Amazing food. The G/F bread was the best I have had, hands down. They understand allergies and food restrictions!

Cooper’s Hawk does not disappoint for safe Celiac eating! Both of our kids have Celiac and our daughter is extremely sensitive to any cross-contamination. The gluten-free menu here has a wide variety of meals and we even had gluten-free salted caramel crème brûlée for dessert. My son had chicken carbonara and my daughter had a cheeseburger. A reliable place with a great variety of yummy choices

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.

I didn’t have a good experience here. I wanted over an hour for my food and was then told that they accidentally made it with gluten so I had to wait more. When I got my food it was a soupy mess. I appreciate that they caught their mistake so I didn’t get sick but the food that I got wasn’t good either.

The best gluten free bread! The waitress was so attentive and wonderful with gluten free. Their menu is clearly marked and their food was absolutely delicious. We got their shrimp appetizer and it was one of the best appetizers I’ve had. I wish I had a location close to me at home. I will be stopping at one every time I find one near me lol.

First time eating here. I spoke to my server about my gluten allergy and she assured me that my food would be cooked properly. I ordered the chicken risotto from the gluten free menu and it was delicious. They also have gluten free bread. I’ll definitely be back.

There was an extensive gluten free menu to choose from! As both a pescatarian and newly GF, I was excited to see the menu options as large as most restaurants entire menus! The food was delicious, and we had great service. The server made a point of saying “the gf grouper” as my plate was being set down. I’m confident there wasn’t any cross contamination. I had the grouper, asparagus and Mary’s potatoes with a mustard sauce complimented with a glass of their Pinot Grigio. Everyone’s food was enjoyed and plates were practically licked clean. We’ll definitely be back!

I’m very allergic to gluten and dairy and I’ve never had an issue here. Sad that the gf bread has dairy but still so many options on the menu. Pasta, salmon and potatoes, Napa salad and the lettuce wraps have never gotten me sick here.

The gluten free menu is double sided with a lot of delicious sounding options. When they brought out regular bread before the meal, they brought me a loaf of hot gluten free bread that was airy and slightly sweet 🤤 I'm in heaven. I ordered the braised short rib risotto paired with California red wine. My husband does not have to eat gluten free and enjoyed his meal too (but his shrimp and scallops risotto was also gluten free). For dessert we shared the s'more budino and salted caramel creme brûlée. The bread and desserts were our favorite parts of the meal even though the risottos were great too! Our server, Tony, was great, helpful, and low pressure. Atmosphere is wonderful - upscale but not stuffy (no dress code) with warm lighting and the option of outdoor seating. We made a reservation several nights out since the night we called, they were completely booked. No doubt I will want to come every time I'm in the area!

Oh my goodness, if you have Celiac and find yourself in Tampa, come here. The gluten free menu is pretty big and lots of variety. Not only was my food safe and tasty, I got a small round loaf of bread. I felt so special.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow! Amazing menu! I had the chopped bbq chicken salad and it was great.

This was our first time here and we already love this place! We were pleased to find that they had a dedicated GF menu and they even had burgers on it with the bun! Our server Joanna attentive, knowledgeable and addressed every concern. We also joined the wine club so we will definitely be back! 5 stars!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They were so helpful with all gluten related questions! They even brought me a separate loaf of gluten free bread before the meal which was delicious! Very extensive gf menu!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff seemed knowledgeable. Large separate GF menu (even bread so I was sitting watching everyone else eat their!). Manager brought all food for me out.

After reading other reviews and looking at the menu I decided to give this place a try while on vacation. Hands down best meal I have ever had in a restaurant since being diagnosed. The GF bun they serve as bread before your meal is so good. I was lucky to get one to take with me. 😁 I had chicken madeira with mashed potatoes and asparagus and it was AMAZING. I wish we had one of these restaurants back home because I would be eating there at least once a week that’s how good it was.

Great food! Very accommodating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wide variety of GF options. Knowledgeable about GF. GF rolls offered at the beginning of meal. Celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was wonderful. Given gluten free menu immediately when notified. Entree was good and definitely gluten free. I wanted dessert but decided to take home a creme brûlée. Within minutes of eating I got very ill.

My girlfriend and I both have Celiac disease. She has eaten here on multiple occasions and has never had a problem. I ate here tonight and the food was amazing. We made a reservation and let the kitchen know before we arrived that allergy prep was necessary and everyone knew when we sat down that this was the situation. They have a gluten free menu. I am impressed with their execution. For me this place knows how to address Celiac preparation. You should try it for yourself. I fully recommend the Mexican Drunken Shrimp.

We have eaten at Cooper's Hawk quite a few times with three strictly gluten-free people. I love this restaurant and the food, but it's not totally safe. Once our party was served regular bread despite gf menus (which we sent back), once my dad was served a regular meal. That was OK because he's gf to support the rest of us. On this last visit they gave me regular pasta, despite requesting gf menus and detailing very carefully to the waiter who was gf and who wasn't at our table. I was tired and didn't question my meal when it arrived. The manager did come to tell me what happened, and apologized and comped my meal, but I ended up sick on my vacation. So, by all means eat here, but be very cautious and double-check what is delivered to the table.

Four stars ONLY because I think they glutened me with blue cheese stuffed olives in my martini. This place is amazing and claims to have separate prep areas so rating it celiac friendly based on 1) knowledge of servers 2) separate GF menu and 3) reported separate prep space.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I hate writing this review because this used to be my go to gluten free restaurant. I ordered gluten free pasta and before I left I looked at the box and it had a GF written on box so I didn't bother looking inside before I drove the 45 minutes home. Once I got home I realized that they gave me regular pasta BUT wrote GF on it anyways. So so disappointing! This is the 3rd time this has happened to me recently and I can no longer trust them. How could you write GF on a box that is full of gluten food!

Celiac friendly?

No

Great menu and had high hopes after reading reviews. Enjoyed a wonderful lunch of chicken piccata. Unfortunately I got glutened. Not sure what happened. Manager delivered food as per protocol I read in another review.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do GF right! from the wine to the gf bread before dinner to the several gf dining options...I'm celiac and had no reaction. Thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten at Cooper’s Hawk Annapolis many times over the years. I just ate there for the second time since my celiac diagnosis. The menu is extensive, and their recommended wine pairings are helpful. There is an actual physical gf menu. It has a number of good offerings. Last time the salad I ordered came out with croutons by mistake. The server was very embarrassed and said she threw it out herself and spoke with the chef. I appreciated the server’s concern. It was a good meal and evening.

Fortunately this time there weren’t any hiccups. The server said she marked my order “gluten allergy”, which would mean it would be cooked separately. The server brought me warm gf bread, a good Cabernet S., a kale caesar side salad and, for the main course, a Black and Bleu cheeseburger, grilled squash and fresh fruit. It was all delicious. I may join their wine club.

The service was wonderful and the restaurant was very welcoming. My son has Celiac Disease so I can’t personally comment on his food but he ordered the Chicken Madeira and it looked amazing and he says he loved it. He ate everything on his plate so I would have to agree, he enjoyed his dinner. There is a separate gluten free menu with lots of options. His plate was served first and separate from our order. The rest of our us also thoroughly enjoyed our food.
