Our experience for a group of 7 was most enjoyable. We so appreciated having the back room round table as several diners were hard of hearing and this was great for them. Our only small complaint was with our server Pablo. He was very slow to pick up our payment and was more preoccupied in clearing tables that had been empty for quite a while.

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.

We were looking for a unique restaurant close to I-75, for the drive home from St. Petersburg to Naples. How fortunate that we found Mademoiselle Paris. The escargot was some of the best we’ve had, and the duck breast was absolute perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, and made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Highly recommend.

Great service and excellent food. We initially sat outside, but it was a bit cool and they graciously moved us to a table indoors. Will definitely return!
