    The inlet

    Love the creative sandwich, smoothie and salad flavors. Food was delicious, if a bit pricey. Has its own small parking lot so you don't have to pay to park. Large indoor dining area and decent amount of outdoor seating. Local family sent us here and we were glad for the recommendation.

    Crab and corn chowder,  delicious! With sweet potato biscuits
    Vanessa T.

    Loved it in here! What a great find/ pop in, we just happened to stumble in here today while walking around. Immediately I knew i would like it, part wine shop, part specialty grocery, part restaurant. We got a few things, and enjoyed them all! Weird but they were brewing fresh tea when we walked in and out smelled so good, had to get some, delicious apricot tea! Now to the food loved the crab corn chowder so warm and hearty! Just delicious, I got it with biscuits the sweet potato, ham and jam one... it was good but maybe a tad too sweet for me. They also had a more savory one i would try next time. Goat cheese wrap was good too, very filled! Cookies were off the chains good! So soft and buttery! This whole place filled with fresh and local! Loved it!

    This Taste location is welcoming with friendly service. There are seats indoors and on patio.There are plenty of unique merchandise perfect for gift baskets: wine, savory or sweet nut mixes , canned fruits and olives, cookies, etc etc I ended up purchasing a box of chocolate chip bourbon cookies.

    Princess Anne with turkey

    Taste is my favorite place to grab a freshly made sandwich or salad. It's a great casual lunch/takeout spot if you're looking for something quick, tasty, and easy. You order at the counter and take a number to a table of your choice. They also have numerous pre packaged grab and go items available. Service is quick and friendly. I ordered the Princess Anne sandwich and added turkey. The roasted peppers added a delicious kick and the bread was perfectly soft. The sandwich was loaded with turkey and avocado, and it paired really well with a cup of soup on the side. The Brunswick stew is loaded with chicken and beans making this a cozy and filling meal. The cookies here are DELICIOUS. Overall, I have loved everything that I have ordered here and highly recommend that you try it out!

    Aesthetically pleasing with a tasty-looking menu, I was excited to have lunch here during my trip to Va Beach. I was not disappointed! I ordered a chicken Caesar salad with the multigrain baguette and apple for the side. First off, the woman who took my order was nothing less than exceptional. She took great care in making sure to get my order correct, even offering to have my Apple sliced. She did a great job of addressing questions and proactively pointed out where everything is located in the restaurant which made for a wonderful and standout experience. The food is small batch, responsibly sourced and absolutely delicious. I am here for 2 more days and will definitely be back before I head back home.

    My husband and I decided to come here for lunch. When we arrived the lady at the checkout could tell we were looking for a menu so helped us find them before we had to ask. We each got a sandwich and really enjoyed them! The bread was great and both sandwiches had great flavor. I appreciate a hearty sandwich, and these provided what I look for in a great sandwich. There were plenty of seating options and the place is clean and inviting.

    This place is amazing! The salads are very fresh, perfectly cooked eggs, not TOO much lettuce, and the lettuce is very crunchy. The sandwich's are also made with very fresh ingredients. The service is also very good with kind people.

    A hair on my food and my hair was in braids so it definitely wasn't mine.

    I went to this taste which is not my usual spot. I always have a great experience and this was not what I am used to. My friend and me ordered our food and I asked for a drink cup and she asked for a water cup. The lady checking us out was very nice and gave us two water cups. My friend and i assumed they were drink cups and took them. I went and filled my cup with cherry soda. I sat down and was bombarded by a worker. She told me in a rude tone that my cup was only supposed to have water. It was an honest mistake and we kindly offered to pay for the drink. She disregarded the offer to pay for it and told me I should be honest next time. It was a genuine mix up and I didn't appreciate the way she talked to me. I'm a young adult and I feel I was disrespected solely because I am younger. Also there was a hair on my food.

    Delish! Probably the best sandwich place on the area, especially for a more gourmet, fresh sandwich. Helpful staff. Great rewards program. Nice location just a block off the beach. Plenty of seating, indoors or out. They even offer dune delivery during the summer.

The polenta and steak were cooked with absolute precision. PEANUT CHICKEN WINGS : probably my absolute favorite of the entire spread. The tartness of the peanut butter was a very pleasant surprise. I would absolutely purchase a jar of the sauce alone. CRAB RANGOON FLATBREAD : an elevated version of a favorite take out additive. Sauce to ingredient ratio was to die for! GREEN GODDESS & MANGO SALAD : this salad was dressed to perfection, allowing all items to shine in its each individual way. CHILI CRUNCH TUNA POKE : I mean you quite literally will explode with satisfaction with every bite. The freshness and variety of flavor / texture is impeccable. FRIED RICE W/EGG ON SIDE : you can absolutely distinguish that whoever is on the line preparing your fried rice is doing so with the experience in mind. The preparation of the shrimp, the array of colored FRESH vegetables, and the rice itself. DIRTY MARTINI FETTUCINE PASTA : a blue cheese olive dirty martini is my all time favorite drink so lo and behold, there was a pasta created by its existence. The block of blue cheese down to the plethora of capers, absolute chefs kiss. BBQ DUCK : honestly if this was all I ordered , I would be more than satisfied. This item was accompanied by the most decadent Mac & Cheese , a perfected bowl of collard greens, and the pickled mountain of cabbage. STRAWBERRY CRUMB CRÈME BRÛLÉE : for the most part , I tend to stray away from a crème brûlée due to the lack of creativity. HOWEVER, the strawberry crunch crumbs and that dream of a sugar crust. I could clear a couple plates of this. PASSIONFRUIT & PANDAN TART : this hit every note of a well rounded dessert. The passionfruit was so tart with a subtle sourness that aided the coconut shortbread cookie. I would like to shout out our waitress Fantasia for an amazing service that evening by ensuring the plates never stopped coming, drinks stayed full, and any requests satisfied. As well as Chef Braedon for coming out to introduce himself and explain the magic he placed on our table. My friends and I will most definitely be back.

