"My daughter and I were frequent, longtime patrons of Cooper's Hawk in Downers Grove, IL. We dined there as often as 4 to 5 times per month. On September 29, 2023, we made a reservation for 1:15 pm at this location. We ordered what we usually start with an espresso martini for my daughter, and a bottle of sparking wine with two glasses for the two of us. The server, who also imparted that she had recently been promoted to a supervisor, delivered the bottle to the table with one glass only. When I questioned the server as to the whereabouts of the second glass, she stated that there was an Illinois law precluding diners from having more than one drink in front of them at the same time. She also informed me that she had told me about this policy when she served us in the past despite the fact that heretofore, she had complied with our request. When I questioned her inconsistency with regard to enforcing this rule , the server suggested that I speak with the manager, which I did. I told the manager that in all of the years, and of all of the servers that we had since patronizing this restaurant this overzealous server turned supervisor was the only waitperson that we ever had who cited and attempted to enforce this policy . I also pointed out to him that there were several tables around us at which the diners had four full glasses of wine per individual AT THE SAME TIME! (After all, it is a winery. I also asked the manager that if in fact this was a state law why was it not consistently enforced? Why were those diners allowed to have 4 drinks in front of them as the same time? Was this rule arbitrarily and selectively enforced at the manger's and server's discretion? The manager neglected to respond to my queries and contended that the server was correct. Appalled by the manager's and server's condescending and insulting treatment we left the restaurant. I complained to the Cooper's Hawk Corporate Office, and was informed by the director that the Downers Grove manager had made a substantial error, and had misinterpreted the Illinois law and the attempted enforcement of said. He apologized for the actions of the manager and the server as they had been incorrect. The director also assured me that the manager and the server would be taken to task for their egregious behavior, and for their errors in citing incorrect policy. I will not go to this restaurant again, because the manager of the Cooper's Hawk Downer's Grove location is not conversant with his company's own policies. He obviously does not value nor respect the loyalty of long time, frequent customers, as he made no attempt to assuage and retain this customer."

"We thought they have good reviews and decided to try. However, if I am in my twenty’s I would give them a slight better review. After trying out lots of different foods in different price point, I don’t think they are worth 4 stars.First of all they sushi we order are very well cooked, I don’t except my salmon on top of the roll are fully cooked. Is that tailored to Chinese that just arrived the US or never eaten raw food before.Second, We told the waitress we don’t want all you can eat sushi, that they put a lot of rice on. So we hope to have good quality foods. The rolls are still hard with a lot of rice. The of the sushi rolls take only like the sauce not the food.Third, the waitress said:” I already TOLD YOU!” As she brings out the sushi and lightly mumble the name of the sushi. We at the time not sure what sushi is it comparing the sushi to the food photos we saw. If it is a cheap and low reviews restaurant, we wouldn’t expect too much. However, this restaurant has good reviews at Yelp and Google. I think people should aware the fact of what we experienced today."

"My sister and I came here for our first time and the food was great, the service was speedy and the ambience was very chill. I had ordered a skillet and it was an ample portion that I had to save half of it. My sister had an omelet and the cooks had forgotten to put the ham in her omelet. We had informed the hostess and got a discount on the food. Overall I would come back here again since they have multiple choices and I'd like to try them all."

"Steak was good prime angus beef cooked the way I asked. Salmon was dry though. Waitress forgot to give us the specials until we asked and didn't come by often to check if we needed anything, when I did. Very crowded and and noisy setting if you are looking for a setting more personal."

"We visited this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and arrived during happy hour. We decided to order a few items to sample. Unfortunately, my husband wasn't feeling well that day, so I was the only one who ordered a drink. However, the owner came over and insisted that at least two drinks must be ordered during happy hour, a rule that wasn't mentioned anywhere on the menu. He then pressured my husband into ordering a drink as well. The owner was rude and aggressive in his approach. We were considering hosting a private party here later this year, but after this experience, that is definitely no longer an option!"
