Food was quite good. I had some bread, and a risotto. Not too salty!! We were also gifted some chocolates due to insignificant issues. The waitress was lovely and ensured that everything was gf for me!

Solid takeout options- didnt get sick 2x. They gave me a regular pretzel bun one time though and had them double check un the back… they said they added it at the end. So if you do checkout ask for gluten free roll not gluten full.

Ordered the gluten free lettuce wraps. Was in the middle of making one when a server came out with the Gluten free lettuce wraps. Turned out they gave me the wrong ones. Luckily I hadn't taken a bite yet. They were very apologetic. They were delicious! Also had the grouper, fantastic! Gluten free bread was good, too. Tested it with my Nima and got a smiley! Just be extra careful that you get the correct food!

Visited here for the first time and the server was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and gluten allergies. I have Celiac disease and am very sensitive to any cross contamination and I had no trouble here. I ordered the steak salad and they even brought out gluten free bread beforehand! I felt very safe eating at this restaurant and the wine was yummy too!

Although they have many GF options, the waitress I had needs to be trained better when it comes to gluten allergies. I ordered a salad off the gluten free menu and she brought it out with croutons on it. Other than that it’s a great place to go. Just make sure your waiter/waitress understands what GF means.

Cooper’s Hawk has an extensive GF menu, their wait staff are extremely knowledgeable about allergies, their food is amazing and I’ve eaten here multiple times now without getting sick. They have outdoor seating, a standing wine bar, a regular bar and formal seating. I would highly recommend this spot!

Great. Even adapted a dish to be both gf and vegetarian: not just taking out chicken from a pasta dish but adding broccoli, roasted carrots and parsnips, which were Delish. Beautiful place with fab wine. Lots of gf choices.

I had the lunch portion of the salmon. All naturally gf options. I appreciated the gf roll. I was looking forward to the gf brownie, but they were out- very sad as dessert is rare for me since I also avoid dairy. A bit pricey, but good; great staff and yummy wine.

Large gluten free menu, including several desserts to choose from. Food was good, my daughter loved her burger, I enjoyed my portables burger, although the roll was a little crumbly and it was a touch dry. They do have the best iced tea I've ever had- blueberry pomegranate. It was light, not too sweet, but flavorful. I'd come back just for the tea!

Great selection of GF dishes (salads, burgers, entrees). It was wonderful to be served bread, an appetizer, main course and dessert that was delicious and safe.

Cooper's Hawk opened at Easton Town Center in Columbus on Monday this week. Imagine my excitement when I saw they offered a gluten-free menu and my first thought was "I have to try it immediately."

So by Wednesday, I was eating there for the first time. Check out the size of this gluten-free menu....

They even have 5 gluten-free desert options!

I told our waitress about my gluten allergy and she made sure the kitchen knew I was there. They brought out the pretzel bread for my dinner date and a gluten-free bun for me to try.

We started with an appetizer of shrimp wrapped in bacon - delicious. The shrimp were large and I easily got 2-3 bites out of them.

Dinner was the pepper jack, bacon cheeseburger - the bun was a little much for me since I already had one when we first got there so I ended up eating the burger naked. There were several sides I could select from and I ended up with Mary's mashed potatoes.

I got a gluten-free brownie to take home and shared it with my husband. It was simply delicious. Light, fluffy and moist!

The manager even came out after my meal to make sure everything was ok and I enjoyed my meal. He explained the gluten-free process and that they are very sensitive to cross contamination and pride themselves on making safe gluten-free experiences for their guests.

After this tasty meal, I decided to bring my family last night to try something new on the menu. They've already been to all the places around us to eat so it was a great change for them to try something new.

Last night's meal blew the lid off of any other gluten-free meal I've had at other places. Wildfire Chicago is a close second to this dish.

I decided to try something totally new and went with the short rib risotto and it was best decision I've ever made. The meat was tender, moist and fell apart with my fork into the risotto. The sauce was incredible and the truffle oil on top with parmesan shavings tied everything together perfectly.

We ended the meal with some chocolate covered strawberries. They were ok, not the best but then again it's hard to compete with Godiva strawberries. I just didn't think they were ripe enough before being covered in the chocolate.

I do have one comment about the restaurant - we had reservations at 7:30pm. While we didn't wait longer than 5 minutes for our table, imagine our confusion when they were quoting people a 2-3 hour wait for a table and then there were at least 10-15 empty tables in the dining room when we were seated. Maybe it was lack of staff, but it was strange in my book.

I want to preface this by saying I LOVE Cooper’s Hawk, I’ve had a wine membership for years and have never once (until now) had a problem eating at any of the 3 locations I’ve been to. They’ve always been very knowledgeable and accommodating. I always tell my server I have celiac disease when I order, even with the gluten free menu because I have significant symptoms, and they’ve always been wonderful about it.

That being said, I found a piece of gnocchi in my risotto there tonight and consequently am now in one of the worst symptom flares I’ve been in. I alerted my server to the issue right away and she and the manager were very apologetic and comped my meal. They even helped wheel me out to my car because I have POTS as well and gluten always triggers syncopal episodes for me.

I‘ve worked in restaurants before, and I know there’s no way to guarantee no cross contamination with a shared kitchen, so I don’t really fault Cooper’s Hawk. I’d still recommend them to anyone gluten free, celiac or not. Just wanted to make sure anyone else with intense symptoms knows this happened so they can use their best judgement the next time they go 🤍

Oh my gosh. Delicious food offered from a gluten free menu. Many options and delicious. Also served a gf bread when my husband ate his delicious pretzel bread ( which if you are not gf; it’s to “die for”). Good service and yummy wines paired with food.

Guys. I went here for my birthday. These lazy gluten eating waiters never even came to take an order, give us a menu, or a kiss on both cheeks. Yes the gluten free menu and kitchen environment are gluten free, but when you disappoint me on my birthday you better expect me to leave a strongly worded 4 star review and bring up this experience every time I hear someone mention your restaurant. Some may say I’m petty. But I say I’m just hungry.
