Gluten Free at Cooper's Hawk

I have eaten at Cooper's Hawk well over 20 times without a Celiac reaction. I love their food...chicken wraps & the chicken dishes. I ALWAYS tell/stress to the server that I have a gluten allergy and if they can write allergy because I don't want to get very sick. This method works for me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Update Aug 2020- loveeee parmesan crusted chicken and Mexican drunken shrimp may 2020- Doing Delivery and pu limited menu. Make sure you get gluten free menu and explain u have celiac. If you have more allergies then ask for gluten free allergen menu. They are not very up to date with what has soy. I have gone many times in the past year and ask for that menu as well as Ingredients. My servers have been wonderful. Love the wine and wine tastings. 2019-The food was ok. I wouldnt get the fish again. It took along time to get our food. Its a very pretty place. Update May 2019 I had great service and wonderful lunch

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The managers and kitchen staff are notified IMMEDIATELY for allergens and Celiac. They bring out separate utensils and bread options at the beginning of the interaction. The staff was notified of my gluten-free needs throughout ALL the courses in my meal. The server was very knowledgeable and understood the severity of my condition and was informed of the menu.

The food was delicious! The complimentary bread was homemade and excellent. I am HIGHLY sensitive to cross-contamination and had no issues throughout my meal. The few things I did order were able to easily be modified by leaving off a garnish or had a delicious substitute. So many choices, high quality food, highly recommend!

This is a quality fine dinning experience catered to every customers needs. The staff is well informed and very accommodating. Very peasant, memorable dining experience!

I eat here all of the time and I have never gotten sick. I know many of the servers and staff personally and it's always amazing and delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food. Gluten free menu is almost as extensive as the regular menu. Gluten free rolls as well. I had the special which was outstanding and gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

BEST GF meal I’ve had in a long time! I had the crispy chicken (something like that) with mashed potatoes. SO GOOD. The owner knows someone with celiac and the menu has a variety of options. I had trouble picking one thing so you know that’s a good thing! Did not have a reaction and I was reassured it would be prepared safely.

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.

Our waitress Kylie was so understanding to me having celiac. She asked the cooked every one of my questions. Food was delicious! I felt great for the rest of the night!! Definitely recommend, they have a gluten free menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I unfortunately got sick here both times I’ve gone. It is a shame because the food tastes incredibly good. I had the drunken shrimp and braised beef risotto both times. I tend to give a second chance to restaurants, but after the second time getting sick I can’t go back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Unbelievable gluten free menu from start to finish. They are so careful and the manager checks everything. Everything was delicious. This place is amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

You can’t go wrong here. Great food, a dedicated gluten free menu, and a manger sign off on every gluten free order to ensure things are done right. They even have freshly baked GF bread to start your meal. And of course 🍷🍷🍷.

Oh my goodness, if you have Celiac and find yourself in Tampa, come here. The gluten free menu is pretty big and lots of variety. Not only was my food safe and tasty, I got a small round loaf of bread. I felt so special.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When an order is placed from the gluten-free menu it gets flagged in their system and a kitchen manager ensures that an area is sanitized and that they use dedicated utensils/etc. All gluten-free food items will come out by the assigned server or the manager, never by another staff member. All gluten-free food items get approved by the kitchen manager as they leave the kitchen.

If you are ordering from the gluten-free menu they will bring gluten-free bread (seemed like just a hamburger bun) plus butter. I enjoyed all of the food I tried: Thai chicken lettuce wraps (same as the regular menu offering, but without the fried wontons and the dipping sauce that contains regular soy sauce), "black and bleu" strip steak chopped salad, and salted caramel creme brulee. All of it was great.

Yummmmy gluten free bread to start out with! And then COUNTRY RIGATONI. Enough said. The best pasta ever. I always try to order something new but always end up getting this entree. Lots of gluten free options.

Very attentive. Excellent GF menu.

VERY celiac friendly! Extensive gluten free menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Probably the largest gluten-free menu I’ve ever seen. Staff was pretty knowledgeable as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Has own gluten free menu with everything from appetizers to desserts. They also have a gluten free bread that is served before meals. I let the staff know that I had Celiac and they were extremely accommodating. Informed the kitchen who took all necessary precautions. I got the chicken picatta which was delicious. No reaction from the meal! Would eat head again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have gotten ill twice from eating here. I’m assuming it is cc.

