We celebrated our Thanksgiving at Coopershawk. Everything was perfect except the way in. We were coming from the east and had a hard time figuring out how to get to the restaurant. We made some mistakes and had to try two times before we actually found the parking lot. We could have had a terrible accident. I won't be coming back myself with friends as it is too tricky for me to negotiate. I am sorry because we really liked everything. We have been to the Oak Park Coopershawk but it is farther away. Also Schamburg is too far. So sadly we probably won't be back.

Great dining experience! The Coopers Hawk team was very hospitable and welcoming. The hostess was very pleasant and friendly taking us to our table. The service by our server was exceptional and she was very attentive taking great care of us. Food was awesome and was ready promptly. We were Visited by your manager Vanessa, who wanted to see that we were enjoying everything. She described the wine we had and even recommended desserts. She clearly is a hands on manager, assisting servers and visiting every table in our area. Thanks for a wonderful experience. We will be back soon to enjoy another date night.

Three of us dining, ordered two pizzas and salad, and shared. It was plenty. The pizzas (we had one white and one yellow) were very good. The fungo in white was great. The salad had everything we like and was large enough for 3-4 people. Both pizzas were prepared as expected, based on the techniques advertised, and were really good - thin dough except for the outer crust, cooked completely without being dry or crunchy. Edges properly "burned and blistered". Service was excellent, but we were literally the first customers of the day. It was our first visit, and our server was informative, polite and patient.
