This is the first time we were disappointed. Salas were great. Sirloin not so much. Very tough. Hard to eat. But this was a veteran’s meal so complaining is not appropriate. We appreciate you invited us

Love Cooper’s Hawk and always enjoy sitting outside under the covered patio. Today was especially noisy due to a very expressive and vocal bird, also enjoying the beautiful weather and patio seating (and clearly desperate to find a mate). Of course, CH was by no means at fault for this act of nature. Lunch was delightful and we recommend the house salad with blackened salmon (not on the menu, just ask!).