Celiac friendly?

No

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

Gluten free menu; excellent appetizers, entrees and desserts

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow! Amazing menu! I had the chopped bbq chicken salad and it was great.

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!

Whole gluten free menu and even table bread, super nice staff

I’ve been here multiple times and have never been glutened. They will bring out gluten free bread as a starter. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, food and wine is delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great staff and knowledge. Had a burger on a gluten free bun with mashed potatoes. Delicious. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this place! I’ve had terrific service and super yummy food. Personal faves are the brussel sprout salad, hummus platter (ask for the GF loaf) and Napa chicken salad.

Separate gluten free menu. Gluten free bread is available and they have GF dessert options.

Huge GF menu with tons of options! Loved the Napa chicken chopped salad. Will be trying the one of the risottos next!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

After eating here safely in the past, I had a waitress that didn’t take my mother and I, who are both celiacs, seriously and we both ended up sick.

We’re not eating this way as a fad diet!!!

Best Gluten free menu I have seen yet. Staff was very knowledgeable .

Although they have many GF options, the waitress I had needs to be trained better when it comes to gluten allergies. I ordered a salad off the gluten free menu and she brought it out with croutons on it. Other than that it’s a great place to go. Just make sure your waiter/waitress understands what GF means.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Probably the most extensive GF menu I have seen! Staff was very knowledgeable, manager stopped by the table to see if there were any questions about food preparation. They even brought GF bread before the meal was served. Finally felt like I wasn't missing out and could actually have (almost) anything I wanted, including dessert! Have eaten here several times without any issues!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great appetizers, entrees, and atmosphere. Nice to have gluten free pasta options. No dedicated fryer. Be sure to make a reservation if going in the evening or on weekend.

I ordered Hummus plate from the GF menu and it came to the table with Pita bread.. I immediately asked the waitress if it was GF. She assured me it was, I jokingly asked her again if she was positive and she said "absolutely we make our pita GF. I ate quite a bit of it and it just kept feeling wrong.. like I could taste the flour.. I then said, Wow these are great, can you ask the chef how they do it- she then seemed nervous. I flagged down another server who then told me he didn't think they were GF.. Finally the manager came out and apologized continually about they were in fact NOT GF. She was unbelievably kind, we had no bill and they gave my friend and I gift cards. They place is awesome and the food is great! I will go back I just really urge people to triple check with servers about the dishes. I would of still given it 5 stars but I feel like death at the moment so it doesn't seem fair :(

I eat at Cooper's Hawk at minimum twice a month. The staff is knowledgeable and they are always consistent with the food quality. One of the few places I feel safe eating.

Been here twice. They have recently opened and are clearly still working out some staffing kinks, wasn’t a fan of our recent server. But the gluten free menu is huge, lots of yummy options. The appetizers are amazing and they have gluten free bread to start ( upon request) Management is very attentive which we were impressed by when our steaks were sadly over done. So even though our experiences haven’t been perfect we are definitely going back! There’s still lots of stuff I look forward to trying.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have one of the largest gluten free menus I’ve seen. They do a wonderful job of making allergies known to the chefs. I have other allergies which makes going out to eat very difficult. They are always very accommodating. One of my favorite restaurants.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have gluten free bread for free and many many gluten free options with large portions on the menu. I had their Parmesan chicken and gluten free cheese cake to share

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I did not ask questions about dedicated fryers or space, and I am celiac, so make sure if you are super sensitive you check first. They use Barilla GF pasta and it was great. I had chicken carbonara and it was fantastic. Also flourless chocolate cake. And they brought out a warm GF bread with butter which was delish. They have buns as well but didn’t specify the brand, I don’t like any GF buns so far, but I asked if the warm loaf of bread could be the bun and he said sure...so I would eat a burger there with that as the bun. The menu was a completely separate one you have to ask your server for.

Ate the Dana’s chicken and waiter brought the manager over to confirm they take gluten allergies seriously. Nima tested safe and sensitive celiac no reaction. Gluten free bun was best I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The kitchen sent my steak out with fried onions (gluten). The waiter, Phillip, is knowledgeable about allergies as he has a shellfish allergy. He took care of everything. He was an impressive waiter.
