There was not enough staff to serve the big crowd. They only had one bartender and our poor waitress was overwhelmed. She did put our order on rush so we able to make to church on time. My Brown Derby Salad with chicken was dry but my husband’s Lobster Risotto was delicious. Need more staff.

We went for brunch and the food was slow to come out. There isn’t an espresso option on the brunch menu and the coffee was quite meek. Poor gluten free options- ordered avocado toast and came on gluten free bun with sparse avocado. Dinner is better here!

Cooperage is a fun and festive place to hang out especially over the holidays. Was there for my son‘s 21st birthday and later a work dinner. And both were a blast with great food, and service. I highly recommend.
