Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Clinton Township (MI)

2 /5 La La La Lindsay: I took my mom to Cooper’s Hawk for a special birthday lunch and unfortunately it didn’t live up to the expectations for such an expensive, “upscale” restaurant. Service was very disappointing. We waited a long time just to receive our drinks from the bar, and my mom had to ask more than once for Splenda for her iced tea. When her salad arrived, it was served with tomatoes even though she asked for none. She quietly removed them, but I mentioned it to the server, who simply took the plate away without an apology or any acknowledgment at all. The food itself was tasty, but the overall experience felt careless. For a restaurant that promotes its wine and membership program, our server didn’t even mention the wine club—ironically, the hostess at the stand told me more than our waitress did. Overall, this should have been a great birthday lunch, but the service really missed the mark. I expected better for the price and reputation.

5 /5 Mateja Ryan: We were quite happy with the service, ambience, food, and drinks here. They were quite busy, and we still got our food and drinks quickly. Claire gave excellent service, and I loved my spritz cocktail, it was so refreshing. The wedge salad I ordered to start was surprisingly large, and I also loved the filet medallions. What a great experience! I loved the vibe.

5 /5 craig bush: Everything was amazing from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was top-notch, and every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The wine pairings were spot on. Our server was attentive without being overbearing.

5 /5 Annora Johnson: I recently visited this location for the first time for a wine tasting with my friend. The tastings here are very affordable, eight glasses for $19 or $22. I had a lovely time, both the bartenders were very knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. The winter seasonal wines are absolutely delicious, highly recommend getting a bottle or two. I personally love the Straw­ber­ry Rhubarb Spritzy Sangria too, soooooooo good! The restaurant has lots of parking, ample space at the bar, and lots of wine options. Looking forward to returning soon and try their food!

5 /5 Jessica Distefano: We have been going to this location for a while since we are wine club members. It’s usually too busy to snag a table on a whim so this time we decided to make a reservation after our tasting. Everything was absolutely perfect -The food, wine, presentation, and atmosphere! Our server Meloney was A++++++ she is a reminder that great customer service is still alive! She made our experience so fun! Her recommendations were spot on! We had the short rib risotto and gnocchi vodka something! Can’t remember the complete title, but she rocked it! We will be getting dinner again after our next tasting! Thank you a fabulous night out!!!
