Cooper's Hawk

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!

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

I’ve dined here several times and have always had a great experience. There are a lot of gluten free options, staff is knowledgeable, and the food is excellent! It’s the only place I’ve dined where they offer to bring gluten free bread to the table before the meal at no extra charge. They even have gf desserts.

I am changing my review. I used to be able to trust this place no matter what, but before I left Northwest Indiana in autumn 2020, the last three or four meals that I received from CH got me very sick. Most of them were before Covid. There was one after Covid that was a carry out order, and we spent a fortune for it and I couldn’t eat it because they cross contaminated my steak with bread.If you order from there, I would recommend that you talk to a manager. Do not just give your order to the wait staff. They really need to work at getting their act together. This makes me very sad because I used to love Coopers Hawk. I went there for many many many years, and I recommended it to so many people. Worse yet, the last time I called to complain, they said they would send me some coupons, and I never received them. I had an entire group of people that I was going to bring there. Maybe they have it in the system that I called to complain previously, and they decided to ignore me, Or maybe they knew I was moving out of the area and they decided to ignore me. I don’t know, but I come into the area all the time and I would eat there all the time, except now I can’t trust them anymore.
