    We had a great dining experience at Coopeer’s Hawk. As members of the Wine Club, we are regulars, and always have a great meal, both quality and quantity! I love the unique PB&J Old Fashioned, which is a perfect cocktail to open. My wife and I shared a sausage and burrata flatbread as a starter, which was great. My wife had short rib risotto as her entree which she loved, and I thoroughly enjoyed my country rigatoni, a blend of several great flavors! Both resulted in a take home portion as well. The house Malbec matched perfectly with the food. Lastly, our server, Artem was friendly, efficient and attentive. He definitely added to the good time! Overall, more reasons to keep returning!

    Out first time to Gibson’s. Was greeted right away and with our reservation we were seated immediately with the patrons in front of us having a walk in 2 hr wait. Our waiter was AMAZING- apparently he is called the “Legend of Rosemont”. He was attentive, professional and went along with multiple husbands humor. We both ordered the different sized filets and were cooked to perfection! The Crème Brûlée was perfect! Overall a great first experience at Gibson’s!

    Love Lou’s and it was excellent. Wrote that we were celebrating a birthday and they didn’t read that note from the OpenTable reservation or do anything to acknowledge the milestone birthday. Disappointing that I had to point it out to them and then it took too long and we had to leave.
