We came here for a business dinner and we sat outside! I love the grilled octopus, the pork ribs and calamari! I might have had something with cauliflower too and everything was amazing! Will definitely come back! read more

Ambiance: casual simple and not what it used to be. Service: very good! Food: not what it used to be for many years. Many menu favorites are gone but plain food seems to be the new style. read more

I took a friend for her birthday dinner and we had a nice time. I had made a note on my reservation that it was a birthday and the hostess confirmed that when I arrived before my friend did, but no one told our server. It's not a big deal, but it would have been nice to remember my note, especially as it was not particularly crowded on a Monday night in August. I'm just realizing now that we didn't get any bread -- or any offer of bread. No wonder I wasn't full when I left. I had a spritz and my friend had a mocktail. She liked her drink better than I did mine, but that's fine as it kept me from ordering another. I stuck with water after that. We had the shrimp and lemongrass dumplings for an appetizer. They came with a good sauce and were enjoyable. What I did love was my cod entree. Cod Romesco -- served with broccolini, shallots, lemon butter sauce, and parsnip purée. It was delicious, but I guess the small amount of puree on top was the starch/carb part. It needed fries or mashed or roasted potatoes --something heartier (for me anyway as I'm not on a diet). My friend enjoyed her fried goat cheese salad that has arugula, cherry tomatoes, walnuts, red onion, and honey in a vinaigrette, and she ordered an add-on of grilled salmon. I was hoping when we chose a dessert to share it would come with a candle -- thus my note when I made the reservation followed by the check-in with the hostess. We shared a carrot cake in a glass jar, and when I mentioned the birthday, our sweet server Sophie brought some berries with a lit candle. The manager walked by at the end to ask if we enjoyed everything, and we assured him we did. read more

I have been to the Cooper more than once, it is typically a back up plan if I cannot get into my other preferred restaurants locally. My wife and I have had mixed reviews overall The service has typically been good. We have run into issues with inconsistency in restaurant cleanliness not deplorable but not stellar either. The food is very average overall and preparation has been mixed also. I wouldn't say the Cooper is a complete miss but it is has work to do to be consistent all around. I would give it a 3.5 if I could but with no half scores I will defer to a 3. read more

Really excellent service. The food was a little pricey but probably in line with other places. There's a very nice bar, however I felt my cocktail was a little small. I had the grilled octopus, which is difficult to find. Nicely prepared. We shared the Korean BBQ ribs as a starter. Good but not outstanding. A little dry. My husband's sandwich was epic. It was called grilled cheese but it had short rib meat in it and was huge and delicious. read more

Beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere, fast, attentive service and fantastic food. Went for brunch and will be back again for sure. My husband said his burger was extremely good, moist and tasty, sweet potato fries were flavorful and perfectly cooked. I had the shashuka and it was so full of flavor, the eggplant was well roasted, the eggs were just the right amount of runny and the naan was warm and pillowy. 10/10 read more

The Cooper Craft Kitchen & Bar is what happens when great food, good taste, and chill confidence all sit at the same table--and nobody's trying too hard. It's low-key tucked away in Palm Beach Gardens, but once you're in, it's giving "why don't more people know about this?" energy. Now let's get into brunch--because this place understands the assignment. The shrimp and grits? Elite. Bold, rich, perfectly balanced. The kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and rethink your life choices--mainly why you haven't been eating this more often. The shakshouka is flavorful, comforting, and executed cleanly. And the waffles... listen--these waffles are not here to play. Crispy, fluffy, and dangerously easy to finish. Order them knowing full well you're not sharing. The menu truly lives up to the idea of "a taste of everything." There's so much to choose from that decision paralysis is real--but in a fun way. No bad options, just tough choices. The vibe is on point. Modern, warm, stylish without being loud about it. The kind of place that feels just as right for brunch as it does for a relaxed dinner. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and actually happy to be there--no bad attitudes, no weird energy. The manager is hands-on, professional, and clearly runs a tight (but chill) ship. Is it a little tucked away? Yes. Is it worth finding? Absolutely. Consider it a hidden gem with main-character energy. Bottom line: Great food. Strong brunch game. Beautiful space. Solid service. For me, it's five stars every single time--no overthinking, no debate. If you know, you know. And if you don't... now you do. More pics to follow... read more

Went here for a baby shower and was very impressed. Loved the ambiance, reminded me of prohibition vibes a bit. Very nice place perfect for a special occasion. We had wonderful service and a menu made just for the party. The food was delicious and I had a drink that was spectacular. It was bourbon with honey and lemon. Can't remember the name of the cocktail but I would get it again any day, any time. read more

Party of 13 arrived on time one party running late minimal The Waitress comes up has a very unfriendly vibe and attitude after a short while it got annoying we had 5 children so we made early reservations to accommodate the children not getting cranky or tired. And we sat there 20 minutes with a drink. I went directly to the Waitress And explained we have 5 children. And we're sitting a long time can we move along so the kids behave. She told me well I have other tables you know. ( not of 13 and what will be a large check and I tip well for good service Foolish ). Finally spoke to the manager everything was smiles and flowers Cause she was standing at the podium as I presented my issues with her service. All in all. Food was great. Service became good. Offered us desserts for everyone I declined I know you never know what going on in someone's life that day So I give people kindness and slack. But there's times for your own self preservation to smile even if it hurts inside it's the Hospitality business read more

