- BBrandonWisconsin •4 reviews5.0Dined todayWow. That was delicious. Our server was Luis who was very pleasant (had to flag him down a couple times but overall did a great job). Drinks were served fairly quickly (old fashions and black manhattans were tasty). Started with the bread and butter. 3 types of "toppings" on the butter and it was a fun way to start the meal with warm bread. Then we shared a caesar salad that was prepared with some crispy cheese on top and not drenched in dressing. The lobster bisque was like a miso soup meets bisque, different and good but not sure if I would get it again. I had the filet and my wife had the salmon with the skin cooked to a crisp and both were cooked beautifully. Highly recommend.More infoThe StatehousePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Madison•4.5
- LLylyAnchorage / Alaska •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoCame in with reservations and was seated immediately. Shared the frites. They were excellent. Miss the shoestring. Prime rib hash had good size pieces of mushrooms for that umami taste. The potatoes were nice and crispy. Side salad was nice and bright. The kids loved their French toast and bacon. Good portion sizes. The Rolling Stop Omelet and biscuits and gravy were delicious. Can't wait to try more!More infoPaoli Schoolhouse American BistroPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Madison•4.8

- CCatherineVIPWashington, D.C. Area •14 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoConsistently 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.More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Middleton, WIPrice: Moderate• American• Middleton•4.5
