Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant- St Charles

"We had a WONDERFUL time celebrating our daughter’s wedding shower this past weekend at Coopers Hawk in St.Charles, Illinois! As a professional wedding photographer myself who has been to countless events I can confidently say everything was perfect! We were told by a few that it was the best shower they’d ever been to. The staff was fantastic-courteous and attentive-the food delicious, and the private party area worked out beautifully. Thank you for everything.  We loved it and will definitely be back for future events!!!"

"We brought my uncle here who had a 75th birthday that day. Service was excellent. Ambiance top shelf. Things were neat and clean. And of food was at the top of the chain. We had a great time. We live in the Burr Ridge area so we frequent that location. This was the first time and first visit of the location in St Charles. Will be back."

"Overpriced. Nothing extraordinary. The pistachios were burned on the grouper. There was entirely too much batter on the calamari. The roasted vegetables were mostly peppers and too charred. The server was very nice but had tables at the front bar and we were in the back of the restaurant. So, he ran himself ragged and could not possibly do his job well. 2.5 hour drive for an hour of mediocre dining that cost $180 for the two of us. Meh."

"Wonderful food and service. We made a reservation and got seated pretty soon after arriving. The food was very tasty and everything on the menu had a wine pairing. My wife said the pairings went very well with the appetizer, meal, and desert we had. The only minor thing would be that it was very noisy with all the people as the people were talking over the house music, at sometimes it was hard for my wife to hear me, otherwise it was very wonderful."

"Great atmosphere and as the name suggests, this is first and foremost a wine bar. They have regular wine tasting events, wine you can purchase in restaurant to take home, a wine club and serve your bottle of wine with a fancy wine decanter (you can purchase one at the store). The bar is first come first serve. Otherwise, reservations highly recommended as it’s usually packed. The restaurant has a high end feel and an outdoor patio. For Chicago, there are much better steakhouses. Cooper’s Hawk is not a steakhouse, but it serves steaks, seafood and pasta. A great, wide variety menu to go with your wine. I call this out because if you’re looking for a great steak, this is not it. It’s good, but not great, because this is first and foremost a wine bar. Also be prepared the restaurant is so loud it’s hard to have a conversation with the person across from you. Shockingly loud. We went here for an interview and it was an awkward experience because we could hardly hear over dinner and had to lean across the table and speak loud to have a conversation. Not ideal if you want good conversation, but if you’re looking for a fun night, definitely try."
