The seasonal special of butternut squash ravioli with lobster was amazing! We also enjoyed our usual favorites- gnocchi with vodka sauce, sausage flatbread. The winter white wine was delicious, especially when warmed! Always a great evening at Cooper's Hawk!

We love it that the staff remembers us and our likes and dislikes. The staff are always friendly and the owners come around to talk to the patrons and see how their meals are. The menu changes with the seasons, so there are always different items to choose from.
