Copperwood is a perfect winter spot. The menu has something delicious for everyone -- it is high-quality comfort food with plenty of veggies and sides as well as meat and fish options. The ambiance is super warm, cozy and inviting -- with classy mountain cabin vibes. The staff accommodated additions to our party and seating requests, despite being very busy. The service was great -- drinks and food came out quickly and correctly. We ordered cocktails, salads, oysters, a variety of entrees, and desserts. Not a bad choice among them. I'll be hanging at CT this winter, an you should too.
