiting north on the left side. First off, the place is very nice looking - feast your eyes on the photos. Angled windows in front, nice table spaces, art at every table, a nice oil candle, and good enough lighting that you can read the menu without wrecking the intimate nature of a booth. The menu (photos attached) is loaded with good stuff. For an appetizer, we selected their Imperial American Wagyu Filet Carpaccio, which came with thinly sliced Wagyu Filet, topped with black truffle, king crab, kaluga caviar, panna grattato, and other tasty stuff. It was served on a white plate with bread, and was incredibly tasty. My wife ordered their Lobster Linguini (on the bill) or Linguini Aragosto on the menu. She enjoyed it very much, and even took some home. On the other hand, I went with their Butcher's Butter Spinalis which was a Ribeye Cap. It was very tender, very tasty, nicely seasoned and cooked as requested at medium rare temperature. With that, we ordered their Rosemary Potatoes, which were "family sized" (enough for two or three) and tasted great. We closed out with a cannoli which was two-sided with two different end preps, which was excellent. To work with all this, I needed a wine which would work for the seafood and the meat, so I selected a Grosjean Pinot Noir, which worked great with both. Service was very very very good - regular checks, food timing was good with each part coming out with enough time to easily finish it before the next course came out. Our waitstaff Ashley kept us watered, and even removed the cork from the wine using a wine key while standing. Nicely done! This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to go for a nice, relaxed meal. They do store their wine horizontally (like you are supposed to, see the picture) and keep it out of the sun. They also have a deli on the west end with reduced hours, so if you want something I'd suggest going there before you arrive so you don't miss it.

The fire pit in the middle of the restaurant and the fireplace in the porch-like portion are a vibe. I had the hummus trio, which had some really innovative and delicious flavors (a black bean option, a chipotle option, and some sort of balsamic thing I can't remember the name of but was my favorite). The pita bread they served it with was tasty. Everything else in our group looked delicious, too. They had been here several time and they love it. I'm not out this way very often (or ever), but if I were I would definitely come back.

This review is solely based on the food and unfortunately it's just not that good... I ordered the lemon pepper chicken wings (it came with mild sauce on the side, fries, and a slice of bread). The chicken was underwhelming, it was really crunchy- a little too crunchy and it was very dry. The fries with the mild sauce were pretty good, but honestly I think the sauce saved the fries. The bread was pretty mediocre as well, but it's a slice of bread so my expectations were not that high. Just like the fries, the bread tasted significantly better with the sauce. My friend ordered cheese cake and was kind enough to let me try a piece and it tasted like it was made with string cheese, it was pretty disappointing! I think I'm good on Sharks, I may give it another shot sometime in the future. However, I will not be rushing to eat there again!

I loved the fact you can get their cocktails on the rocks or frozen! definitely enjoyed the tamarind drink!! To start we were given chips and salsa, this is how I knew the food was going to be good. I could have drank the salsa to be honest! We had the sopecitos trio and it was delicious!! my favorite was the arrachera with the chimichurri- literally to die for. We also got the Molcajete leña y mar and it was spectacular. My mouth was watering as soon as it hit the table. It had a mix of everything the steak, chorizo, cheese, shrimp- I loved it all!! We weren't planning on getting dessert, but we saw that the churros came in the carrito and we couldn't resist! Such a cute way to present the dessert, really felt like a celebration! I will definitely be back!!!

Inside, the building is very beautiful but very similar to all the other Coopers Hawk location.

She was friendly and attentive. She was amazing! The only slight negative during this visit was the wait. We showed up at 12 and there didn't seem to be anyone in the restaurant besides me and like 3 other people (maybe I was wrong), but it took a long time for my food to arrive... over an hour. If it was busy or maybe they were... but 1.5+ hours was a little long. I wish I could only dock 1/2 a star though because the service and food was amazing and I would be back for those two alone. Overall, I would be back in the future.

Also they have a pretty decent looking bar where they have a good selection of Boba shakes & teas. They also serve cocktails but most interesting is that they have a very nice selection of Japanese Single Malt Scotch, they even have Yamazaki & Hakushu. Overall, the food was very flavorful but I found the pork belly meat was rather thick cut which made the bite too fatty. I mentioned this to the server (she might also have been the manager) who said that totally understands because some customers have mentioned it before. She told me I could have requested for the meat to be cut thinner. Well, maybe next time because I was not offered that option when I ordered.
