    Delicious food for a romantic date. Food is 5 star and you won't be disappointed. You will leave astonished.

    Enjoyed a Friday evening HH visit (read I was waiting at the door when they opened) which included a great red I hadn't previously tried and a really full cheese board. The service was friendly and I would definitely return. It was very lively so if you're looking for an intimate conversation, I'd pick a different day to visit. We left before the live entertainment, but it seemed like it would be a fun band.

    The Wise Owl is a small wine bar in an unassuming location. The wines and service are, however, excellent. The owner has a great selection of wines. I enjoyed the opportunity to sit outside in nice lounge chairs an enjoy a very nice Chardonnay filled by a good Pinot. The menu items pair well with wine. My choices; hummus and bruschetta were perfect for my wine selections. Overall, very good and relaxing.

    The Wise Owl is a treat! We visited for our weekly date night and were highly impressed. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the Pasta and stuffed mushrooms. All of their food is appetizer size, so it's fun to pick a few and make a meal sampler out of it. The drinks were a hit as well. To top it off, the service was awesome! 5/5

    The wise owl is such a fun environment. It's like a community bar where everyone interacts. Although it's a winery, they also have reallllly great food! I just took this picture of their stuffed mushrooms last week! I would recommend a happy hour here any week!

    We went here for our annual book club Christmas dinner. We had a private room that was beautifully…read moredecorated for the holiday. We are lively bunch so one downside to the room is that it did not have a door, it only had a curtain, so at times we were concerned we were disturbing others. Because of our party size appetizers were served family style. The spinach and artichoke dip is out of this world! I also enjoyed the chicken and the bread that was served. We kept the drinks flowing and I think everybody enjoyed their libations. The entrees were top quality, I opted to try a New York strip. I would have loved a little more wiggle room for accompaniments to my steak, but with us having the private room and the package we chose we were not able to do so. All in all we had a great experience, but I think I would prefer to come back with a smaller group versus the private party dining in the future. This is our 15th Book Club Christmas dinner so we have experienced private dining at multiple restaurants around the city and the process here was one of my least favorite. I tend to prefer when we are not limited to a prix fixe menu and can have some more variety to accommodate different palettes and budgets ( I wouldn't have minded spending a little more for some add-ons). I also prefer private rooms with doors so that we can be ourselves and not worry about disturbing others while we are being jovial and having a good time. That said the service was phenomenal. The wait staff was attentive, especially for a party our size and we were all greeted warmly when we arrived. Valet was a little backed up as another party exited when we did. My car was right up front by the door so I just asked for my keys and got it myself, it felt a bit silly to pay for that when they seemed so understaffed. It felt like a money grab versus a necessity.

    We recently enjoyed a business dinner at Jag's and the experience was excellent. The service was…read moreabsolutely amazing--attentive, professional, and perfectly paced. The restaurant has a polished, upscale feel with beautiful décor and a very clean, welcoming atmosphere. Most of our group ordered steak and were very happy with their choices. I had the halibut, which was tender and cooked to perfection. The mushroom risotto was flavorful, though just a bit saltier than my preference. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommended for a nice dinner or special occasion.

    I met up with a friend for Sunday brunch. Although, crowded, we were able to be seated quickly…read more Both of us opted for the $5 mimosa to start our meal. Victoria, our server, was great. She recognized my friend and I were busy talking and didn't rush us to place our order. My friend ordered the tortilla soup and the caprese flatbread, while I went with the crab, shrimp, and lobster bisque and the Leonard burger with fries. My soup came out quickly, but shortly after, the manager came by to let my friend know they were out of the tortilla soup. Because of her dietary restrictions, she declined the substitute options offered. Our entrées arrived without any issues, and everything was delicious. We were both happy with our meals. My friend is a member of their wine club and applied her discount to the bill, but when the check arrived, the discount wasn't reflected on the receipt she was asked to sign. Victoria promptly spoke with the manager, who confirmed the discount had been applied and provided a corrected receipt with the correct total. Overall, we enjoyed our time at CH and would visit again.

We made our reservation about a month in advance, arrived early at 5:00 p.m. for our 5:15 seating, and were seated fairly quickly. Our waitress, Margaret, was friendly at first--but unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. We waited 45 minutes for our starter and an hour and a half for our entrée. What made it more frustrating was watching nearby tables--many seated after us--receive their meals, finish, and even turn over while we were still waiting. We finally left around 7:30 p.m., feeling very disappointed. The food at Cooper's Hawk is consistently excellent, which is why this experience was so discouraging. There were also billing issues: I had a birthday reward and several wine bottles through my membership available, yet the wine was still charged to our bill and the birthday reward wasn't applied until I pointed it out. Although part of it was corrected, we still ended up paying for the bottle that should have been included. We usually enjoy wonderful visits here, and Cooper's Hawk remains one of my favorite restaurants. However, this particular experience--especially the long wait times and billing confusion--was truly disappointing, and I would hesitate to dine in the same section again.

    I really wanted to love this place because of all the good things I heard about it. I drove over…read moretwo hours to try it out. I will say that I really loved the huge variety of everything in this store. We arrived on a busy Saturday at around noon (won't be doing that again) but easily found a good parking spot in the giraffe lot. I got a cart for my child and it had a baby steering wheel for her to play with to entertain her. You walk in and are instantly overwhelmed by all of the options- in a good and bad way. I don't think the store is messy by any means, it's an organized chaos. We followed the line of people throughout the different sections and strayed away a few times to look at some items. I liked the pickle barrels with 3/$3 whole pickles with different flavors to choose from. There's a HUGE alcohol section so if that is your fancy then you are sure to find what you are looking for there. The customer service was not very good. Workers had AirPods in and when you went to ask a question they acted like you were a huge bother. I will say that the bartenders at the random bars across the store were so nice. Maybe because a difference in roles? Not sure. What REALLY left a huge distaste in my mouth was the cashier and his helper that was bagging groceries. On my receipt it says Walter. I got up to him and said hello and he stared straight at me. After he was done scanning he didn't say anything at all he was just waiting for my card. My mom was right behind me with her items and got the same treatment. She even inquired about what rang up as $32 because it looked like a candy that was scanned came up as that much and he just stared at her as well. No troubleshooting, no help at all whatsoever. It was honestly like talking to a wall. His bagger also had the same attitude but both had no issue speaking to the cashier in the next lane when they had a question amongst themselves. You could just clearly tell they'd rather be literally anywhere else than working on a Saturday. It was honestly ridiculous to be ignored so blatantly like that. Overall if you need any type of grocery under the sun I would say come here. Don't come on the weekend though. I'd maybe come on a weekday during non peak hours and for sure won't be asking for help from any employee.
