To put it simple, you need to eat here. Cooper’s Hawk was such a great experience for my wife and I. She has a gluten allergy, but without hesitation, this was probably the most secure we’ve felt going out to eat. The staff was extremely accommodating and our waiter, Paul K., knew the menu like the back of his hand. He spoke in detail about numerous items on the menu, making good recommendations that spoke to our palates. I ordered the pretzel crusted pork chops and I’d order them again 1000 times over. Phenomenal. The sauce tied everything together and complimented the potatoes and broccoli. What a perfect plate of food. My wife got the braised short rib risotto and they were so flavorful. Of course, it was gluten free and indicated as such on a dedicated gluten free menu. She actually had a hard time deciding because she wasn’t used to having so many options, but she’s glad with what she got. The flavor was perfect. We shared a flourless chocolate torte for dessert and we inhaled it. Delicious.

We went for our anniversary which we noted on our reservation, and the staff came through. A couple of people wished us happy anniversary and we received complimentary champagne - what a phenomenal service.

We’ll definitely be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal on New Year’s Eve.,( grouper, wedge salad) . My own GF hot bread was great. Separate gf menu, Dessert options, knowledgeable wait staff. My son’s meal was really delayed and manager, Ashley, comped him soup, a drink and then the meal itself when it still wasn’t out and my husband and I were almost finished with our meals. Will definitely go back .

Outstanding! Our server, Mike Rees was very knowledgeable about gf safety. The bread was great and the meal was fantastic. Our new fine dining restaurant.

Update! We made reservations for thanksgiving because we had such a great experience. We were not disappointed. Our server, Sage, could not have been more helpful. She knew the gf offerings and was a fantastic server. As before, the food was great. This restaurant provides great food, service and a safe gf environment. Well done

This experience was a 10/10. Starting with a specific gluten free menu that was assured not cross contaminated with any gluten products. Our waitress Charlotte was overall eccentric, made our experience very comfortable. This is definitely celiac friendly and will be back again.

I have celiac disease and am very sensitive to gluten. The restaurant has gluten free menu with many options but it is not celiac friendly. I talked with my server and she was knowledgeable about celiac. but eventually I had a severe symptom after eating there.

Had an incredible experience with Ashley L at Coopers Hawk in Troy. I explained that I had celiac and was nervous about eating since I had gotten glutened previously from a separate restaurant the week prior (not Coopers Hawk) but she assured me she would handle all my food, and that either she or the manager would be the ones to handle my food. I got the salmon which was incredible, absolutely going back!

Huge gluten free menu. They bring out gluten free bread as a starter as well (best bread ever!) I have never had an issue eating here. The food and service is great. The waiters/waitresses even have to get allergy orders approved/signed by the manager and chef before cooking the meal to ensure less cross contamination

We decided to try Cooper’s Hawk as there is a really massive, separate gluten free menu which has so many great options. When the server offered us bread before taking our order, my husband (trying to be helpful) blurted out, “She has Celiac Disease so she can’t have bread.” The server didn’t miss a beat and said, “would you like a gluten free bun?” I was thrilled that she knew what celiac was and thankfully said yes. I imagined I’d receive a hamburger bun but it was actually a really nice, large, warmed roll. And it came out on a plate instead of the cutting board my husband’s bread came out on. I was encouraged that they must know about cross contact if they knew a cutting board wouldn’t be safe!

When I asked questions about ordering and a particular item, the server said, “i don’t think that’s actually safe because of cross contact...” but then said, “nope. Actually i thought about it more and there is no cross contact so it would be safe!”

I had an amazing meal without feeling like I missed out on anything! I’ll definitely go back!!

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.
