APPETIZER MENU
Copper's Hawk has an extensive wine list with some of the best selections in the world to choose from. I usually go for a CHIC rose, but last night I ended up choosing the Romance Red from the red menu. I honestly was not sure what to expect, as this is my first time having a sweet wine. I loved it. It was sweet and a little tart. The body was full, and it lasted for a while on my palate. Solid 8/10.
The appetizers were super delicious; I cannot rave enough about the potstickers. Out of the two appetizers that we ordered, these were the best. The filling was delicious, and the outside was crunchy. The ginger soy sauce was perfectly blended and paired well with the potstickers.
The Thai chicken wraps were also good; the Asian cabbage coleslaw and crunch wontons really made this dish. The best part was the three chili sauces that came with this dish on the side.

Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant-Dinner Menu
It was difficult to choose my entree because every item on the menu looked appealing. I ended up choosing the gnocchi carbonara, and it was the best decision ever.
The price for this dish was $28.99 before taxes and worth every penny. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked, and the garlic cream sauce complemented the ingredients. This dish is a solid 9/10. My only issue was the added green peas.
My boyfriend ordered the Trio of Medallion with the horseradish crust and absolutely loved it. The dish was $45.99 and came with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. Personally, I think that price was a little high but definitely not the highest that I have seen.

The restaurant is large and spacious, with plenty of seating for both small and larger groups, making it a great option whether you’re dining with a few friends, family, or a bigger group.
The patio isn’t the largest, but it was a lovely spot to enjoy our meal on a beautiful spring day. There was something about sitting outside, enjoying the food, and taking in the atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable.
I’ll be honest—Cooper's Hawk really surprised me. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I arrived, but by the end of the meal, I was genuinely impressed by the overall experience.
