Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant

To be fair, my review is a solid 3.5 stars - right between a 3 and a 4. I stopped in after work a couple of weeks ago and ordered the soup & salad combo plus the seasonal summer berry shortcake. First, my server was lovely. However, it took 15 minutes to get my drink - a diet coke. She told me the bar was extremely busy and I get it but 15 minutes for a soft drink with no checking in to let me know, especially for a $30 dinner, isn't great. The soup and salad were good as usual - in fact, the tortilla soup was outstanding! The shortcake, however, was underwhelming. The fruit itself was fine but the shortcake was heavy and bland. I'd recently heard in culinary news that climate change is having a big, negative impact on commercial flour (bakeries having to throw out large batches of menu items that just aren't tasting good, etc.) so I wonder if that had something to do with it. I mean, I ate the fruit and the creme, then took one bite of the shortcake and decided I was done. I'll try and come back sometime but I'm not in a huge hurry.

Great food, we had the Thai Lettuce Wraps which were wonderful and a huge portion. Tortilla soup was good. Entree was a Prime Rib sandwich, which is always a treat, and did not disappoint this time. We were there for dinner, the dining room was exceptionally loud.

The experience was not the best. Our table ordered 3 Dana's Parmesan- Crusted chickens. The bottom was burnt on all 3 orders.. Very disappointing that the chef could send out 3 bottom burnt chicken plates. The bottom was hard. I was not able to easily cut to the bottom to slice it. See photo of a piece of the bottom burnt chicken in the pic below. I've had chicken Parmesan numerous times at the Downers Grove location. It's always been served superbly, which is why I highly recommended this dish to my friends.

Came here for my girlfriend and I’s one year anniversary. Reserved a table for two at 4:30. We ended up getting there a little earlier and the staff seated us after a short while. Our waiter, Eric, was personable, friendly, and attentive. I has the filet mignon, medium rare, which was cooked to perfection. Crusty on the outside, and the middle just melted in my mouth like butter. The broccoli collected some flavoring from the steak and tasted great, despite me not being a big fan it. The mashed potatoes were excellent. Creamy and full of flavor. Not too salty, it was just right. My girlfriend had the shrimp scampi and she told me it was incredible. I’ve added photos of our meal. Will definitely be back at this location again.
