Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant- Tampa

"This place was highly recommended for a work function. The atmosphere and wine room were spectacular but unfortunately, the food missed the mark. You will likely want to make a reservation ahead of time because it was absolutely packed and very lively. I ordered the pretzel crusted pork chops and finished the meal. It was okay but I wouldn’t order it again. My coworker ordered the Parmesan crusted chicken and it was a thin dry filet without sauce. On the way out I saw a burger being delivered to a table and it looked promising. The service was impeccable and the wait staff was very attentive. I’d say overall there are too many outstanding restaurants in the area so I won’t return on my future business trips. If you prioritize the vibe and looking for a happening place, I’d recommend!"

"Hear ye, hear ye! Gather ‘round, noble folk, and lend thine ears to a tale of epicurean delights at the esteemed Cooper’s Hawk Winery! ’Twas in mine recent venture to this hallowed hall that I encountered the amiable Thomas, whose demeanor was as gracious as a courtly knight and whose service exceeded all measure of excellence. Verily, Thomas didst regale us with recommendations fit for royalty, guiding our palates through a labyrinth of culinary wonders with the finesse of a minstrel weaving a tale. His hospitality, akin to a feast laid out for kings, left us breathless and in awe, for never before had we encountered such magnanimity in service. But ’twas not only the service that enchanted our senses, for lo and behold, the wine pairing system didst reveal itself as a boon from the heavens! With each dish presented afore us, we consulted the menu, which acted as a map guiding us through the vineyards of choice. ’Twas a revelation, a marriage of flavors and libations that titillated the taste buds and left us yearning for more. And what of the prices, you may ask? Fear not, for they were as just and equitable as the laws of the land, offering high quality fare at a modest cost. ’Twas a rare gem amidst a sea of opulence, a treasure trove of culinary delights accessible to all who sought it. Thus, let it be known throughout the realm that Cooper’s Hawk Winery is a sanctuary for those who seek not only sumptuous repast and potent potables but also the warmth of hospitality and the bounty of affordability. Raise thy chalices high, for a feast at this noble establishment is a feast fit for kings and worthy of bardic praise for ages to come!"

"Great restaurant with plenty of menu options for everyone in your group! We love this location in Tampa and there is plenty of parking space in the lot by the restaurant or on the other side of the cigar bar. Seating is usually pretty booked up, but if you don’t have reservations you can always look for some open spots in the bar area. They offer the same menu so it’s not a problem for us. The food is always fresh and you can tell they use quality ingredients in the meals! Their drinks are also great with an unbeatable wine selection so if you’re a wino then this is your spot! If you’re in the area I definitely recommend you give this place a try!"

"My husband and I have been going to Coopers Hawk for my birthday for several years now. They are always fantastic! We joined the wine club this past summer. What a fun experience it has been! Now my adult children ask when I’m going to pick up my wine. They want to go for a tasting too! Of course if we stay and eat it is even better. All of the different areas throughout are wonderful. There is a little bit different vibe in all of the areas of the restaurant. The tasting room, the bar, the dining area, and the patio all are fantastic! Can you tell we love this place? Yes, I have a smile on my face."

"Had the 3 course Thanksgiving dinner. Absolutely worth the experience. Definitely recommended for those who want to enjoy the Thanksgiving meal without the Thanksgiving prep. Cooper's Hawk starts taking reservations in October. First course consisted of butternut squash soup, second course was white and dark turkey meat with gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, and cranberry sauce. For dessert, a pumpkin praline cheesecake. As always, the service (Jonathan) was courteous, friendly, and added to the experience. If available, I will do it again next year."
