Thanksgiving at Cooper’s Hawk was worth it. The flavor of the food was fantastic, the waiter was awesome (shout out to Michael!), and the wine was amazing. Cynthia was our wine tasting expert and she is always a hoot. I highly recommend Cooper’s Hawk any time and I do recommend it for Thanksgiving.

We had a lovely brunch today after a long flight into town. The food was delicious, served very quickly and wonderfully presented. Our server was friendly and engaging. We were even able to sit in a booth to watch Hawkeye football. Highly recommend for people who are looking for healthy, delicious, gluten free options.
