Patio is based upon availability. Simple, Rustic, yet Refined, anything but typical. Walk into Dolce and you're welcomed by the aromas from the open kitchen. You might notice the music, its contemporary, it's rock & roll, R&B, or soul. You'll definitely notice the wines, displayed on the wall like works of art. There are no white table cloths, no dabbing the corners of your mouth, no pomp, but lots of circumstance. And perhaps the only reason you noticed the aforementioned is because you haven't tasted our food. That's when the music fades into the background. Our house chefs are proud to be 'dismantling' the dining experience, replacing it with a sophisticated yet relaxed evening that doesn't break the bank. It's the best of both worlds, yet the food is our finest accomplishment to date. Inspired by whats great with a deep appreciation for each ingredient; grown local sustainable farms, or produced and harvested by like-minded individuals. Dolce is rarely the same place twice.

This was our first time eating at Cooper’s for Thanksgiving. It was a great experience and totally worth it! The special menu was perfect and reasonably priced. While there were a lot of diners, it did not feel overly packed. The ambiance was comfortable and we were able to have conversations and hear each other just fine. The wait time and service was excellent! We had a very attentive waiter who ensured we had everything we needed. While it’s nice to have Thanksgiving at home, it’s also nice to have the option to not have to cook the turkey yourself and dine out instead at a great restaurant! Thank you Cooper’s Hawk!
