Best Wine Bars in Blue Ash

We always enjoy dinner at Cooper’s Hawk but when service is exceptional I like to acknowledge it. We had Sasha last night and he was amazing. He added so much to our experience by anticipating our wants and needs, making great suggestions, and adding to the laughter and great conversation. He was awesome and as always the food and wine was amazing!

Three of us shared a special reunion dinner. The initial hosts were quite polished, yet I felt my guest's attire and my signature (SF Asian Art museum) baseball cap was a possible issue, so I was not surprised when we were sized up and sat in the back/vault. The back was GREAT. More privacy and tons more quiet than the front. The final server we had was THE BEST. He helped us with the menu quickly and seamlessly (he really knew his stuff.) His friendliness was NATURAL, not forced. We were not rushed. Plus he was the perfect balance between professional and friendly. Formal dining etiquette (re clearing and food delivery) were all present and perfect. Yes, this was rather pricy, but I will definitely return, esp for a special occasion. And our server deserved his 30% tip, even if provided by a guy in a baseball cap with casually-dressed guests. ; )

Overall we had a great time. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 pretty easily. The gnocchi, roasted chicken, filet, mushroom flatbread, and stuffed mushrooms were all good. Cocktails were good. The lobster tail was just ok. Very chewy. But hey, we didn’t expect it to be phenomenal. Only real issue was it took forever to get drinks and food. The server tried her hardest but kitchen and bar seemed to be backed up and it was just very slow. She did apologize. Not her fault. We still had a nice time!

Had to wait 20 minutes beyond reservation time. Service staff was delightful and efficient. Food was outstanding. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.

Everything about our dining experience was lovely. There was a great flow about the entire place. It was Christmas Eve, which can be very hectic with a lot of large parties, but drinks, dinner, refills, table clearing, dessert and check delivery were all executed flawlessly. The food was hot and delicious. We enjoyed ourselves and had a wonderful family celebration!
