The experience here was good. The food and service were good. It was busy, however, we were not waiting long for service. Cory was our server and he went above and beyond to accommodate my allergies and ensured my meal would not harm me. Always a good time and expertise eating at Cooper's Hawk. Shout out to the entire staff who ensured everyone's Thanksgiving day was memorable.

Excellent reception, service and food. Old friends seeing each other after long absence. Restaurant was gracious giving us extended time to visit before and after eating. All four meals were delicious (crab cakes, chic sandwich, rockfish and watermelon salad). Accommodated special requirements of one diner for no alcohol (cooked or otherwise) with grace and generosity. We’d definitely go back when back in Annapolis.
