Cooper's Hawk

I had the thai lettuce wraps off the gluten free menu and they were great. They also brought me some gluten free bread (which had a different plate and look to the normal bread), which was also great! I didn't try any of the drinks but I will probably go back and try some because that's kind of what the restaurant is about.

Separate gluten free menu. Food is amazing! They normally bring a pretzel roll to the table but they have a GF roll if you tell them! There are many dinner options my favorite is the Parmesan crusted chicken. The mashed potatoes are so good. Dessert options too!

I’ve always loved Cooper’s Hawk, but recently went back after finding out I have celiac. There’s a separate menu (a condensed version of the original), but there was still so much to choose from! I could even choose from some of their appetizers and desserts. The waitress also brought me my own gluten free bread.

Best experience I've had out to eat in a long time. They brought me a gluten free bun when I told them of my gluten allergies. Hostess asked the party about any allergies before being seated, with special menu for gluten free. Free wine samples from multiple bottles that were delicious. Food was incredible and they brought out the gluten free dish first before bringing out the non-gluten free ones for the rest of my party. I had the filet with grilled broccoli and whipped mashed potatoes with dark chocolate truffles for dessert. The truffles were served with what appeared to be a strawberry sauce and vanilla creme anglais, they were delicous. Full menu of gf options for dinner, appetizers and dessert. I bought two bottles of wine on the way out the door and they comped us a box of six more truffles. 10/10 service, food, and experience.

Traveling with a family member who is gluten sensitive is always a challenge. When I saw they had a gf menu we knew we had to give it a try. In addition to an extensive gf menu they have gf bread. The food was excellent as was the service. Our gf family member had the pasta w/chicken and finished the whole thing.

AMAZING! Please go!!!!! I was hesitant at first of course, full gluten free menu for myself. They even brought out gluten free bread as a starter and it was AMAZING. I had to double check it was gluten free, that’s how delicious it was. Ordered appetizers and dinner and no issues! 10/10! Will return again!!

Delicious choices and a decent sized gluten free menu! I had the drunken shrimp (amazing) and the grilled chicken sandwich with bacon, guacamole, and ranch dressing. All delicious. The waitress was very attentive and asked when she came to the table whether it was a preference or Celiac. We have eaten here twice with no issues and will definitely eat here again 🥰

They pull out all the stops. They ask when you're seated if there are any allergies. As long as you communicate that gf is not a preference (but a must), your ticket is marked for extra care and attention.

The server even asked if it was okay to bring the regular bread to the table for other who were not restricted (I appreciate that level of concern). They do have gf bread available upon request.

They are clear that it's a shared space but they do all they can with fresh new everything for allergy tickets (yes, not an allergy for celiac but it gets the point across to folks who aren't familiar with the difference.)

Absolutely spectacular! I’ve never been to a place with so many gluten free options. They even have a good amount of items on the dessert menu! Also.. GLUTEN FREE BREAD! I’m not just talking buns- I’m talking fresh appetizer bread! I’ve never ever been to place with that and it was freshly made! Sooo good! Hope this place never leaves.

Be careful. On 2 occasions I ordered gf with allergy and were served the potatoes that contain gluten. I knew by looking and them but if you didn't know there could be an issue. On the most recent time the food runner also stated my dish as being gf when she sat it down. The manager was apologetic but that doesn't make up for the error

One of the best meals I have ever had. The gf menu was extensive and the staff seemed to really care about my dietary needs.

I didn’t get gf bread either time I went like the previous reviews stated.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our waiter was amazing. Very knowledgeable. Brought out gluten free bread and dessert for my birthday that was gf. They have quite a few options, I ordered the scallops and they were delicious. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it. I am not celiac, but avoid eating gluten so I always like to add that because my sensitivity level may differ from celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best GF dishes and apps!!! Excellent GF bread as well!

Understanding service, great gluten free menu, and delicious food.

They have a very extensive gluten free menu. They will even bring you gluten free bread and butter when everyone else at your table gets pretzel bread. Sometimes the bread is really fresh. Other times, it is not fresh at all. The food is delicious. Several dessert options too!

I was served a non GF meal here....was a dish I had prior and knew right away from the side dish that it was not right.

Awesome place with a whole menu full of choices. They pay attention to detail and understand how to handle food properly and safely. Have eaten here multiple times without an issue.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food and attention to detail. I’ve been here about 8 times, including carry out. (I’m a sensitive celiac.) The menu is extensive. Someone else mentioned they were sick and I don’t understand how that would be if gluten is the only issue and the items were ordered off the gf menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eaten here 4 times, met with Manager 3 times and I’ve gotten sick all 4 times. I am severely gluten intolerant and was sick for days afterwards each time.

Celiac friendly?

No

Extensive GF menu with MANY options. Delicious food, great service. Free wine samples also!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have celiacs and I am very impressed with Cooper’s Hawk. They have an extensive gluten-free menu and it is all made celiac-safe. They clean off surfaces and wash their prep areas to ensure there is no cross contamination. I had the drunken shrimp appetizer & parmesan-crusted chicken for dinner and they were both phenomenal. I had no reactions and everything was amazing. :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love, love, love! The food is delish and they have a gf menu that is actually PAGES long.. so many things to choose from and they know what they are doing. Waitstaff is knowledgeable and don't look at you like you are a pain in the a$$.. lol I have Celiac and ate without an issue They are in Partridge Creek Mall.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The regular food is fantastic and they have a gluten free menu. My wife has celiac disease and has had several items including the gluten free bread options, desserts, entrees and more without any issue. This evening she noticed an item on the gluten free menu that normally is not gluten free (ponzu sauce). The manager came over and discussed it with her and after reviewing the recipe with the kitchen staff they realized the gluten free menu had a misprint. At any rate, it was completely safe, gluten free and great (lettuce wraps). We will continue to go to Coopers Hawk and the Sarasota location is great!

Food and wine was very good. Service was amazing. Server made sure to put in a ticket outlining Celiac Disease for a gluten free meal. Server asked if I had an allergy or celiac disease so that made me feel more comfortable about the training at the restaurant. They also have a complimentary gluten free roll (which was very good) in place of the typical complimentary pretzel roll every other table gets. Management looked up every ingredient in their new Sangria flights to be sure I could have them.

very mid food in my opinion - I got the braised short rib risotto, the rib was pretty tough and the flavor was just a little off overall. The s’more bundino was SO sweet yet SO rich - I know that’s some peoples jam but it was a bit of a gut ache for me; they did bring GF bread (it’s just a GF bun) out as a starter, and to be honest that was the best part of the meal.

They do have a GF menu and appear to take proper precautions to accommodate for celiac. Just be clear with your waiter! As mentioned above, I do have a gut ache but I think that’s just from all the sugar and oil of the meal.
