Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant- Tampa

My husband and I have been going to Coopers Hawk for my birthday for several years now. They are always fantastic! We joined the wine club this past summer. What a fun experience it has been! Now my adult children ask when I’m going to pick up my wine. They want to go for a tasting too! Of course if we stay and eat it is even better. All of the different areas throughout are wonderful. There is a little bit different vibe in all of the areas of the restaurant. The tasting room, the bar, the dining area, and the patio all are fantastic! Can you tell we love this place? Yes, I have a smile on my face.

Had the 3 course Thanksgiving dinner. Absolutely worth the experience. Definitely recommended for those who want to enjoy the Thanksgiving meal without the Thanksgiving prep. Cooper's Hawk starts taking reservations in October. First course consisted of butternut squash soup, second course was white and dark turkey meat with gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, and cranberry sauce. For dessert, a pumpkin praline cheesecake. As always, the service (Jonathan) was courteous, friendly, and added to the experience. If available, I will do it again next year.

Had a nice date night with my lady. Atmosphere was pleasant, wine tasting was amazing with great prices, the drunken shrimp was my favorite oh and the filet mignons to die for. Front end lady wasn’t too pleasant,had a slight attitude but everything outside of that was fine and I would definitely dine in again! I wish I would have caught her name, but she was a heavier set woman long brown hair if that helps. Maybe she can work on her customer service skills or get a job that makes her happy, like we were :)

We had an absolutely wonderful lunch here! You walk in to a shop where you can buy wine/chocolates/kitchenware. There is also a wine bar in the room. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outdoors because it was nice and shaded and it was a bit cold inside. The menu has suggestions for wine pairings for the wines they produce and was very helpful. The chicken piccata and burger were delicious as was the seasonal bread pudding.

Love all of the food here. They make their own wine which is very good. We joined the wine club and get a free bottle of wine every month which we enjoy. Dana's chicken is our "go to" dish, which is phenomenal. The only drawback of this restaurant is it is such a far drive for us but we take advantage of the proximity to the airport and normally stop in at the beginning or end of a flight.

Best dining experience my fiancé and I have ever had! Logan (male) and Taylor were amazing at the bar tasting and Logan (female) was the most INCREDIBLE server we’ve ever had. Such a great time all around! Thank you all! Also, become a member! Wine bottles roll over if you don’t pick them up every month. Such a win!
