I am very sensitive to cross-contamination and rarely eat out due to that. However, I felt completely safe eating here. My boyfriend and I both ordered gluten free so I could try everything. They brought gf bread to the table that was actually good! We got the Drunken Shrimp, Chicken Piccata and Gnocchi. All were amazing!!! A little on the pricey side but SO worth it!
Went upon recommendations from a friend w/celiac. We had a large group, only one of us required gluten-free and were highly impressed at the menu options (gluten-free and not) and knowledge of the wait staff. Highlight: my daughter w/celiac received her own gluten-free bread prior to the meal! Was very busy on a Friday night, we’d made reservations in advance.
It was easy to call ahead and the gluten free bread was amazing. I will go back no doubt.

Cooper’s Hawk is a great choice if you are looking for a little upscale feeling, without needing to present upscale. The food is not always amazing, but it’s always good. They are great with making sure food is gluten free, and prepared safely; you just have to tell them. That being said, while the kitchen staff/mangers are usually great about gf, the waiters are not always the most knowledgeable. I would suggest being extra clear with them, teaching them the process, including how they shouldn’t bring gluten bread to your table.
I had a wonderful GF meal, including an appetizer, entree and dessert. They have a GF menu with a good amount of items. I recommend this restaurant and will be back.
Have eaten here many times and never had a problem. Staff is always reassuring and I feel safe eating here, many options!
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 .
Have a large GF menu, seemed knowledgeable about CC, but no dedicated fryer. Gluten free desserts as well :-)
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
Went for a work party. They were knowledgeable and accommodating. I didn’t get sick and they even had a safe desert option
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.
Fantastic food and service. They double check everything systematically in the back and I was constantly reassured every step of the way. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Went here for my birthday dinner. Good options and great wine
Large gluten free menu with a variety of options. The atmosphere was great. The restaurant has gluten free bread and brought me my own butter without asking. I would definitely go back.
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!
My son and I both have celiac. The food was decent and we didn’t have any reaction.
The Gluten Free meal , service and experience was great. Highly recommend this restaurant for those with Celiacs disease and eating gluten free. Full separate menu and we had confirmation of a separate kitchen preparation of the meal.
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
Gluten free menu. Food is excellent although a little pricey. They even bring you GF bread. One of my new fave spots for meeting up with friends
I’ve eaten here a few times and never gotten sick. The food is delicious and they have an extensive gluten free menu.
Excellent!! Many GF options and they take good care for medical/celiac conditions
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 literally loved this place. They had a specific gluten free bread they served before the meal and their own gluten free menu. I felt reassure d when the hostess began by asking if there were any allergies such as gluten as soon as we got there.
This is the third time I’ve been to a Cooper’s hawk and first time at this location. All have been safe! The manager did not come talk to me like at the other locations but the food tested :) with my Nima and did not make me sick! I always get the Parmesan crusted chicken and my boyfriend got the gluten-free gnocci carbonara and loved it!
Very nice dinner and an extensive GF menu. Server was knowledgeable and attentive, even brought us a loaf of GF bread when she brought bread for the rest of the table. We even knew which cocktails were GF.
After dropping our luggage off at the airport, we got a Lyft over to Coopers Hawk. The gluten free menu is extensive and amazing. The wait staff was knowledgeable and amazing. The meal was wonderful with no issues. As always, the wine is fantastic!!!!
Really appreciated the waiter’s attention to celiac. Brought me gf bread before our meal that was warm and so so good! Tortilla soup was one of the best I’ve had and it was my first since my diagnosis. Yum! Ahi tuna was also really good but not filling
