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!
We had the tuna sashimi appetizer, I had the shrimp and scallop risotto, and had the salted caramel creme brûlée. The food was fantastic. I am severely gluten intolerant and I had no issues after.
I’ve eaten here twice… they recently expanded their gluten-free menu. They switched out soy sauce in several menu items with Tamari, which allowed them to greatly expand their offerings. So many great options. They even offer gluten-free bread for the table…their normal GF bread is delicious. They also have a back up when they run out that is more of a cornbread texture that is decent but the gluten-free loaf tonight was fabulous. I had the gnocchi tonight. Last time I had the Parmesan crusted chicken.
