- JJohnellChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoCelebrating Holiday Christmas Party for small group. Service and food was great, however a little disappointing having the 2 hour max time restriction. Could have stayed longer and enjoyed the amazing cocktails we were having.More infoThe Barrel ClubPrice: Moderate• American• Oak Lawn•4.7
- TTammyChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAbsolutely best restaurant for a festive Christmas italian dinner! The whole restaurant was decorated fabulously! Food was absolutely delicious, large portions of everything including the martinis & desserts! Service could not have been better. Our waitress was personable & took the time to chat with us despite a very busy Saturday evening. I also appreciated the Owner stopping by our table & others asking if we were enjoying ourselves & wishing us a Merry Christmas. There was live music and some elderly couples got up to dance. I've never been here before but will definitely make this a Christmastime tradition going forward! 😃More infoBella MiaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Midlothian•4.8

- KKunoVIPChicago / Illinois •225 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI have a bad review of one their locations in Orland Park, on our dining experience last week 12-7-24. We decided to have dinner last night at their Oak Lawn location and no fail, this is how Copper’s Hawk is supposed to be run. Our reservation was at 7:15pm and we got there at 7:10pm. When we checked in the hostess stated our table will be ready soon. We were seated exactly at 7:15. The food, wine and the service is how this restaurant is known for. Our server (Romeo) was very friendly, accommodating with our request and often checked on us if we need anything. Keep up the great work Copper’s Hawk Oak Lawn and will be continuing to dine at this location whenever we are in the area.More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Oak Lawn, ILPrice: Moderate• American• Oak Lawn•4.5