We had a wonderful meal! The menu is updated and food delicious! Server was amazing and very attentive and helpful with selections. The restaurant is immaculate including restrooms. The cooper burger is a staple and very good. We had lobster ravioli in Vodka sauce with just a touch of cream. Very tasty. The fresh made large multin lava chocolate cookie in a skillet with vanilla ice cream was scrumptious with a large portion to share. Kudos to The Cooper! read more

My wife and I went to Palm Beach to catch a minor league game and stopped at The Cooper for lunch before the game. Our waitress Sophia was very sweet and was knowledgeable of the menu. We started with the Caesar salad with the anchovies, which was absolutely delicious and the Korean ribs (gluten free) were phenomenal. I was telling my wife I am going to want those ribs again soon. We also got the lobster roll on a gluten-free bun, it was a good balance of mayonnaise, celery, and onion and a lot of lobster. We got it with sweet potato fries, which were very good. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and very welcoming. read more

Yum! Came here w some ladies for lunch, the concierge at our property recommended it. It was very cute and quite tasty. Server was nice, restrooms were clean. Wanted a burger, ordered The Cooper one w bacon and garlic aioli instead of secret sauce. I added bacon and upgraded to truffle fries. I was hungry so it took me biting into it to notice my bacon was missing and I'm a huge truffle fan, and the fries didn't taste like it was present. The server said the parsley wouldn't have been on it otherwise but I know the truffle taste and it wasn't present. Our server brought me a side of bacon and truffle oil. After that life was good. Burger was perfectly cooked. Flavorful and juicy. My friends enjoyed their salmon meals as well. Staff was kind. While I would come back, it's not at the top of my list. Foods very good but nothing so different or rare that it couldn't be replicated. I appreciated my experience nonetheless. read more

A great place to unwind with outdoor comfortable patio seating and musicians that are very talented.

Went here for the 2nd time for a friend's bday get together and a little Christmas gift exchange. Our part wasn't huge but it wasn't small either. They were not super busy but service was slow. Even though the service was slow, our waiter was super nice and patient. Even once we sent drinks back because apparently the bartender decided not to use any alcohol whatsoever in our drinks. We exchanged for wines and beers (can't mess those up). This spot always has a nice comfy setup with rustic tables and comfortable chairs. My food was good. I went for the Cooper burger with sweet potato fries. Most of us got burgers (they have some of the best burgers in town). I also had some cheesecake and a tiramisu. Both delicious but the tiramisu was the clear winner. All in all it was a good time the food was good .. the service was ehh but with a good attitude and the bartender last night was not the best at all. I would return. read more

This was our first time visiting The Cooper with friends. The exterior was inviting. We had a reservation for brunch, and we were seated quickly. The furniture was comfortable. Our server, Chloe, was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The music was a little loud for conversation, but they kindly turned it down. The lighting was good for reading the menu. We ordered starters including the Carrot Muffins, Korean Short Ribs, and pancakes. The carrot muffins were good and came with whipped honey butter. My husband liked the short ribs. He said they were really good. They were a little spicy. My friend thought the pancakes were ok. It took a long time to get our entrees. It actually took about 90 minutes start to finish. We ordered Biscuits & Gravy, Mussels, The Cooper Breakfast, and an Omelette. My husband liked the biscuits and gravy, but felt that there was not enough gravy with them. I had a large portion of eggs, although they were a bit dry. My friend enjoyed her mussels. The meal was good, but the wait time was really long. The bathrooms needed cleaning as well. If I came back, I would probably try the dinner menu. read more

We had the brick roasted chicken, Jerry's bacon wrapped meatloaf and a side of the truffle Mac and cheese. My brick roasted chicken was unfortunately pretty overcooked and quite dry. It was also under seasoned. 1/5. The mashed potatoes served with it were really yummy though and the broccolini was good. Jerry's bacon wrapped meatloaf was okay. 3/5 The truffle Mac and cheese was yummy. 4/5 read more

I just ordered churrasco for takeout and it was delicious. They use some kind of a sauce with pinenuts, and I had never tasted anything like that before and it made the steak ignite with flavor. They also included the traditional chimichurri sauce, but this other one was incredible. I ordered it with the brussels sprouts, which were also very delicious. The girl that took my order was very nice too. Overall, a really nice experience. Looking forward to dining in one day. read more

Good restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. They offer a huge selection of food and beverages. I've enjoyed some of their salads which haven't yet disappointed me! I really liked their avocado toast when I went for brunch one day. They make great cocktails.

