    Love the food here. It seems like the Nbk location is a little less noisy than the Wilmette location. Highly recommend.

    Noel was excellent waiter. Made suggestions that we followed on our first ever visit. Butternut squash soup was delicious Smooth and creamy. Needed a tad more heat. Niçoise salad with rare ahi tuna asked not blackened was plentiful and very tasty. Substituted feta cheese. Their famous burger was justified. Carmelized onions and brioche bun

    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!
