We had takeout while traveling. We used DoorDash and there was no place to note an allergy. I called the restaurant and spoke to someone who took down my name, number and the specific dish I ordered. She said she’d call back if there were any issues (there weren’t) and personally spoke to the kitchen. The food was delicious!
We had a great experience here on Valentine’s day. Even when super crowdedthey really focused on the details. As soon as I mentioned celiac he explained all of the procedures, made the chef and manager aware and the manager came to our table. The gf menu was impressive. The gnocchi with Italian sausage and vodka sauce was really good. Te bread was okay but I was happy they had an option. Really great meal.
So disappointed! After reading many amazing reviews on their double sided gf menu and the special precautions they make for their celiac guests I decided to try. I was so excited to order because I couldn’t believe the options. We started off with the lettuce wraps and gnocchi for apps and the manager came out to double check on our order before our waitress put it through. The manager prided themselves with the extra care they take for gluten allergies and they want everyone to be able to eat at their restaurant. 2 mins later our waitress came back and said the kitchen cannot accommodate me and I could only have salads. Don’t pride yourself on the precautions you take and the extensive gf menu you provide if you really can’t provide it to those who need it. I will never return
BEST RESTAURANT FOR CELIACS!! They have a SEPERATE space for all food made gluten free. So many options I couldn’t choose! They bring out warm home-made gluten free bread that is to die for. Dedicated fryer. Dessert. Amazing service. Honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been too (never mind gluten free even!)
I have eaten at Coopers Hawk numerous times and never had any issues! I order from the gluten free menu and make sure the server is aware. The gluten free roll served first is always warm and fresh. My go to meal is Dana’s Parmesan crusted chicken! The tomato basil relish is so delicious! The chicken is thin and crispy (which I love) but also still so juicy! I love ending the meal with chocolate truffles! The staff are always well educated on gluten free items and the kitchen seems to prepare the food well.
I am celiac. My husband is not. We both had amazing meals. Great quality food. Made fresh on site so they are very accommodating. All orders with a food allergy (including celiac) is tagged with a yellow card in the kitchen and a supervisor, manager or chef has to review the order and sign off. The supervisor or manager brings the food to the table and clarifies the food restriction. Highly recommend this place. There is a separate GF menu. This was one of the best GF meals I’ve ever had (GF breaded and crusted chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans). The GF bun was warm and delicious. My husband tasted some of my food (chicken and bun) and thought they were pretty good. Large portions so very happy that I have leftovers. Too full to order the flourless chocolate cake. Will be back to try one the GF risotto dishes.
I am obsessed with Coopers Hawk! They are one of the very few restaurants I have found in SWFL that bring out warm bread before your meal, and the staff is very knowledgeable about gluten allergies/celiacs. The menu is extensive and everything I have tried is amazing. They also have a huge wine menu and do wine tastings on site (first come first serve). I highly recommend Coopers Hawk to everyone and not only those with a gluten allergy. I have come here with different groups of friends and family who do not eat gluten free and they also loved their meal.
Do make a reservation in advance if possible, this is a very popular place!
My brother is the bartender so a few family members went to visit him during a shift. We sat outside under heaters and felt very comfortable. Waitress was new but seemed knowledgeable and prepared for celiac ordering. Fryer is not dedicated. I chose the steak salad which was very good. Came with a homemade dressing that was gluten free. I believe all dressings were but I’m a little late writing my review. GF bread service was a really sweet gesture for someone who never gets that before dinner snack, but isn’t really that tasty. Ask Hance at the bar to make you an old fashioned for dessert ;)
No symptoms!
I highly recommend this restaurant. The owners sister is Celiac and they go above and beyond to make sure their food is gluten free. They have an extensive gluten free menu and the food is beyond excellent. They have a gluten free bread that is better then some regular breads.
This place is awesome! Wine tasting as we walked in and very cool atmosphere. Perfect place for date night with a huge GF menu. I wanted to order everything on it! We had the Mexican drunken shrimp and it was delicious. Risotto was great and most importantly for me they have a bunch of GF dessert options!!!! Please open a Cooper’s Hawk in the Boston area as I am only in Naples during the winter and I’ll miss it!
We were in the area for vacation. Daughter with celiac and husband with celiac and anaphylactic tree nut allergy. GF bread was the best we’ve ever had and drunken Mexican shrimp were great too. Great service, food and wine options. We went here twice in one week. Wish there was one of these up North. Highly recommend.
Would like to recommend “Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant in North Naples Florida,” there are other locations as well! I booked on open table and when I arrive the hostess said to me, “I just wanted to confirm that you are GF and have a nut allergy, your server and the Chef have already been notified!” Woahhhhhh! I was so impressed as she walked us to the table and placed a small folded card on the table which had my dietary restriction and was left on the table! The GF menu was 5 pgs and included a drink selection! I was also given a chart to cross check for my nut allergy! I order a tossed salad which was huge and I could have split, as it was that big! My entree was Chicken Madeira which tastes as good as it looked! I had cheese cake for desert! My only complaint was the gf bread which was available, but may have been made in a facility with nuts, so I was unable to have! Since it is a winery, we were given free sampling’s before we decided on our wine! I can not even begin to tell u how special this restaurant is if u have Celiac Disease or any allergies! I highly recommend!
Cooper's Hawk has an amazing gluten free menu and takes several precautions to avoid cross contamination. I've been here twice for special occasions and I have not gotten sick. They have various GF wines, mixed drinks, appetizers, entrees and even several dessert options. Its best to make a reservation at least several days in advance because its a very busy place. I look forward to the next time that I get to eat here!
Iam rating this establishment on the food and the celiac knowledge. Servers are very knowledgeable in gluten allergy. The food was definitely 5star .I ordered chicken Piaccata and the fresh baked roll was awesome. This is definitely a place to go back . I've been twice and felt fine
