    Marina was her normal, excellent self, very friendly and efficient, and busy! My ahi tuna was delicious and attractively presented, and my wife's loaded baked potato was also delicious and loaded! As usual, Tamara stopped by for a pleasant visit, and thanks again to Tamara for her gift at the end of our meal! Another outstanding experience at Stonewood!

    We dined at Coopers Hawk Winery & Restaurant for my birthday celebration. Our Waitress, Paula, was very helpful, since it was our first time at Coopers Hawk, with choosing our wine, dinner and surprised us with a delightful birthday truffle dessert. We had the steak medallion lunch and it was tender, cooked to our request and delicious. We will be back to Coopers Hawk.

    First time here. Great food. Good service. It is an Italian restaurant but it isn’t the “same average Italain food” they have interesting and unique dishes. The salad is small. It is a small appetizer. The ravioli dishes come with 5 big raviolis. Generous gnocchi dish. The duck over risotto was a very good size. Cocktail was made nicely. It took while to order. Drink order. Brought the wine. Waitress made the cocktails and delivered them. Then, brought the bread. Then, went away and came back and told us the specials. Then, came back to take out orders. But this is my only compliant, and would not deter me from returning. Did not have dessert. The restaurant is not quiet. It on the louder side. I think it is the layout. Still a great meal and you can hear people at your table.

    Kore is about providing an elevated, exceptionally memorable experience through the decor, plateware and thoughtfulness put into the expansive options they have. I wish their dessert menu breathed a bit more Korean authenticity to it. For example, it would be nice to see them feature Hotteok, Songpyeon, Yakgwa,or Baesuk, to name a few traditional Korean sweets. It would also be nice to see their beverage program expand upon Korean alcoholic beverages and cocktails that reflected cultural tradition: for example, Gwasilju, as an option for those who want to drink their dessert yet in a low alcohol form, or perhaps see Sansachun in a seasonal inspired cocktail. Otherwise, Kore remains a favorite that I’ve visited repeatedly and I’d recommend for special occasions.
