Consistently fine quality, in food, presentation, and service. The menu offers so many interesting options, and the flavors are beautifully chosen to make each plate distinctive. When we order beef as we did tonight it hit medium rare masterfully! Coopers has been a favorite of ours since 2016, across many states, and the Middleton, WI venue lives up to the high standards set by the company.
