    The Resturant is large with high ceilings and open areas. The service was great and our drinks were Perfect. I tried their Winter Spice Margarita- my new favorite. The menu has great selection of pizza, pasta sandwiches, salads and unique main dishes. Appetizers and main dishes were delicious and were ready in no time. We will be going back there for sure.

    As always service was excellent. Arugula salad very tasty. My lobster ravioli was very good but a bit rich for me. I should have chosen something else, but that is on me and not because the dish wasn't very good. Wife had the Festa di Mare. They did offer the Cleopatra but that is a lot of food (we have had before and will have again - but not tonight). Also excellent. Finished off with Tiramisu which is one of the best if not the best around.

    We are visiting the DC area and I reserved this spot for my mom’s birthday and it was great. Everything we ordered was delicious and the decorations for Christmas were a fun touch. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area!

    Our tasting experience was fair but our meal and service with Sam was outstanding. He was very friendly and attentive and made us feel like it mattered that we were at Cooper’s Hawk for our meal. Food, service, wine was awesome!
