I had the most amazing Parmesan crusted chicken! Oh and they had warm gluten free bread they were able to bring out too!! Also had the crème brûlée, and there were a few other dessert options. I would absolutely recommend eating here

My dish was GF, but I did need to tell the waiter a couple of times I had celiac. He assured me it would be GF, but he was very nonchalant about it.

They have a very nice list of options. Great place for “nice” dining out on the east side of Orlando. Son enjoyed. Can be long waits so reservations are a good idea.

We got glutened!

After getting a GF menu and asking for gf and df meals, my daughter ordered the ahi tuna. The chef was in an interview so someone put soy based sauce on the plate.

It sloshed on her asparagus. (Mind you they had already remade the meal since someone put butter on the last plate but they caught it before bringing to the table.)

I asked a server just to confirm that the sauce was gf. He asked someone and said it was. She started eating it.

Then the manager came over and told my daughter it is not gf. They comped her meal and offered to make her another one. He asked her if she’s going to get sick. She told him yes and that she has celiac disease and is allergic. He was unfamiliar with celiac disease.

I explained that we pick restaurants of this caliber thinking that they have better practices.

He was sincerely apologetic and said they have procedures to avoid this but it slipped through the cracks due to the server not wanting to interrupt the chef.

What a fiasco!

Went for business lunch yesterday & everyone in my party was impressed with the choice. Rachel our waitress was discreet about my GF and brought a specific GF bread loaf as well as asked if i wanted the GF specific menu. The problem came when the food was delivered by a male waiter. He loudly & repeatedly said "Rachel.is coming with the allergy"!! As if serving the men at the table first wasnt bad enough, he took what was an elevated experience & told not only my coworkers but new boss about my medical condition 🙈. At least the risotto was really good.

Awesome experience and a great GF menu selection. Almost cried when I received a GF bread loaf, that was soft and warm. Ordered the Drunken Ship Shrimp app, the Barramundi entree and the salted caramel crème brûlée. Everything was amazing and I had no reactions. Our waitress went above and beyond to ensure all of my items came GF and the manager also stopped by our table. Will definitely be back soon!

They provided me with an entire gluten free menu that had appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts. It was a front and back menu, which was pleasantly surprising. They notify the staff in the kitchen when there’s a food allergy, etc. All the food tasted wonderful.

Had a great experience here! Food was fantastic and I felt my concerns were taken seriously (it helped half our party was gluten-free/celiac too!). The gluten-free bread was delicious and I had the scallops and creme brulee for entree/dessert. Absolutely wonderful. Would eat here again!

They had a separate GF menu with a variety of options. Instead of a normal bread and butter tasting, they provided a GF bun with butter. I felt it was so-so but chewy. For my appetizer I had the Viognier wine and shaved Brussel sprout salad. Both were excellent. For my main entree I ordered the roasted butternut squash with brown butter cream sauce from the pasta section. It was lite and full of flavor. For dessert I ordered the chocolate and flight of wine pairing. The chocolates were superb, rich, and dense. We picked the wines (blueberry, cranberry & passion fruit). My favorite was the passion fruit and blueberry. The staff was very accommodating and understanding. No issues at all. I plan to go back.

Cooper's Hawk has a separate, well-produced gluten-free menu that looks similar to their regular menu. There are so many choices and the servers are so well informed about gluten-free diets and are so helpful. So far, the best menu, options, and service in our new gluten-free experience.

Food was excellent, service experience was poor to downright rude (example: when being seated we asked for a larger table to accommodate our party, which we had made reservations for months in advance. Instead of saying "sure, but you may need to wait a few more minutes for a table" the retort was snarky, "well there was no mention of a table request when you made your reservation, this is where we seat you". We had never dined there before, how do we know you take a 4-top and add extra chairs and squish everyone in? We then had to argue the point and finally were moved to another table). I would return for takeout only. They do have an extensive GF menu, and it tastes great. If you or someone in your party is vegetarian, you're almost out of luck. (Most items are made with chicken stock or other meat-related ingredient so you can't just omit the meat item in the dish). In the future our group will return to Season's 52 for our annually work holiday dinner, which also has great food and MUCH better service.

My favorite for GF options. I love the Parmesan crusted chicken and the mashed potatoes are so good. For an appetizer the lettuce wraps with cashew sauce were excellent. It's the one restaurant I can go to and order off a real GF dedicated menu, order a delicious meal, and not feel different being GF. I've eaten there many times and have had no problems.

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.
