Figured my chances were slim, but Tonya (or perhaps Tonia) the manager ensured that my dining dreams came true. She was very helpful, fitting us in at 8:30. The door to enter the restaurant isn't prominently labeled, so I always second guess if I have the right way. It's a classy feel inside with lighting that sets the mood, as well as cohesive fixtures and accents. Tablet menus? Yes. That's a thing here. Our server did a great job taking care of us. All our needs were met with finesse. As for the food, so delicious! I would normally go for the Lobster Mac & Cheese, which is to die for, but I like to switch things up. The Mahi Mahi Sandwich didn't disappoint. The regular mac & cheese that I had for my side is some of the best around town. The cocktails are flawless. My Mint Julep and Manhattan were perfectly crafted and 100% satisfying. This place is consistent and will not let you down. Looking forward to my next visit.

For the food, the best item on the bbq chicken platter was the creamed corn. There was a perfect crunch on top and the cream paired very well with the sweet corn. I believe it had jalapeños in it but there barely was any spice. The bbq chicken tasted just like you would imagine it and the fries weren't anything special. My girlfriend really enjoyed the lobster mac & cheese. Just like the creamed corn, my girlfriend complimented the crunch on top of the entree. We both liked the spinach dip and the chips were lightly seasoned well too. For the drinks, we got the baby blue cosmo and the espresso martini. The martini was good and the cosmo was pretty strong for it being a restaurant.

They have a few nice craft beers on tap and the most amazing hummus platter ever. So many places give you a tiny dollop of hummus, a few crackers and if you're lucky a few cut up carrots. Not here, you get a giant amount of hummus - you get house made lavash - and you get beautiful baby medium sized carrots and all of that is only $8 on happy hour. The hummus is very flavorful with a tiny kick and the lavash is super crunchy with an amazing seasoning on it that reminds me of "everything bagel seasoning". You'll see two different pictures - these were taken a year or more apart but you can see things have barely changed. You always get the amazing crackers and carrots and a huge amount of hummus. They also have a few great wines by the glass on happy hour, some yummy sliders, and now a pepperoni pizza that looks awesome but I haven't tried yet.

Other than that, the food was great. I sampled a few items of the apps that people ordered. From what I can remember, the truffle fries really stood out. For my entree, I got the chopped elk medium cooked. It was fantastic. Very delicious and almost tasted like a really beefy meatloaf. Not gamey at all. The sauce drizzled on it was so savory. I wished there were more mashed potatoes underneath because those were amazing too. It was also a very big portion. Definitely recommend. Would come back again and try something else or even order that again.

Walking in, it looked very cozy- tiny but cutely decorated and on theme with the wine and oysters. I ordered a boil whereas my friend ordered the oysters. I also had an espresso martini. Both were very good! The boil had an amazing amount of garlic which was just so good. Can never have enough garlic! Our server seemed to be the only one in the restaurant besides the chefs back of the house. She was very friendly and answered questions that we had about the menu. Overall, a great random Thursday night turned into a lovely one having good food and drinks!

    I'll be honest, the name Wine (good) Oysters (great) got me lookin'. Add in the myriad Yelp reviews…read moreand I was mapping directions. What a find! They have a plethora of cooked oyster variations (not necessarily my jam) and raw. My favorite part of oysters on the half shell is mignonette; I loathe places that only provide cocktail sauce. Yet another reason why I'd come back? W4O provides two mignonette options; wait...is this heaven? After some vino and oysters, my colleague and I weren't crazy hungry. I chose the charcuterie board and she the salmon tostini. Not the most diverse charcuterie board I've ever seen, but it worked. Salmon tostini was on point and we were upset we didn't prioritize this dish above all others. NOTE: If you're on the fence, I completely agree with Yelper Hanh, Happy Hour is a great time to give Wine 4 Oysters a try! Small, strip mall venues are often hit or miss, but Wine 4 Oysters is a home run! Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    I highly recommend Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant especially if you enjoy wine! One tip I always…read moregive people is to make reservations, as it can get pretty busy. The good thing is there's plenty of free parking, which makes visiting super convenient. I'm a Wine Club member, which is definitely worth it if you go often. Members receive two bottles of wine and two tastings each month, and there are three different membership tiers depending on how much wine you want. The club also comes with a lot of extra perks, which makes the experience even better. My coworker and I recently decided to go for happy hour (Monday-Friday from 3:00-5:30 PM). Since we're both wine club members, we wanted to do our wine tasting before our dinner reservation. I definitely recommend getting there earlier in the afternoon if you plan to taste. We arrived around 2 PM, and the tasting area wasn't packed yet, which made the experience much more enjoyable. If you plan to do the tasting, I suggest setting aside about an hour so you can really enjoy it without feeling rushed. After our tasting, we headed to our table for our reservation and ordered a few items from the happy hour menu while continuing the wine fun. One thing we learned for next time: the sangria flight during happy hour is only $17, and it's perfect for sharing especially after you've already done a full tasting! Overall, Cooper's Hawk is a great spot for gatherings, date nights, or even meeting up with coworkers for happy hour. The atmosphere is lively, the wine selection is great, and the wine club perks make the experience even more fun.

I'm not big on wine, so a winery aspect is kind of wasted on me, but the food was tasty and came out quickly. The server was friendly and helpful. I'd go back again for dinner and try out their brunch sometime.

The plates were made decently sized but my burrito was huge! I ended up taking it home and having it the next day. Definitely a good place to go.

Seems the non Mexican restaurants make better tacos. They also told me if I wanted onions and tomatoes and lettuce I have to pay $1 more per taco. That's usually free everywhere else.