It is fully shaded which was nice considering we had some young kids with us. Service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'd encourage them to be more targeted when describing some recommendations on the menu, she simply listed about the entire menu she asked "what are some of your favorites". Drinks were delivered very fast by the bartender. 2nd rounds were offered prior to the drinks being empty which shows good serving habits. The serving portions were very plentiful and played very well on the brunch theme! Burger was cooked medium well but still very juicy with a delicious mayo based sauce. The chicken and biscuit was juicy and the biscuit was flaky and delicious. It would have served the dish well TJ have a little more syrup. I also loved the unique hash tots.

For wine (all part of Happy Hour), it was Pinot Grigio Sassi), Rose (Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo) and Pinot Noir (Franco Serra)-all tasty and paired well with our dinner. We all wanted pasta especially since they made their own and they had a few options. We ordered the Malfadine (first time having this pasta -resembles torn up lasagna pieces given the ridges, sausage, pesto all played nicely together), Lumache (short rib and vodka sauce-delicious!-who knew?) and Radiatore (Carbonara with Pork Belly-usually Guanciale, pancetta etc. but the Belly worked!). We liked that the Pasta portions were just right (still had leftovers despite) and priced accordingly. Evan took great care of us. He was attentive and so engaged! What a find!

The broth was flat and still had a wine taste to it. When I told the owner, he agreed that the wine taste was overpowering and told me they got a new chef who tried a new recipe and that they will go back to the old recipe. For entrees I got the lamb chops with risotto and she crab soup. The lamb was very tender but the flavor was lacking. It was also luke warm. The she crab soup was good but too salty. The owner also acknowledged that as well. The risotto was okay. Nothing special. My husband got the grilled bronzino and broccolini. I tried some and I liked the taste but he said it could have used more flavor. Broccolini was steamed and I wish they had grilled it instead. The bread pudding was the star of the entire meal. It was made of donuts. It was moist, sweet, and delicious. Drinks: We got a bottle of champagne and two cocktails. Drinks were all very good Service: This is probably why I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 3. The service was very good. First, they called me prior to my reservation and asked if they could pre-chill any wine or champagne for my husband's birthday and I was very appreciative of that. When we got there, our drinks came out a little slow but our waiter comped that immediately. Throughout the night, the owner checked in on us several times and that stood out to me. Overall I will come back once they fix some things with the new chef. Hopefully the food will get better

The bartender was very sweet and provided us with menus right away. Since I had a "Dine-In Only Bottle" available as a member, I ordered a bottle Cabernet Sauvignon, which is my absolute favorite. We also decided on the House-Made Meatballs (another favorite), the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini, which is a "featured" item, and the Classic Cheeseburger. While we waited, we chatted with others at the bar and since we all wanted to sample the Wine of the Month, the Blanc de Noirs, our bartender was able to provide us with a tasting, which we enjoyed. It took about 40 minutes for our food to arrive but everything tasted amazing, as always. The House-Made Meatballs never miss and the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini were amazing! My daughter enjoyed her Cheeseburger as well. Cooper's Hawk will forever be my one of favorite restaurants and I can't wait to return!!!

    This visit reminded me why I fell in love with Cooper's Hawk in the first place!…read more My last few visits had been a little hit or miss, so I was hoping this experience would be different--and it absolutely was. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and made for a wonderful dining experience. I decided to try several items from the **Seasonal Chef Recommendations** menu, and every course was excellent. I started with the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini, followed by the Shanghai Braised Short Ribs, which were incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I finished the meal with the S'mores dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending. During my wine tasting, I discovered the Vin Velouté. It was so good that I couldn't leave without taking a bottle home! I was also thrilled to learn that the Watermelon Paloma wine has returned--and even better, it's now a permanent addition to the wine lineup instead of just a seasonal favorite. That was exciting news! This visit truly reminded me why I've enjoyed coming to Cooper's Hawk over the years. Great food, outstanding service, an enjoyable wine tasting, and a wonderful overall experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Virginia Beach Winery is not my typical winery as I'm use to visiting but definitely worth the…read morevisit. The winery had a vintage style. Maria the owner was such a doll. Wine is made on site in the distillery and she has been in business for 8 years. We visited on a Saturday and there was a couple of vendors on site selling merchandise. 5 bucks for 6 samples is definitely reasonable. We indulged in the fruit infused wines, draft wines and slushies. I must say the draft wines were delicious and I wished those were bottled so I could have brought them home. All in all great places and would definitely stop in again.

    We were on a Filipino food crawl and needed a break and decided to stop in at the Winery. We love…read morewineries and look for opportunities to visit new ones. We were the only patrons for much of our visit. My birthday daughter and I ordered wine sample flights and chatted up the owner. Wife shopped the gift area and picked out a nice bauble. The good: the owner was very engaging and told us about the wines (and wine slushies) they offer. We asked where the grapes came from and she explained that some came from Chile, some from California (I believe) and other places, and that she blends them here. (This would be expected with no attached vineyard.) The place was very clean, and the restrooms were easily accessible and spacious. The price of the flights was a mere $5 for six communion cup sized samples -- you choose 6 of I guess 12 - 15. Mulled wine is a welcome option on a winter day. The disappointing: While there is a good assortment of wines, and many were on the good side of okay, none stood out and said BUY A BOTTLE OF ME. The fruity sweet wines were VERY sweet, not really good for dessert wine or sipping. (Sorry.) But again, the reds especially were drinkable and pleasant. Verdict: a good stop if you need a break and a glass or two to go with your conversation. Just don't set expectations too high and you'll be fine.
