Cooper's Hawk

Their Gluten Free menu has so many options, all done so well it was hard to choose! I had the short rib risotto- really delicious! And they provide warm gluten free bread before the meal. I was so pleased with the experience!

This is my "go to" and I absolutely love it. I have the most "normal" dining experience here and don't feel deprived as the GF menu is so extensive (front and back!). The servers are knowledgeable, and they even have a fresh baked tasty GF bread loaf they bring with butter when they bring bread for the rest of the table. I was told the owner's wife is Celiac and they have a totally separate preparation area for all their GF items so I've felt very safe re cross contamination and I've never gotten sick. Also great wine and GF dessert options. 10 out of 10 in my book!

This place is fantastic! They have a gf menu and Server was very aware and made recommendations. She said the kitchen staff were made aware and order is marked. I had the Risotto with shrimp only as I’m also allergic to shellfish so no scallops for me. It was fantastic and everyone else in my party enjoyed their non-gf food. Plus you get wine tasting and recommendations for pairing.

Staff was very accommodating when notified half our dining party was gluten free. Decent options, they said they have a printed menu but we both used their online menu.

Great with allergies and really good food. I do takeout a bunch and its good too. Make sure to pick the GF version if you order online. Also they tend to forget things on takeout like salad dressing so check your order! Also gf bread is so nice to have

I had broiled grouper and I really enjoyed it! I was worried about coming here but our server was great and told me they have a separate ticketing system for GF orders that flags them to go through an allergen protocol. Can't wait to try out a new dish on our next visit

Ate at the Reston, VA location last night and it was a terrible experience. The service was sub-par, however, the worst part was that I was blatantly glutened!!! There were 2 pieces of gluten-filled gnocchi in my supposedly GF chicken primavera pasta (which is prepared with certified GF Barilla pasta) Needless to say I am sick. Thank goodness my intolerance doesn’t cause me to be to be hospitalized. I know that many others would be much worse off then I am. Their GF menu is extensive but I will have a very difficult time convincing myself to go back. So disappointing.

Celiac friendly?

No

I decided to check this place out based on the reviews. I ordered the chopped wedge salad, Mexican drunken shrimp, and short rib risotto. Everything was excellent. They even brought out gluten free bread. I highly recommend this place!

Yes

Excellent GF menu, everything made from scratch and customizable. Wonderful dessert options too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was my third time eating here md I’ve had a great experience every time. There are lots of choices on the GF menu from entrees, pastas, burgers and salads and the wine is quite good as well. I’m really glad this restaurant is another great GF option in Reston

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A huge gluten-free menu is available and the food is amazing. They even made me my own gluten-free roll. My husband had the steak and shrimp and it was delicious and I had the chicken piccata which was the best I’ve ever had. I also had Brûlé for dessert. They had several desserts you can pick from gluten-free as well. The best of the red wine if you like your wine less sweet. they were good about letting us try the wines before we bought a glass. The waitress was very friendly and the restaurant was nice and new looking. It is absolutely become my favorite restaurant here.

I usually love this place, and have never had an issue, but the most recent time I got glutened. There was a noodle mixed in with my meal, and then when I talked to the manager about it, he said that they boil all items together. So they boiled my green beans in with the regular pasta and other items. He said the water is so hot that it “cooks off the gluten”. There’s always a risk eating out, but be extra careful here!

This is the only restaurant where I feel completely safe ordering any item off their GF menu. And they have the most extensive GF menu in this area!

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.
