Cooper's Hawk

Great experience here. Waiter brought over warm Hawaiian type bread with whipped butter as soon as I asked for a GF menu. The GF menu was huge! Had bacon wrapped shrimp, Thai lettuce wraps with 3 great sauces. Then got chicken picatta recommended by waitress. Truly delicious, reasonable and excellent wait service. Can't wait to go back.

Ordered a gluten free carbonara which was described as being served with gluten free penne. When it came out, it didn’t have penne noodles. I asked the waitress if it was gf and she said she thought so but would ask. Next thing I know they’re taking my plate away. They gave me a normal gluten containing meal despite me telling them I have celiac disease. The manager did come out and apologize but did not offer a discount or anything. I felt like this was really careless and it could have been detrimental to me. We won’t be back.

Staff are always knowledgeable about the menu, careful to ensure no cross contamination. Gluten free menu has lots of options and the wines re gluten free. Dessert options are a rarity and delicious. Food is great. Highly recommend off peak times vs dinner hour as service is much better then - have had a couple of bad experiences at dinner but always great at lunch.

They have a separate GF menu with a ton of choices! The waitress was very knowledgeable asking if GF was a preference or an allergy. Food was fantastic!

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.
