Best Casual Restaurants in Dayton

Cooper’s Hawk is becoming one of our favorite mid-priced dining choices lately and today’s visit was as good as all the others. An eclectic menu offers plenty of options to satisfy just about anybody’s appetite of the moment. Service is excellent, too. The house wines, a feature of this chain, have gotten much better over recent years. Some of the dry reds especially hold their own nicely with big-name brands.

The risotto was excellent. Ordered protein on the side. Drinks were good.

Must try - the beer cheese and pretzels - awesome! Great choice of salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups and entrees. Our server was accurate and attentive enough - not enough to interrupt our great visit with friends. We like everything we have tried - especially the salads.

We’ve had multiple entree’s at Thai 9 and our meals have been delicious, had great presentation, and staff has been very attentive! We especially like the Sushi, Sashimi, and Nigiri. Try the Boat!

We arrived at 11AM and several of us had to keep coats on due to the cold air coming out of vents. It was an extremely cold day as it was.