Our party of four had a mixed experience at The Cooper. Overall, a very average experience. The meatloaf, cod romesco and swordfish pesto linguini were all very good. No complaints. The shrimp on the chopped salad were very over cooked and the dressing was very plain, almost non-existent. We started with the calamari which was severely over cooked and was more than half were tentacles vs rings which does not appeal to most people. I understand a portion being tentacles but not more than half. The service was average. I fully subscribe that being a waitress/waiter is extremely challenging. You have to deal with all kinds of people. However, our waitress was not remotely engaging and drink refills were not actively provided. Anyone can have a bad day so I wouldn't overly penalize them for this. The atmosphere is bar-like so rather casual. There are TVs at the bars. It's worth a second try. read more

The Cooper has come back from its rather dim days, post COVID. The bar is quite deep, and excellent. V, one of your bartenders, is exceptional. The food has improved BUT, you need to avoid the days that the chef is off. I came on a Sunday early evening, and it went from magic to tragic. The cauliflower appetizer that's coated in a sweet, lightly spicy sauce? Not covered at all. Sauce at the bottom. The bartender, that day, had to go back and do it himself! Embarrassing, chef! Still, when the clowns aren't in charge of the circus, and someone is actually supervising what goes out, the food is very good. I would love to give this place a 4-star but the lack of consistency in the food put out is the achilles heel of this restaurant. The interior is well appointed. The big outdoor patio, which has its own bar, is perfect for season. It's a nice place to have a meeting, grab lunch with a friend, or have a nice evening out... As long as chef is in the house. If there is a tiny, polka-dotted clown car in the parking lot, and you hear a lot of brass horn honking and wheeeee whistles coming from the kitchen? Come on a better day. read more

Had a great birthday dinner, with good menu choices for adults and children. My rack of lamb was tender and delicious, the kiddos loved the hamburger sliders, pasta, and fries - which we all shared.

We returned again to the Cooper after a previously great meal. We order Caeser salad to split, which was a very generous portion! We all ordered diff dishes, chopped salad with salmon, wagyu burger , swordfish steak and steak. All were prepared beautifully and delicious!

I prefer the outside ambience to dining inside. The service is good and the food is decent. I've enjoyed a few different items here and the General Tso's cauliflower appetizer is my personal favorite. Frankly, I don't find the quality of dishes matches the price point when it comes to dinner. My most enjoyable experience was brunch last year with Patty W. They have epic carrot muffins paired with honey butter. Unfortunately, these are only available on Sundays at brunch. Additionally, I appreciate the availability of non-alcoholic beverage options. Finally, I liked the chicken Cobb salad on my last visit. Specifically, the croutons. I'm sure I will dine here again, but it's not going to be my first option. read more

I wish I had better things to say about this place. Their outdoor space is really nice and the staff is incredibly friendly however outside of that everything else falls short The food is incredibly pricey for what they have to offer in terms of seasoning and flavor. And at this price My salad did unfortunately have a bug buried in the lettuce (things happen). They did bring out another salad incredibly quickly, however I do feel when experiences happen like this other compensations should have been made, especially at this price point. read more

I met a fellow Yelper friend of mine for brunch and it was a solid visit. I thought the restaurant had bottomless mimosas and it doesn't. Oh well, it's not a big deal since I got two of them anyway...lol! We got the carrot muffins to share and we weren't shy about putting the butter on them. The Cooper's Max breakfast consists of two eggs, home fries, and multigrain toast. I got the eggs scrambled with cheese and it was alright. The flavors were good on the dish and it balanced out nicely with the mimosas. Our server came to our table periodically and we got what needed as time went on. The food came out within a reasonable amount of time. I wouldn't mind returning and trying something else or even go for happy hour or dinner. read more

Always an enjoyable lunch--and a decent wine list. The bread is really good--don't miss it.

The Cooper was fantastic from start to finish. Cindy made the best Sidecar I've had in years--perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious.

I was told there are new owners, the food Is still good but the portions are tiny... fried calamari $18.00 wasn't enough to fill a cavity y- the short ribs are still tasty but much smaller portion... too bad they ruined a good thing.... lady bartender not very nice...

Service was pleasant but there was a misunderstanding about the water so we paid $6 for a large bottle rather than the tap water we expected. We split a cheeseburger and an extra side of cole slaw to be informed of a $6 sharing charge. They removed the sharing charge as a gesture after the water misunderstanding. On to the burger....never again. Warning- Avoid it. We don't eat them often and were craving one today. We'd been to the Cooper before so expected to have a quality burger. Meat was not tasty, and it was not charred on the outside. The juice soaked the bun. It was bad, however the fries were good. Not anxious to return and certainly would NEVER go to The Cooper for another burger. read more

Our server, Courtney, was pleasant and caring. She certainly took care of us and the food was delicious! Thank you!!

We were in the area visiting and my wife found this place. She had no issue making reservation. We sat on the patio as it was beautiful outside. And eating outside just adds a little European splash to it. Dakota was our server and she did an incredible job. She ensured our water was never empty. She took our order...bang bang shrimp, General Tso cauliflower, Korean BBQ ribs and a side of fries. We did not need to wish long and our order was accurate. And the food? LOVED IT!!!! My dad wants us to make an excuse next week to be in the area so we can dine here again. Thanks to the kitchen team on an incredible meal and a special thanks to Dakota for being extremely friendly, helpful and vibrant. Keep up the great work!!! read more
