Oysters on the half shell were excellent! Ceviche, NY strip, and seafood risotto with bottles of Pinot Gris and Tempranillo wine all complemented each other. Service and attention the detailed capped off a memorable dining experience.

About the restaurant

There may be nothing that brings people together as often as food and drink. A daytime affair, The Restaurant serves weekday breakfast and lunch, weekend brunch, and afternoon tea, where guests may be seated in an art-filled dining room with an open kitchen or the sunlit Conservatory, complete with creeping vines and a retractable glass roof. Showcasing continued attention to detail, the menu consists of fresh, seasonal, signature dishes, complemented by an array of premium coffees, teas, and cocktails for a new translation of the classic bistro.

We had a great experience at Cooper's Hawk this evening. Our server, Tom, was really attentive and accommodating to us. This was my mom's first visit and I'm sure she got a great impression.

The salad was uninspiring . Of three of us who ordered medium filet all were overdone. Two complained but I didn’t bother. The vegetables were good. None of the desserts on the menu inspired us to order. A gorgeous restaurant but the food wasn’t. Kate who waited on us was lovely. We had expected a special evening but it was all a bit disappointing.

We had a department Christmas lunch—party of 13 at a nice long table. TdB is a great venue for an event like this. Our waiter was excellent. After his introduction, being able to head straight to the salad bar kicked things off right. Ditto to the gentlemen visiting often with the various meat selections—taking things to the next level! It was my first time visiting a churrascaria and what an experience!
