I have eaten at this location many times. It is hit or miss as some others have said. It really depends on the server as other locations are fabulous. The food is great just make sure you are very clear on the allergies. I do like their risotto and it’s a safe choice.

Hit or miss. We like this place because food is decent and they have a gluten-free menu. However, you never know if they are actually doing it with care in the kitchen. Had a few times ordered meals that were not gluten free. It’s really disappointing as we want to enjoy our meals but their credibility is not there.

I’ve successfully eaten here many times without a celiac response. The bread is quite lovely, making the chicken sandwich the best I’ve eaten in a year. There is a breaded chicken which makes me think I’m eating fried food. I’ve eaten pasta successfully. And of course you come for the wine!

After eating here safely in the past, I had a waitress that didn’t take my mother and I, who are both celiacs, seriously and we both ended up sick.

We’re not eating this way as a fad diet!!!

No issues getting sick and have been a few times. One waiter needed to be reminded apparently of gluten free with an item on the gluten free menu was ordered.. He brought me two gluten free shrimp after and said he wouldn't charge me 🤦🏼‍♀ this most recent time I just made sure to say gf with each item to be safe. I haven't sick any of times I have eaten here.

They do a nice job, I have had baby showers, rehearsal dinner and much more here and I haven’t gotten sick. I did have one experience where I didn’t feel confident in my server and the food brought out to me and the manager offered to remake but I chose to not and they gave us a card for a meal on them.

The waitress knew I have celiac disease and carried regular bread and my glass of water in the same hand with the glass touching the bread. Then proceeded to try to put the bread down right in front of me. We made her take the bread and water away and explained why. My husband asked her if she had been trained on how to handle gluten-free meals. She said no. We explained what happened to the front of the house manager who assured us that he would personally take care of things and that our gluten-free meals would be served by a manager. I decided to stay because of his assurances that all would be safe and it was my husband's birthday. The food was NOT brought to our table by a manager and they sent a different server every time. The food was NOT safe and now I am sick as a dog! I will NEVER go there again.

Cooper's Hawk has a great GF menu. The staff has always been super knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination. I've been here several times and always have a pleasant experience.

Celiac-friendly! Our 2 celiac diners had no adverse reactions to the food, and considering how careful they are "behind the scenes," this doesn't surprise me. There is an extensive GF-specific menu with GF rolls offered before the meal. We'll definitely be back.

This restaurant did NOT disappoint. We were staying at the Westin and had a not so pleasant experience at Saranello's. We walked across the parking lot to Cooper's Hawk. They were closing the kitchen in a half an hour, but didn't act like we were a bother. They spent time going through the menu and while we were waiting for our food (since we ordered to go), we spent time at the Wine Tasting. The gal who assisted us was quite knowledgeable and we were also listening to the other servers conversation who was very knowledgeable.

We enjoyed tastes of the Cabernet-White Zinn combo, Moscato and the Pomegranate wines. I like sweeter wines so enjoyed the Moscato and Pomegranate wines. I did not care for the Cabernet-White Zinn combination, but my husband enjoyed that.

We ordered the COOPER'S HAWK CHICKEN GIARDINIERA$16.99

Parmesan Breaded Chicken, Shaved Parmesan, Mary’s Potatoes

CHICKEN MADEIRA$17.99

Mushrooms, Provolone, Mary’s Potatoes, Asparagus

The parmesan crusted chicken was excellent and my 12 year old loved it. We ordered the GIARDINIERA sauce on the side and am glad we did. It had a bit of a kick to it and my son didn't really care for the taste. I liked it, but then I love veggies and spices so it was perfect for me! The Chicken Madeira was excellent and the chicken almost melted in our mouths it was so tender. There were lots of mushrooms and it had a perfect taste.

We ordered a white chocolate truffle and a turtle truffle which were awesome! We also ordered the Creme Brulee for dessert and there was plenty for all 3 of us to enjoy.

We were so glad that Cooper's Hawk was there close by to save the day when we wanted a later dinner and weren't treated so well at Saranello's.

We will definitely return!

They have some items that are naturally gluten free. They will also swap out for gluten free buns on their sandwiches

Had a great Gluten Free meal. So many great options. I had to ask the server twice if he was sure it was gluten free. I felt very safe with cross contamination. I will definitely be back.
